Speaking of IU, all the news stories about this weekend’s riots reminded me of that crazy night two years ago when the power went off at ND and the students all started burning couches out on the quad. On one hand I feel like IU is to be commended for actually having a reason to riot (unlike us)… but on the other hand, chants of “Boobies for Bobby!” and topless co-eds really, really disgust me.

My cousin’s a senior at Indiana University, and yesterday she moaned to me: “Never did I think that I would see Bob Knight leave IU during my four years here.” I reminded her that not long ago, Notre Dame students said goodbye to a beloved coach as well. (We miss you, Lou! Congrats on the victories!)

Ha ha! The current “4th and Inches” comic makes me feel a little better though.

Speaking of the greedy, no-good sucky bastards…

Lee Corso can bite my ass. And so can all the rest of the greedy bastards that sold their tickets to Husker fans.

Once again, the Irish beat Boston College. Unfortunately this isn’t football; it’s a ranking of U.S. universities that are least-friendly to homosexuals. Yep, we’re #1 folks. B.C. is #2. Ouch.

Interesting… This article doesn’t mention Notre Dame directly, but friends on campus tell me that their Napster access seems to have been finally cut off. The RIAA sucks.

Check out The Lycos 50 – Notre Dame is the second-most popular college football team (in terms of search engine queries). Who’s #1? Penn State. Too bad we have a better record than them. 🙂

Encyclopedias can be funny! I know not everybody likes football, but this Britannica.com article explaining Dennis Miller’s references really cracked me up. (Link courtesy of Fresh Hell.)

I miss that “Back to School” part of the year. The funny (and pathetic) part of this list from the Onion is that I remember fervently begging for (and then subsequently coveting) a shiny new Trapper Keeper every year of elementary school. And within three months I’d have drawn all over it and picked holes in the plastic.
