Football Nirvana

Thoughts on the weekend of college football can be summarized with one word..."overrated". No, not the sport. I love college football. This term, when applied specifically to Notre Dame, covers the biggest story of the weekend. If there is such a thing as a human equivalent to Notre Dame football, I want to be that person. Let's use work as an example. How great would it be if everyone thought of you as CEO material, even though you struggle with simple skills that you've supposedly mastered, such as reading and writing? You would show up at the office after lunch, put in just enough work to count it as a half day's effort. At the end of the day, everyone pats you on the shoulder and complitments you on how "gritty" you were to overcome your own lack of ability and actually make it to work at all, not to mention all the way until 5 o'clock. Everyone would also forget that you spread that email virus through the company network when you forwarded the "Lower Intrest Rates NOW" email to everyone or that you mistook the company's biggest client for the pizza delivery boy and forcefully demanded the free packets of parmesan cheese. I'd love that.

Oh, look everybody, that's Notre Dame football! Voted AP #2, yet couldn't tackle and couldn't block for most of the game, trails unranked Georgia Tech at the half and barely wins 14-10. Then, the national media can't stop talking about how good and underrated Georgia Tech was while conveniently forgetting to note that Notre Dame sucks. Wake up the echoes...
