Ah how I love upsets and there were plenty for this week.
Well the Fulmer death clock continues to tick…as always be expecting a full game grade tomorrow after I watch a tape of the game today.
Don’t look now but UCONN is 5-0, you should expect them to be ranked.
Michigan State is a contender for now…but for some reason they always implode mid season.
Speaking of imploding, Syracuse actually led Pittsburgh but ultimately lost. There’s internet chatter about Lloyd Carr becoming the next Orangemen coach.
Clemson…WTF? Oh, wait my mistake…the annual Tommy Bowden fail is occurring.
Northwestern is 5-0 and Iowa still sucks.
The miracle that occurred in the Miami-North Carolina game was amazing to watch.
Gee. Urban…is fourth down and one yard to go. You trail by one with time quickly ticking away. Why didn’t you try the 49 yard field goal? Was it arrogance? At least update the play book and run something other than a Tebow keeper. Great win for Ole Miss and the Rev. Nutt.
Fresno state continues to win and I love it.
I’m getting sick and damn tired of seeing that stupid Olive Garden commercial that they were over playing last year.
I hate F$U when I pick them to win, they let down. Win I pick to lose they win. Bastards!
Look out Notre Dame is 3-1 let’s place them in the Top 5 stat!
Rich “Dirty Sanchez” Rodriguez gets a huge…huge win against a top 10 Wisconsin team.
I hope you enjoyed your visit to the top 25 East Carolina because it is officially over.
Wow…Navy beats Wake Forest…just how bad does the ACC suck?
Oklahoma should have scored more points than they did.
South Carolina struggled against a UAB team that Tennessee blew out…interesting.
Wow Miss. State does have an offense after all, to bad they lost though.
Look for South Florida to enter the top 10 this week.
Welcome back Virginia Tech. however the first year Nebraska coach actually helped your cause by getting a 15 yard penalty for “debating” a call with the ref.
I hope Ty Willingham has called North American Moving by now.
What can I say about Alabama…other than they cheat, but they laid it on Georgia. Anyone else notice that Nick Saban is sporting the Behr Bryant alcoholism red nose?
Don’t look now but Duke is 3-1 and the Virginia coach is probably and should be suicidal at this point.
Joe Pa rules bitches but give the fighting Zookers credit for keeping it respectable.
So far this season is not like last season but so far so good nonetheless.
Tennessee sucks! Wait I already knew that…expect some more on this subject as the week progresses.
Georgia adds to the PAC 10 non conference woes by beating Arizona State with ease and Oregon did not help matters much by losing to Boise State. Basically everyone in the PAC 10 is playing for second place behind SoCal. Anyone see the awesome dive Moreno did to score the first TD? However he should have received a flag for celebration.
To see it live was awesome.
Missouri failed to impress against Buffalo.
Texas and Texas Tech. both flex some Big 12 muscle yesterday by trouncing their opponents.
And The Tide of Alabama continues to roll however credit 14 points of the 49 they scored to great defense.
South Florida fails to impress.
Not so fast Auburn fans and haters…they do have an offense after all but they lost nevertheless. Les “Big Hat Little Penis” Miles might be at least the 2nd best coach in the SEC. This was easily the best game of the week.
South Carolina gets by 1-AA Wofford…Spurrier can’t be happy right now.
Ohio State is the most over ranked in the top 25, Penn State is the team to beat in the Big Eleven Ten.
BYU is easily this years BCS buster…but let’s not forget about Utah.
East Carolina…fails…but Skip Holtz is still a hot commodity.
Florida State’s offense is simply lost and Wake Forest is the team to bear in the ACC.
Butch Davis better go back to the drawing board because North Carolina isn’t there yet.
Georgia Tech wrecked Miss State and Sly Croom.
Hell has frozen over because right now Vandy is sitting atop the SEC East.
Kansas let’s not forget about them.
Clemson got some frustration out by beating up on SC State.
Fresno State…is still ranked for a reason.
Hey Notre Dame still sucks imagine that.
Pittsburgh pick up your Big East flag & wave it proudly…just like last year Iowa sucks.
Look at Maryland 3-1 and might be ranked come later today.
Boston College could also be ranked as well.
Syracuse actually wins a game, of course it was against a 1-AA opponent but a win is a win.
Cincinnati is still looking like the team to beat in the Big East.
