World Series: Boston in 6. By the time the Rockies wake up from their 8 day slumber, they'll be down 2-0. Saux clinch it in Fenway in Game 6 after winning one in Denver. Beckett will win two for Boston. Wally's rooting interest: the Rockies. Any time the low-payroll, "come from nowhere team", underdog can win, the game is better off. It gives all those other fans … [Read more...] about World Series, Pats-Colts & other stuff
Super Bowl Saturday
Okay ... here's the deal. If I'm in any way interested in the Notre Dame football program "being all it can be", then this Saturday's tilt vs long-time rival USC is my Super Bowl this season. We're 1-6 right now, and of our 6 losses, none have been nail-biters. We shot ourselves in the foot (again!) against #3 Boston College last week in what could have been a winnable … [Read more...] about Super Bowl Saturday

I actually didn't see anything good Saturday, so lets' … [Read more...] about Irish Stew
Here’s Motivation
If this doesn't get our boys' blood boiling, nothing will. The initial Coaches Poll came out today and our beloved Fighting Irish were ranked tied for #29 with South Carolina. Ahead of ND are such football "powerhouses" as Hawaii, TCU, and Rutgers. Also ahead of ND are six '07 opponents (from highest): USC, Michigan, UCLA, Penn St, Ga Tech and Boston College. This is both … [Read more...] about Here’s Motivation
