This is not your father’s college football world. And now you can go and look and see just how much it has changed thanks to some great work by Brian Fremeau on his BCF Toys site.

The AP final top-25 was significantly more connected in 1989 than 2009. Only nine ranked teams played at least four games against other ranked teams last season; in 1989, 18 ranked teams did so. Twenty years ago, the AP top-10 either played or shared a common opponent with an average of 17 other ranked teams.

Go check out the link. It includes spirographs, and they are awesome.

We’d be horribly remiss if we didn’t mention the most horrible and sad thing to happen this weekend in college football: The death of UConn DB Jasper Howard. He was murdered near the UConn student union the night after a game in which he had a career-high 11 tackles and a forced fumble which he himself recovered.

Randy Edsall pretty well summed up the shock of this terrible moment:

“One of my sons has been taken away,” he said. “There is nothing in my job description that says you have to identify bodies.”

We’re terribly sorry for the loss.

While the entire college football world, or the ND fanbase (the Google to CFB’s internet), seem focused on how this game matches up on paper, we’ve finally come to the point in the Weis era where it’s time to stop looking at what’s on paper. It doesn’t matter if the paper says that the Irish are finally within arm’s reach of the talent pool at Southern Cal, and it wouldn’t matter if the paper said that the Irish were going to have to play the game with lead weights tied to their ears. It’s been 5 years since Charlie Weis took the head coaching job at Notre Dame. This will be his 5th attempt at beating the Trojans. All the analysis in the world wont change the fact that if anyone tries to do anything five times, they should at least manage to do it once or get out of the way and let another one of the kids in line have a go.

Anymore handshakes between Weis and Carroll had better feature a big grin on Weis’ face.

The Roundup:

• Nice preview of the big game from Rakes today.
• Brian Kelly and Cincinnati doubled up USF despite losing their “Heisman contending QB” and having a defense that was completely rebuilt in the offseason – to the point that former Irish QB Demetrius Jones is a starting linebacker.
• Conquest Chronicles seems to feel very confident in the Trojans’ chances and compiles a list of relevant links both for and against their reasoning.
• Everything you ever wanted Sporting News to ask Robby Parris.
• Just linking to this because I find the UW fanbase’s bitterness towards ND to be hysterical. So much anger! it popped up in my feed reader, I confused it with a UW blog that also uses “Dawg” in the name, and I wasn’t being very careful in checking the source. Oops.
• The seat seems to be getting warm for Mark Richt at Georgia.
• It must be nice for Gruden, what with this economy, to know that no matter what, he’s going to be employed next year. Just don’t ask him where.
• Can’t believe Biscuit hasn’t already hammered RichRod on this. Also, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
• If you’re in Hawaii, first, make sure you have dinner at Mamma’s Fish House in Maui. 2nd, make sure you wear ND gear if you want goodwill from the locals.
• Maybe Rich Rod was thinking his “student athletes” were so great because he was looking at them relative to what FSU churns out. Note to Seminole fans: My toddler just pointed at the word “Apple” and said, “Apple.” Can your linebacker do that?
• The creator of the internet – the real one – would like to apologize.

Jebus. Who’s idea was it to move to the east coast? Did you know all the Thursday night college football games end after midnight here? Thank God some Ethiopian once said, “hey, I bet if we roast the hell out of that little bean, and then beat the crap out of that little bean, and then make it sit in really hot water and then drink the resulting brew, it’ll help us wake up.” Well done, Ethiopia. Thinking like that is what got you to the forefront of the global economy.

Note: Yeah. Had to change the title and the content after THIS happened.

The Roundup:

• House Rock Built has been busy… creating his own puppet opera? I have to share the movie here too, because I have to be sure you all see this.
  
