On a slightly different track with this one.
Was listening to Fasto some time ago - could have been last week, but I think it might have been back in August - and at one point he was ferociously ballwashing the Fighting Irish, saying that they were on track to win a minimum of 10 games, beat USC and had a good shot at playing in the BCS title game.
I won't be able to listen to him today, but I have no doubt that he'll simply pretend that he never said any such thing.....
Did Fatso ever belly up to the bar on this?
I'm guessing not. I'm guessing he treated it like an editor of Pravda who used to white out from May Day photos leaders who had fallen out of favor in the old Soviet Union. That's the way fraudulent bullies behave -- "he never existed; I never said it."
I recalled your post today when watching Notre Dame yield 30 points at home to a Washington team that went winless last year and has never beaten Notre Dame. The Irish pulled it out in overtime.
I don't hate on Notre Dame. I used to but I'm past it. They have fallen far enough long enough that I feel badly for them, and because I'm a Pats fan who likes Weis, I root for them now. But their defense could get to a BCS title game only by buying a ticket.
This guy is delusional about them, as if stuck in a 50s/60s time warp when they didn't allow girls in parochial schools to wear shiny leather shoes for fear that boys would glimpse a reflection of the pussy. He actually said a few years ago that everything else being equal, Notre Dame would get the nod to play in a BCS title game because of their national audience pull. What he forgets/ignores is that much of that audience fought in WWII and Korea and now spends its time in caskets.
