Anyone else notice that the acronym for the Blind Oracle of Bristol is B.O.o.B.?

Hahaha, get it?

This is why I can't have nice things.

How much to you want to bet that May 1) will actually say that BYE will beat Notre Dame this week and 2) think that he was clever to say so?

Brian,

To be honest, at first I found the posts involving the Blind Oracle of Bristol to be incredibly annoying. I'm not gonna lie.

But they have completely grown on me, subtly, and with this post I have to say that I actually love this shit now.

Kudos.

Brian's posts are sort of like watching 'The Wire.' It takes a couple of episodes to get into it, but after that, you're standing in line to get the box set on DVD.

Jay, you're gonna make David Simon have a stroke if you keep comparing my stuff to "The Wire".

Brad,

It's like an ad jingle that's annoying at first, but eventually gets stuck in your head.

Coooo-STAN-za.

Hey, I live in Dallas and sure remember when Jimmy Johnson and Jerry Jones came to town. By comparison, we made ND look like a great team. A few years later and some talent ( E. Smith and Troy A) and we won the Super Bowl.

In an article on the Nebraska unraveling situation it noted that 9, count 'em nine players had transfered and two were academically ineligible. The A.D. was fired and the coach is on the way out.

We look pretty solid.

Homeless leftover comments at week-end:

Navy will be a big test for Corwin's defense with that cwazy offensive scheme. Hopefully we'll look back at this bye week as an 'inflection point.' Hear me Yahweh!

I love the Minnesotans.

I feel some Husky Schadenfreude coming on this weekend. I really don't know how to explain it.

One more donut on the filing cabinet at 4:15.

here is a great article about one of my heroes.

Now let's go deoch agat.

Jay,

I couldn't agree more. The Wire and Brian's post are addicting.

As Clay Davis Would say. "SHeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit"

Unfortunately, this idiot has been pretty accurate in his predictions.
How good of an offensive line does ‘Bye’ have compared to ours?
I guess more importantly, how good is ‘Bye’s’ defensive line and pass rush?
Do they blitz?
How many fifth year seniors on the ‘Bye’ Team?
Is this a rebuilding year for the ‘Bye; Team?
Sigh.

No, No you don't.....I like how the writers hyped up Floyd commitment as if he snubbed Osu when the fact of the matter is that Osu has amassed a crazy wr corp for this year, probably the best in the country and he was on the outside looking in with another wr prospect projected to commit from the same feeder school (glenville) as ted gin and co. Homer Public Relations at its finest folks..Play like a champion today..........

"Osu has amassed a crazy wr corp for this year"

Where exactly is this "crazy wr crop" you speak of? You guys have Posey, who is w/o question a top notch WR, and who? tOSU folks keep acting like Stoneburner is a WR when he has always been a TE and may still be in college. Who else do you have committed at WR to make up this "crazy wr corp"?

Doesn't OSU play PSU tomorrow or something? Yet zippybuck still has time to troll ND blogs, when ND is clearly an irrelevant 1-7 team this year? It's starting to become comical.

About time tOSU played a team that resembled a quality opponent. Enough of the Kent States, Youngstowns and Akrons!! Play a real team buckeyes!!
Knoxville Irish | Email | Homepage | 10.27.07 - 9:45 am | #

Its okay guys. I'm just drooling at the oppurtunity for tOSU to go out and FINALLY play a team of any talent. And since there is none in the Big 10 I'm waiting for any SEC team to completely humiliate them (again) in the BCS.

Changing the topic a bit, I really hope that the quality of recruits that ND is getting will result in some fun-to-watch, competitive teams in the next few years.
But I have to admit that reading this site's comment boards, you do get the impression that a lot of Irish fans are taking that as a cold lock certainty.
You know, the team still has to be molded, and the games still have to be played.

Can anyone tell me whether this whole rating system of recruits existed back in the '70's, and if so, what was Joe Montana's ranking.

I've only read anecdotal kind of stuff about him as a high schooler, but my impression is that while he was regarded as a special kind of catalyst at QB, his small size was seen even back then as too much of a barrier for him to overcome.

Could the next Joe Montana be similarly overlooked as a high school junior, or has the game changed so much that he wouldn't even be given a shot today?

I would find this funnier if Notre Dame didn't continually fulfill his prophesies.

That there are Christmas trees in the background of the stock picture is funny, though.

Could someone just go to NY and shut Mary May up?
Oh wait a long winning streak would do it, especially with a couple of Pitt ass kickings included.

What was the final score versus BYE? I heard our "d" cashed in a late fumble (we missed the xtra-pt) but wasn't sure if we won, tied or weised.
