ND is looking into using a wacky new Finals Week schedule for next year. Personally I always liked the 4 day break… There was plenty of time to go skydiving, bar hopping, and road tripping. 🙂
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.
Follow the money.
So that stupid Generations campaign thing raises over $1 BILLION for the University… and Monk says we’re still gonna have budget problems in the next few years? Where the hell does all that cash go?!
Bored now.
It’s official. There’s nothing interesting in the Observer today.
Congrats, Kel.
Kelly McMahon’s Double Life: It seems that our very own little Napoleon has been holding out on us… Kelly won the Lottery! It sounds like she and her husband Dave (Whoa! Where did that come from?) will be putting that $19 million to good use. *grin*
Interesting
A girl is suing Duke University because she claims she was cut from the varsity football team (she was a placekicker) because of her gender. Interesting.
One song, Glory
WHAT? RENT is coming to South Bend?? Good Lord… I remember when Lizzie almost drove me nuts playing “Glory” over and over sophomore year. Of course, that was before I saw it five times in four different theaters (in two countries).
Shirtgate
Sorry to flog an almost-dead horse, but more on T-Shirtgate: the Observer agrees with the SMC Board of Governance’s actions.
Weasel Football
Weasel Football News: We’re still 2-0-1 heading into a crucial game against Walsh. And who are these coaches? They’re cracking me up. “I like to compare our defense to that of the ’85 Bears,” PW coach Tony Baldea said. “Kelly Dries reads the offense like Mike Singletary and pulls flags like Otis Wilson.”
Schadenfreude.
PE is 1-2! PE is 1-2! The hated Pyros have a losing record! I know it sounds bitter, but some of us waited a long time to see this.
