Keyboard Guy Wants Your Love. And the microphone, if turbo-schlub lead singer will ever let him have it. Notre Dame’s smells like clove, baby powder, and money. The Blue and Gold game this year is sponsored by…Adidas deodorant. (Make your own reeking joke here.) El Kabong is not happy, but he smells great while doing it. Meanwhile: Christ calls Notre Dame the Wal-Mart of football! Nebraska’s spring game is more popular than meth, but not quite as popular as weed…yet. This remains true if you compare market prices, at least: Nebraska’s spring game is commanding prices of $95 a ticket from brokers, meaning Nebraska fans may even top the 80,000+ turnout of Alabama fans for the spring game. (On replays last night, to the untrained eye, Bryant-Denny looked to be in midseason form, albeit in one of those UL-M gimmes. With the notable difference that Alabama won this game..) Florida’s national championship trophy shattered during a recruiting visit, a gaffe that must boost your chances of getting a scholarship. Florida will order another one from the factory in Kentucky as a replacement. T. Boone Pickens is enraged at discovering you could actually just buy a trophy, as opposed to having to go through all this hiring, firing, and building bullshit he’s been trying at Oklahoma State. Joel has a pop quiz for the Orange and White game, and it’s clever as always. TAX DAY! Happy birthday to Weo, who always helps us remember his birthday with “Death, Taxes, and Me.” |

Is it just me or does keyboard guy look like the incestuous love-child of William Dafoe?

“Kestahn, would you mind taking this trophy and moving it over there…only about 5 yards away?”
FAAAAAAHCK!!!

The UF secondary must have been someplace else; footballs never hit the ground with them in the area.

If Notre Dame got the brushoff from the BCS and lost their favored nation status, we would see them join a conference. Since they would look for the easiest way to go, they would probably choose the Big East and disregard the fact that they are in the middle of Big Ten country. They look more and more like the money grubbing, above it all, pious bastards I’ve accused them of being. adidas can’t cover the stench coming out of South Bend without lime.
Happy birthday to me also. This post was brought to you by Titleist.

#5, they’d join the conference they’re already in for basketball and baseball? How scandalous.

Better than Chik-Fil-A or whoever sponsored the nd spring game last year. Sell out much?

I thought Notre Dame was America’s team. Aren’t there fans of it everywhere? Doesn’t everyone watch it on TV? Right?
I guess there aren’t actually *boosters* everywhere. I hope NBC is paying them more than what a conference payout from the BCS gets them, because that would be an easy way to make up some budget shortfalls when the team is being driven into the ground by a string of bad coaching hires.
ND has finished in the top 10 twice in the last 15 years, the same as Utah. It’s in serious danger of being seen as nothing more than a relic by people other than the 25 and under demographic, who already do see ND as a relic.

You mean Tebow didn’t use his expert surgical skills to put the crystal football back together piece by piece?

There is a good solid list of reasons, that on my blog one of my categories/topic is “Suck it ND.” This will add to it.
Why can’t they be endorsed by Irish Spring?

As a tax lawya, let me advise you to pay your taxes.

Irish Spring isn’t strong enough to remove the stench of ND football. Maybe Harp would be better to help Domers forget their plight.

Florida should just burn the building to the ground and start over. You know, bad karma and all.

Two things brought tears to my eyes today. The Keyboard player and comment # 3.

The shattered BCS trophy is not the tragedy it appeared to be…the crystal itself is actually holographic and, as such, each constituent part holds a copy of the whole…Coach Meyer, in his infinite and quantum wisdom, ensured all who had a hand in winning it would now be able to have their own holographic trophy inside each individual piece of the original…this is the kind of new age nurturing going on on college campi nationwide…kinda sweet in a 5th dimensional way…
Incidentally, anyone ever attempt the seduction of a lesbian buddhist psychic? Me neither, but she’s hottness…

#9. That small blip is about to change, my friend.
While I realize that your program has had the inverse history of Notre Dame (15 years of success out since the 1800s), that does not make you on a roll and Notre Dame fading to oblivion.
As a matter of fact, ND is about to wake up from its little nap. When it does, the CFB world will not like what happens to the “up & comers”.

Unc @ #20…on what, exactly, are you basing your assumptions of a ND return to prominence? If its anything more than thinkin’ an’ hopin’ an’ wishin’ an’ prayin’ I’d like to hear it, because I am as certain as you are that the above added to your self-aggrandized storied tradition will get you exactly zip… Oh, and I always love the veiled threats of mayhem awaiting the poor unsuspecting fans of other schools…nice bit of foreshadowing…hope to read your next chapter…

#3 Funny, but I made a few phone calls around town yesterday (my cousin is with the UPD), and more or less this is the actual story of what happened to the crystal trophy;
The crystal trophy wasn’t actually broken in the way they said it was.
It actually happened when Urban was away on vacation. Urban’s son, Joel got convinced into ordering a call girl by one of his neighborhood friend’s Miles Donovan. The first girl that came over was actually Mauresse Speights in a dress and a wig, but he recommended “some pussy that every white boy in North Gainesville was begging for”. That night, Lana (real name: Erin Andrews) came over, and Joel got his cherry poppped.
However, when Joel woke up in the morning, Lana was gone - and so was his father’s crystal egg national trophy.
The story goes on from there and is kinda long-winded but involves a steamy bus ride, the Delta Pi sorority house, Wondy Pierre-Loius threatening some vooodoo shit, a trip to Burrito Brothers, Tate Casey’s dad’s killer set of cable repairman tools and a very, very, very angry Brandon Spikes at Middle Linebacker.
All happily ending with the trophy back in Gator hands. And in the end, Urban decides that a lifelong case of herpes is punishment enough for Joel Meyer.
