WTF…WTF…WTF till eternity!!! ESPN isn’t showing the game west of the Mississippi??? We get Purdue vs Ohio State? Dear GAWD in heaven what have I done? How can the dingo-saurus eat those tarheeled babies without me? And who is this “snark-a-saurus” who speaks strange maleficent concepts of entitlemnent? Don’t think for one minute that I am unaware of you and Dougs love child…or that I won’t have the dingo-saraus “eat your baby” without immediate contrition pouring forth from your heart. (W-T-F!?!)

Saying that ND fans as a whole aren’t ‘Entitlement’ mentality fans is like saying that Croom is an offensive genius, that Michigan isn’t perennially overrated, and that Pete Carrol isn’t jacked about USC women’s volleyball.

I’m not aware of this “sense of entitlement” that ND supposedly has. I can’t speak for all ND fans, but we certainly don’t think we’re that great (improved, certainly), and I don’t think we should be ranked. Just because ESPN says we think we should be ranked, doesn’t mean we actually do.

And as for the schedules – sure, Purdue and Stanford aren’t exactly great, but come on, they’re no Syracuse or Youngstown State. SDSU is (should have been) a gimme, agreed. But every other team we played so far ranges from usually competitive (Michigan) to sometimes competitive (Stanford).

God knows I just can’t get enough of those ‘awesome’ SEC offenses scoring 13 or less against whoever in the hell they play. Yippee…

Given our well-earned lack of presence on the national radar (or, hell, even the Chicago-area radar), this prediction might only matter to Spartan Dan, but:

Michigan State – 23
Northwestern – 17

I wish it were otherwise, but the fun ends this weekend.

According to no less a source than The Buccaneers of America, Montbars of Languedoc would cut open the stomach of his victim, extract one end of his intestine, nail it to a post and then beat his ass with a burning log.

Huskers should expect nothing less from the Good Ship Leach this weekend, I fear.

Sullivan (#26): I read that as Arkansas negative-3, Auburn negative-14. And somehow that seems just as plausible.

Holly,

When ND goes undefeated the rest of the season and Jimmy Clausen wins the Heisman, we will act like we have been there before hopefully and not tear the goal posts down.

Sincerely,
Tommy Kilborne

(far and away still my favorite faux posting and some of Orson’s best work. He captured the tremendous entitilement to excellence that all of us Domers possess).

At my job, employees can anonymously donate unused personal time off to ailing coworkers. If I’ve remained bright-eyed and bushy-tailed while screwing Malaysian acrobats in filthy traincars during flu season, I can kick a couple of extra paid days off to the sad bastard in cubicle 15 with scabies and custody hearings. It’s Christian, see?

The NCAA should allow OkSt and Mizzou to do the same for Auburn and Arkansas this weekend.

Holly,

Regarding ND: I want to kiss you on the mouth to stop you from saying such ridiculous things.

“FOR THE LOVE OF FRIED DOUGH!”

Y’ever have hot tea come out of your nose? Not awesome. The other thing, in fact.

Worth it, though. This was the best one of these yet.

“Notre Dame football on NBC: TOUCHDOWN, OTHER GUYS. Rinse and repeat for the remainder of the game.”

The game is at UNC, therefore, not on NBC. Picky, maybe, but the joke really falls apart if you let reality creep in.
As for the point of the statement, I imagine if you keep prediciting an ND loss every week it will be true eventually.
