Why I Hate College Football

It’s the people that make me hate college football. And by “people,” I mean everyone. They ruin an otherwise entertaining exercise of tactics, strategy, and athletic competition. Between the college “kids” who are freaking 18-22 years old and should know better than to do some of the stupid things they do, and [...]

Molnar Taking it to a Whole New Level

According to this article, ND’s new OC, Charley Molnar, created a new kind of offense while coaching at Cincy.

Being tackling dummies for the drummin’
And though we love your heart we got starters to get in line

The Exchange

Sometime in mid-November:
Fan #1: Man, Weis has to go. I mean, this is horrible. UCONN????? Give me a break!
Fan #2: I know man. I mean, when he’s gone recruiting will take a huge hit. Transitions always do, and Weis was a great recruiter. But it’ll be worth it. [...]

My God, We’re So Old…

Since the 2010 recruits entered high school…

…Notre Dame’s football team has lost to the following teams:
Southern Cal, four times; Michigan, three times; Boston College, Michigan State, Navy, and Pitt, twice each; Air Force, Georgia Tech, LSU, North Carolina, Penn State, Purdue, Stanford, Syracuse, and UConn.

And that’s not even the horrible part that makes me feel [...]

Brutal Weekend in Recruiting, but Silver Lining Remains

Though expected, ND lost a few solid guys over the weekend.
DE/OLB Blake Leuders, a Catholic from Indiana with solid grades and a great frame, dropped ND for Stanford.
RB Gio Bernard dropped ND and ND is no longer in the running.
Barr chose UCLA over ND last week.
These were three of the higher-rated guys considering [...]
