Questions about the SEC-Big Ten Challenge...

While I would agree that this concept has merit, there are some lingering questions about the match ups and corporate sponsorships that clearly need to be addressed before anything of this magnitude could be attempted.

1. Is there going to be any kind of farm equipment company or poultry sponsorship involved? If so, can we eliminate the John Mellancamp "This is Our Country" advertising campaign from the commercial spots by way of double jeopardy?

2. Is it true that mathematicians at Vanderbilt are able to compute formulas faster than those at Northwestern due to their membership in the SEC? Does this mean we should use all-SEC statisticians for viewer convenience?

3. If Michigan opts not to take part in their scheduled match up, can this just be assigned as their annual September loss and will a free pass be granted for the Notre Dame game so Michigan can get on with their goal of winning a Big Ten title?

4. Will anyone be at the Indiana-Kentucky game? Or should it just be televised at Rupp Arena via closed circuit television so as to generate excitement for students and fans alike?

5. Is sending Purdue to Alabama just an experiment to see if Joe Tiller's head will explode on prime time TV?

6. Is there anyway we can get Musburger to get "preoccupied" on Bourbon Street so we can avoid his commentary on the OSU-LSU match up? Seriously, you know the lineup for that press box looks to be Musburger, Herbstreit, Jack Buck, Clark Kellogg, and a cardboard cutout of Woody Hayes
