Our kicker has missed 5 extra points today - one of which was blocked and returned for 2 points by San Diego - meaning that our incompetant kicker has cost us 7 points today. I could understand one or two, especially since one was blocked, but 5? You have to try to miss 5 extra points.

 

It seems like you'd have to try to miss that many extra points.

Lou Holtz.>>>ND is a great team? I don't consider any team this year as great.

 

I don't understand why ESPN employs Lou Holtz and allows him to speak on national television. The guy makes statements that hold absolutely no merit and are completely off base. Don't get me wrong, Mark May isn't great either, but at least he puts thought into his arguments and provides a good reasoning to go along with them.

 

As an ND fan, Lou Holtz embarrasses me at this point. When someone tries to make an argument for your team and they are so horribly bad at it that it can easily be shot down by the whole country, the country can become convinced that there is no better argument out there. Every time Lou says something about ND, it just makes ND look weaker and weaker because of his horrible representation of the facts. I hope he retires-soon.

 

He should stick to being a motivational speaker and leave it at that.

 

Lou should not be a public speaker anywhere. Just a horrible voice.

 

I'd rather listen to him speak than Mark May. May's voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. Add to that his nonsensical arguments and it becomes difficult to keep from V-Chipping ESPN off my channel list.

 

Lou Holtz's arguments are WAY more nonsensical than May's are. Lou Holtz just says that South Carolina and Notre Dame are going to win and that's it. May at least provides realistic arguments (whether or not they are correct) and provides adequate logic and reasoning as to why he's arguing that side. Holtz doesn't.

 

Like I said in my original post, I don't like May too much either but May is, by far, the lesser of two evils.

 

Yeah, but you know Lou is just a rah-rah kind of guy. It's forgivable. With May, there's a sense that he should know better.

Hmm.

 

Wisky has snuck back into this.

 

USC wins tonight over ND, and we move up to #5- with thanks to South Fla.

 

UCLA beats USC next week, and Arkansas beats Fla in the SEC Championship game, and....

 

Wisky goes to #3 and qualifies for the BCS, as the 3rd team from the Power Conferences has to be #3 to qualify. It is still a longshot, but one can hope.

 

I don't think Wisky can return their Capitol One invitation, which they have already accepted.

I think we can agree that they both suck and shouldn't be on tv.

True.

 

I still like Corso's goofy-ness though. In the same way that I like Tom & Jerry cartoons 8)

I was referring just to May and Holtz. I like Corso and Herbstreit - Corso in the same way you do and Herbstreit because he actually knows football and provides useful insight.

Brady had a better chance cutting to the middle and running for it on that 4th down.

 

I don't think he would have made it-he would have been 2-3 yards short. There will be plenty of possessions in this game though-a couple of times turning it over on downs in the game doesn't matter all that much.

USC is going to shred up Notre Dame's defense.

 

I told one of my friends - a Notre Dame fan - earlier today that the Notre Dame offense would keep them in the game but the Notre Dame defense will have to win the game for them.

This is gonna be a complete beatdown. Damn you Notre Dame. The one time I want you to win (puke) they're gonna get their asses kicked (the only reason I want them to win is because I do not want to see USC in the championship game AGAIN).

That shouldn't be a touchdown.

Don't worry, UCLA will win next week. :)
