Notre Dame over Michigan

September 13, 2008 by Wally 6 Comments

ND looked like the confident squad out … [Read more...] about Notre Dame over Michigan

Break up the O’s!

April 8, 2008 by Wally 2 Comments

Random baseball thoughts: I know we're just a week into it and the Orioles haven't exactly played a Murderer's Row schedule just yet, but they're 6-1!!! Insert blind squirrel comment here _____________________________________________. Meanwhile, the Tigers are now 0-7 with a couple more to play at Fenway. Chain smoker Jimmy Leyland is now up to 6 packs a day. This could be … [Read more...] about Break up the O’s!
