    Notre simply weren’t worthy of being ranked #1 . And at season’s end I wouldn’t even have them ranked inside my final top ten , much less expect to see them ranked inside the BCS top ten . Way too much style over substance with regard to the BCS and that system is becoming archaic .

      It’s like I’ve said before, winning the SEC Championship game is harder than winning the National Championship game. That’s why the SEC has dominated. The emotional roller coaster, the back and forth struggle of having to outlast Georgia turned Alabama into a blunt instrument. Sure, Notre Dame went unbeaten, and I’m sure it wasn;t easy for them. But they experienced nothing like Alabama did mentally and physically, in having to dig down deep just to make it to that game. Once Alabama beat Georgia, it was all down hill from there.

    Erectile dysfunction and Notre Dame go hand in hand (pardon the pun) as that team is soft , even if their “powder puff ” schedule indicates otherwise . Scheduling the Little Sister of the Poor and Merciless , and the University of I’m Your B$tch , Slap Me , in order to pad the stats and for RPI doesn’t do the program any justice , or give it any credence .

    Lou ” I’ve Got a Mouthful of Saliva” Holtz didn’t feel too well , late Monday night . as an of flatulence caused him to have a cerebral aneurysm .
