Heehee. The Purdue kicker has been getting booed by the students a lot (a botched punt led to our victory this year), so after he kicked the game-winning field goal against Michigan last week he flipped off the student section. Now he’s apologizing.

Some people frighten me. This guy says that Bush is going to win Indiana anyway, so Indiana Democrats should give their votes to Nader. And then another guy says that since Bush is going to win so easily, real Indiana pro-life conservatives should give their votes to Buchanan. I think the first argument is ridiculous… “You’re not going to win, so why even try?” And the second is just scary… “Gore can’t win, so why not vote for the right-wing hatemonger?” WHAT ARE THEY THINKING? (It’s interesting to note that neither of these letters in the Observer actually came from students.)

Weasel Football Report: This is officially the Bizarro season. PW loses to Off-Campus (but makes it into the Playoffs), the Weasels haven’t been able to score in 3 games, OC is ranked #1 in the Gold League going into the post-season, and the Pyros FAIL to qualify with a losing season of 2-4??

Everybody (including Bob) seems to think that ND’s record is only going to get better.

Apparently Monk invited Bush and Gore to visit campus! Dubya turned ’em down in favor of kissing babies in Pennsylvania, but Gore still might put in an appearance. That would kick ass.

This guy on ESPN is saying we could finish the season 9-2.

Holy cow! There’s a new kind o’ Peeps! They look like little gingerbread people. But hey! Whatever happened to Scary Cats? I SWEAR they used to make orange cats for Halloween. Eileen licked one sophomore year and stuck it to our dorm room door. It stayed there until we chipped it off six months later.

Now I liked RENT and all… but I don’t think I’d ever write a cheesy newspaper article equating Roger’s depression with my own career indecisions.

Interesting. The Women’s Resource Center clarifies its probation status. I like the subtle bit about censorship.

Weasel Football Update: A whole story on the PW-OC game. (It was written before the game.) Again, the Weasel coaches are cracking my shit up. This week’s quote: “Our defense has been phenomenal all year, reminiscent of the Minnesota Vikings’ ‘Purple People Eaters’ of the 1970’s. We’re working on fine tuning the offense for the playoffs,” [Coach Tony Baldea] said.
