Grrrr. Remember I told you about the female kicker who is suing North Carolina because she claims she was cut from the football team for being female? Predictably, N.C. is claiming that they cut her because she just wasn’t good enough. Which I could understand… except for the fact that she testified that her coach “told her she should give up kicking footballs and perhaps give beauty pageants a try.”

Wow! I didn’t know that Norm from “Cheers” went to Notre Dame! And apparently he lived in Pangborn!

I always thought Charles Rice was a bit of bully and an asshole. Another student agrees with me.

Wow. Perhaps of interest to some: “Catholic Church reaches deal with accusers in abuse case.”

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.)

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

Oh, wasn’t it a glorious weekend in sports? Mets win, Braves lose, and ND’s back in the top 25. Hooray!
