Over the Shoulder: Wednesday

Thursday, January 4th, 2007

Over the Shoulder looks at the previous day:

Charlie Weis and Notre Dame are an embarrassment to the BCS. Losing 41-14 is bad but doing it after the whining Weis did earlier in the year is priceless. In fact, no team in the top 20 received as much hype and was as poor as the Fighting [...]

Notre Dame Escapes Sugar Bowl With Loss

Thursday, January 4th, 2007

Tradition, excellence, and football glory; makes you think of Boise Sate doesn’t it. It certainly isn’t present at Notre Dame and last night’s 41-14 street beating administered by LSU does irreparable harm to the image of the mighty Irish.

Albert Einstein, Murray Gell-Mann, and Richard Feynman. All are considered genius level minds and each changed physics in a fundamental way. That the word genius is used on Charlie Weis is both comical and idiotic. If he’s said to be a genius, even at football, the results prove otherwise.
USC dominated and humiliated the Notre Dame [...]

Sunday, October 29th, 2006

What a week-end. Granted there are a few games in progress and the thrilling nightcap that’s the Cowboys-Panthers but here are The Critics thoughts on what was…

Chris Leak says he thinks he played with a concussion. Tim Tebow chimed in that he can spell cat.
