And so for all but the Seniors, it’s time to go home. Not that the Land of Our Lady isn’t home, too. I mean it’s time to go to your original homes – land of private bedrooms and non-abrasive toilet paper. Sure, usually there are two rectors, one male and one female; and the dining fare selections are significantly more limited at mealtimes (by the way, if you complain about the food, you can expect to take a spatula to the face). But it’s home…for three months, and then you can come back to ...
At this time in July, as families travel across the country, grade-school children catalog their new experiences so they can write those all-important “what I did on my summer vacation” essays. At this very same time, across America, sports journalists are sloughing off the blackened husks that used to be their integrity and are skimming the sewers of half-truths and scurrilous gossip, as they prepare to smear Notre Dame in the style of angry chimpanzees with handfuls of their own filth. This ...
“To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.” If you tell me that’s from a really cool folk rock band and you like to listen to it late at night when you’re drunk and nostalgic because it reminds you of your high school senior retreat, I’ll increase your Theology requirement from two courses to 16. It is Biblical Wisdom Literature, and in this fleeting season of dramatic transition, we turn to it for guidance. Classes have ended, papers are coming due, final ...
Sorry Tex, unscheduled rant coming... Excuse me, WHAT THE HELL IS KATIE COURIC DOING? The whole world should be calling her out for the BS she displayed yesterday. Not gonna? Okay then, I will. Thanks Katie, for getting me back into RANT MODE. Don't get me wrong, I actually thought 95% of her interview was decent. It wasn't soft, she asked some tough questions, but those questions deserved to and needed to be asked. For her to look at all professional, and to give Manti a chance to answer ...
So I can't let Rick Reilly's article go. Maybe that was part of his cunning plan: so infuriate the Irish that they go on an undefeated run which causes him enormous pleasure because that entire bit about him turning in his fan card was actually a literary deceit. But in all likelihood, he was being sincere and he was actually offended that NBC didn't tear up its contract with Notre Dame. So this season, a season in which The Irish have "returned to relevance" (those are air quotes - we've never ...
I've been kind of quiet on the site this week. Lots of travel for work. Lots of babies (ok one) that are sick. Lots of wives (okay one) with Strep. Lots of lots going on. But don't you think that, for even one second, the seething ball of hellacious fire of hate burning inside me hasn't been raging with the hateful power of a thousand suns since the SECOND the MSU game ended and we officially started Hate Week. I haaaaaaaaaaate the Skunkbears! Tried to kill our program. Misguided ...
Here's the thing. I get it. You're frustrated. It's been a long time since ND has been really great and you're sick of it. We all are. So something happens, whatever it is, and you decide to boo. This is where I stop getting it and I know right away that you're a dick. Dick. STOP EFFING BOOING YOU TOOLS. Do you WANT to lose the game? Are you HOPING you get in the head of the kid with the GAME IN HIS HANDS SO HE SCREWS UP? Because then HE will lose, and you will...what? WHAT? ...
So you guys, by now, know the drill. Wait, there are tens of thousands of you that are new since last year? Well, okay then, a quick primer: I pick the score of every game, and I use Dancing Leprechauns - to the scorn of most of my peeps - to declare my certainty. My records of late: 07: My inaugural year, was ugly. I said 8-4 with a lean towards 7-5. We all know how that turned out. 08: I said 7-5 with a strong lean to 6-6. Pretty good. Sad that I was right, but I was right. 09: Said ...
The following is a list of Ty Willingham quotations that we found needed only slight alterations to sound as though they're from a discussion over a break-up. And we didn't have to edit some of these... "What I always try to do is take Tyrone Willingham out of things. It's not about me." "First thing is, as you know baby, this is a very difficult afternoon for me, just a very difficult afternoon.. To say I am disappointed, I think that very much misses the mark, but at the same time, ...
Yeah. HT: irishgreg6 ...
