Title a gift to Wolverines

How anyone with at least average “football savvy” could have sat down and watched Michigan’s lackluster performance against a No. 8-ranked team in the Rose Bowl and then watched Nebraska’s pummeling of a No. 3-ranked team in the Orange Bowl, and still think the Wolverines belong on the same field with the Cornhuskers is beyond me.

Michigan fans better count their lucky stars, because next year, with the Alliance set up like it is, the true national champion will have to earn it on the field and not have it given to them by a bunch of voters.

Christmas came early this year for Michigan fans because this was truly a gift. Jeff Bendowsky Deer Park

More soccer news, please

I think you should definitely have more coverage of soccer in your newspaper!

NBC and ESPN are going to put 47 soccer games on television next season. There were 57,000 people who sat in the rain to watch the D.C. United beat the Colorado Rapids in the RFK Stadium on Oct. 26.

Major League Soccer has drawn more than 5 million people in its first two years. I am a 10-year-old and soccer is a huge sport to my friends and me. We love soccer so much at my school we played it in the snow last year.

Kids would read the newspaper more if there were more soccer articles. Rowan M. Gaffney Coeur d’Alene