  
  
  
• You’ve already hear that they’re likely to reinstate LeGarrett Blount at Oregon. And no, we’re not going to ride once more upon the mighty steed of incredulity and righteousness. We’re actually okay with it. Relative to the punishments received by certain Michigan players for throwing sucker punches, Blount’s already served 2 life sentences.
• Holy Carp, there’s such a thing as “goaltending” in football.
• Ask yourself, if your team lost 4 consecutive fumbles, would you be alive today? Ask yourself this: If your team’s opponent lost 4 consecutive fumbles, and your team still lost, would your house not be a smoldering pile of post explosive wreckage?
• Hey, whatever happened to Mitch Mustain?
• I read this piece about doom and gloom for ND haters and want to yell out, “It’s a trap!”
• This piece really solidified things for me. If Golden gets the ball, no matter the formation, we’re calling that play part of the “Golden Cat” offense.

• RT @ESPN_Others: A game you're not watching… SDSU 14, UCLA 10 << Man, can I relate to this one. #
• RT @mikerothstein: and it's on. student section chants "beat the irish" #
• RT @edsbs: Knock knock? Who's there? Al Groh. Al Groh who? Virginia lost to William and Mary. /weepingsounds #
• RT @jeffowens95: I still can't believe we loss, I really need to watch this film for some closer << 'closer' what? Or do you mean closure? #
• Julio Jones: Thrown to 4x, caught 1 for 14yds. Mike Floyd: Thrown to, what, 5 times, caught 4, 3tds & 189yds. Wish he had that "SEC Speed." #
• RT @danshanoff: Alum Jon Stewart HAS to mention William & Mary's win on the next Daily Show, right? < c'mon. it was just Virginia. #
• Guessin ND will be 19 in the next poll. #
• Bob Davie just called a bunch of people in the northwest 'southeastern fans'. Wtf? #
• Washington looks surprisingly. Ney! Shockingly good. #
• Or. LSU is overrated. Likelw a combo o both #
• Fyi. Bradford sprained his shoulder. 2 to 4 wks out #
• Terrelle Pryor seriously had a tribute to Mike Vick on his eye black strips. Sad, and not surprising in any way whatsoever. #
• RT @sportstalkmatt: Can a Coach get fired at Halftime? Wow Dan Hawkins….you said 10 wins this year? #
• RT @edsbs: I see the answer to Miami's defensive speed is to begin running high school plays. << Doesn't UF run Pop Warner stuff? #
• RT @slmandel: Jacory's back out there — crisis averted. << Averted? You sure this averts a crisis? #
• Until proven otherwise, FSU/Miami is just 2 teams that can't stop one another. Great production and drama does not make them relevant. #
• Clearly they don't spend a lot of time on kickoff coverage in the state of Florida. #
• It's official, @slmandel, these are just 2 teams that can't stop one another. I don't think this really means a return to relevance. #
• Bobby Bowden is so uninvolved with FSU Football, he doesn't even seem interested in the end of this game. #
• RT @AdamCaparell: How thankful is the ACC that these two have staged a classic game..? << If only they could only play one another all year! #
• And now for the anti-climactic, 00:00 on the clock replay to show the refs got that right. #
• RT @mikerothstein: Weis seemed impressed with Forcier's poise in his first game #Michigan #NDFB #
• RT @mikerothstein: Charlie Weis is talking. And, James Aldridge is out according to Weis. << Oh CARP. #
• #waystodescribetheFSUMiamiGame: "Pathetically Rabid Kitten Fight." #
• #waystodescribetheFSUMiamiGame: "Sloppy second… stringers on most any Top10 team." #
• RT @jdubs88: Weis was driving in to work at 4:20 am today. I was watching a Manson family doc on the History channel at 2:40 a.m. #
• RT @jdubs88: Lou Somogyi, senior editor at Blue and Gold.com, pointed out at presser that ND was +12 in TO at home, -15 on road last yr. Hm #
• Ever notice how many people write "Random Thoughts" RE a game? Why not "Thoughts I Don't Want Attributed To Me?" or "Please Don't Hurt Me." #
• Nice piece by @slmandel As if I'd tolerate FB plyrs getting same ND degree as me w/o putting in the wrk (RE: "myth"). http://bit.ly/4fSZDE #
• RT @mikerothstein: Clausen on '07 gm: "That might have been physically the toughest game I ever played." #NDFB Took 3, 4, 5 days 2 recover. #

