Not to mention that a totally uncalled for bowl such as the Alamo Bowl will outdraw it.

Maybe, but certainly not in attendance. When Michigan (deep snow, frozen land) plays Nebraska (cold wind, landscape of cornstalks) in the middle of the week with no competing programming other than reruns of "Attack of the Killer Squash" or "Cooking with Dr. Phil," they should draw a respectable number of TV viewers. But they only put about 62,000 folks in the seats while the Sugar Bowl will draw a sellout 72,000.

Pup, we must be gentle with Sharkey. Poor thing can't help his delusions. It happens when one's brain is frozen for a large part of the year. Why, just the other day I ran across these pictures from Sharkey's family album. Bless his heart; it's enough to make you cry.

Here's one of Sharkey and his friends having a little picnic and card game:

And here's one of the grandkids:

And here's one of Sharkey fixin' to make his morning commute:

I worry about Sharkey. It just ain't healthy! One of these days those rolling eyes of his are gonna freeze in place, and then what a fix he will be in!
