Oh Sure, Sed might have the big lead, but a funny thing has happened lately. You can sort of feel it in the air tonight (cue Genesis). Momentum. It's a fleeting feeling, but when you've got it, you should embrace it, and take advantage of it. Sed, at least for this week, don't got it. They can both feel it. Ew. ...

The University of Navy: We Can Be Dorks Too
Hey, I've got all the respect in the world for the Midshipmen, but when you make a video like this, it's bound to be posted on the internet for all to see... [youtube]5n9gfkNzY_s[/youtube] PS - Army wouldn't have used the floor mat. Oh Snap! UPDATE: Middies play with Legos. Which is ok. Legos rule. [youtube]kAqLpmlXziY[/youtube] ...
No You ND Haters, Chuck wasn’t Bitching.
You've all read the quotes on the AP wire or ESPN.com... "One of the teams (Tennessee) that jumped us had the same game that we had. They're down, they're playing at home and they win by a field goal. Another team (Florida) that jumped us wasn't even playing. They were home eating cheeseburgers and they end up jumping us. That befuddles me. …"Tell me how that works? Maybe I'm just stupid. Tell me how that works?" And I'm sure that all you ND haters (and therefore Weis haters because you wish ...
Freddie Mitchell Causes Fan Angst At ND Last Weekend. Yeah. It was Freddie Mitchell Causing All the Angst.
Who? Freddie Mitchell. The other guy playing receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles back when T.O. inexplicably still hadn't destroyed that franchise. Who knew Freddie "Gator Arms" Mitchell had played for UCLA? UCLA fans didn't even know this. Freddie Mitchell, seen here, yet again letting a ball pass thru his hands as he hears footsteps. Anyway, Freddie wasn't a very well-behaved visitor to ND Stadium: By the 3rd quarter, this a-hole was pointing at UCLA fans in other sections and ...
Paul Hornung Loses Pants, Hilarity Ensues
SOUTH BEND Friday evening, in front of thousands of spectators, Notre Dame golden boy Paul Hornung made a true statement about his love of the game. The "Where's My Pants?" game, that is. Hornung celebrated the 50th anniversary of his Heisman award by giving a heartfelt speech at the Notre Dame-UCLA pep rally. His pants celebrated by dropping down to his ankles. All records at the Where's My Pants Hall of Fame were previously dominated by game pioneers Bad Kermit, ChisND and Peej. With ...
I Go to UCF for the Articles
Playboy is coming to UCF, and if it doesn't use this guy in at least one of the UCF girls' spreads in the upcoming "Girls of Conference USA" pictorial, Hef has really lost it. Bonus points for having a girl named "Watwood" quoted in the article. Watwood? 'Dis wood! ...
Point Made on Relative Reporting: Evidence Ivan Maisel ESPN
DTK, a UM Fan (may God have mercy on him), had some things to say about my post below on how the media and the Pollsters view ND's performances. In particular, I have taken offense at how they always point back to our whupping by the Wolverines (and yes, I admit it was a whupping) as to why we should be lower in the polls. And my argument isn't that it was not a whupping, but that we get penalized for such a whupping more than other teams have. Ivan Maisel, in his ESPN.com column today, ...
Leinart is a Father (Resisting Headline Including “Bush Push”)
Congratulations, Matt. With this super-spawn of a child made up of genetic goo between yourself and your college girlfriend, twenty-some years from now you'll sit proudly in the audience as your son, your son, your executioner brings down the house with his "sexy, but refreshingly light" tango in Dancing With the Stars. The happy couple, seen here together. Well, ok, not together. In fact, we can't find any pics of them actually together. ...
The Lesser of 2 Evils – 2 Stupid, Obnoxious Evils
I'm just not sure what to do with this. Jason Whitlock moved over to AOLSports.com after being booted from Dear Leader in Sports for pointing out the obvious about a couple of his fellow ESPNers. And now The Big Lead has pointed out that the Hostess Spokesman has ripped open a can of whuppas (gets a link for this single merit) on Mitch Albom in his hysterically titled new column "Real Talk." What do we do? For whom do we cheer? This is like picking sides in the annual Miami/FSU game. ...
Finally, Someone Gets It: Thanks to the Dash
Forde doesn't always get it right, but he got it right this week in his column about the 1-Loss Wonders on ESPN.com. What I like most about it is that he finally puts the Irish loss to Michigan in perspective. He doesn't forgive ND for crapping the bed in their own house, but unlike the rest of the sports nation he doesn't crucify the team either. Which is refreshing. His two main points are 1) Michigan is the #2 team in the country 2) The score looked a lot worse than it ...
