Lots of stuff about Notre Dame on ESPN: Bob says that he knows his job is on the line, a recap of the win over BC, a mention of us possibly going to the Sugar or Fiesta Bowls, and a whole bunch of rankings (BCS, ESPN/USA Today, and AP).

Awww, here’s a nice story about the walk-on holder who pitched to the kicker on that fake field goal that turned into a touchdown on Saturday. Nice going, Tibble.

That damn Grubb’s team won.

Inspired by the Finnigan’s raid, the Observer asks alumni about their wild and crazy Notre Dame memories.

For those of you who are (and you know who you are), the Observer writes a glowing report on Jen Grubb and the Welsh football team. Gag me. Please. For God’s sake, she took a semester off school to train with the Women’s World Cup soccer team! Granted, it was a different sport… but they’re not that different. Why should amateur athletes have to compete with world-class talent in an interhall tournament?

Remember when Father Garrick resigned over the University’s failure to add sexual orientation to the non-discrimination clause? He wrote to the Observer to give everybody an update on his life. It’s actually really sad; he moved out to L.A. but wasn’t able to find another university job. He resigned from the Congregation of Holy Cross because they wouldn’t offer him an assignment unless he refrained from identifying himself as gay and working for gay civil rights. He now can no longer work with Catholics in regular Catholic settings, because in the Church a priest has no official standing unless he is connected with a religious order or a diocesan bishop. To make ends meet, he worked as a security guard at The Tonight Show for four months. Rev. Garrick is happy to announce, though, that he has a new play opening in California. CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS? It makes me so angry I could spit. This good man was just trying to help people and stand up for his convictions and as a result his life has been ruined for two years. How can anybody justify this? I try to keep an open mind about Catholicism (especially with regards to this issue), but this… ARRRRGH. I can’t talk about it anymore.

Here’s a really good argument for coed dorms at ND. My only problem with it has to do with the author, because I find the fact that he once hooked up with a student R.A. (who then lost her job and had to move from her dorm into PW her senior year) somewhat lessens the impact of his statements about gender relations. But maybe that’s just me.

Hello?! Some damn Domer girl flew home to New Jersey to vote last week. And we’re supposed to applaud her for her civic duty? Has she ever heard of an ABSENTEE BALLOT? I’m not going to congratulate somebody on wasting money when a perfectly good alternate solution was available.

WOOHOO! THE REUNION WAS A SMASHING SUCCESS! Sorry for the lack of updates recently; I’m still recovering. I should have some stuff for you today though!

A fun story on restaurant theft. Hey, Kel… Remember when you and Diane stole the Darth Vader cut out from Taco Bell? 🙂
