WASHINGTON President Bush's private meeting today in Washington with Republican lawmakers erupted in laughter when the talk -- turned to football.
Several ribbed him about Ohio State defeating Texas 24-to-7.


Saturday's football game pitted the nation's top-ranked college teams in the big game in Austin -- where Bush lived when he was governor.


Bush was attempting to gain support from U-S House Republicans split over his plan to allow harsh interrogations of terrorists.


Ohio Representative Deborah Pryce says they gave Bush a scarlet Ohio State flag with a gray block "O" in the middle.


She says Bush took it well -- and even called the group "a bunch of sore winners."
