The Curse on Lloyd Carr

Lloyd Carr will never win in South Bend, well, hopefully this will be his last chance. Today, September 16, 2006, will mark Mr. Carr's 4 visit to Notre Dame Stadium as the head coach of the Michigan Wolverines. He is currently 0-3 in South Bend, and soon to be 0-4. The curse shall live on, because how can you say that you were not nervous going into South Bend for the first time as a head coach. The ghosts of Notre Dame legends will haunt opposing head coaches forever, and to smugly say that you're not worried, well that just made it worse.

I'm sorry, did we forgot to tell you about our speed pills.

Well Mr. Mark May, it's should be pretty obvious to you now that Notre Dame's defense is for real. I don't care if Penn State was starting a QB for only the 2nd time, to most pundits he was supposed to come in after picking apart Akron. Please, if you were a true analyst, you knew that coming into South Bend for your second start wasn't going to be easy. Especially with an energized fan base, topped off with Charlie's version of the terrible towel. Then add in the fact that half of the student population shaved their heads with mohawks, inspired by a boxer who delivered several knock-out punches against the Nittany Lions.

Then a special treat for all of you Pennsylvania fans, Mr. Travis Thomas, the Weis created "Two-Headed Monster", taking a direct snap up the middle on a fake punt, then crashing into the end zone on another 4th down, like a runaway train. Did I mention he was from Pennsylvania? Yeah, just a little spit shine on the way home to rub it in. Corso, for a second straight week, you were wrong, and here's a message, stay away from the bandwagon, there's no room for you at all. Damn, with everyone jumping on after this week because of the D, we might have to get an add on trailer.

Calvin Johnson...Mr. Rambling Wreck!

Just a quick post about ND's 4 point victory over GT last weekend. Look, don't worry, this is not what we're going to see all year. Yes teams are going to come at us, yes, some of these games will be scary close, but that does not mean that it will be like this all year. September will be a tough month to handle if you're an Irish fan. The Irish simply play better teams, other than the rest of the top 25, give or take two or three teams. On the road, against a quality ACC team, one that upset Auburn at home, and Miami at home last year. Weis has quietly gone 6-0 on the road, not counting the Fiesta Bowl, and the only coach since Ara P. to go 2-0 on the road on the first game of the season, in his first two seasons. And without any surprise, the voters came down on us. Dropped us to 4 in the AP poll and 5 in the coaches poll. What does that mean? I can't tell you, other than the fact that those idiots wanted to hype up tOSU vs Texas this weekend. Wait, we went on the road, came back from 10 points down, held GT scoreless in the 2nd half, and won the game, we fucking won the game. See, it's a shame when winning against a quality team, on the road means nothing. So a big FUCK YOU goes out to all the poll voters this week, have fun in Austin with a bunch of players who can't stay off the drugs and guns (Texas), and a coach who tells his players to cheat(tOSU). It's too bad, because you could be hyping a story of two storied programs, that are tied in the all-time series, that have countless memorable moments, and will add more this weekend. Go Irish! Beat State!
