In case you haven’t heard, the Administration is trying to take away the Observer’s “independent status.” Why? Because they cover issues (i.e. GLND/SMC) that the school disagrees with. Some people think this is bad. I find it so idiotically bad that I can’t even begin to describe it.

Poetic justice: PE gets thrashed 29-6. *snicker* Pyros SUCK.

WEASEL FOOTBALL REPORT: We are 1-0-1 so far this year! Check out this article in the Observer: “Purple Weasels take on Shamrocks in enemy territory”. Our team kicks so much ass. And a defensive linewoman broke her nose in the Farley game last week! Weasels are so tough. You make us proud girls!

ND Women’s Soccer is #1! Really, they are.

Kelly and I thought this story about the “new” beef jerky was hilarious. Sample quote from the Vice President of “Slim Jim” marketing: “I mean, think of it,” he says. “It’s this gross stick. When you bite into it, it snaps. It’s nasty. But that’s OK.”

Sorry for the spate of ESPN links, but I can’t find any other site with coverage as good. Next up: Lou’s new team cracks the Top 25!

So Joe Paterno enters the season six victories short of the record for most wins by a major college coach… and suddenly Penn State starts sucking big time. Yeah, it’s childish – but I’m finding a lot of enjoyment in watching someone else fall from grace for a while.

Some true freshman QB threw a winning 68-yard touchdown pass on 4th AND TEN? Dammit, ND loses to Michigan State again.

An Irish fan puts the smack down on asshole Lee Corso (but much politer than I would have). And actually Corso comes off sounding rather good in his answer. He even compliments Notre Dame! Who would’ve guessed?

Why do the Boy Scouts make such a big deal about gays when the Girl Scouts don’t? The boys rely on donations from the Mormon Church while the girls sell cookies. Makes me proud to be a Brownie.
