Weasel Football

Weasel Football Update: A whole story on the PW-OC game. (It was written before the game.) Again, the Weasel coaches are cracking my shit up. This week’s quote: “Our defense has been phenomenal all year, reminiscent of the Minnesota Vikings’ ‘Purple People Eaters’ of the 1970’s. We’re working on fine tuning the offense for the playoffs,” [Coach Tony Baldea] said.

Ugh.

Now that I’ve got the enthusiasm out of my system… This article talks about why ND still sucks. We’ve got the 106th ranked offense, people, out of only 114 teams. Perhaps that explains why we’re not ranked on the ESPN poll, even though we are on the AP one.

Weasel Football

Weasel Football Update: The girls managed a 0-0 tie against BP this week to improve their record to 2-0-2 (I think). The defense remained impressive with multiple sacks and interceptions, but the offense just seemed to stall at crucial times. They’re looking into adding some new plays to shake things up. The Weasels are almost certainly guaranteed a playoff berth now, but they’ve still got one crucial game to go: the Off-Campus Crime this weekend. So, HEY, you Benedict Weasels playing on the OC team… (and YES, Erin Place, I’m looking at you). Just REMEMBER where your true loyalties are, okay? Now I’m not saying you should throw the game or anything. Just think about who you’re lining up against, okay? We all bleed purple underneath. Once a Weasel, always a Weasel… Know what I’m sayin’? 🙂

Freshmen.

ND is starting Matt LoVecchio, a true freshman, at quarterback versus Stanford this weekend. He sounds good, but I don’t see what all ESPN’s stats about previous freshmen starters have to do with anything. So what if the last three have won their first games – the last one was in ’87, and a helluva lot of things have happened since ’87.
