Opposing responses to Pac-10 sports column
Columnists
perspective shows predjudice


   In reference to Mike Connolly's Nov. 30, Outside looking in column.

As an outsider looking in your prejudice is showing. The truth of the matter is that Oregon State is a threat to Notre Dame getting into a high dollar Bowl game. The BCS was supposed to be the top team this year, not last year, not next year, but this year. Shall we look at the teams ND played this year? I don't think you want to do that (Go Navy). I don't think you are capable without first removing the blinders.

Have you ever watched any of the Oregon States games?Again, the fact is ND is in the Fiesta Bowl because of M.O.N.E.Y. Let's face it, the BCS was a good idea, until money became the focus. We all know money corrupts absolutely. If you asked knowledgeable people who they would bet their mortgage on, Oregon State or ND? What would they say? After the article you wrote a confession is certainly in order. Oh yeah, stop looking in, the truth is out there.