First off I have great news. Joel has more than survived his epic bout with Hurricane Ike. Joel suffered no damage however he does not power, but him and his family are safe & dry. He would like to thank all the people that were praying for him.
His next bout will be with the government over the fleecing of gas that has occurred with this hurricane. Did you know that oil prices actually dropped last Friday? Of course not because they spiked to a staggering amount. These refineries only produce 25% of this nation’s gas, and some of that is exported. Nevertheless gas should only go up by 25%, big government should step in but never will.
Ok I just had to get that off my chest. That will be one of few times you’ll see something political on this blog…unless I find some hot photos of Sarah Palin. Is so wrong to lust after a female running for vice president?
South Florida decided to show some Big East pride by beating Kansas. This was a great game. The Kansas QB is awesome. It would be foolish of teams in the NFL not to draft him. I don’t care how tall he is. Think how good Doug Flutie could have been. Trust me there are a lot of NFL teams kicking themselves for not drafting him because of his height.
The Kansas QB reminds me of Vince Young except not as tall, stronger, more accurate, and not suicidal and he isn’t whiner.
Hyped games like the Nuts verses the Contraceptives suck. The SoCal-Ohio State was b-o-r-i-n-g. Let’s face it. Right now SoCal is that good. I don’t care if Beanie Wells didn’t play. The score wouldn’t have changed that much.
Under hyped games rule!! Kansas-South Florida & Fresno State-Wisconsin were awesome games.
Georgia failed to impress. However some of you might remember back in August that I predicted that Garcia would make his debut in the Georgia game and I was right. Self ^5.
Oklahoma continues to impress as Ty Willingham might need to start packing his bags.
Missouri looks great!
LSU did what LSU was supposed to do and beat a nobody team convincingly.
Does Auburn have an offense or is the defense of Miss. State that good?
The Tide continues to roll and they will be rolling next week as they play the worst SEC team in Arkansas. And even though the Texas-Arkansas was postponed, Texas would have crushed them.
East Carolina pulls out a squeaker and the R-E-S-P-E-C-T factor is falling with them as it is with Georgia Tech as well.
People better watch out for Ole Miss and Nebraska.
Everyone point and laugh at the PAC 10 this week. Sure USC rolled and Oregon pulled out a miracle but Arizona State lost to UNLV, UCLA got ass raped by the Mormons of BYU, Cal lost to Maryland….that right there deserves a LOL.
The ACC isn’t fairing any better as well with Virginia losing to UCONN big. Remember UCONN struggled against Temple last week.
Cutcliff is winning at Duke though. Way to go Coach!
Oh La La almost pulled off another epic upset against Illinois yesterday.
Penn State looks impressive I mean very impressive.
Oklahoma State continues to roll and roll big.
OMG Kentucky is undefeated.
Utah continues to roll. How important will the Utah-BYU game this year?
The Notre Dame defense looks good then again it was against Michigan. However Charlie Weis is more man than Tom Brady by electing not to have surgery on his busted up leg. Get better Coach I hate to pick on gimps.
I have a post coming up about the Tennessee game.
Did anyone notice how Herbstreit finally admits Mark Sanchez will probably be a Heisman finalist after side stepping the question?
Finally has anyone noticed how eerily similar that USC QB Mark Sanchez resembles Richard Ramirez AKA the serial killer known as the Night Stalker? (Insert scary music here)
Sad times have crept into the Notre Dame Football program as of late. After only winning three games last season and looking less than impressive in their season opener against San Diego State, school officials are hoping to remind everyone of the glory days by unveiling a statue of Lou Holtz this Saturday to celebrate their last championship season that was some 20 years ago.
Is there a statue honoring the NCAA probation caused by Holtz going up behind the statue of Holtz as well?
“I think it’s as high an honor as I could ever receive,” Holtz said. “But it’s a tribute to the players, the administration, the athletic directors. One person doesn’t do that. That takes so many people. I’m humbled by it. The one thing I did feel, though, was we were going to put a group of people onto that field who genuinely cared about each other and about Notre Dame and understood the obligation you have when you play at Notre Dame”.
Holtz should receive an award every college football weekend. That way we don’t have to watch him on college football game day, where let’s be honest, Holtz is very bad.
The team went 12-0, opening the season with a 19-17 victory over No. 9 Michigan, edging top-ranked Miami 31-30, beating No. 2 USC 27-10, then clinching the title with a 34-21 win over No. 3 West Virginia in the Fiesta Bowl.
