Welcome aboard, Mr. Moore! # Meyer says he'll "never" coach at ND. If only we could trust his word, it'd be a great, great thing for ND football. # @NunesMagician Purses do not count. in reply to NunesMagician # Sam Jackson just slammed Mark Sanchez and USC at the Espys. Awesome. # No wonder Michigan crushed us 2 years ago. Lamar Woodley is inhumanly ginormous in person. # @oopspow I'll bet G-Force gets better reviews on RottenTomatoes in reply to oopspow # Powered by Twitter Tools. ...
Urban Meyer To Coach Notre Dame…
...when pigs fly. Midway through the talk, Meyer was talking about the "nonsense" that came up again last week when a column by Paul Finebaum in the Mobile paper indicated (again) that Meyer is leaving Florida for Notre Dame after this season. He turned to me and asked. "Is it OK to make this announcement here?" I knew what he was going to say because he said something similar when the speculative story surfaced three weeks ago. Meyer turned back to the golfers and said, "I'm not ...

Friday Roundup: The “Dog Days” Edition
Man, coupled with the absolute lack of college football happenings this week, the MJ and McNair "news" and "coverage" was just brutal. If only Michael could have keeled over in September. We could have completely missed it. This week, even Poodle Pete is taking a break from spoon feeding us any football joy. Don't worry, world, Pete's not really taking a vacation. He's just heading to Cabo and then Maui to help improve their joy profiles. (Also, ellipses to finish sentences, ...
The NYT Thinks ND’s Schedule Is Weak
I can't help but notice that the New York Time's excellent college sports blog, The Quad (yes, I said it, the NYT, despite not understanding what's happening to it and its industry, has an excellent college sport blog), thinks that ND's 2009 schedule is pretty weak. No. They haven't come right out and said it, but they have certainly implied it, purposely or not, by ranking all 120 D1 College Football teams leading up to the season and doing the following.... Ranking Michigan (sucks!) at ...
Randy Edsall Will Probably Never Coach at Notre Dame
Whether Charlie Weis ceases to be the head coach at Notre Dame after this season or the 2020 season, I'm going on record right now and predicting that Randy Edsall, current HC at UConn, will never be the head coach at Notre Dame. At least, he'd better not be. Why? Because of a tiny little quote from this story about the likelihood that the NCAA will really throw the hammer down on SoCal... UConn's Randy Edsall, tempting the fates on record: "The NCAA isn't as stringent as it used to be ...
Wha Happen?
The couple of dozen of you who snuck away from the family this weekend long enough to check the internets and see if anything of import happened regarding your favorite college football program were likely disappointed. 1) Nothing happened. And 2) You were greeted by this particular website posting its "tweets" about elevntyfortythousandhundredtwo times. So, wha happen!? We're not sure. No. We weren't looking to further piss off internet blog commenter "Herman" or whatever the ...

No doubt TODAY will be the day the USA comes to love soccer! But will it last tomorrow? # We've decided to reconsider our commitment to healthy living. We'll be taking officials to booze and snickers this week. # Roller coaster 2-days...Fauria gone for 6 months, Martin looking (as a backup plan I am hoping), Hendrix is Irish. Ugh, I hate offseasons. # check out http://www.qbforce.com and check out all the creepy weirdness surrounding UM (sucks!) new QB "savior". pure weirdness. # RIP MJ ...
Friday Roundup: The “Misery Begets Genius” Edition
I find it massively irritating that in a week when a young woman was randomly gunned down by militant thugs who protect a theocratic, repressive regime, Michael Jackson's death will be bigger news, not just locally to the United States, but Globally as well. Japan may never recover. In normal conversation, I've a tendency to point out what I don't like about people, not individual persons, but people in general. It's a habit that's managed to keep me out of a lot of friendly conversations. ...
You’re So Predictable: Bad News
You've already heard that Chris Martin has gone soft on his verbal to Notre Dame. You've also already heard that Fauria is out for the summer and fall due to "personal reasons." Life has taught us little, but one thing it likes to teach us again and again is that bad news comes in threes. The last 2 seasons total loses: 9 and 6 - each divisible by three. See what we mean? Oh, and 9 + 6 = 15... also divisible by three! What are the odds of that!? So with that in mind, we ask all you ...
