BUSH FIRE CONTINUES

It’s days like these that I wish I enjoyed some form of omniprsence.

Too bad that plagiarist doesn’t have a mustache to commemorate Wednesday. This picture of Bush with a mustache will have to do instead.

I still don’t think this will stick to USC. But as someone said, Fresno State better look out.

I think the ultimate hat-tip on that joke goes to Tark, who once said of the NCAA, “they’re so pissed at Kentucky, they just gave Cleveland State three more years of probation.”

Your will be done, Stranko. She’s stached, courtesy of the power of Microsoft Paint.

Excellent

I’m liking the concept of “stank points.” But I would think anything, no matter how scandalous, involving a person whose Christian name is “MIchael C. Michaels” would automatically have to earn some stank points.

bush really should have a mustache. if anything, the twitching of said mustache would maybe provide a tell when he is lying his ass off. “A girl got a pet goat. She liked to go running with her pet goat. She played with her goat in her house. She played with her goat in her yard. But the goat did some things that made the girl’s dad mad. The goat ate things. He ate cans and he ate canes. He ate pans and he ate panes. He even ate capes and caps,” indeed, Mr. Bush.

I’m lovin it.

Howevuh…gotta nit to point out. All the LW ref’s are from 2(?), the pic is from the start of LW4. Ok, I’ll go back to my hole and shut up.

Keep up the good work guys.

Mr Bush, did you take money from Jack Abramoff?

Looks like the President is as corrupt as the President.

However, this should still probably be filed under “Large Broom, Big Rug”

Nicely done boys.

Perhaps in this year’s Fulmber Cup Awards … you boys should add a special category for life time achievement awards?

Thanks a bunch for the Ring Cycle reference; I now have “kill the wabbit” stuck in my head.

This whole Bush housing program thing is iffy at best, but I rather doubt that Brand will be playing Siegfried to Carroll’s Brunhilde (Oh Brunhilde, you’re so lovely, Yes I know it, I can’t help it…) any time soon. USC generated too many $$$ for the NCAA to punish a leading franchise.

Cynical, me?

While I’m at it: I took a look at the Bruins Nation list o’ sins, and it’s certainly not a recruiting tool for SC. However, I have to say that I genuinely don’t care about the ones where the football players are beating the shit out of one another (or other adult males). Better that than involving innocent bystanders.

And before anyone gets on me about the Mauluga punching incident, yes of course it could have been unprovoked and that person could have been an innocent bystander.

I love the smell of schadenfreude in the morning

Attention all Domers and ucla bruin fans:

If you guys cannot beat USC on the football field anymore, at least you might as well have the NCAA do the job for you!

As punishment for the Bush-brain-dead-self-inflicted-fiasco, the NCAA ought to limit USC to 8 players against ND and ucla, and that might just make the games competitive again.

Or allow ND to grow the grass as high as they want from now on against USC.

I love the smell of schadenfreude in the morning

Touche, funny Domer.

Harvey – you might want to examine the Holtz record against Southern Cal before you go shooting off at the mouth.

To be perfectly honest, I really don’t care. It’s all based on a fake notion of amaturism that the NCAA is obsessed with that allows universities to make millions off of athletes who cannot get anything until they give up their eligability. (Sorry for the run-on)

I’ve got $50 on an organ-harvesting tie in, who wants some?

Wagner, LW, Bugs & Elmer, and a thieving Harvardite all rolled into one topic about possible NCAA violations and the #1 pick- where else but edsbs?

Parents take bribes from agent. Player rejects agent. Agent blackmails. Maybe USC will zero-peat?

DC Irish:

That is one of the most amazing things about college football, how ND lives in the past more than any other college in America. You’ll hit everyone else over the head with Rockne, the Gipper, the four Horsemen, again and again and again. And now, even that freakin’ Rudy is everywhere again. If you presently suck, might as well say, “We did not suck eons ago”.

But enjoy the present, this Bush mess will only get uglier and uglier – for Trojan fans. Indians, jailed felons, co-conspirators, loose women, probably even weekend golfers will be a part of this mess.

USC will get slapped upside the head by the NCAA and DESERVEDLY so…

Dammit to hell! Alert the Pope and get Bill Donaghue on line 2. Wireman’s on to our secret weapon— our magical stadium turf that only trips and slows down the opposition.

