Lol ND vs lol Sparty

Sure to be a bumbling classic of incompetence, stolen in the last second by either team. Can't wait I guess.

Sadly enough it should be good. ND @ Lansing has been a consistent nail biter with craziness in 2, 06 and 10. 2008 was the boring game only because Frosh Michael Floyd fumbled on his way into the endzone.

It's really odd that we're playing the Michigans out of order this year. Maybe we'll beat Sparty and then have an emotional let down next week.

Happy Michigan St. week! Always a good re-listen. From the 2006 game.

Yeah it barely ever happens that way. Last time was 1997, and before that almost never.

Notre Dame is divorcing itself from the Big East to run off with the ACC, though the ACC's news release doesn't say when. Football is part of the deal, too, though not all the way:

The Irish will compete as full members in all conference sponsored sports with the exception of football which will play five games annually against league programs.

Pete Thamel of SI says a Notre Dame official told him the timetable is "very murky," since ND can't leave the Big East until 2015 without paying an exit fee. By playing a partial ACC football schedule, the Irish will not be eligible to compete for an ACC football title. More Thamel:

The move may cost the Irish some traditional opponents in football, as a Notre Dame official said that the school's top priorities in football scheduling moving forward will be to retain a West Coast presence — games against USC and Stanford — and the annual game with Navy. That means Notre Dame's games against some of its Midwest opponents could be in danger.

A source told Yahoo's Dan Wetzel that Notre Dame made the move because of football scheduling concerns, which Wetzel said were "[b]igger than weakening of Big East." Oh, and now that the ACC appears to be done ransacking the Big East, it's raised its own exit fee to $50 million.

Stanford should not be a priority, Andrew Luck and Jim Harbaugh aren't walking through that door

Seriously, Stanford over Michigan? Even MSU and Purdue are more logical to keep.

Oh boy let us get excited for our new rivals NC State, UVA, James Madison, Richmond, William and Mary ... Who of those is really a member of the East UnderACChievers Club?

i remember for a minute....it was like 87 88 or 89, i had my michigan hat (that was the story of the beginning of my michigan fandom: mom had me at a garage sale, i saw a UM hat for .25 and asked my mom to get it because i liked the colors. she tells the story like this, 'you wanted the hat and i told you that i'd buy it but your dad wouldn't like it because he hated michigan....so you bought it and never took it off that entire summer) but i also had my dad's $5 in a bowl game pool.

so the scene is set: notre dame needed to win their game. they had rocket ismael (sp? nah, **** him).

i was up late, my dad was into it because while he picked most of the games for me, *I* had a chance to win the bowl pool because i liked ND's gold helmets and said they would win....notre dame just had to win.

guess what rocket did? rocket returned a kick (a punt? **** if i remember) to the HOUSE. i was acting like an 8 (9? 10?) year old who just realized he had won like $1,000 would have...

guess what else happened? holding.

i apparently didn't understand. i won right? no.

dad: "wiper you didn't win because that play didn't count, the referee threw a flag and they don't count that touchdown..."

at the time, i was crushed. my dad was also crushed enough that he took me to an indoor waterslide place the following weekend (i don't remember this).

what i do know now: THANK ****ING GOD THAT REFEREE THREW THAT FLAG. my lifetime fandom was up in the air. if rocket's return would have counted, I WOULD HAVE PROBABLY BEEN STUCK ROOTING FOR THIS ROTTEN, PUSSY, 'REMEMBER WHEN THIS TEAM USED TO BE GOOD?' TEAM FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.

thank you, random referee who threw a holding penalty flag. you saved me from a life of irrelevant college football fandom.

Wouldn't match the wad of paper his envelopes were stuffed with at the time.

The PAC network launched only a month ago and that Orange Bowl was Colorad's highlight. When they got to that play, the players didn't shout in denial or torture the definition of clipping; they laughed and said that sometimes you get the calls.

I'm impressed, a model for fanbases who'd otherwise be in denial.
