I have a friend that's deep into following the Rutgers football program, and he's gotten the vibe that Weis is a big supporter of RU. To the point that he'll be pushing kids to RU that won't/can't go to ND.

Better they go there than PSU.

"Woke up this morning..." as in, "feel 'round for my shoe" with the old Walking Blues?

As always, I'm diggin' the random references.

I think it's more mainstream than that - the Doors, right?

Although 50% of the time, blues songs start with that line every time.

I was at the banquet and blogged about it on Monday. The ND faithful turned out in huge numbers. The whole event was a major Jersey love-fest, but the NJ Division of Travel & Tourism may want to hire CW as a spokesperson after he retires from ND.

Did Jersey settle on a new state slogan yet? Last I heard, "Really, it's not a dump" was leading.

"New Jersey...the smell blows in from Pittsburg!"

Or

"New Jersey...faithfully stocking up on heterosexual mustaches and IROC-Zs since 1981!"

Just in case we're keeping score, that Anon was me. For some reason my name keeps getting wiped cleared from the posting form and I forget to fix it. They must be on to me.

"Woke up this morning...got myself an award"

I thought it was a play off Got Yourself a Gun by Nas. Made me play that one anyway.

New Jersey guys stick together except in the case of Sam Alito, where both NJ Senators voted against a well qualified NJ guy

My roommate always insisted that the motto was "New Jersey: God's Country", but I'm pretty sure it's "Jersey Girls Aren't Trash. Trash Gets Picked Up."
