One thing that drove me crazy this weekend was the fact that we don't have a kicking game. I mean, going out and getting Ryan Burkhart seemed nice. He seemed to have a strong leg and all that, but clearly the guy isn't accurate. Carl Joy-yeah has been incredibly inconsistent during the season, and these extra point woes are ridiculous. CW needs to recruit a kicker. A REAL, top of the line, top of his game, solid long distance and accurate kicker. It should be easy. You tell the ...

The Status? On the way…
Today on ESPN, Ivan Maisel chimed in with this: Notre Dame is an inkblot and project on it what you will. The Irish finished 10-2, which is great. They played an easy schedule, which means they're phonies. They appear headed for a BCS bowl for the second consecutive year, which is great. They haven't beaten anyone they shouldn't have beaten in Charlie Weis' two seasons, which is not good. Two years in, Weis has turned around a program that appeared mired in mediocrity. Two years in, an athletic ...
Legacy?
A few weeks ago, Charlie Weis was asked what he thought the ND Seniors' legacy would be. He responded that he felt that the seniors' legacy would be determined in the last few weeks of the season (including the bowl game). "You're always rememebered by how it ended," Weis said. So now the question remains, is this how the ND seniors are to be remembered? The class that couldn't beat Southern Cal? The class that couldn't win the really big games? No. Notre Dame fans will always ...
Friday Roundup: The Wednesday Edition
I wanted to put out a roundup today since, well, let's face it, most of you aren't even at work today, so what are the chances you'll be at work on Friday? Besides, it looks like a lot of other bloggers have put out a great deal of material in the last 24 hours because, well, let's face it, they're not gonna be at work on Friday either. So here's the roundup: House Rock Built has put up a large amount of bulletin board material for the Southern Cal game. Apparently most bulletin board ...

ESPN: More Shots at the Irish
So on page 2 today, some person named Bomani Jones (poor kid had to have been heckled maliciously) takes some more shots at ND. So that's not worth posting about. But what's crazy is that the shots are taken in the context of arguing why Michigan deserves a rematch with OSU. AND it has nothing to do with wins and losses, head-to-head, strength of schedule, or anything relevant to that discussion. (Okay, yeah, it's Page 2 so it's to be expected, but hear me out...). It has to do with ...
Jason Whitlock – An Ingrown Hair On the Ass of Society
Well, I knew that Jason "Oooh! Twinkies!" Whitlock was a tool, but I didn't know he was a brazen tool. Thanks to The Big Lead for pointing out that Jason "Momma Says Crisco Is A Condiment" Whitlock has Notre Dame ranked 9th in his latest AP Poll ballot. This means he has us ranked behind 2-loss teams Texas, LSU, and Oklahoma. Do not trust this man, Ladies. You'll just end up hurt, lied to, and covered in butter. ...
HLS Special Report: It Wasn’t The Grass, Jagg-offs.
It was the tiny green men. In an exclusive investigation by Her Loyal Sons, we've discovered that the cause of USC Uber Star Desmond Reed's injury, sustained in the 2005 Notre Dame/Southern Cal game, was not, in fact, caused by the length off the grass in Notre Dame Stadium, but by little green men who had been miniaturized by Charlie Weis' special robot minitiaurizer beam gun attachment. The nefarious Charlie Weis miniaturized dozens of former Notre Dame leprechauns who were equipped with ...
