That 2013 title game appearance was a joke and you know it. From the phantom interference call in the Pitt game to the miracle of Manti T'eo, the whole sports world fell in love with the mystique of ND.
Bob Davie...George O'Leary (until he resigned before coaching a game)...Ty Willingham...Charlie Weis...academic issues...a rape allegation that was covered up (the alleged victim committed suicide)...your Irish are golden in helmet color only.
So much for Phil Simms' grand-standing on Washington's nickname...I tuned in for all of 30 seconds and heard him slip up and say the word 'Redskins'...
In his defense, he did say the potential for saying the word was there and that it's bound to happen.
Probably a pipe dream, but, boy, would URI be a nice fit in Hockey East along with Providence College, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, UMass, and the rest of the group out that way.
I don't know how you can argue that the original Tampa Bay helmet was a total fail when this chromified-gigantic logo mess is what they're wearing now...
which used to look absolutely fabulous...behold, the Warren Sapp/Derrick Brooks/Mike Alstott/John Lynch beauties!
If your boy Go-Go runs out of the box instead of doing a cocky bat toss and strutting his first five steps to 1B, he might have had a triple instead of a double for you. Still not quite the HR he obviously thought he had, LOL!
It's not just them...I saw it last year too. I guess it's OK if you WIN the wild-card game, sure, then you're in the playoffs, but getting to game #163 really doesn't count.