I should be above this but I’m not:

Dammit to hell! Alert the Pope and get Bill Donaghue on line 2. Wireman’s on to our secret weapon– our magical stadium turf that only trips and slows down the opposition.

Well, if you’re slow to start with… except of course for Zbikowski who frightens the grass out of the way, and Samardzija who simply gallops over it as a giraffe gallops over the veldt.

Ooh, poetic, DC Trojan. Now we’ll be imagining Marlin Perkins chasing down Samardxjitbnaja all day from a helicopter, pumping tranq darts into his neck with a high powered rifle.

That could also serve as a hint at strategy for Georgia Tech in the season opener, too.

We Domers have known that Reggie Bush cheats since, oh, say, October 15th?

Also, have a look at any pictures of that game. the grass is nowhere near as high as everyone bitches about it being.

don’t hate us for having the best (read: real) turf in the NCAA.

Now we’ll be imagining Marlin Perkins chasing down Samardxjitbnaja all day from a helicopter, pumping tranq darts into his neck with a high powered rifle.

1. Jim would be doing the shooting while Marlon sampled a local lovely in a nearby village
2. How did you find the super-secret addendum to next year’s ND game plan?

I have got to get back to work…

Excellent “Far Side” reference. Want to see more of that. And yes, Domers live the past more than anyone else (even us Bama fans)

That is one of the most amazing things about college football, how ND lives in the past more than any other college in America. You’ll hit everyone else over the head with Rockne, the Gipper, the four Horsemen, again and again and again. And now, even that freakin’ Rudy is everywhere again.

Dude, the streak ended in 1995 and it’s not like it was for three or four games – it was thirteen fucking games in a row. Your current streak is one win more than the loss streak that immediately preceded it. Yeah, SC has been really, really good and ND not so good the past few years but try to not act quite so obviously nouveau riche.

You’re hanging on tight to the bandwagon but pull your shirtsleeve down so that Raiders tatoo doesn’t show so much.

Cheaters, Plagiarists and Other Boneheads Dept.:

Harvard University plagiarist student’s 2nd book will be:

“Echoes of Kaavya Viswanathan Football: The Greatest Stories Ever Told”

(with the cover of the book having Ms. Visnawa-blah-blah-blah on a pony with pink ribbons in both of their hairs holding an ol’ pigskin)

The irony of a ND fan bringing up Holtz in a scandal thread is priceless.

Rick:

Dude, you are making Wireman’s point by living in the past in that last rant.

Raiders?! This site is “EDSBSaturday”, not Sunday.

Actually, ND and the Raiders have a lot of similarities. They have die-hard fans, bordering on the phsyco level – yet are hated by every other pro football fan.

Raider fans dress in silver and black and all kinds of biker gear. ND fans, especially the ones leading services on Sunday are known to wear biker gear in bars without women, like the one that VITO SPATAFORE went to last week on an episode of the SOPRANOS. (There are more similarites, but let’s leave it at that-for now.)

Yeah, those poor DI athletes with the big, bad universities making money off their poor backs while they don’t get anything out of it.

Oh wait. Four years of education, free room and board, free tutors, world class workout facilities, royal treatment by their peers, travel to destinations across the country (if you play outside the SEC), bowl game gift bags, chance to play for millions in the NFL after four years of specialized career instruction by coaching staffs. . . Yeah, those poor guys should get a LOT more than that. That’s so much worse than holding down a full-time job, 18 hours of credit load, and saddling yourself with financial debt up the wazoo to get through college.

I like how the News 10 Anchor’s name follows the John Stewart “America” book’s methodology. Haute first name followed by an alliterative last name. America salutes you, Lisa Lake.

BTW that diplomatic immunity…It’s just been REVOKED.

I want to know when USC is going to be investigated for faking LenDale White’s suicide at practice. I think BN really is on to something there.

Flew right over your head, didn’t it Stacey? The surest way to identify bandwagoning USC/ex-Raiders followers is that they seem to have no memory of USC or it’s rival before 2002. Or is 2001 ‘living in the past’ ?

Rick:

The sky is blue, water is wet and 2001 IS ‘living in the past’, by definition…

I would recommend to you to go the ‘rush to judgement’ route and continue whack the Bush/USC/cheaters situation – I have! Now that is living in the present.

Large broom, big rug. This will not stick to USC. They have too many unproven outs involvling what USC officials knew and did not know. Sorry UCLA.
I am disapointed in Bush and his family though. How the hell did they think this was going to go unnoticed? He was being hyped all frickn year.

