DRINKING LIKE A CHAMPION: NOTRE DAME RETURNS TO GREATNESS AT USC
Via Crazy Tom, we would like to salute this guy for doing what Notre Dame’s defense did not do all season:
1. Balance multiple assignments simultaneously.
2. Perform well at USC.
3. Impress on sight with its ability to swallow the opponent’s attack whole.
Two out of these three also apply to any number of adult film stars, sure. But those of you doubting an Irish return to greatness…your irrefutable evidence of its existence is below. Besides: we really do owe you for the MBA tailgating vid.

Only two? I am willing to be corrected by DC trojan or other SC alums, but methinks a porn star has probably been called in (somewhere on campus) for a party and did all three from your list. Burbank isnt that far.

Pfft, no need to hire in. There was a young lady who enrolled at USC after a career in porn — her nom de bonque was Annabel Chong. She caused a ruckus on campus with her class project in a photography class — she got it on with another young lady in front of the class, using various implements, and showed it in parallel on a monitor. Apparently the point was that given a choice, most people would watch it on t.v. even if it was right in front of them.

Watching the halftime of the Poinsettia Bowl–and Desmond Howard just completely swung and missed on his “most intriguing game” pick.
Desmond, Cal is playing Texas A&M , not Texas–so your picks of watching Aaron Ross against DeSean Jackson and Marshawn Lynch running against the UT line are off just a tad. The best thing about it is no one corrected him and they just rolled right through, despite the big “Cal vs aTm” graphic right underneath his mug. Nice, Mr. Heisman.

Mississippi State is trying to get a leg up on the Fulmer Cup. Check it out, they’re talking about Bowman signing his early LOI:
“He may just sign it in the jail right now, I don’t know,” Bowman’s attorney, Joe Fernald, said. “He doesn’t have to be anywhere (specific) to sign it.”

i was at a tailgater about 15 ft from the “drinko” board, and judging by the number of people in the video, it was VERY early in the day, maybe 8 am. when we got there around 12, it was packed, and everyone within 50 ft could barely stand.
and that was 5 hours before kickoff.
kudos to mr blutarsky, tho. 99% of the people who i’ve seen try that invariably wind up pouring it all over their heads.

(Let me preface this by saying that I am neither a tOSU supporter nor apologist; nor am I a UF or SEC basher, UF or SEC hater, or any other UF or SEC “-er” word…)
One quibble about those losses tOSU has had vs. SEC: In 5 of the 7 previous “vs. SEC” meetings, the Buckeyes had gone into the final tilt with their big rival (and, if we’re to believe tOSU fans, Mich fans, and the ESPN hype machine, “the biggest rivalry in known universe!!!”) hoping to land in a better bowl than the one they ended up in; even their Sugar Bowl match with Bear and Bama was considered a letdown, as a win in Ann Arbor would have sent them to the Rose Bowl. Most of their opponents were not in the same situation.
- 1978 Sugar Bowl: Alabama 36, Ohio State 6
(tOSU riding low after losing to Michigan in season finale; Bama had won SEC and were playing for a shot at the MNC)
- 1989 Hall of Fame Bowl: Auburn 31, Ohio State 14
(tOSU riding low after losing to Michigan in season finale; Auburn had knocked off previously undefeated Bama in their season finale)
- 1992 Citrus Bowl: Georgia 21, Ohio State 14
(tOSU riding low after losing to Michigan in season finale; Georgia had finished the season with wins over Auburn and GT)
- 1995 Citrus Bowl: Alabama 24, Ohio State 17
(Exception to rule: tOSU had beaten Michigan, and Alabama had lost undefeated season in loss to UF in SEC championship. Still Bama was 11-1 and tOSU was 9-3 going into the game. Who would have picked to win?)
- 1996 Citrus Bowl: Tennessee 20, Ohio State 14
(tOSU riding low after blowing MNC shot by losing to Michigan in season finale; 10-1 Tennessee hadn’t lost since Sept.)
- 2000 Outback Bowl: South Carolina 24, Ohio State 7
(tOSU riding low after losing to Michigan in season finale; Carolina riding high, having won 7 games after a winless previous season)
- 2001 Outback Bowl: South Carolina 31, Ohio State 28
(A semi-exception: tOSU had beaten Michigan, but had finished with 4 losses.)
Also, in 5 of those 7 match-ups, tOSU’s coach was John Cooper, a point I don’t need to elaborate on…
This time ’round, the Bucks are riding high and have a coach that has demonstrated the ability to win big games and bowl games. I’m not saying they will win or they won’t, just that the situation is different.
Another difference is that none of the current tOSU players played in those games. While as fans we are very mindful of the histories of the teams involved in a contest, anything a college team did more than four years in the past is of little consequence to the players on the current team. Most of them could not tell you what happened before they got there, nor do they care.
I have no rooting interest in this game, so I just wish both teams good luck, and hope that not too much furniture or public property is destroyed post-game….

There’s fuck-all else to do in Dartmouth of an evening, I hear. In any case, it’s not like Thurston Howell IX has to stay awake through a football game…
Anyway, Dartmouth is the same school that developed a program in the early 90s to curb student drinking by distributing badges with a picture of a boot with an X through it — as in “don’t boot” or vomit. At the time I thought they were setting the bar pretty low, but that video suggests otherwise.

Short version: Football doesn’t exist outside the Rose Bowl after the Michigan-tOSU game and even the Rose Bowl barely registered with Woody and Bo. There’s a lot to be said for having more teams with a shot at winning a conference.

GeronimoRumplestiltskin says:
Canuck –
I don’t know if Big 10(1) folks still have that “Rose Bowl or bust” mentality or if OSU and Michigan folks hold their annual tilt in such high regard that a loss produces a huge, inevitable letdown afterward. I watched a few of those games mentioned by AUgrad, and I remember a lot of “Well, tOSU is not where they want to be this holiday season…” mentions from the talking heads in the announcing booth. It might have been just broadcaster white noise, but (especially in ‘78, ‘96, and ‘00) the Bucks didn’t look too sharp.
Having watched my Irish in 1980, 1998, 2002, and 2004 a) have high hopes of a preferable bowl bid well into November, then b) seeing them come up short in their season finale at USC, resulting in c) a loss of a shot at the MNC (’80) or receiving a less-preferable bowl bid, culminating in d) them coming out lifeless and flat in their subsequent bowl game, I recognized the pattern.
Merry Christmas all…..
