NEBRASKA COULD SPLIT ELECTORAL VOTES www.bgnews.com/opinion LINCOLN. Neb. (AP) — Nebraska and Maine are the only two states with laws allowing their electoral votes to go to more than one candidate. Democrats say Gore could win one Nebraska electoral vote even if Bush gets the most votes statewide. Two of Nebraska's electoral votes are awarded based on the statewide election. The other three go to the highest vote-getter in each of the state's three congressional districts. OPINION KDITOMAL Ruggers give Bowling Green pride

The Yankees represent much that is wrong with Major League Baseball. Their team payroll is too high; they have convicted drug us-rs in their system and they boast a team of superstars who think they can pretty much do whatever they want, such as Roger Clemens. However the Yankees keep on doing one thing right, winning. Like it or not, the Yankees have been baseball's most successful team in the past five years. Four American League Championships since 1996 and a possible fourth World Series title speaks for itself. No team has come close to equaling their success, and that includes the Atlanta Braves who have won nine straight divisional champi- onships. Like all great teams, even when they aren't really the best, the Yankees have found a way to win. Of course they have had some help with this. New York strug- gled through most of the first half of the 2000 season. Never fear though, since 95 the Yanks motto has been. "If were not winning, bring in someone new." Yankee owner George Steinbrenner did just that. He went out and got Superstars David Justice. Denny Neagle. PtUoprowM and Jose Canseco. If the average team had as much money as CABOOSE: Flanker Alex Demma breaks a tackle for BG with Brian Virost and Nick Thaxton in support. BG went on to beat Ferris State Steinbrenner. New York might not win so much, look at the Milwaukee Brewers. So New York got bacK into first place, and Rugby hits despite having a worse record then The Cleveland Indians, who didn't get in, the Yankees limped the 100 into the playoffs.
