Notre Dame Football
Clear Eyes, Full Hearts Can’t Lose… Unless You’re Stanford.
With a record of 0-5, I knew Stanford was bad, but I needed to see just how bad. And as we all know, statistics never, ever, evereverevereverever lie. So here are the stats: Rushing O Rank - 101st Passing O Rank - 58th Total O Rank - 92nd Scoring O Rank - 109th Rushing D Rank - 119th Total D Rank - 117th Scoring D Rank - 114th Punt Returning - 117th Kickoff Returning - 115th Pass D Rank - 37th Sacks - 113th Tackles For Loss - 119th Sacks Allowed - ...
Scheduling Tidbit
Thanks to ESPN.com's Pat Forde for this little nugget: ...top teams have loaded up on home games against beatable opponents. That 12th game on the schedule has been a popular spot for easy marks from I-AA and the Sun Belt, Mid-American and Western Athletic conferences. Of the currently ranked teams, only USC (4) and Notre Dame (5) have played all their games against opponents from the Big Six conferences. ...
Stanford Band, John L. Smith Consider Rehab…
Mark Foley: Thinks that John. L. Smith. should coach Stanford. Shady Pines Rehab Clinic - Both having long histories of bizarre and sometimes subhuman behavior, Stanford and John. L. Smith. are considering making public, tearful appologies, thanking their friends, loved ones, and God for standing by them in their time of need, and then checking themselves into rehab for non-specific "addictions" which can then be blamed for their transgressions. Insiders report that both the Stanford Band ...
Matrix Ranks Wake Forest No. 9, New Coke No. 1
THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS--The Colley Matrix, where illusion is reality and nothing is as it seems, released its Week 6 college football rankings, in which Wake Forest checked in at number 9, Rutgers number 10, and Washington number 12. The Matrix was designed by obvious football fanatic Wes Colley (pictured below). Wes Colley: Tie from the Tucker Carlson Collection. Eyebrows from the Chip Caray Collection. Colley earned his Ph.D. in astrophysical sciences from Princeton. We went upstairs ...
The Cardinal: Our Band is a Bunch of @$$’s
You have to love a week where the only thing we can really mock, given the 0-4 record, is the band. But you have to hate the band that mocks the Pope and was therefore banned for life from ND Stadium. Okay, maybe it's not forever, but it should've been. I guess we can rest easy knowing that the dorks with the Tubas will be playing for SATAN'S ENJOYMENT IN HELL someday, but it still bothers me. However, it made me feel a little better to see that the Stanford Band was used as bait for wolves ...

John L. Smith on MSU’s Loss to Illinois: Seriously, Weis Wasn’t Even in the Replay…
Maybe Smith should have concentrated on his upcoming game rather than make excuses post-ND-comeback-magic. And it sounds like MSU doesn't like it when opposing teams act like they do: "The celebration for the Illini (2-3, 1-1) got a little testy, when they rushed to midfield to plant their school flag in the Spartan Stadium turf. Players from both sides briefly traded pushes and shoves before heading to their respective locker rooms." But, unlike John L., at least Ron Zook is mature man ...
Friday Roundup
I can't help but feel a little like this week sort of just flew by and we all missed it due to a long emotional recovery from the MSU game and a relatively uninteresting game with Purdue. Which sorta makes me feel like the Purdue game is the ultimate trap game. Afterall, we're quite aware of the scientific fact that the ramblings and rantings of grown men and women on the blogosphere can and do affect the performances of young men ages 18-23 on the football field (look it up). And Purdue has ...
Tonight: Future ND Star Clausen Takes on Venice; Biscuit Takes on Feeling Old
I'll be headed down to the Oaks Christian - Venice game tonight in Venice, given that it's in my backyard, to see our future Heisman Winner in action. I hear there will be a ton of ND fans giving him a warm welcome and their support as well. It should actually be a good game, as far as High School football goes, with both teams boasting experienced players that are blue chip recruits. And you can catch it on ESPN2, which is just sick in and of itself. While Jimmy battles Venice, I will be ...
