Got Salsa?


Well, well, well. Looks like Charlie has led the Irish to the BCS in his 1st year. This is much better than the 7-4 record I thought would happen. And they came only 8 points away from being UNDEFEATED! Just a couple of things I noticed:
  • First off as many people thought after the 2nd play of the game, I thought this game was going to turn into a rout. Then Quinn threw 2 INTs. And I had a feeling if they do not get the visions of chips and salsa dancing in their heads and focus on this game, it would be Gator Bowl time.
  • I sounded like the audio feed was coming from an ABC News mike in Iraq. All I heard was some ass screaming "Lalalalalalala!" WTF?! At least there were no car bombs afterward.
  • Walker was awesome! He must be feeling much better. They should have gone to him sooner (at least Charlie did make an adjustment which is more than previous coaches). And that direct snap to him was a thing of beauty!
  • I can't forget about the Shark! 200+ yds.!!!! Now ND has a 3,000 yard QB, two 1,000 yard receivers, and a 1,000 yard RB!! WOW!!!!
  • It was great to see Quinn shrug off the bad 1st half and have a near perfect 2nd half.
I can't wait till the bowl game! Bring on the Buckeyes!!!

Yea! Hoosier Hysteria is Starting

The Hoosiers begin the season with an exhibition game against St. Joseph's (Ind.) tonight. Unfortunately it will not be televised. When Knight was at IU exhibition games were on TV.

You can hear it on the radio or check out game tracker on the net.

Went to ND B-ball Exhibition Game Last Night

They played Lewis University and won 59-40 after leading at halftime 22-21. Hopefully, the Irish will iron out some of the wrinkles before the season starts. They looked pitiful in the 1st half.

Torin Francis needs to use his body more and be the big bruiser he should be. He is such a disappointment. I know IU was battling for him out of high school. I'm kinda glad they didn't get him. He is another George Leach. Yeah, they have size but they don't use it except to block shots.

Lewis would double down on the post (after ND figured out how to pass to the post) and ND did not recognize where the double was coming from. It was like watching two fair high school teams playing. If this game is any indication of how they will play, it will be a long season.

Zeller has a nice touch and Quinn (no not Brady) is solid and a menace on D. Just too many 3s and no set plays. It kinda looked like a pick-up game.

Catching up with ND news

Jason Whitlock needs to look in the mirror. He is a moron and a professional troller. That is all that needs to be said.

Wow! I guess that is it. Bye weeks are so boring. My prediction for the Tennessee game is 21-13, ND. The UT defense is good but not good enough to completely stop ND. And the Vols offense is shaky at best.

ND better win because if they do not, my Monday will be filled with Juli from work playing "Rocky Top" over and over.
