That's how they beat us - the ignorance of the general population. Stupid people have TVs and buy cars and McDonald's and viagra and shitty beer and will watch what they've been conditioned to watch.

Yeah, people are generally pretty oblivious, which is why a MLB player like Derek Jeter could miss the first half of the season and still be voted to the All Star game, or how apparently some guy in SC won an election because he was the first name on the ballot.... but that doesn't really have anything to do with Missouri and Nebraska, unless you think they should have only compared 2007 and 2008. Nebraska is a great fit for the Big 10, and details revenue that ranks in the top 20 of the country & those 3 NCs in the mid-90s & the BCS bowls in the last 10 years certainly doesn't hurt.
