A Michigan Alum Gets Jacked Up About Playing ND.* *This is NOT representative of typical Michigan grads, we swear. ...

Snip, Snip…
SMQ has a great little description of what he saw in the ND/Penn State game. Just a cut here... a tuck there... "...The "they didn't beat us, we killed ourselves" line will be in full force [by PSU], and with plenty of supporting evidence. Witness, though, the maddening surgical precision of Notre Dame's offense and Manchurian Candidate Brady Quinn on the Irish's eight offensive possessions in the first three quarters" Mmmmm... Maddening Precision... ...
HLS Experts’ Picks, Week 2 Results: ND is 2-0 and so is Sed
As always, the rules are here. I really have no comment here. Sed's ability to not be a homer like most of us, save BK, has enabled him to pull away from the pack in week 2 like Pitt's high powered offense. (We're still checking on that. Nobody, apparently, watched Pitt's game on Friday night, prefering to watch reruns of Full House.) I think I'll wait to pick Brady as a top 5 yardage passer yet again until we play a cupcake like Purdue. ...
PSU’s Throat Introduced to ND’s Foot
Travis Thomas: The soul of ND's foot. I didn't go to the game yesterday. I went to ND, and I tailgated, but I just didn't feel like shelling out hundreds of dollars for scalped tickets or wasting valuable tailgating time looking all morning for some benevolent person looking to give a young alum a couple of tickets at face value. So instead, I sat out behind a van with some good friends and watched the game on a small television about 300 yards from Gate C of Notre Dame Stadium. I just had a ...
College Football World to Other Guy: “Man, how much must NC State Suck?”

WSJ Unfairly Characterizes/Bashes ND Football in Headline
Now do these guys suck or what? They take an article about the skyrocketing prices for hotels (set by hotels), tickets (set by scalpers since face value is reasonable at less than $60) and rooms for rent (set by individual owners, etc.) and imply that it's the football team's fault! I mean, take a look at the headline: Notre Dame Football Introduces Its Fans To Inflationary Spiral. The italics are mine. Really WSJ writers? Did Chuck Weis and Brady Quinn walk out to the fans and ...
Penn State Fans: The True (and sad) Story
This is the headline to a recent column in the Penn State student newspaper: Season not over with loss to Irish For a second there, I thought it was next week's paper, with the inevitable outcome highlighted in the headline, published early. But actually, it's a current article in their STUDENT NEWSPAPER proclaiming that everything will be okay if/when PSU loses to the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame tomorrow. This, my friends, is the difference between the two schools' fans. PSU ...
Paterno: “Um, about that whole ‘discipline’ and ‘rules’ thing… F&%K It.”
Showing that even an undead, ancient relic can have a total disregard for his own rules and principles when they are no longer convenient, Joe Pa's gonna let BranDon "Big D" Snow play in this weekend's game with Notre Dame. No way their juggernautalicious rushing performance against the Zips has anything to do with this. Quoth the Penn State Scout site: "At Penn State Media Day in early August, Nittany Lion coach Joe Paterno said veteran fullback BranDon Snow would miss at least the team's ...
Dillon Pep Rally Tonight – Crackhead’s Revenge
Yes, the Pep Rally is back. And I'm sure it will be absurd. Such a great and time-honored tradition, the DPR was brought into the modern day by our own BadKermit when he came up with the idea of tying the theme to the Karate Kid and later, Back to the Future. The Observer has a pretty lame article about it here: ...
HLS Experts’ Picks, Week 2: We Feel The Need – The Need For Speed. Yeehaw!
Again, the rules of the game are here. Last week we saw what was expected when West Virginia helped Marshall help West Virginia. All they need now is a little quand. We also saw what we thought we were expecting in the Miami/FSU game, as we all pretty much predicted a defensive battle and got, in its place, offensive anemia. And finally we got something unexpected in the ND/GT game. While we probably all expected a tough game, we didn't expect the score to look like something out of a ...
