Boy, that brings back some memories, although at Joe Skagg's place they had to be stacked neatly back in the old days. Add to that a good helping of hash browns and you are off to the cholestrol heart attack sweepstakes. I made it through my teenage years on these!

Yeah, who ever would have thought the arrogant little shit in this:

...would end up like that. I love it. Congrats Jimmah, all that pomp and bullshit coming in and you'll end up leaving absolutely irrelevant in the lore of CFB history...just like nd's last future three time Heisman winner (minus the ass beatings to tOSU unfortunately).

That crybaby pic should provide an endless bounty of farks too. :lol:

Notre Dame: Why not hire Switzer?
In real life, Switzer had little chance of drawing Notre Dame’s interest. The Irish are not in the habit of hiring rogues. But he would always listen.
“Tell them to call me,” said Switzer, 72 years old and 12 years out of football. “Tell them I can beat Navy.”

Notre Dame fans: Yeah, yeah, yeah...Ohio State is an out in his contract but forget about it. If it comes to that, and we fire Weis, Urban Meyer will be here like a shot. Notre Dame remains the top place to coach and he wants to come here so bad he had it written into his contract. Urban is our boy.

Urban Meyer: "I'll stay at Florida as long as they will have me."

Woody Hayes: Out of every bad thing you get a good thing.

Journalism? Who writes this crap for AP?

The schedule: No. 2 Alabama took a break from its SEC schedule last weekend to beat up on Chattanooga. This after games earlier in the season against Florida International and North Texas. With those teams on the schedule, the Crimson Tide was essentially 3-0 before the season started.

It's not just Alabama, either. Almost all of the top programs pad their schedules with non-conference lightweights. No. 2 Texas feasted on Louisiana-Monroe and Central Florida. No. 9 Ohio State did play USC, but it also had non-con games against Toledo and New Mexico State.

Yes, Appalachian State stunned Michigan, but upsets like that are so rare they're remembered for decades.
"After Florida schedules Florida International, I have no use for them," former Irish great Joe Theismann said. "I find it insulting to have major college programs playing people they know they can beat by 60."


Now, the Irish aren't averse to playing a patsy or two. Until the last few years, Navy was about as big a gimme as you could get. But because of its historic rivalries and independence, and the fact opponents will always circle Notre Dame on their schedule, Notre Dame's schedule is always going to be rugged.


Granted, it has gotten softer in recent years. The Irish faced two ranked opponents each of the last two seasons, compared with five in Charlie Weis' first year. But USC, Michigan and Pitt aren't going anywhere anytime soon, and Oklahoma is due up in 2012.


"Last time I checked, Florida International wasn't on. Chattanooga wasn't there," Theismann said.

The teams play four common opponents, both losing by the same margin to USC but ND by a bigger margin. In the remaining games, Ohio State is 3-0, Notre Dame is 0-3.


Fair enough, checking the averaged power ratings across the computers, Ohio State played New Mexico State (#116) and Toledo (#97) but played three top 12 ranked teams, winning twice.



Notre Dame played Washington State (#108) and Washington (#64) and lost both games against ranked teams. And, they lost to TSUN. Even Appalachian State has avoided that problem in the not too distant past.

So, many of my dreams have come true this season. Notre Dame has had another miserable season, their QB will not win the Heisman, they lost to Navy, they will not be in the top 25, possibly not even the top 50 and Charile is about to get a sorely needed lesson in humility.

But part of the charm of Notre Dame hating was in having Charlie as the most visible part of their team. What if they get a coach I respect, I mean you could never really hate Ara. Unlike Lou, Jerry, Dan, Bob and Fat Charlie, who always talked as if ND wins were part of the divine right of kings scheme of things, Ara was humble, respectful and successful. I hope they don't pick someone like that and take the glow off of the joy of Notre Dame bashing.

Why folks get sooo upset at the Irish, Reason MCLVXII:

"... The Irish also have not decided whether to accept a bowl bid."

Who else could lose their last 4, including Navy and UConn, and still anticipate the pleasure of telling someone "No thanks, we're Notre Dame and if we don't get an offer from the right bowl we'll take our ball and go home."
