Friday Roundup: The “Merry Christmas To All” Edition
domer.mq - 10:40 am
We’re probably only going to post once or twice next week. We have a little Q&A planned with UHFootball in anticipation of the bowl game. Speaking of bowls, we also made picks for the bowls, and I’ve got (as usual) an extremely clever way of presenting them, but we’ll see if that ever gets on the site because I’m swamped with end-of-year work too.
So just in case we don’t get to say it again, Merry Christmas!
Dillon Hall: Still awesome, despite the lack of Biscuit, BK, Fr. Birdonnell, or MQ
The Roundup:
- Translation: Mack Brown’s gonna put up 150 on some opponents next year.
- Miami is being tough on an athlete who didn’t show up to class?
- Yeah. I’m starting to think Syracuse still isn’t really serious about football.
- You may have heard of T’eo. He’s kind of a big deal.
- I guess those “Notre Dame is my dream job” comments finally found their way to someone stupid enough to take offense. I’m sure the fact that he’s from the Orlando Sentinel will shock and amaze all of you.
- Butch Davis is not gonna get that Red Rider from Santa this year.

Urban Meyer can go suck a hose. If he comes to Notre Dame, I’m never speaking of “the office of the head coach of notre dame football” ever again.

Wow, that’s elaborate. When I lived in Dillon, one of the sections covered the walls in tin foil, set up a strobe light, and called it “Epilepsy Alley.” Not sure what it had to do with Christmas, but it was hilarious.
We went with a hurricane theme and literally destroyed our section. Knocked out all the ceiling tiles, threw furniture and trash everyhwere, and blasted the Scorpions’ “Rock You Like A Hurricane” all night. The cleaning staff was not amused.

I really don’t want to go down this road. But. Te’o recently became an Eagle Scout. Did anyone else wonder out loud how hard it will be to tear this man away from Provo? I wonder if the article included anything about how elaborate his halloween costume was. Every thing I read about this kids home life makes it sound more and more like it will be very tough tearing him away from the LDS. Convincing someone not to go to BYU is not like convincing someone not to go to Florida. It literally means asking them to go against their religious community. 97% of BYU males go on a mission trip, I’m not sure of the math but I’m pretty sure that number at ND is hovering around…oh, say 0. They actually call this place the Lord’s University. I guess I’m just having some doubts we’re going to be able to convince someone Our Lady is better than his Lord.

In my mind, you can’t go wrong with the “Very Red Christmas”, with the complete USSR theme.
And good Lord, how many Dillon blogs are out there? You, us, Section 29… I mean, it comes as no surprise, of course. You don’t exactly expect the semi-literate knuckle-dragging inhabitants of Alumni to publish anything more advanced than a crude stick figure drawn on a sheet of TP. But still, we rule.

I am out for the week HLS family. Will be visiting family back in the cold out east, drinking beers, hanging with old buds, drinking beers, giving gifts, drinking beers, sleeping in, drinking beers and watching sad bowl streaks end while drinking beers. And drinking beers. Merry Xmas to you and yours and I will see ya’ll next week before the real bowl season ends. Have a great holiday everybody.
