Navy dumps The Irish 23-21, maybe spoiling the Irish shot at the big Bowl game payoff. I say “maybe” because, well, when you “ARE” Notre Dame you only suck ass until your next win….regardless!
ITs not like they didn’t have EVERY OP to make it to the BCS level Bowl(s),….being Notre Dame and all. The rules for them are “special”, in that they don’t have to win a conference, play a conference Championship game, and don’t even have to reach the top 12 Like Boise State, TCU and the like. They, ND, only have to finish in the top 14 to “earn” an auto bid to a BCS game, despite what everyone else has to do. Add to that, they they’ve been as successful in Big Bowl games as “Pear’s” lawsuit was against the Doc’s for his failed gastric bypass surgery!, and well….- Apparently Irish fans just love to watch their team lose BIG!

Still, Chunky Weis in his 5th season at “The Dame” has yet to have a “BIG” win or finish a season with any level of achievement. His lone Bowl win is against a sub-average Hawai’i team and he has a very Div-Two level success against top 25 teams! Still, his Pear’ness maintains the special status title as; – Head Coach!
Purdue is his “biggie” so far this year ( by 3), and his other conquests have been; Washington (by 7 in OT), Washy State, Nevada, Boston College (by 4), and Michy State (by 3). His losses; USC (again!), UMichy, and Navy (for the 2nd time in 3 years!). No, Notre Dame has gotten EVERYthing and more out of this hire!…Yeah, he didn’t dupe them and then deliver NOTHING!
Games remaining on the schedule include to “away games” against Pitt and Stanford, and a “home game” against UConn. UC rang Uconn up for something like, 4300 yards thru the air in their win over the hapless Huskies. So look for Clausen to get back into the Heisman race after that one (maybe he wont fumble at he goal line in THAT home game)! Five years, and the magic man has failed to deliver ONE signature win…ONE!. How he’s not being sued for malpractice is nothing short of a mini-miracle! Notre Dame fans have become the Chicago Cubs of College Football. The biggest difference being, of course, the Cubs wouldn’t “make” the post season based conclusively on their 1940’s success , TV contract, and Rabid fans who fight tooth and 3-leaf clover for respect, without having beat anyone!
I’m not exactly sure that Florida will make it to the National Title game (again) this year,…I know, tears and sorrow all around,…sure. But one thing IS certain. Five years ago two coaches took over programs that were mostly under achieving,….One has won 2 National Titles and is still in the running for a third, while the other is still struggling to play in one of the 14 post-new Years bowl games– despite top recruiting classes the last 4 years!….Well, and the special considerations ONLY enjoyed by Notre Dame! When will the excuses end, at the “Bend”?….No, wait!….Its Ty Willingham’s fault (still), right!?!?!?
