Bring on College Football
It must be August because I’m starting to think a lot about football. How will my favorite teams do? How dumb will the bowls look in January and why don’t we have a playoff yet? Will I get to see any good games this season? San Diego State– Let’s start local. Last year the Aztecs…

Don’t Fire Charlie Weis
I just read Pat Forde’s latest attack on Notre Dame. All season long, he’s called the players names, the coach names, even the fans names. Now he thinks that his pens will fell Charlie Weis. I hope that doesn’t happen. Here are some reasons why: 1. The team is young. I have watched most of…

College Football Check-in
Here’s a mid-season check-in of my favorite teams. #1 Notre Dame For a team that barely won 3 games last year, I’m please with their progress. I actually think some fans expected the Irish to win 8-9 games based on their week schedule. Essentially, they have beaten the team’s on their schedule that they were…

Notre Dame Football is #1
Unfortunately, they are #1 at “least efficient dollar per win.” Allegedly, Charlie Weis made $1.16 million per win in 2007. Here’s the list Oops.

Ode to Charlie Weis
I’ve been very silent about Notre Dame football this season. And for good reason. I knew it wasn’t going to be a good year over the summer when Coach Wei, at a celebrity golf outing, told the press that he thought it was going to be a tough year for the Irish. He said, “we’re…

Notre Dame vs. USC
It all comes down to tonight’s game with USC. My Irish are looking to avenge the last second heroics of last year’s instant classic. With no Matt Leinart, Reggie Bush, or LenDale White, I think the Irish really have a shot to win. Keys to victory for the IrishThe first thing all the commentators want…
