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.

A nice story about Lou Holtz and the turnaround he’s made with South Carolina.

Who do you think this quote is from? “You see, when you wake up cold and alone, with glitter on your face, and your hands are shaking and your mind’s gone loose, and it’s all you can do to get down a thimbleful of juice, you close your eyes and remind yourself who you’re in this for — who makes it all worthwhile… the children.” Give up? Theodore from Alvin and the Chipmunks. Heehee!

Charlton Heston went to some university to talk about the NRA and half the students wore black to protest. That’s the sort of statement I’d like to see the Notre Dame student body make one day.

The best part of this interview with ND linebacker Anthony Denman is his line: “We’re giving up how many yards a game? Wow, that’s a lot.”

Papa gets to keep its slogan. Now if they could just do something about the stank it leaves in your dorm room. 🙂
