God tries to help Notre Dame

Posted by HenryJames on October 19th, 2007 under Football

Notre Dame hosts USC tomorrow in what should be a low scoring yet easy Trojan win. The only hope the Irish have is if the Trojans don’t show up.

They almost didn’t.

Southern Cal’s chartered flight had some very tense moments last night. A severe thunderstorm caused the plane to plummet at one point during the flight.

Quarterback John David Booty said, “It wasn’t the worst flight I’ve ever been on, but it was definitely the biggest drop.”

If they lose to Notre Dame, their drop in the polls will be just as big.

    it was just the gravitational pull as they flew over mangino’s house.

  2. Jesus, what was the worst flight Booty’s been on?

    no shit, nordberg. i would absolutely lose my shit if any plane i was on did that.

  4. The pilot must not have had 30 days to prepare for the storm.

  5. Would I have been wrong to title it ‘We Aren’t Marshall?’

    “We Aren’t Marshall”

    brilliant.

  8. You could have also titled it “We aren’t Knute Rockne”

    ‘We Aren’t Marshall?’

    +1

  10. “it was just the gravitational pull as they flew over mangino’s house.”

    I thought it was the state of Oklahoma. I guess having two such magnitudes of gravitational forces side by side is like a binary star system.

    Greg Davis was the pilot

  12. If Greg Davis had been the pilot, they would have stopped 42 times between LA and South Bend.

    I was a little skeptical about Jungmann just due to the nature of the pitching beast, sophomore slump, I’m a fag, yadda, yadda. The dude is nails, and is going to be a multi-millionaire in the next two years.

    Pitching is usually ahead of hitting, and in our case, pitching is headed to Nebraska and

    Because of a 1-0 loss. Pitching clearly let us down in that one.

    He’s a witch. Last night he struck out 17 Iowa batters in only 7 1/3 innings of work. And got a no decision. More on that later. He’s filled out his frame and is no longer all arms and legs like he was last year. His fastball has gotten, uh, faster, and last night

    There are some some mighty good points and spectacular literary references in this thread, but I can’t remember a single one because one poster had to reference the Listeater and another one had to drop a neutron bomb.

    Jacob Pullen and Denis Clements aren’t quite good enough to win games by themselves.
    But they have no problems keeping the Wildcats competitive while their teammates are struggling. The top backcourt duo in the Big 12, and maybe the nation, scored 27 of Kansas State’s 36 points in a hard-fought first half against a red-hot Baylor

    We get Ward ,Dog, and Ipower’s kid back plus add Tristan.

    Everybody comes back and we have a large cluster fuck rotation again. Barnes will try getting a tall white stiff hot for the season.

    Pretty lucky day so far with the Evan’s bomb to keep the future bet alive and then the two overs Diego is talking about.

    Looks like we’ll split the Byu and Washington overs. Profitable day and a lucky one at that. I’ll take it.

    Whatever Tebow scored on this test wouldn’t matter anyway, he will never start at QB. Classic SEC academics.

    Definitely agree, Dudek. The kid did what he needed to given the opportunity to solidify a spot. And he is in fact still playing with the Lebrons. He’s not a starter, nor should he be, but he fills a great role in limited time. I’ve watched several cavs games and he’s great from beyond the

    Gibson is very lucky and should give a percentage of his contract to Lebron. I will give him credit for stepping up in his rookie season when they needed an outside shooter. Bottom line is the guy can shoot it even if he is a 6′0″ two guard.

    Bateman gets it on Gibson. Any time a casual basketball guy brings up D-Gibby as one of the examples of successful Longhorn players I almost cringe. Look, I’m happy for the guy. He has a role in the league and can hit that 3, but…

    That team would be mediocre at best, likely bad without Lebron
