“We love baseball because it’s about manhood.” Oh yeah, baby. We do. (Especially where it pertains to Mike Piazza.)
Bizarro
Good Lord… Our special teams are ranked in the nation’s top 10? The Bizarro Universe strikes again.
ND Football
Hooray! ND beat West Virginia 42-28. This LoVecchio kid sounds like he’s just getting better and better. As Bob put it, “When you say he’s not a freshman anymore, that’s a good thing.” Hey, remember, like, five years back when Jim Sanson made a few big kicks and suddenly every girl on campus was stalking him? Can anybody on campus verify if this is happening. Because if I were there (and he’s cute at all), I definitely would. 🙂
Clemens sucks
Roger Clemens is a big fat ass. When he walks down the street, people say, “God damn! That’s a big fat ass!” And if he tries anything with my Mikey again, I’ll deal with him personally. (Sorry for the obscure South Park reference. But the man is a fat bastard.)
Ask Yahoo
Where did “Win one for the Gipper!” come from? Ask Yahoo! finds out.
Raid aftermath
Finnigan’s Raid: The Aftermath. Apparently 147 people got busted, including Troy Murphy and several other prominent athletes (!). The cops say that they were acting on numerous anonymous complaints as well as one “non-anonymous complaint from Notre Dame.” I don’t understand how 147 underage kids got cited… but only 6 got ticketed for false identification. How the hell did the rest of ’em get in there? *grin* The Trib’s got all the gory details.
ND and Rape
Another good story from the Trib: Behind Closed Doors: Sexual Assault on Campus. Lots about ND and the campus rape policies.
Football
Awww, the South Bend Tribune has a cute article about a West Virginia football player and his feelings about playing Notre Dame. My favorite quote: “[Notre Dame is] always on television. As a young kid, you wonder if those things you’re watching on television really exist. Everything at Notre Dame, the stadium, Touchdown Jesus, the Grotto. It’s like Los Angeles. I’ve never been there.” He actually compared South Bend to LA… Isn’t that adorable?!
The Pope
You knew it was coming. The Pope may resign.
SCABLY
I think “Elizabeth Scably, U Make Me Hurl!” is the best sign I’ve ever seen in my life. Maybe now she’ll think twice before crossing picket lines.
