Re: Crosstown Shootout

[Zahid Siddiqi]

I agree it should happen.  Unfortunately, I don't believe it will for many reasons, most of which we will never know.  
   
  I do disagree with the decision to play O$U, at least right now.  They refused to play us all those years they were down relative to us.  Now that the roles are reversed somewhat, we should make them wait.  Just my opinion.
