7-2. Big East championship right thurr. Oh. God. With Pitt overcoming turnover troubles and winning games, do we dare call Dave Wannstedt…gulp…competent? HALP. Having LeSean McCoy helps, of course. “GUN? DID HE SAY GUN?” Mike Leach, the NASDAQ, and a sport-coat Under Armour undershirt fashion combo: further pirating tales. “Maturi said something, then Myers, then me and then Leach gets the mike. He says, ‘I don’t have much to add, so as we say in Lubbock, ‘GUNS UP!’ “He shouts it, and people on the floor hear ‘guns,’ and they are ducking for cover, and security is running around. Mike Leach rules. How do I…”head coach?” Charlie Weis will be more involved in play-calling following Notre Dame’s 17–0 loss to Boston College, taking back the playcalling duty he delegated in the offseason. BGS says someone needs to grab the wheel, but Doc Saturday points out that the Notre Dame offense has been slightly more consistent without Weis pulling the strings. Perhaps they’ve overindulged in tasty Texas ribs. Ribs do knock a person out, so that may explain the damning amount of empty seats at the Baylor/Texas game. Credit Vandy fans on Saturday night against Florida: a row of shirtless students stayed strong wearing nothing but shorts and body paint through the end of the game. Dedication! When we’re awakened by a wrong phone number at 2:45 in the morning, we usually lay awake thinking about the clowns, and how we can’t sleep because they will eat us. Blutarsky wakes up thinking about Georgia football. That’s obsession done right and effortlessly, people. |

You can’t call the Wannstache competent yet. He’s winning the proverbial special olympics that are the Big East. You saw that video. McCoy’s running against D2 rejects.

Two coaches that should remain at their respective schools forever for entirely different reasons.
Leach at TT, so he can be a quirky as he wants and succeed.
Weis at ND, so the arrogant SOB can can drag that program down to the depth of whale shit on the bottom of the Marianas Trench. I love how ND is using their “decided schematic advantage”. Please honor every year of CW’s contract.

I know a lot of people in the Special Olympics that would be offended by being compared to the Big East…

Hey, wait a minute…I thought the NASDAQ was all electronic, IE, no traders.
PS, Tom Brady, you look like a homosexual wearing that big coat trying to sell me stetson cologne. Yes, I know you’re banging Giselle, but still, stop.

Can Mike Leach get any more awesome? I can only imagine how fun it would be to take whiskey shots with him at some swanky Manhattan Hotel Bar while he is rocking an Under Armour T shirt and a sportcoat. Protect this house indeed, Counselor Leach.

The Senator is always on top of his game with a number of quick, insightful posts each day. And getting up to post a random thought like that is absolute dedication even in the wake of a disappointing season with two entrails-scattering defeats.

Is any fashion ensemble truly complete without Under Armour. I think not.
#5 – In my dream sequence those shots being taken at a New Jersey Chili’s.

I haven’t been to a game at DKR-Memorial since 1998, so tell me: do they still allow pass-outs at half time to go to the Alumni Center and band back as many Shiner Bocks (in cans!) as possible before the second half starts?
That, and Baylor, would explain a lot.
And FWIW, when I went to Michigan Stadium the Wolverines were playing Western Michigan and the place was packed to the gills for the whole game. I was impressed. I think that was ‘02.

If LeSean ever lept someone, I’d be tempted to call Knowshown a poor man’s LeSean.

I’m trying to get tickets for the (gulp) Michigan/Northwestern game this weekend?
So, do you think seats at the box office are still available?

As a USC fan I’m starting to hope that Notre Dame has a way to get out of that 10 year deal with Weis. He was OK the first couple of years when he still had players recruited and coached by Willingham. 9-3 with blowouts in the big games was just right for the rivals.
Now Weis is turning Notre Dame into too much of a drag on USC’s strength of schedule.

Harris says:
Unless Weis can design a play called, “Hey! Don’t throw it to the defense, shithead” or “Block somebody, you fat, worthless shitheads” or even something simple for the defense like “Tackle, shithead” he’s not liable to do much good.

Raider Red says:
Yes, b/c the Washington schools are really helping the ol’ SOS.
I want Notre Dame to lose every single game they play, so NBC dumps their ass and they are forced to do the logical thing and join the Big Ten.

Harris @ 12 – if I didn’t know better, I would think that you were getting slightly frustrated.

Best. Simpsons sound loop. EVER.

From the article:
“I tell you, Leach … he’s a different sort of cat.”
Yes. The best sort.

Weis and the Irish will be better next year. He will add, ‘punch d-lineman in the groin” “more touchdowns Michael Floyd”, more touchdowns Golden Tate”, and “Here comes Cierre Wood” to the playbook. At least, I hope he does.

#13, if they didn’t mind giving up those ‘traditional’ rivalries with Big Ten that actually started being played frequently in the 1980s, it would also be logical for the Golden Domers to join the Big East, where they, you know, play every sport except football already…
