Lost 102-87. I was hoping ND would be more competitive but I am not shocked. The story for the Irish is McAlarney, who dumped in 10/19 3-pointers (most of those attempts came after the game was pretty much in hand) to break his own school record of nine triples. He had 39 points overall. Naturally, Harangody was sick and was upchucking before the game. He did not play well (or make good decisions). Luck of the Irish. But it was a good thing in that the Irish will know they have more work to do if they want to reach their goals.

Since I'm the only big-time Big East homer on this board, I might as well talk up Seton Hall's win over USC, Syracuse's win over Florida last night, and Syracuse leading Kansas right now, and UConn destroying Wisconsin last night, and ND over Texas. There, I'm done, I promise.

Better lucky than good. But it's LFH, so all is possible. Win or lose, getting to play UNC will be a nice boost to our SOS. Need to shoot FTs better, that was supposed to be our biggest strength last year.
-
45-22. One more to the MAC title. No BCS can't put a damper on this freaking amazing season.
-
Watching tonight at a friend's. Let's go 12-0, Cards.
-
SIU and UNI's first-round playoff games have been added.
-
Brey always leaves the starters in longer than I would. I'm not sure if it's extra caution or what, but I guess it's better than taking them out too quickly. Tomorrow's game with Texas will be huge and a great measuring stick for the Irish.
-
Should be a good game. We should've won last year (blew a 17-point lead, which turned out to be one of 11 losses by seven points or less that year), and are 2-1 so far this year, but both were home wins over bad teams. If we win, it'll be because Jarrod Jones has another good game. He's been a nice surprise to start the year.

Charlie Weis starts every day before 5 am and has recruited three straight great classes to Notre Dame. But yeah, he's lazy. I'll just assume you have some inside info, but what does getting up at 5am have to do with anything? The results speak for themselves. With all the supposed talent he can't win. My "inside information" is the 60 Minutes profile on Weis that they did during the 2006 season. The man works his ass off, but for some reason it's not clicking with him.

I like Dumes. He's got some moves.
-
Notre Dame looks great today. They're dominating IU without much help from Luke Harangody. Tory Jackson is much improved offensively.

Weis's little schematic advantage comment ignored that he has no idea how to handle young men. He can't motivate. This doesn't mean a whole heck of a lot but I've never seen ND play with a lot of emotion. The only exceptions were our comeback wins in 2006, the UCLA game in 2007, and to some extent the USC game in 2005. The Irish trotted out of the tunnel last Saturday with all the intensity of a team whose season was over, and that was supposed to be Syracuse's job. If you can't get your team up for a senior day game, with a possible New Year's Day bowl bid on the line, you can't get the job done. He has yet to show any ability to develop freshmen - Jimmy Clausen has gotten worse since mid-October, Golden Tate still has not gotten a chance to do anything other than run go routes, and Michael Floyd is only incredible because he's damn near already a finished product. Weis did a fantastic job developing Brady Quinn, Samardzija, Walker, etc. because they were already hardened from not only two years of competition but the Willingham soap opera as well. I'm not sure he can do the same with this current group. There's no reason Notre Dame shouldn't have won 9 games this year with their schedule, and yet they are lucky to have won six. If not for David Bruton's miraculous forced fumble at the goal line against San Diego State in the opener, this is probably another 2007.

It will look remarkably similar to the listless 41-10 beatdown that we took to mark the end of the Tyrone era. It may be a decade-plus before we beat USC again.
-
Gross and Rosario both jump for back to back false starts then we run on 2nd and 24 and almost get safetied. Good job, Carolina.
-
FREAKING Panthers defense...31-21. This makes just about every game the rest of the year (all of whom are against teams just as good or better than the Falcons) a must-win if we want to win the South.
-
How many freaking 3rd and longs do you let a rookie QB convert?????
-
Carolina races right down the field for a TD, on a 12-yard Jake Delhomme scramble no less. And they get the 2. 24-21 Falcons. Damn, this is exciting.
-
Clearly we had to pull back within 17-13 before letting Atlanta regain control of this game. Now it's 24-13.
-
Nice effing clock management, John Fox, you clown. We should be down 4 or tied but Carolina has screwed up two straight drives.
-
Charles Godfrey forces a fumble, Carolina drives it to the 1, commits a false start, and kicks a field goal.
-
Western Michigan is right there with Central and we were lucky to escape Kalamazoo with a win last year. A loss would still send CMU to the MAC title game on the fourth tiebreaker - league schedule strength. Tim Hiller has been ripping up defenses. We'll need one more stout game. Notre Dame - I don't care. Just go get blown out. I'll probably watch, but I don't care.
-
The NFC South traditional home-team dominance continues. Atlanta's going to kill us, we look awful.
-
Of the 14 teams ahead of them, which teams do they deserve to be ahead of and which ones do they actually have a legit chance to beat. Personally they won't beat any team that is currently ahead of them. I just find it ironic that they kept moving up for beating bad teams and now that they are beating good teams they are dropping. I know that's the way it goes later in the season when the pollsters have a better idea of who's good, but it's a pain.
-
Or maybe he'll throw two interceptions. Haha.
