It was Ugly but i'll take it

I guess the return of the "Dawgs" isn't coming for a couple years at least. Ty had his guys play us tough today, and it seems that his new offensive coordinator is superior to Bill "Defensive" Diedrick, but our talent and scheme was too much. I'm just glad this game is over, if notre dame went 1-10 this year, this was the one game to win, just to silence everyone who thought firing TY was a bad idea. I was worried when we failed to convert on 2 consecutive 4 downs in the third quarter but the offense finally punched in some touchdowns and made it a comfortable 4th quarter. Next week comes Purdue and coach Joe Tiller's self described "Basketball on Grass" with Brandon Kirsch as the point guard between the hash marks. Purdue is going to be a real rough game, i could see it either being a close victory for the irish, or a blowout for purdue, i can't see us blowing out purdue at Ross-Ade but i hope i'm proven wrong. Right now my gut tells me that purdue throws all over us like washington and MSU did, and we are going to have to score some points on a defense that was embarassed by Lawrence Maroney and the mighty gophers of minnesota. Purdue always plays ND tough so you know it will be physical, i just hope our d-line decides to put some pressure on the qb next time so our woeful secondary can get a break. Call it 34-30 purdue as of this point, but i'll have to get back to you this week.

In other news, i saw USC dismantle Oregon at Autzen Stadium a historically touch place to win on the road, but USC is in another class when it comes to college football. I seriously think that if all the conferences pooled their teams together into all-start conference teams, that USC would still put up 70 points a game. Their offense is scary good, i mean Matt Leinart might as well hold his dance class behind that o-line he has so much time to throw the ball, and if his phenominal receivers are ever covered(like twice a game) his safety valve is REGGIE BUSH!! Holy shit, that would be a number one option for all 116 other D-1 schools, but since USC is so good, Bush is a luxury to be the safety valve. However, i forsee Pete Carroll finding some way to fuck up the season for USC, because he's been keeping the starters in way too long in some of these blowouts. For example, last week against Arkansas Carrol had the first team offense stay in the game until USC was ahead by 50, you know, just to be safe. I mean the guy was calling play action passes, end arounds, i even saw reggie bush throw a pass for christ sakes to matt leinart(allright i made the last one up, but it could have happened, im sure pete would have called it). Someone is going to get hurt, like reggie bush or matt leinart, because one of these embarassed coaches is going to be like, fuck this game, i'm sending the house on leinart so i can end his college career, fuck if he gets a touchdown, i'm making sure my guys try their best to destroy Leinart. We'll see if that happens coming up to the ND vs. USC game on oct 15, but i've already made a bold decision on that game, i believe that USC will score on their first play from scrimage against ND, whether it be a run or pass, i believe that USC will have a 7-0 lead after the first play, gut feeling, i really think pete carrol is going to try and embarass Charlie who upstaged carrol in the NFL, and show Weis, "see chuck, this is what you're going to have after 3 super-charged recruiting classes, you'll actually have a fast RB"

enough about college football, dorm life is surely sucking lately, i'm just getting tired of the drag, there's really nothing to look forward to at this place other then sports. But, things will get better, most assuredly, at least i'm playing whiffle ball again, great fucking sport. And i'm back on a roll in poker, so some things are looking up, love on the other hand is nowhere to be found, but i've pretty much decided that no love is to be found this early in my life, and i'm just going to let it ride and not be such a pansy. I'm going to bring back some IntegriTY back into my persona, wait i've never had integrity, mostly gas, oh well

Bears' recap coming sunday night
