Notre Dame and Navy are gonna throw down bareknuckle style in Dublin in 2012. We love the sporadically scheduled Notre Dame/Navy game in Dublin, Ireland for a number of reasons:
1. The “back to the motherland” theme could spur future spin-offs such as Hawaii/Cal in Hong Kong, NYU/Brandeis in Jerusalem, and Utah/BYU in Nairobi.
2. Crazed Irish fans crossing the Atlantic will delight locals by drunkely wandering the street of Dublin during business hours and telling everyone in earshot, “Hey, it’s cool, I’m Irish!” while peeing in alleys and wearing shirts with leprechauns on them.
3. Game will provide convenient cover for President Schwarzanegger’s plan to “make Ireland safe for freedom.” Navy SEALs dressed as band members take over seat of power during halftime. Rebellion lasts until 5:30 p.m., at which point everyone ducks into the nearest pub for a pint, a wee one, and a good long cry.
4. Navy fans will exact revenge for their lopsided loss to Notre Dame by planting birth control pills and floss in the baggage of Notre Dame fans, items that will get them detained and beaten by customs officials at Dublin International Airport.
5. Weis will etch his name in the annals of Irish history by becoming only the second person to finish an entire Irish breakfast without foundering and expiring in horrific fashion shortly thereafter. By doing this and drinking an eight gallon tankard of black pudding on top of the meal, Weis will join the only other person to complete the nearly impossible feat, pop singer Pink.
Black pudding fan Pink has her place in Irish history.
6. Abundant alcohol…overlapping female Catholic populations between the ages of 18 and 23…a corps of fit, muscular, sexually frustrated servicemen…the temporary amnesia associated with being a great distance from home…it all adds up to a spectacular “Girls Night Out” for the assembled ladies of Dublin, and a collective nightmare for their boyfriends worldwide.
Don’t ask her about Dublin, ND fans, and she won’t ask you about that week in Bangkok. And to all the servicemen who read this blog–all three of you–thank you. Here’s hoping you get all the ass you want–Happy Veterans’ Day.
One of the funniest internet monikers around belongs to The Cool Chicken, who made a quick instaconversion from the leagues of Spurrier-hating SEC fans to initiate in the cult of the Ol’ Ball Coach when Spurrier was announced as the new head man at South Carolina. Mr. Chicken joins us today for a quick convo about the game, mustard-based BBQ sauce, and why “You Can’t Lick Our Cocks!” is NOT the best pun on the school’s nickname he’s ever heard.
OS: Tell us why you stand a chance in the game against Florida on Saturday…without using He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named’s name.
CC: Momentum, attitude and talent. This year has been unlike any other in Gamecock history. Not necessarily in terms of wins and losses but in terms of character. Carolina teams of the past were ready to quit when the ball bounced the wrong way. With the exception of the Auburn and Bama game, I have watched the Gamecocks play with a ton of heart and passion. I have noticed a swagger that has been missing for sometime. They think they can win in any given situation. Vandy scores on us with little time left… the team takes the field with a “Nice shot… now try and stop us!” attitude and drives down the field to score the winning touchdown. It is nice to see that and I think it is magnified by the teams underrated talent. Do not let the naysayers fool you there is plenty of talent on this team. It is jus 1.)

OS: Tell us the offensive player who scares you the most on the Florida side.
CC: Easy question to answer… Leak. Leak is one hell of a QB who can turn it on at almost any time and when he does… there is almost no stopping him. He is an amazing talent to watch.
OS: Tell us the defensive player who scares you the most on the Florida side.
CC: Well, it was Brown but he went down. So, I am going to go with a guy that I think deserves way more credit than he gets: Reggie Nelson. He plays and hits hard. He also has a knack for the ball. I think Webb is also underrated because of the attention Brown got.
OS: What’s your favorite t-shirt/sign/etc. you’ve seen using the Cocks name in a bad pun?
CC: I saw one recently addressed to Peta (who is giving Carolina a hard time about our mascot) that said “Hey Peta… get off our cocks.” There is the classic “You can’t lick our cocks.” But my favorite is “Carolina Girls love Cocks.”

Despite being on the west coast, the Fresno State Bulldogs apparently don’t read College Football Resource or the Heisman Pundit. Had they only known about the offensive revolution that Boise State was bringing with them, they surely would not have beaten them last night. Boise’s membership in the “Gang of Six” alone would have intimidated Fresno into the ground. Instead, Fresno jumped on Boise early and stifled them with defense down the stretch. Considering they play USC next week, it is a really good thing they don’t read those guys or they’d lose by 70 instead of 50 next week.
Pat Hill had his team ready for the Gang of Six member.
