9th ranked Michigan in '02. Actually, they were 6th. And they were 8th when we beat them in '04. They must be referring to end-of-season rankings because we also beat them in '05 when they were 3rd. They were 9th at the end of the season. Well, there you go. One good thing that happened this week is that PSU won their bowl game, so we can finally put that "Weis hasn't beaten a team that finished up ranked" talk to rest. Next season, with ND's schedule, I expect 8 wins, with losses to Michigan and USC again (both will be too talented), as well as any two of Purdue/UCLA/PSU/BC/GT if Calvin somehow comes back. 9 wins and a Gator Bowl berth would be an incredible coaching job by Weis.

Bring it, Flames. (The first Bracketology has SIU vs. Notre Dame in an 8/9 matchup.)

Truth. Still were the only option, though, unless we think that a WV team that gave up 35 points to Georgia Tech deserved it over them. I think it means the two-team limit needs to be trashed. I agree (which no one seems to notice around here, since I've said it like 7 times).

Cowherd: That was supposed to happen. LSU is far more talented than ND. Look at the ESPN.com frontpage and look at the athletes around Charlie. Do they look like five-star athletes? He's still doing a great job. Before him, they were getting blown out by Syracuse...at least now they're getting blown out by the right people. Boers and Bernstein re: the refs: If there's a pro-ND officiating conspiracy, it's the worst-executed conspiracy in the history of sports. Oh, and the fake punt was a stupid idea (on the 2nd drive there was a much better situation under which to attempt one), it should've been obvious when LSU sent a kicker out who hadn't attempted a FG all year that they were faking it, and I love Charlie, but he needs to learn how to coach a bowl game.

I had to bump this. I would later go on to pick USC in the bowl pick 'em.

In happier January 3rd ND developments, the Irish moved up to 17th in the AP poll, then beat Louisville in the Big East opener 78-62 behind 19 from Russ Carter, 15 from Luke Harangody, and a career-high 14 from new point guard Tory Jackson. Rick Pitino called the Irish a "legitimate contender" and asked why we weren't ranked higher after the game. :D It's ND's longest winning streak (12) in over 20 years.

Great game, wasn't it? ;) *looks at sig* Not so much. I'll credit your fans for being classy though. One thanked us for coming to New Orleans, and right after it was over, a few wished us a safe trip back to South Bend. When someone said "One day ND will win a bowl", I responded with "I'd settle for being in the game in the 4th quarter". JMR is good (very good), but the Instant History crowd saying he'll suddenly be better than Quinn are crazy. The offensive line, the whole defense, and Rhema McKnight (who has to have dropped more passes in the last two games than any ND receiver in history) totally let him down. Again.

It's never the stars that hit those shots. It's Leandro Barbosa or Flip Murray or Damon Jones. Pisses me off.

I dunno how loud Tiger Stadium is, but it can't be much louder than the Superdome. LSU fans at least 9 to 1 and probably closer to 12.

I think if you told me that if Carolina had won their final 5 divisional games, swept the best team in the division (Saints) and their biggest rivals (Bucs) and split their four games with the AFC North back in August, I'd have told you that they were sitting pretty for a Super Bowl run. Damned injuries, underachieving, etc.
-
Another L. I've plummeted from 98th percentile awful quickly.
-
Grossman went 2/12, 33 yards, 3 picks. Meaningless game I know, but wow.
-
Ugliest things I've ever seen. I'm lucky I didn't watch that game.
-
More class by USC. You recruited the guy, you deal with the consequences.
-
Well, this NFL week went about as badly as could rationally be expected outside of Jake Delhomme inexplicably waking up about 10 weeks too late.

what redskins thing? Them losing last night. As it stands now, if they'd gotten it done we'd be a Bears win away from the playoffs. :x Even if the Eagles were in the running for the last playoff spot, I think I'd have a hard time being pissed at other teams for losing. These teams are 7-8... if the Panthers wanted to make the playoffs they should've shown up in their home games against the Giants and Steelers. The games where we were starting Chris Weinke? If we're gonna mention any games in this space, any of the 5 blown 4th-quarter leads would work. Or the phantom no-call on Lito Sheppard in the Philly game. Any of those gets turned around...

Shock of the day

This Redskins thing is really pissing me off now. Delhomme to Smith for another TD.
-
Gamble pick-sixes Jamie Martin, now in for Drew Brees.
-
And damn it Lions, remember who you are in the 2nd half
-
Panthers tied at 14 at the half. Figures. Jake Delhomme's been brilliant (13/16, 136 yards, 1 TD to Smith) and the defense has held the Saints to 'only' 160 yards. If the stupid Redskins had come through last night all of this would actually mean something.

As Raw pointed out, we lost to IU to fall to 4-9 on the year. The best thing you can say about this team is that they played a lot of good teams in OOC play and only really got stomped by one of them (Butler). ND beat up Stony Brook without K-Mac to go to 12-1 and tie their longest win streak ever at 11. McAlarney was suspended indefinitely, so Tory Jackson, a true freshman, will take over at PG. He'd better do a lot better than he did yesterday if the Irish are to fulfill the promise they've showed so far. They'll play Louisville on the 3rd (good luck getting any attendance at that one with the Sugar Bowl starting less than an hour after the end of the b-ball game).