ND still stinks and in the South, there’s a young coach name “Holtz” who will be a hot commodity after this season. Hmmm….
Charlie Weis said he plans to have Holtz speak to his team this week before the Irish face Michigan.
“If you don’t involve Lou, you’d be dumb,” he said.
“I can’t tell you how many times I talked to Ara and Lou about different subjects and get their opinion on how would you do this and what were you thoughts on that,” Weis said.
I can’t wait to see the Charlie Weiss statue. It will be huge, I mean monstrous. He’ll be holding a cheeseburger in one hand and a sub sandwich in the other. Then again if they build a statue of Weis it would scare kids into stop eating happy meals.
Holtz said he can’t believe he’s joining such legendary Notre Dame figures.
“There have been coaches that have done much better at Notre Dame but there’s never been anyone who loved coaching there more than I did or believed in Notre Dame more than I did,” he said.
I have to know if it will have a button to push so you can hear his lispy speech and tired clichés.
I’ll admit though that the game in the ’88 season against Miami was one of the greatest college football games I’ve ever seen and I’m not even a fan of either of those teams.
At this point and time, Notre Dame needs heroes and the most convenient is Lou Holtz….but a statue at Notre Dame? Did they already erect Dan Devine’s, Rudy’s or Regis Philbin’s?
In other related Holtz news I heard he was going to be the new voice over for Sylvester the cat. Suffering Succotash!
First off everyone stop for a moment and point and laugh at the Big Least. The years of fooling the college football world with smoke and mirrors and weak scheduling are over.
WVU falls to East Carolina and it was never even close. Somewhere Rich Rodriguez is laughing because he never lost to East Carolina.
How hot is the name “Skip Holtz” right now? I’ve been to various teams message boards since yesterday and a lot teams whose coaches are in the hot seat want him. For example:…………………………………………………………………………………………………..
………………………………………………………………………..
South Carolina
Clemson
Tennessee
Syracuse
Arkansas
Louisville
Washington
Pittsburgh
Notre Dame
Speaking of Syracuse how is it pathetic to lose to Akron. Other Big Least fail boats are Uconn & Pittsburgh. Sure Uconn won yesterday but it took an overtime to beat Temple. Are you kidding me? And Pitt struggled with Buffalo.
The best team in the Big Least is Cincinnati. Sure they lost yesterday but it’s difficult to go to Oklahoma and win.
Oh yeah you can continue pointing and laughing at the ACC. Way to go Maryland.
Ohio State should drop in the polls due to their dismal performance against Ohio.
Miami will be scary good by the middle of this season. And what a rank amateur move it was on Urban Meyer’s part to kick that last field goal. He could have let Miami have the ball on the 10 yard line. That was disgraceful.
Something else that is disgraceful is the PAC 10 refs. What an idiotic call yesterday involving Washington and BYU.
Arkansas better step it up or they will not win a conference game all year.
Notre Dame Football still sucks. If San Diego St. didn’t make some stupid mistakes they would have won that game.
Under the raider teams
Nebraska
Mississippi (I always knew Coach 0 could recruit now they have a coach.)

Even the water girls of Ole Miss are hotties much like their cheerleaders.
The Miami cheerleaders are hot in a soft-core porn sort of way
"Hey, who ordered the Queer Eye makeover?" (chugs two beers) "We're the Party Brigade. We're here to play some drinking games."
The golden child of Notre Dame might be some trouble yet again. Jimmy Clausen the younger brother of 1 ½ (Rick gets the ½) Tennessee QB Gods Casey and Rick, has already had one brush with the law you know for that little “bootlegging” charge last year.
Well, for the second time in a year, Notre Dame Quarterback Jimmy Clausen may have to explain his alleged participation in a situation involving alcohol & at least two other teammates might be doing some explaining with him.
See that lovely picture? Why that’s the golden boy participating in something called the ‘Beer Olympics’ or Jimmy is joining the Bloods one or the other.
Notre Dame stated they will investigate possible school code violations after these photos all over the frigging place. They appear to depict Clausen, teammates Brian Smith and James Aldridge and one other individual getting their drink on.
Going 3-9 will drive a person to drinking that I have to believe.
I imagine every drinking party in Notre Dame somehow ends in a “Rudy!” chant.
