LEARNING TO WIN. The Packers went to Miami, where they last won in January of 1968, and prevailed over a Dolphins team that is baffling all the experts that picked them as a contender. That outcome accompanies a Badger win at Purdue, where the Boilermaker offense couldn't carry rivets for a boilermaker. How does that cheer go? E to the wye dee wye dee ex, slipstick, slide rule, goes to zero! Closer to home, Northern Illinois rained field goals on Temple, despite some offensive troubles that the pundits suggest are pushing Garrett Wolfe's Heisman chances toward that absorbing barrier. The game came after a 90 minute parade (the Daily Chronicle's slideshow is a rather long download even with a fast connection) combining the DeKalb sesquicentennial and the first centennial Homecoming anywhere in the world.
