Oh, Orson, that’s so … that’s … well, actually, yeah, that’s pretty accurate. Personally, I drank bourbon — lots and lots of bourbon — after the Oregon game this year. But no need to nitpick.

Hitler was overrated, and Alabama really only won 6.

I love that the comment thread to a hilarious post on Michigan stereotypes has still managed to devolve into ND and USC grads discussing the relative worth of their degrees. We just need a reference to Hitler and another to “how-many-national-championships-did-Alabama-really-win”, and we’ll have hit the college football blog trifecta of dumb.

Jeff from LA:

1) Everyone knows that the US News rankings are, for the most part, worthless. Especially in the real world where, you know, it really matters.

2) Even if they weren’t worthless, any sane law school grad, aks lawyer, realizes that every school between ~18-25 is essentially identical.

3) If you are going to resort to US News BS, at least use this years rankings, where USC is #18 and ND ties for #22: http://www.abovethelaw.com/2008/03/us_news_rankings_1.php#more

4) Talking smack about owning ND as of late on the field I’ll give you. Bringing out the “I went to law school card” is lame. I know, because I went to law school.

#75, it’s all circular man. ND went 12-0-1 against USC from 1983-1995. The tide will turn. Big Fat Charlie’s recent recruiting success should have us competitive again soon (unless he gets fired for going 6-6 this year). The “Willingham’s last recruiting class sucked and I got a late start on my fist” free pass has been revoked.

I break wood every time you use those sexy german words. And I don’t think I’m alone in that, either.

Bo Schembeckler’s steakhouse is now a Korean restaurant, but with all the Schembeckler-iana on the walls still. That’s the kind of grim “joke” you’re talking about, I think.

FWIW, I’m fairly sure that I’ve seen more than 3 attractive Michigan coeds at a time when in Ann Arbor visiting the in-laws, but maybe not court-of-law sure.

Gold. Solid, solid gold.

“Michigan, like Emory in Atlanta, is a well-worn landing spot for Jewish kids from the northeast whose parents want to expose them to the rest of middle America without actually having them eaten by the wolf-men and heartless greaser killers roaming the Wal-Martian core of our country.”

It’s a tossup between Michigan and Moo U for feminine pulchritude. In other words, not bad, but you don’t go to a Big 10 school expecting to see skin on any given November Saturday, unless it belongs to a Sig Chi pledge.

Funny thing is that of all the girls I knew in high school, the only one who wound up posing for Playboy went to Northwestern…

Okiedomer, I can’t exactly understand why you’re talking smack about Michigan or USC. From what I remember, Michigan killed your team last year. I’m surprised Domer fans can even show their face after a 3-9 season.

As for looking down on USC fans, perhaps my memory is faulty, but USC killed ND at South Bend 38-0 this past season. If you have trouble remembering last season, then maybe USC’s victory the year before might ring a bell. No? Perhaps USC’s victory the year before that? What about the previous year? Or the previous one. I hope you’re starting to see the pattern.

On the other hand, maybe you’re bragging because of Charlie Weis’s amazing record in BCS bowl games, whereas Pete Carroll has struggled to a miserable 5-1 record.

Oh and please don’t try to spout any of that quality ND education garbage at me. I went to USC for law school, and our law school is ranked about 12 spots higher than ND’s 28th ranked law school:

I’m just waiting for “Stuff Black and (Old) Gold People Like”. Essentially, it’ll boil down to: Anheuser-Busch products, antlers (and not just on deer), baseball and not opening windows from the west, because we don’t want to catch whatever the hell made Fred Phelps become psychotic.

I made a conscious effort to count all the beautiful women. There were about 3. The entire day.

I was trying to be scientific. Just because I’ve never seen one doesn’t mean they don’t exist, right?

Somewhere?

….guys?

This couldn’t have gone without digs at my own alma mater, and I love you for it.

If you really need to boil down tOSU-Michigan, just remember what high school was like. There was always some pasty white kid with unbelievably good grades in genuine classes like chem, physics, and calculus. That’s Michigan. Then there was the popular meathead who C’d his way through all his classes but cleans that geek’s clock every Wednesday for being a bit of a dbag. Said meathead excels in one or two classes but slacks off in the rest. That’s Ohio State.
