nedu had a 44 yard INT return in the Bengals' win over the Browns yesterday... and did DW end up getting the start for the Texans? Well done, lettermen.

That's good....that has bothered me for quite some time. I'm glad I was not the only one that noticed that.

Merry Xmas

That one beats the crap out of the game referenced in "Air Force One," in which we allegedly lost to Michigan.

When I saw that in the theater, I stood up and booed at that scene.

Or Father Mulcahy's comment on MASH when told that the game being listened to is Army-Navy, and not Notre Dame ,asks:

" What's all the excitement about?"

Which pretty much summarizes College Football 2008.

Who is the DE that CB is pursuing in Detroit that made 36 sacks this year?

GB,

Nick Perry had 36 sacks, but we have no shot at him.

I prefer Homer Simpson's quote:

"...has been a constant disappointment recently, kinda like Notre Dame football."


Ouch. But accurate.

You're thinking of this (from the episode written by Ricky Gervais):

Wife of Gervais's character: ____ hasn't satisfied me in years!

Homer: Yeah, I feel the same way about Notre Dame football.

indy - Ndukwe had two interceptions against the Browns I believe. However, on both Brows touchdowns, the hit wide open receivers in the rear-middle of the end zone. I didn't see if Ndukwe was to blame, but I wouldn't be surprised.

One participant went for over one hundred yards and had a hard touchdown. A FBI agent, who looked a lot like Pete Caroll's brother, was heard to remark "Oh, I hope that wasn't one of ours".

Even more puzzling than the late season ND game...

Hans Gruber: Who are you then?

John McClane: Just a fly in the ointment, Hans. The monkey in the wrench. The pain in the ass.


The monkey in the wrench? What?

Doug, thanks for the wonderful holiday wishes on the previous thread. I look to you, BGS and the rest of my fellow bloggers to keep me(in)sane until the beginning of next season. We're off to Chicago where my ND beanie will get a lot of use. At least I can suffer through New Year's bowl games surrounded by family and good beer.

Peace.

Anyone heard anything about Omar Hunter?
Diesel987 | Email | Homepage | 12.27.07 - 9:27 am | #

Omar was last seen scrunching up his toes without his shoes on after a long flight back to Georgia...
ND Fan | Email | Homepage | 12.27.07 - 11:14 am | #

According to Omar's MySpace profile as of yesterday he was all ND. This is a cooling off period so there is supposed to be no contact.

Coaches can still make phone calls, just no visits. I'm guessing he's been hearing from Corwin and Chaz quite a bit...
Brian | Email | Homepage | 12.27.07 - 6:00 pm | #

It's been reported that Omar's roomate at the ESPN Bowl is Braxton Cave. That can' be a bad thing. This poor kid is being hounded and has yet to de-commit or even schedule a visit anywhere. His HS Coach has done too much talking and not enough counseling. I was told a month ago that the coach prefers Florida over ND for his protoge.

Typically it's good form to attribute ideas. The same observation came up on hornfans.com on 12/16: http://forums.hornfans.com/php/w...e=&view=&sb=& o=
Coincidence?

Yeah, I stole this from Hornsfans...good lord. This has been a much-referenced movie quote among ND fans since the movie came out 19 years ago. But no, I stole it from a Texas board.
