GO BLUE!  (I sure hope we win more than 3 games this year)

OK - how about a review of our favorite college football teams and the railroads that served them (when they travelled by train)?

Even though I never attended school there (not that I didn't want to), I've been a Wolverine my whole life.  I know Michigan had and still has the Ann Arbor Railroad going through their campus and they likely used it as a connection to start their road trips.

Anyone else?

Yep - Ms Mook's UN-Lincoln was mentioned on Sirius-XM this morning.  When the stadium is full, it's like the fourth largest "city" in Nebraska...

Don't think they use any rail to get them there, though.

The equipment has been moved for the University of Iowa's football shuttle.