• RT @ctinsley12: #ESPN NFL – CLE Plain Dealer: #Browns coach Eric Mangini named Brady Quinn as starting QB #NDFB #notredame #
• If you've got #notredame football news, be sure to use the #NDFB tag! All the cool kids do it, and it makes RTs that much easier! #
• @sleepydad Hrm. Not that we know of. We'll try to just use #NDFB during a game if we tweet. The time of tweet should make it clear. in reply to sleepydad #
• @sleepydad Like it. #goirish is an excellent game-watch hash-tag. in reply to sleepydad #
• RT @squiggledot: Michigan tickets: obtained. Boo. Yah. << Don't forget your hardhat and goggles. #
• RT @willowztroll: @herloyalsons @squiggledot you need the hard hat & goggles to protect you from errant Mich passes! < Sadly, that's not all #
• Someone fine me a first source attributing the quote "putting the nasty back in dynasty" to Weis. @thebiglead just attributed it w/o src. #
• RT @UND_com: Men's basketball schedule has been finalized as UCLA and Big Monday Showdown highlight home slate: http://tinyurl.com/qoszup #
• @TC1310 Yeah, I figured it was something like that, but still… in reply to TC1310 #
• @TheBigLead So you attributed a student t-shirt slogan to Weis as a quote? Um… in reply to TheBigLead #
• @TheBigLead I wonder what else Weis never said that's on backs of t-shirts. in reply to TheBigLead #
• "I have not yet begun to fight!" #thingsWeisNeverSaidButCouldGoOnATShirt #
• @oaknd1 Exactly. in reply to oaknd1 #
• RT @TheBigLead: @herloyalsons @DavePhillipson take it up with the Mesa Tribune writer, fellas. << Wow. You aren't getting this at all, huh? #
• RT @squiggledot: Lots of people on others' shoulders, some being thrown in the air, ushers are letting it all happen << so good to hear! #
• @TheBigLead You've attributed a quotation to Weis. The Mesa Trib didn't. Read their bit closely. Where does it attribute that quote to Weis? in reply to TheBigLead #
• Clemson/GT has been as entertaining as FSU/Miami but for totally different reasons #theresAWellCoachedTeamPlayingTonight #
• RT @squiggledot: BEST PEP RALLY EVER. I'll put photos up on my blog later. << Awesome. #
• Oooh. Dabo forgot to tell the QB never to throw back across a defense. Oops. #
• Why's Dabo's coaching technique seem to all fall in the "You're so STUPID!" bucket? #
• Dabo's either never coached his team not to break the halo rule, or coached him to break the halo rule all the time. #
• RT @TheNDleprechaun: Best rally I've ever been to… The players are ready to turn the Big House into Our House… << O 2 B a student again #
• RT @elevenwarriors: Every time Mark May speaks, it weakens the nation. #
• I'll bet Allstate spend 1.8 million on lightbulbs for its HQ campus each year. #
• Sort of find it amusing that the MSM covering #NDFB seem irritated that they weren't informed earlier that Manti will start. #
• RT @ESPN_Others: I have to say… Army looks far more competitive than it has, especially on defense, in quote some time. It's fun to watch. #
• RT @ChiTribHamilton: #NotreDame takes field. Stadium boos. James Aldridge officially not dressed for action. #NDFB #
• These refr are f-ing screwing us. Thats just a fact #
• Excessive celebration my f-ing ass #
• How did we go from 9 sec to 11 sec? Where did the refs sprint to? This game is not over. #
• Where did those fucking refs go? #
• How is this ok? Instead of takin it to 11 from 10 they took it down to 9. Then they just leave? #
• Allen had 7. Overturned without incontrivertable proof. #
• Weis and Swarbrick should formally complain #
• Someone show me how that was unsportsmanlike? No freakin way #
• Tate is legit tho. Thats for sure #
• So much blame to go around. Weis, refs, Tenuta, Alen, Tate, Oline, replay refs, defense. But the season isnt over. Will this team respon … #
