that's why I like College sports...if you think about it, it is ALWAYS a rebuilding process...

of course some teams have a higher payroll than others hehe

For the players with standards beyond the almighty dollar, the game itself, and becomming a champion in that sport, is what counts.

Remember Reggie White and his trade from the Eagles to the Packers? He came to Green Bay specificly because he wanted to go to the Super Bowl. He could have gotten more money elsewhere, but he still chose Green Bay.

Reggie White and Brett Favre brought a sense of teamwork, and good old fashioned hard work, back to the Packers again. Result: SuperBowl.

I'm a loyalist. I'm not a big football or basketball fan so the UofM MSU rivalry doesn't come into play. For me it's Detroit Tigers and Roush racing.

The ultimate team is our military, constantly having to reload due to seperations and retirements.

As far as sports goes, the example of what not to do is the $208 Million NY Yankees. They truly underacheive.
