While Notre Dame's Football Program is currently boasting a 95% graduation rate among players (and we have a feeling it would be 99% if not for some transfers), the rest of the college football world is graduating about 77% of their players (and let me just point out that AP Poll #1 THE Ohio State University is brining down the average - by a lot). That average would seem pathetic to most, but the president of the NCAA, Myles "Never Met a PC Cause I Didn't Like" Brand is excited. Hey parents ...

NC State Trying to Solve Overcrowding Problem In Stadium. Coach Amato Doing His Part.
Thanks to EDSBS for pointing out this story of how some NC State students like to do a #1 in the stands while their team does a #2 on the field. It's believed that an overcrowding problem is at the heart of the matter. NC State student body president, Will Quick, describes the problem: "I know people were urinating in their sections," Quick said. "I have heard reports of individuals being splashed by urine." Clearly he's never cheered on the Irish in Ann Arbor if he thinks that's so unusual. ...
T.O. Spat out of Hell by Devil
HELL--The Devil, tired of dealing with "a bunch of jerks," refused entrance to his Dark Kingdom to controversial Cowboys' wide receiver Terrell Owens. "No way. F@#$ that guy," the Devil said after Owens tried to kill himself Tuesday night by overdosing on painkillers. "He's so full of himself! God, what a douche," the Devil said, while feasting on the entrails of a serial rapist. Any takers down there? No? Owens, afraid that the spotlight had shifted slightly off center from his ...
There Is A God, And He Wants Me To Be Happy
Sure, the headline could apply to our miracle come-from-behind-oh-my-God-does-John-Elsmith-suck-at-coaching-look-at-him-cry! win at MSU, but actually, there's bigger news this week... Huge news, in fact. Every week, it seems more and more likely that I can once again watch ESPN without going into some spastic fit induced by moron talking-heads, the overkill of onomatopoeia in play-by-play, and columnists with less actual sports knowledge than my dog posing as "sports journalists." Jason ...
Saturday Football Broadcast Ads…
Here's what I've learned today from the advertising on college football broadcasts... Cadillac: It's cool to be old. Dr. Pepper: Can you really live in a world where you're fatter than Mike Golic? GM: We're finally building those flying cars from Back to the Future 2. Desperate Housewives: Being slutty is fun! Apple: Even we can't take the stupid out of glowsticks. Hummers: Make you look fat. Ruby Tuesday's: Uh, yeah. You're sure to love that all-you-can-eat salad with your ...

SMQ’s Made His Picks…
And he seems to have issues with Notre Dame's karma. He's picked MSU over ND and Washington over UCLA. The only way the weekend could end in a more "kick in the teeth" way for the Irish is if Michigan were to lose to Wisconsin. Fear not. When SMQ picked Notre Dame No. 1, he was projecting some improvement from the veteran defense and a steady if unspectacular running game, for neither of which there has been much evidence to date. Lines on both sides are shaky. Presumably Quinn and Co. ...
HLS Drops Ball, Fails to Mock Clarett
COLUMBUS, OHIO---It has been more than four days since former Ohio State running back and future ESPN studio analyst Maurice Clarett pled guilty to aggravated robbery and carrying a concealed weapon, the punishment for which will be at least three and a half years in prison. Yet at the internet site, Her Loyal Sons, which covers college football from a Notre Dame viewpoint, not a single article about Clarett could be found. Model citizen Maurice Clarett shows off his new uniform. "Well, I ...
Friday Roundup
Lots of quality stuff in the blogosphere today: The House Rock Built has an excellent edition of their Friday Night Lites. Pay close attention to what his guest from the Enlightened Spartan has to say about MSU's team, and you might feel a little better about ND's chances tomorrow. Irish Round Table makes me want to go and buy a Mac. Wizard of Odds picks ND to win in his GOTW. Colin at Irish Eyes says that the Irish's confidence is back. Fire Mark May, the second greatest cause on ...
