So the game's been finished for about a day and a half. Here's a list of all the things I've done since the game ended: Driven back to Chicago from Naperville. Now, that doesn't sound like much, but apparently it's akin to traveling the Oregon Trail. With a broken leg. Unpacked a lot of boxes. I'm moving and as such, even though all of our stuff is now in our new place, it's still in need of unpacking. So even though I moved on Thursday, I'm still moving until every last piece of crap ...

2 is better than 1
So I fired up the Tivo and watched the game for a second time (MUCH more enjoyable not having smelly Tech fans around) and one thing really stuck out in my mind. - How great is it to have Rhema McKnight healthy and playing again this season!! I mean I knew he was coming back...I knew it would rock but the reality didn't hit me until now. Saturday he caught eight balls for 109 yards, including a 44-yard reception down the sideline. With Rhema back on the attack now teams can't just overload ...
WE WON!! (thank you defense)
It may have been ugly at times...but we won! I may have a sunburn and smell...but we won! I may have have gotten jeered by Tech fans on the long walk back to the car...but we won! GO IRISH!! Glad to see we were able to pull a defense together in the off season. It was this defense that held the Yellow Jackets to 259 total yards...they also won us this game. Now off to bed...good night to all the Irish faithful. Looks like someone got some D in the offseason. Tech students show ...
Mark Jones Proves He Knows Nothing. At All.
Mark Jones, play-by-play man for the OSU vs. NIU battle royale left me nearly speechless today when he interviewed former OSU linebacker/Current Packers Linebacker A.J. Hawk over the phone during the 2nd quarter of the game. As the interview was being wrapped up, Mark exposed the fact that his interview questions were written for him by someone else because he actually said, and I quote (sorta. Not too sure. May not be verbatim.), "So who do you like in the game later tonight? I know ...
HLS Live-Blogging: ND vs GaTech Pre-game
Just got back from checking out ESPN College Gameday live and have uploaded some photos to Flickr. Here are a few random shots, you can view the whole photoset here. Now that's what I call lunch. Coming up on the Gameday crowd. The boys broadcasting our favorite show. There were plenty of ND fans in the crowd also. ...
ESPN College Gameday details
After scouring the web I finally found some details on the location of ESPN Gameday tomorrow, I mean would it be too much to ask for ESPN to have some decent information on the Gameday website?! This information came right from the Georgia Tech athletic site so I assume it is pretty reliable: WHAT: Georgia Tech will be the center of the college football world as the popular ESPN College Gameday program, featuring Kirk Herbstreit, Lee Corso and Chris Fowler, airs live from the Tech campus when ...
Some Advice For BYU
Well central Utah newspaper the Dailey Herald is running out of ideas to help BYU return to glory, and has decided to just print a list cliche football quotes to FIRE the team up. They instruct the players to "stick newspaper clippings inside their helmets for easy reference." I mean COME-ON is this college football or youth football? Well keeping with the theme the Daily Herald has started here is some Her Loyal Sons advice for BYU: "Eat all your vegetables." "Don't talk to ...
Calvin Johnson: The Biggest Threat You’ll Never See
Here's the end result with Calvin Johnson: He's a great athlete, and he'll make some amazing catches Saturday and throughout season, but overall he's not that much of a threat. Why? Because his QB sucks. All we hear from Tech fans all day every day is CJ, CJ, CJ. And the response has always been "CJ can't throw it to himself", and there's the rub. CJ is a great talent and certainly a first round NFL prospect, but in the end RB is a 50% passer, and you can't carry an offense on a WR's ...
Lou Holtz vs. Bob Davie
I don't even have to try to be funny for this. Just look at the question posed by AJC "writer," "Tony Barnhart," of Former Notre Dame Head Coach Lou Holtz, and former snot hockey champion, Bob Davie: "Can Notre Dame win the national championship this season?" Um, "can" they win the MNC? Um, yeah. So could Temple (They're still D1, right? No?). Any sensible person, like Notre Dame Legend Lou Holtz would say yes. In fact, read this response by Lou: "YES" See? Now, in contrast, see ...
USA Loses To Greece in Basketball World Chamionships, er, World Basketball Championships. Um, I mean FIBA… Whatever.
The world stopped staring at the clock for the start of college football today for about 2.8 seconds to take notice that a bunch of NBA "talent" lost to Grease in the World Basketball Championships, or something. Most American Men age 18-35 didn't even know the NBA was still playing basketball and wonder what they will do if this current season overlaps into the start of the next season. Meanwhile, most of the populace's response to this news was a collective shrug and a request not to ...
