it's not just football...

go ahead, accuse me of being biased. i don't care how you feel about the team or the school, but you cannot deny that there's something about notre dame football that gets people going.

yesterday's game was not just a win for USC and a loss for ND. it was one hell of a game. and the pollsters have recognized that. the AP has kept notre dame at #9 and the USA Today Coaches poll has only dropped us to #12. notre dame is definitely out of national championship contention with two losses, but it's pretty amazing to have an exciting team again.

new coach charlie weis (whom a fellow ND-alum law school classmate of mine said is being called "uncle charlie" by the kids in south bend) is undoubtedly doing a fantastic job. but to be fair, he's working with ty willingham's recruits. i can't help but wonder what willingham would have done with this year's team... okay, i'm over it. no more lamenting the loss of tyrone willingham. or at least not on this blog.

wanna read about the game? okay. go here. or here. or here.

go irish!
