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.

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.

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?

I'm going with the third item in the poll below. I guess you need to click on Entry Link to vote in the poll.
