I hope he’s managing a Radio Shack these days.

Domer, the eye does not run in the family. Just picture Stu with normal eyes, balding, about 30 pounds overweight, with a defeated look on his face.

Anyway, the real question is, does “The Eye” run in the family?

Interesting trivia on Western Carolina, it is where Stuart Scott’s brother went to school. How do I know this, you ask? He tried to sell me Amway when I was living in Raleigh. I need your opinion, what is more pathetic:

A) that I got suckered into listiening to an amway pitch for more than 1 minute
B) Stuart Scott’s brother tries to trade on his brother’s fame while pitching Amway

Nobody actually knows where Western Carolina is, including me, and I grew up in Carolina.
So if I have to give up the academies, what says the Big 10 of Northwestern and Indiana? Or Iowa?

There is only one rule, and ND does follow it as well as UM, you have to stay in 1A, none of this 1AA or DII crap that the SEC just seems to love.

By the same token though, there are many ND fans who do play the “toughest schedule” card, I am by no means including you in that group however. To sum up, my point is that I think this is a coping mechanism used by certain segments of all fan bases.

Yeah, I’ll agree the tough SEC has developed into one of those media creations that developed into indisputable facts like “Peyton Manning is the best QB ever” or “Brett Farve is a warrior” (as opposed to a turnover machine) or “global warming”. I’ll tell you what, if ND can admit it schedules the service academies for the sure victory instead of “tradition” (everyone does it, it’s fine) then Bama has to just admit that since they can no longer pay players they have just sucked.

And no fair holding me accountable to what I’ve written in the past. That’s my job. And the victims are supposed to be from ESPN, CNNSI, etc…
Besides, hoping my team (singular) gets a quality win is different from hoping multiple teams in my conference do well so as to benefit from the overall aura. Let’s put it this way, how long must we let Alabama get away with saying, “Gosh, this SEC sure is tough?”