Don’t Worry Irish fans Notre Dame is already developing a cover story even though there is beer on the table in front of the players, the photos do not show the players actively consuming alcohol.
Nevertheless at least two of the players would not be of legal drinking age: Clausen, who does not turn 21 until Sept. 21, and Smith, who does not reach 21 until 2010. Aldridge turned 21 on July 6.
“The office of Residence Life will investigate possible violations of university policies when it is made aware of them, such as in this case,” Notre Dame school spokesman Dennis Brown said Monday.
“I used bad judgment in being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and I’ve learned from my mistake,” Clausen said during his first media appearance after the citation in August 2007.
Well he still hasn’t learned any fashion sense either. Remember when he arrived in a limo at the College Football Hall of Fame, hair immaculately spiked and product-filled, sunglasses on & Bling blinged-up?
He almost made Brady Quinn look straight.
My problem wasn’t that he was drinking but trying to imitate the Ultimate Warrior while wearing a fake satin baseball jacket is pathetic. Since when are fake satin jackets from the 1980’s making a comeback?
MAYBE he can drink, but does he have Tebow’s miraculous healing powers? I think not.
Jimmy Clausen should pause before every decision he needs to make and think “What would Tim Tebow do?” He should then circumcise something.
Has anyone ever set himself up for failure more than Jimmy Clausen? At the HOF press conference, Jimmy flashed his HS championship rings and announced (Paraphrasing) that “he would win another four at Notre Dame.” I’m sure Beano Cook nutted in his bag of Werthers Original, but I couldn’t believe anyone could be that stupid.
Time for the Guardian Angels defense. Matt Leinart sees nothing wrong with this, except the fruity wardrobe.
Lou Holtz was once considered a great coach by some until he left Notre Dame and hung around until landing the South Carolina job. Even though fans of South Carolina claim to hate Lou Holtz, his first three years were a greater success than God Spurrier’s.
From South Carolina he went to ESPN where his lisp as gotten more annoying, his homerism for South Carolina is so bad people believe dementia has set in and the paper towel bill for ESPN studios has increased greatly due to the flood of spit his lisp creates when he does those lame-ass pep talks. Not to mention the fact he as the audacity to sign his autograph as Granny from the “Beverley Hillbillies“.
On July 8th former Nebraska and NFL football star turned junkie turned author Jason Peter, saves some of the strongest profanity-laced and sweet as hell vitriol in his new book “Hero of the Underground,” for Holtz.
“I still wouldn’t turn down the opportunity to spit in Lou Holtz’s (bleeping) face,” Peter writes in the book. “Each Saturday in the fall when Holtz makes his jovial, dumb … remarks on ESPN, I hope he knows that there’s at least one family on the other side of the screen, the Peter family, that knows what a — – — he really is.
My fingers start to tense up and I get that feeling through my body, even after all these years have passed, when I see him on TV. When I hear people talking about him, something goes off in my head. I carry so much anger over that and I don’t know what it would take or if there’s anything that can be done to make it OK.”
I can agree with the jovial and dumb remarks Peter is talking about. But the Morse Code part of his comment is rather confusing. And such anger is shocking
Jason Peter is a former junkie that was addicted pain killers, cocaine, crack and heroin. So he is on the 11 step plan. Step 11 write a book and cash in on the fact you were junkie.
Holtz apparently has a lot of enemies after alleveryschool he has ever coached at has been put on NCAA probation after he has left.
However Peter’s problem with Holtz is what he feels was the unfair treatment of his younger brother Damian, at one time a highly touted Notre Dame recruit.
Damian Peter, a 6-foot-7, 300-plus pound offensive lineman from Middletown, N.J., was a member of Notre Dame’s 1994 recruiting class. That summer, however, Peter was seriously injured in a swimming pool accident, breaking the C5 vertebrae in his neck. For several days, doctors feared he might never walk again.
According to Jason Peter, Holtz did not call Damian or establish contact during the course of that summer.
Holtz could not be reached for comment on Thursday. An administrative assistant in his Florida office said he was attending a golf event in Nevada for the rest of the week, but would be unlikely anyway to choose to respond to Peter’s comments about him. Probably out of fear and the fact hardly anyone can understand him when he speaks. Or is that speakths? (Just try and imagine the Lou Lisp)
Peter also writes that when his brother began school at Notre Dame in the fall, he was “frozen out, ignored, discarded” by Holtz, his staff and his would-be teammates.
