Tournament Challenge

How come nobody is discussing it. I want a chance to gloat about the fact that I'm tied for first in the Black Shoe Diaries group. I know for a fact that if we looked at score compared to the amount of time invested making the picks, I would be way ahead given that I did absoulutely no research. I don't follow basketball, but I've been in and followed enough wrestling touraments to understand that most of the time the higher seed wins. I just picked the higher seed in each game except when 8 played 9. I'll probably drop in the Final Four since I just guessed randomly. I don't even know whom I should be routing for since I don't remember what I picked & I'm not willing to take the time to look it up. It's not like I'm going to watch any of the games this weekend anyway.

Theory about Notre Dame

I was just thinking. Maybe the ND administration knew what it was doing extending Weis's contract.

I mean think about it ... who would care about a ND team that is 6-6 or 4-8 every year? Everyone will talk about them going 0-12, right? Wouldn't you want to see them set records for ineptitude?

A bunch of bad, but not terrible seasons & they fade to obscurity. Maybe they figured the only way anyone would care about ND long term is if they are one of the worst teams ever.

Just a theory ... a little tongue in cheek, maybe, but who knows. :)

Anyone who picks number three in the poll below needs serious help.

Our D overrated?

Bob Davie thinks our defense is overrated. Check this link: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/notebook?page=gamedayKickoff073 . On the right side, about a quarter of the way down, there is a section titled: "Question and Answer".

It has to be a joke, right?
