That would have been fun to see Gwoz stick it to DU.

Playing Navy IS in fact a tradition, as it was the Naval Academy that helped keep Notre Dame afloat when our grandparents were hunkering down in WWII in the 1940's. Notre Dame has an open-ended invitation to play Navy every year and considers the game to be a sort of debt repayment. I'm no fan of Notre Dame, but certainly appreciate their honor in this instance. If this was ANY other college, they'd wipe this game off the map as soon as possible to make bigger bucks playing someone else. Kudos to Notre Dame for keeping this seemingly one-sided rivalry alive. Anchors aweigh!

Given the school's antics and defense of pretty much any and every player they can, what exactly did Randy Moss do to get kicked out of school there?

That's just your beer goggles talking!

Like a boss!

Oh, in addition to your many other fine skills, you are also fluent in gfhockey?

I'm talking about my personal Irish fan friends blowing up my phone after the game, Johnny. As far as Stanford, watch the play. At no point in time does any official blow the play dead. Taylor is still wiggling while Manti is sprinting off the field to celebrate at which point official "H" runs in to spot the ball. Taylor's on a pile of bodies and no part of his own body is touching the ground. The ball is clearly across the goal line but H spots it just short of the goal line. Then they go to replay about "excessive celebration"? HUH?

Waaaaaaaaaaah! All of my Notre Dame fan friends are crying about the offensive pass interference call last night. They've apparently forgotten about the 2012 "Phantom Whistle" play against Stanford on what was ruled no TD for Stepfan Taylor (skip forward to 2:07 mark and go thru about 5:31)... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6fNZK2WwFY Legs still churning...Taylor on top of other players but no knee or elbow down...no whistle and officials continue watching Taylor put the ball over the goal line...that one's a mystery. Also, earlier in that same game, Stanford had a 3rd and 2 and the ball was handed off to Taylor on what appeared to be an offsides play. A phantom whistle from the crowd could be heard, Stanford's line stops and Taylor stops as he is handed the ball...before being tackled by an ND player. The ruling on the field? No whistle from the officials, 4th and 9 Stanford. I cannot find a video of that play but it is mentioned in several instances in various blogs...and not only from Stanford fan sites. Here are a couple of them: http://articles.southbendtribune.com/2012-10-13/sports/34436582_1_whistle-taylor-stanford-coach-david-shaw http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/notre-dame-home-games-fake-ref-whistles-and-pattern And here's another article regarding the Stanford game as well as the Pitt game. Unfortunately, the video for the phantom pass interference call against Pitt in the 4th quarter no longer exists. By this point in the season, the Notre Dame "mystique" and the nation's desire to believe the Manti T'eo hype were out of control. It's as if the whole country just couldn't stand to see the Irish lose...and don't get me started on link #2 and Notre Dame's two-players-wearing-the-#2-jersey on the field for Pitt's missed field goal in OT. Illegal participation, penalty, re-do the kick. But the officials curiously missed that too, not that anyone should be surprised... http://thefixisin.net/notredame.html http://subwayalumnistation.blogspot.com/2012/11/notre-dame-jersey-number-controversy.html

oh yea? how many nattys does he...nevermind. Congrats to coach Hakstol!

Completely agree on that...darks at home are lame.

...and the night is complete after a scan of the crowd shows about 3-5 white guys in full Indian headdress and "war paint" on their faces...

The only jersey match-up that might be better than last night's Detroit whites vs Toronto blues would be... ...tonight's Detroit reds vs Toronto whites! 1-0 Detroit tonight as Zetterberg pots one with 9.9 seconds left in OT. Triple bonus points for saving us all from another shoot-out!

Dear God, Thanks. Bison fans (who also cheer for Notre Dame) already have enough nice things. MafiaMan

Years. You're confusing me with gfhookey.

Per gfhockey: gobc meeting still on for Monday. The boys didn't like Hakstol's tie tonight.

You guys are right...memory is fuzzy after 40.

AT Colorado College?

So you're sayin' it's a sweep? What's that, the first time at CC in 10 or 11 years?

I've cracked another code: the key is keeping Oxbow6 occupied and off the board on Friday and Saturday nights.

This one in particular I had made note of...only to forget where it was.

OHMYGOSH! I didn't even realize that it was at one point 42-0 Missouri in that game! Will might not have a job come Monday.

I think you're correct...he might not outlast Brady Hoke.
