...eternal war between the boys and the girls, chalk one up for the boys. When TV's two fledgling broadcast networks, UPN and The WB, first went on the air in the mid-'90s, they followed a similar path, blazed by Fox in the '80s: They started with a schedule heavy on African-American stars, built an instant following among minority audiences, then largely spurned them with new programming that went after young white viewers.

...Skinny: In the '90s, the Buckeyes did more than lose to Michigan. They lost their most talented underclassmen to the riches of the NFL, making those season-ending losses so bitter. Oh, what might have been if top-10 picks Wilkinson, Pace, Glenn and Boston had stayed in school. And now Robert Smith leaves the NFL early...
