So over the past week we have heard much about MSU's storied football tradition, but did you know MSU is not just a football school? Students have many enriching activities from which to choose: Exhibit A: Dodgeball Team [youtube]rqHlUzdDrRM[/youtube] PWANGE!! Exhibit B: Paintball Team [youtube]ZANnw9bYsWw[/youtube] WARNING - watching paintball is as exciting as watching paint dry. Exhibit C: Glass Breaking Team [youtube]bdr-cz3pxEw[/youtube] I'm sure potential employers ...
Megaphone Trophy Spotted
HLS spies deep within East Lansing have managed to return a picture of MSU's beloved Megaphone Trophy: It should now be quite obvious to everyone why the Irish did not bring the trophey to last years game (that shade of pink clashes with our gold helmets of course). ...
Waxing Less Painful Than Football
As mentioned last week on EDSBS, a Michiana man got a full body wax in exchange for ND vs Michigan tickets. Well the video has put up on YouTube...enjoy(?) All that pain for even more pain...man this guy is hating life. Which hurts worst this week? Being a Notre Dame Football fan or being a 40 year-old virgin? [youtube]i4YCPG2gPOE[/youtube] An ND Football fan [youtube]D6Gs5BpgsCw[/youtube] A 40 year-old virgin ...
Wheaties: Breakfast of Leprechauns
So you're a large food products company and want to capitalize on the ND hype...what do you do?? Well if you are General Mills you release a Wheaties box with the Notre Dame plastered all over it. The official unveiling took place last Friday in front of the bookstore. My favorite part of all this is the bookstore is marking up the price of the boxes to $5.99! Bastards...I never forgave you when you started charging more than $0.99 for ND shot glasses. My advice skip the bookstore, go to ...
Know Your Irish History: 1966 ND vs MSU
Despite the recent flag planting shenanigans, ND and MSU do have quite a storied history. According to some we may have even put the Spartans program on the map (we did). This year's matchup marks the 40th anniversary of the "Game of the Century" where #1 Notre Dame faced #2 Michigan State and the game ended in a 10-10 draw (I know I know, a tie...but we did go onto unload on USC and win the NC). To commemorate the 1966 matchup both teams will be wearing special patches in Saturday's game...MSU ...
Silver Lining in a Blue Gray Sky
Rivals.com is reporting 5-star CB recruit Gary Gray has committed to Notre Dame. Gray's godfather and assistant football coach had this to say on the subject (via PalmettoSports): "He felt like that was the right place for him," Wages said. "He had it in his mind a week or so back." Wages says the Notre Dame coaching staff made a big impression on Gray. "A major reason was his relationship with his would be position coach," he said. "And coach Weis has done a great job recruiting him. And he ...
YANDFYHC (Yet Another Notre Dame Football YouTube Highlight Clip)
I know there are tons of these ND Football highlights set to -INSERT RANDOM POP SONG HERE- video montages (and Oldie has this category pretty much wrapped) but this one is decent. I especially like the slow motion clips of the campus/stadium/crowd as the video starts. Amazingly the Eminem song used, Lose Yourself, fits the Irish's pursuit of the national title pretty darn good. Hopefully this gets everyone PUMPED for tomorrows game...

Know Your Irish History: Charlie Weis
So we all know Charlie Weis was an NFL coaching machine (or Genius Robot maybe?) before becoming our fearless leader...but what happened in the years leading up to this? Well NBCSports.com trys to fill the blanks in a decent 3-part video series. Required viewing for all the hardcore ND Football fans: Part 1 - Weis Begins Coaching Career Part 2 - Weis Learns Football As Assistant Part 3 - Weis Finally a Head Coach One thing the series overlooks is the fact that Charlie spent 4 seasons ...
Play Like A Champion…Live it, Breath it, Slap it
ESPN.com has an excellent article chronicling the history of the "Play Like a Champion" sign that players slap while running out to the field. Although the signs origin is unknown (I think it came from heaven) former ND coach, Lou Holtz found it in a picture of it in a book while researching ND Football history. This inspired Lou and in 1986 he revived the sign and commissioned stadium painter Laurie Wenger to paint it. UND.com also has some great quotes on Lou's belief behind the ...
The Enemy of my Enemy
Well after stomping all over PSU I sort of like the cuddly little lions now. I'm sure this will fade over time (ok it's faded)...but they do get one thing right: [googlevideo]7058775473278995403[/googlevideo] Hey Michigan, it's 10:19 here and guess what...you still suck. ...
