This is by far the most bitter I’ve ever seen Notre Dame fans. Love not playing Williams, as if ND wasn’t lacking depth along the defensive line already. Shit, I forgot to include that in my post about Corwin Brown too…

Thought I’d add here…Ian Williams, the starting defensive tackle for Notre Dame who commented on how Navy outschemed Notre Dame’s overmatched coaching staff…will NOT be starting the game tomorrow night. It’s unclear if he’s even going to play in the game at all.

That’s professionalism at its highest degree right there.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have some pitchforks, torches, and a REALLY fat effigy to go put together.

Excellent point, Jeremy. Why limit myself to hating only part of the state? My Chargers are playing the Eagles this week. The resurgent Bengals are playing the Steelers. The only part of Pennsylvania that I’ll root for this weekend is Pitt when they play Notre Dame, though only because it’s Notre Dame. Thanks, man.

Penn State’s main campus is in central PA and the university has students from across the commonwealth. The Patriot-News, which wrote about the Little 500, is published in Harrisburg, in the easterly part of the state. So, you should really be complaining about smarmy Pennsylvania bastards, not just western Pennsylvania bastards.

Yeah, but I’m guaranteeing that RichRod didn’t do the old “watch me make this pencil disappear” trick. He was too busy poring over game tape in order to find players from other teams committing felonious acts on the grid iron.

And Michigan can’t fire RichRod this year! They’ll have a crap ton more money to shovel at Brian Kelly!

There’s a certain symmetry to the ND/Pitt game. Weis burst onto the scene against Pitt in 2005 and we hung 40+ on the overmatched Panthers. It was the beginning of the Weis era.

When Pitt hangs forty on us and we stumble around looking like a team still pointing fingers after the Navy loss, it will be the end of the Weis era, as well.
