…if USC has rediscovered its mojo, or if Cal is just this bad. 20-0 at halftime. Fight On! Beat the Bears! And then… well… I won’t say anything about what comes next, yet. P.S. Way to go, Irish! (Because, for the next 60 to 90 minutes or so, I’m still a Notre Dame fan.) P.P.S. Hahahahaha, UCLA lost! We’re two… Read more »
From the “blatantly and unwisely looking ahead” files… after tomorrow’s games against Cal and Washington, respectively, USC and Notre Dame both have bye weeks before their October 17 clash in South Bend. This got me thinking: if the Trojans and Irish both win tomorrow, could ND earn a spot in the Top 25 in time to turn their rivalry game… Read more »

Irish win!” Stewart Mandel expands on this thought: If Notre Dame, now 3-1, winds up reaching the BCS promised land, affording Charlie Weis many more years of his… Read more »
