Two posts in two days. That is some kind of a record.
I needed to point out a great post over on The Rock Report:

He very clearly makes several points that I have strongly felt as well. Why is everyone assuming UM 'deserves' a rematch against tOSU? It would be unprecedented. ND was in a very similar position in '93 after beating FSU and then losing in a shocker to BC at the end of the season. Despite being ranked #2, ND was not given the opportunity for a rematch to repeat our win over FSU. Instead, after both teams won their bowl games, FSU was voted NC.
Back to Michigan. I saw most of the game and it didn't look that close to me. Why doesn't another team get a shot against tOSU? I am not saying that ND deserves a shot but I would be astonished if a one-loss SC, Florida, or WVU doesn't get a chance to play for the title. Just another example in the long string of examples why the NCAA needs a playoff.
Actually, I don't know why I am wasting my breath on this. My focus this week is on one thing - Beating Southern Cal!

Welcome to 2006
Wow. I've been gone a long time. So long that Blogger has been updated and there are lots of new capabilities. Google has enticed me to hang out here more and learn the few features.
Back to the subject at hand. Well, ND did better than expected last year, 9-3. And they are currently 10-1 going into the season finale at USC. I'll be at the game so I will provide my first-hand perspective later. For now I will say this - I expect the game to be competitive. I won't predict a win for the Irish since I don't want to jinx the team but I expect ND to play their best game of the year. Whether or not that translates into a win, we'll have to wait and see. I've given up on any NC aspirations this year. I will be happy with a bowl win and a top 5 finish. A Heisman for Brady would be very nice but it appears that the QB from tOSU has the inside track. Hard to believe that one of the best QBs to ever play at ND won't win the Heisman. Go figure.
Oh, and the Redskins? Don't get me started. At least they have the right QB finally playing. There is always next year.
