And a quick message/request to Nick,

I know your sort of new to the area and all but just in case your not aware of it we do play football on the west coast. Maybe throw us a bone of at least one game each week that folks here will, you know, actually watch.

UCLA@Stanford or maybe even, God forbid, USC@ND. Not really any drama leading up to this game, with no story lines or history behind it but what the heck it would be a difficult game to predict with a fairly even split on who picks who to win. Even has a midwest flavor to it.