Harvey -

Live in the past? I guess USC – ND started only 4 years ago. Jesus, even Davie beat USC. Guess an overall series record means nothing as well. Better tell the UM Hurricane fans they haven’t done shit since they haven’t won a title in 4 years.

Okay, Stacey – I’ll play. SC lost their last game so their fans should just shut the hell up, right? 45-2 – big freaking deal. What have they done lately? Next thing you know they’ll be popping off about John McKay or some other guy from the 20’s.

You totally missed the point I was making to Wireman (that some football was played for the relative period between Knute Rockne and Pete Carroll and that things between ND and SC got sort of cyclical during those 70 years) and the ‘aw shit I’m just a cynical wise ass’ schtick isn’t making you look any smarter.

oh brian. it’s jon.

manhattan beach sharkeez is just NOT going to be the same without the bandwagon sc fans. actually, it won’t. same smoking hot chicks, just different tshirts. luckily still ready to burst at the seams, in the good way.

i meant it will. can’t tell what a contraction means to a verb meaning… all i need is a trust fund, a bmw and for my IQ to drop 100 or so more points and i could be a usc grad!

Truthiness indeed, it is Jon.

USC’s Heisman RB is involved in shadiness, a UCLA blog writes up a report of USC’s sins, and somehow this turns in to a comment thread about ND living in the past?

Come on, people—as if there’s not enough to focus on with this story that we need to create ND connections to it? 4 months from now the whining will be endless about how much the WWL focuses on the Dome and the Genius Robot and licks their balls, etc. And though it’ll be nice to see ESPN say something good about ND for once (Mark May’s head will explode, I’m sure—that, or he’ll go ahead and predict an 0-11 season for us despite corporate policy), if they suck ND’s schlongs like they did USC this past year, than the rants will be justified.

The same people who rant about it are the ones who’ve brought ND into this discussion thread—they’re like Purdue, who put the score of their game against ND on their Sun Bowl rings 2 years ago. Yes, even this ND grad can say the college football universe doesn’t revolve around ND—so let’s get back to bashing Bush and USC, shall we? Save the ND bashing for a story actually about ND—I’m sure you’ll get plenty of opportunities in the next few months.

Oda, you misspelled USCPND – the station with that show that is a 50 minute commercial that felates USC and ND. I think the show is called Gaymday.

Nice, NewAZ. All this talk about ND already makes me nervous. The non-Domers equate ND air time to ND love—nothing could be further from the truth. All we’ve heard from the WWL for the past 8 years or so is how ND isn’t relevant, ND will never be good again, ND can’t recruit, ND can’t do this, can’t do that…They even hired former Domers Ismail and Taylor and got THEM to bash ND. And we’ll not even go into “Ty-gate” and their idiocy there.

Then we get to last season, and before it actually starts we’ve got Lee, Fowler, and that complete IMBECILE Mark May predicting 0-6 starts. No rationality whatsoever—that was simply wishful thinking, what they WANTED to happen. Kirk was the only one who gave ND a fair analysis to begin the season. Someone will no doubt at this point go “BS, ESPN loves ND” but hell, look at the tapes from the past 8 years. The love to TALK about ND, because people will watch—ever since the NBC contract ESPN has been pretty damn negative towards the Irish.

Now, apparently we’re the designated recipients of this year’s ball washing, according to the “Narrative”. I don’t want any part of it. I’ll watch, as we all will because it’s CFB news, but I dread the thought of Shelley Smith telling me about what Brady Quinn ate for breakfast and Jeff Samardzija’s choice of hair-care products. No one, even ND fans, don’t need to see an in-depth expose(insert accent eigu, ‘cause I can’t) of Tommy Zbibikowski’s bowel movements. Especially since for 8 years we’ve heard nothing but “irrelevant” from the WWL—at least give us an acknowledgement that you were wrong before you start tongueing our rectum.

Of course, it’s not like I really expect actual fair, factual NEWS coverage out of ESPN. Which means that there will be weekly projections about how many more yards Clausen would have thrown for were he the Qb this year instead of Quinn.

Mark May won’t disappoint though. Currently he’s figuring out a way to predict we’ll be 0-4 entering July.

“No one, even ND fans, don’t need to see”

Dammit…I mean no one needs to see…yada yada. I’ll blame that on the Japanese keyboards.
