Notre Dame Loses, A Nation Rejoices
>> Sunday
In what has got to be one of the most satisfying trips to the woodshed I've seen in college football in a long time, Michigan absolutely pasted ND on Saturday. Yeah, I know, it's old news, but come on - this one is REALLY satisfying.
Exposed in the game was ND's lousy defense and the fact that Brady Quinn is nothing special, even with Charlie "Honey" Weis pulling the strings. ND had no business at #2 and now they're going to be where they should have been all along - in the 10-15 range of college football's best.
So, with that, ND's title dreams for a title go down in flames and the world no longer needs to be forcefed rich-kid Irish bullshit.
Hail to the victors.

This is me beaming...just beaming.
I would've gone with the more widely-recognized Charlie "Eidel-" Weis. (If that's how you even spell that.)
Charlie "Miami" Weis needs to motivate his boys. And while I'm fairly impartial towards ND, Brady Quinn is still a stud QB who compares favorably to Carson Palmer in Zuch's terribly inexact science of rating football players.
Five years from now:
"Remember Brady Quinn?"
"Oh yeah, the brother of the chick that A.J. Hawk is nailing. Didn't he used to be a quarterback or something?"
Brady Quinn has a place in history more or less reserved for him alongside Kevin McDougal and all the other Notre Dame QBs who ALMOST won the national championship.
As for Quinn's O-Line, true, but some of the blame has to fall on Quinn's shoulders for his poor performance. Watching the game, it seemed as if Quinn took FOREVER to throw any pass. It seemed like Charlie "Honey" Weis had made it a requirement for Quinn to pumpfake at least once before he threw the ball, regardless of defensive pressure or field position.
Brady Quinn "the Eskimo" is a handsome young fellow, whereas Charlie "Word to the" Weis is a big tub of goo. Wait--what were we talking about again?
The Packers have already invested two years in grooming Aaron Rodgers. They won't draft Quinn even if they do like him. They'll either take Adrian Peterson (who figures to be much, MUCH better than his dopplegangler) or Joe Thomas.
But you know, now that I think about it Quinn has a lot in common with Tom Brady and Matt Leinart. He's dreamy. He plays his college ball at one of the country's biggest programs...Um, he's dreamy.
OK, fair enough. The O-Line sucked, Quinn took too long, the receivers couldn't get open. Sportswriters have a way to refer to this phenomenon.
Michigan beats Notre Dame.
Well put Seve.
I prefer "Michigan wins, God loses bet."
