After two weeks in which entropy decreased across the universe, light traveled at any old speed it liked and gravitational attraction varied inversely with the cube of distance, the fundamental balance was restored as the Paladins in Purple sent the Red Menace of Bloomington to the dustbin of history -- at least, for 2010.
The ever-thoughtful Cats granted the scurrilous Reds of the Moscow of Monroe County a fair chance, remaining tied 10-10 at the half before doubling their score in the second half. Much as the free world allowed the totalitarians of Godless Communism to retain a token foothold in the world -- the University of California at Berkeley -- Northwestern permitted the Hoosiers a final, face-saving touchdown with less than a minute to go before chuckling at an onside kick attempt that failed to go ten yards and restoring natural law by winning 20-17.
The Wildcats have a tough test next week, as they travel to Penn State and face off against the Nittany Lions and their seasoned leader Joe Paterno, who counts among his coaching successes the Norman victory over the Saxons in the 1066 Hastings Bowl.