Ironically, Jason Peter co-hosts a radio show on the Lincoln, Neb., ESPN affiliate. Holtz is a studio analyst for the network during college football season.
Well, seeing how he works that closely to Holtz, I retract my statement about being angry. I would probably be that angry working with Holtz as well.
Kevin White, the man who fired more Notre Dame football coaches than anyone else, left for the “greener pastures” at Duke University on May 31. Since then, the school has been looking for the next guy to fire Charlie Weis athletic director. The school was recently turned down by ex-Irish football player Steve Orsini, currently the AD at SMU. Where does the school turn now, since the school was turned down by a man who played on the 1977 championship team and is currently at a school still feeling the sting of the NCAA “Death Penalty”???
Of course, I have an answer…
Right now, the school’s website does not have the AD’s job listed. They have a job posting for a parking lot attendant for game day (at $9.00/hr) and a Director of Gift Planning, who has the task of collecting fat checks from alums and “friends of the school”. They curiously do not have the AD’s position there. Why??? Did they run out of space??? Does the NBC contract not pay for internet???
My answer is tat bastion of both virtue and vice. User friendly and free, whether you want a lawn mower or a trashy dancer who works at the Nasty Tuna Club: Craigslist. I have posted the following in the jobs section of the Indianapolis site of Craigslist:
AD At ND???
How far has a school gone down the crapper that a proud alum has turned down the AD job??? Your current AD left for, of all places, Duke, because he won’t have boosters breathing down his neck as THEIR pick for a football coach racks up losses against USC and Navy. Oh, but Weis can’t win with Willingham’s recruits!!! Correction: Weis won with the “great” Brady Quinn, a Willingham recruit.
The reality is that Weis looked like a genius in the NFL because of Bill Bellichick and Tom Brady (a Michigan man). The reality is that as Jimmy “Beer Bong” Claussen and Evan “Scared To Play Behind Shaky O-Line” Sharpley continue to throw picks, and as Paul Hornung continues racist rants about “lowering academic standards” in order to “get the black athlete”, the program will slip into even more mediocrity as Fresno State, UConn, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech have all caught up to. USC is now light years ahead, but there is no shame in that. Ohio State can’t catch USC either, but OSU can’t catch a cold if it comes from the SEC…
*singing* 3 tears for old Notre Dame, can’t find an AD, that is a shame.
Everyone is being affected by the high gas prices in our country right now. Our company, like most businesses, is seeing transportation and manufacturing costs rise almost exponentially. The average American is spending more on gas than at any time in our country’s history. Sadly, this trend, according to some analysts, will continue through the end of the year. Currently, Obama and McCain have included plans to help alleviate the energy crisis, and from barbershops to flea markets, everyone has an answer…including me
Yes, even a pagan such as myself has an answer to the gas crunch…
I would not dare suggest that we start drilling on the hallowed grounds of Notre Dame Stadium. But the Fighting Irish, warming up here last year against Navy (which Navy won), is the solution.
According to the World Almanac, in 1973, the average price of a gallon of gas in the U.S. was 51 cents a gallon. Notre Dame won the national title that year. Every year after, the price of gas went up on average of 3 cents a gallon. In 1977, gas was up to 65 cents a gallon. Notre Dame won the national title again. Gas prices did not rise again until 1979. But in 1980, gas went up into the 1 dollar range (right before the Gerry Faust era). When Lou Holtz delivered the Fighting Irish another title in 1986, gas actually went down to 93 cents, down from 1.20. Consequentially, gas prices experienced huge jumps in 1999 (when they were placed on probation under Bob Davie) and also in 2004 (when Ty Willingham was fired).
To me it is simple: We should all root for Notre Dame to win the national title this year. Get them a national TV contract. Continue to have high hopes for them, even if it may seem misguided. Give them a schedule that should guarantee some success. Like the great Paul Hornung said, “Get the black athlete”. Above all, someone in the national media, hell, make it two people in the national media, should stomp for them.
Only then the terrorists won’t win…Touchdown Jesus will…
Since I’m suffering from writers block, lack of sleep and lack of football, I’ve got nothing today. So let’s have the very first YMSWWC caption contest using the photo below. No this isn’t a photoshop, this pic was taken when Charlie and the coaches were on their goodwill tour. Have fun and may the best caption win.
