Dear World, Please do not drive today if you live within 1500 miles of Chicago. We are snowed in, and I have errands to do. I own a 4-Wheel Drive Vee-Hic-Le. So I have licence to be out there. You do not. It's just better that way. A Classic. The Roundup: If the producers of EA Sports College Football 2007 are striving to make their video game simulate the world of college football, then will College Football 2008 involve a segment where the players try to steal video games? ...

Armando Allen is Irish
According to Irisih Eyes with Mike Frank, Armando Allen, a Scout's 4-Star runningback with blazing 40 times (4.35!), and a native of Florida, has chosen to become part of Charlie's Army. This is great news for the Irish as they look to improve overall team-speed. Allen is said to have the sort of ability that can very quickly change the complexion of a game. Welcome, Armando!

Carlson Named Mackey Finalist, “Hercules.”
John Carlson, Notre Dame Tight End and, apparently, a favorite of Notre Dame co-eds based on the nickname they've given him, "Hercules," has been named a finalist for the Mackey Award, given to the best Tight End in College Football. Despite missing 2 games. And I keep reading that, "despite missing nearly a quarter of the season." At first, I just assumed it was more anti-ND bias by the media, but then I realized it's more of a pat on the back for Carlson, intentional or not. Just ...
Schembechler Writes Book, Surprisingly Not Ghost Written.
Bo Schembechler has written a book on leadership that will be published in the fall of 2007. Titled "Bo's Lasting Lessons: A Legendary Coach Teaches The Timeless Fundamentals of Leadership," the book is sure to make a huge splash at the Ann Arbor Barnes and Noble, who is putting in a massive order with the book's publisher. Industry analysts expect about 300,000 copies of the book to be sold in Michigan where the copies will serve as temporary table legs, paper weights, and kindling. ...

Miami to Play Nevada in Next “Battle of the Titans”
The University of Miami has accepted an invitation to play in the MPC Computer Bowl in sunny Boise, Idaho. The matchup has developed so much excitement in the college football world that it has left pundits speechless to the point of having absolutely no opinion on the game. The MPC Computer Bowl's highly advanced website, which was most definitely not created by an intern using Microsoft Frontpage '98, is already touting this exciting game. In playing the MPC Computer Bowl, Miami joins ...
Raiders Demote Offensive Coordinator, Brady Quinn’s Life Expectancy Bounces
One of the leaders in the "Brady Quinn Lottery" if the word "lottery" meant "Finding Out Who Sucks The Most Right Now," just demoted their offensive coordinator. We're still praying, for the sake of Quinn and the world's children, that the Raiders don't draft Quinn. Problem is, if they don't, then either Detroit or Houston will. Essentially Brady's unwillingly playing Russian Roulette with a Glock 9mm. The only way to win is not to play. W.H.O.P.P.E.R Cannot find any way that the 2007 ...
Bob Davie Sets Early Withdrawl World Record…
Phoenix, AZ - Bob Davie, former head coach of football at the University of Notre Dame and current analyst for ABC on ESPN or ESPN on ABC or EASBPCN, as the cool kids like to call it, set a world record today when he withdrew his name from consideration for a record-setting number of collegiate football head coaching positions. Observers were stunned as Davie withdrew himself from consideration for 8 jobs in under 15 seconds. Oddly, nobody had asked him if he was interested in the jobs, but ...
Mind The Gap
I meant to point this out yesterday, but I got a bit sidetracked by the latest episode of Heroes and then Studio 60 was actually sort of funny, like when Saturday Night Live remembers they suck and bring back Baldwin for the 50th time to host so that someone, somewhere, might laugh. So, yeah, I got a little sidetracked. Anyway, so yeah, we got hammered on Saturday night. "Blown out" as anyone who isn't a Notre Dame fan likes to say (though I beg you to look at the stats (which are ...
Guess the Bowl Game Game!!!
It struck me today how absurd some of the bowl games are...there are 32 in all. Did you know that? 32? That's freaking insane. I am a HUGE college football fan and I would guess that I'd catch 10. Who is watching the other 22? Madness. Anyway, I thought I'd put up a fun little game here to test your knowledge of the bowl games. And don't cheat. Just pick which Game in each row is the real bowl game. Then look for your answers in the comments section. If you're REALLY ...
