Fightin' Irish Football In 2012

So my brother is saying that Notre Dame will be a contender next year. This is an extremely bold statement, especially after watching the abortion of a game they played on Saturday against Stanford. Stanford didn't look that great either by the way. Notre Dame always plays a difficult schedule and gets every teams best. Let's break down their 2012 schedule.

2012 ND Schedule

Sept. 1		Navy (Dublin, Ireland) - Win
Sept. 8		PURDUE - Win
Sept. 15		at Michigan State - Loss
Sept. 22		MICHIGAN - Loss
Sept. 29		Open Date
Oct. 6		MIAMI (Soldier Field) - Win
Oct. 13		STANFORD - Win
Oct. 20		BYU - Win
Oct. 27		at Oklahoma - Loss
Nov. 3		PITTSBURGH - Win
Nov. 10		at Boston College - Win
Nov. 17		WAKE FOREST - Win
Nov. 24		at USC - Loss

There you have it folks 8 wins and 4 losses. It's good enough to be Bowl elidgable, but not in the national championship hunt. The Boston College game could go either way too. They always play ND tough and have the game at home. The Miami game depends on the field. If the field is in good condition and it's a nice day ND is in real trouble. Miami is lightening quick.

I hope Notre Dame does better then this. You have to cheer for a program that has some academic standards. A lot of the guys on the top ten programs can barely read, but they sure can play football.....

Friday College Games

Arkansas

LSU -12 o/u 52

LSU is going to win this game, there's no debating that. What's up for debate is the amount. I can't take LSU to cover 12 so I would stay away from the spreads all together. The easy money here is the o/u. No way these teams are going over 52. Arkansas may score 10 and there's no way LSU is putting up more then 40 against a good Arkansas defense.

Pitt

West Virginia - 6.5 o/u 57

I hammer WV here. Pitt is terrible on the road. It's actually sad to see the Pitt program fall so far, but no one will shed a tear in WV. Pitt ruined a couple championship runs in this game.

How To Fix Penn State

This is a multi-year plan for Penn State to come back to prominence and if done correctly, become even bett

er then before.

This year

Play it out with who you have and at the end of the season get rid of anyone associated with the incident that knew about it, probably knew about it and are staying quiet and guys that should have known about it. Gut the facility so it looks nothing like it did. This could take all of 2012, but that shower and locker room need to be destroyed.

2012 - maybe 500

Keep the current coach Tom Bradley in place and play it out. You're maybe going to be around .500 and perhaps

make a bowl. This is a throw away year. Recruiting is going to be terrible and you don't expect to make a bowl. The poor record and commitments gives the AD a chance to clean house. After the season you fire all personal that were there during the 2011 mess. This will help with the negative recruiting that's going to be rapent for the next couple years. No one here knew about what was happening.

2013 - under 400, no bowl

You go after Urban Meyer! Write him a blank check and get him to come in. He can turn this around and his integrity is above reproach. He can hand pick his staff. If he's not available or willing to come you have to get a big name coach who can recruit and has integrity. You have to go outside the Penn St family. The family is defunct. You have a brand new facility.

The legend of Joe Pa is a couple years old so it's not as prevalent. At this point Joe may have passed away, he just let everyone know he has lung cancer.

2014 - under 500, maybe a Bowl Game

Urban's first year recruiting is decent, probably doesn't break the top 25, it takes a while to set up scouts and such. There's a ton of excitement around the program though.

2015 - over 500, Bowl Game

Top 25 recruiting class. Beat Ohio State and have a great year

2016 - Over 500, Bowl Game

Top 25 recruiting class. Firing on all cylinders. The fastest team in the Big 10.

2017 - Win Big 10, Major Bowl

Top 10 recruiting class.

Joe who???

After Thanksgiving Golf!

So if you haven't noticed I've really gotten away from golf here. We're doing one last hurrah for the year this Friday at Tashua Glen. I've never played there before, but the Knoll was booked up so we're giving it a shot. I'm hitting it up with The Kid, Digital and Pacman. Pacman is bringing a bottle of makers mark and Digital wants to do a beer a hole so it should get wild. Course looks fine in the pictures online, but we'll see what it looks like in November

The BCS Championship Breakdown

So the Oklahoma St loss messes up the while bcs as of now. I think it opens it up to a handfull of teams. Don't worry it will be sorted out and we'll have a clear number two. The two best teams in the country are LSU and Alabama, we may get a rematch. I also think whoever comes out of the SEC will with the championship. If it's LSU or Alabama it may be a 35 to 6 win.

SEC
Lsu - Win out and you're in. They just have to beat Arkansas next week. They'll cruise throught the SEC East.

Alabama - needs Oregon to struggle and dominating wins in their last couple games. I'm talking 30pt romps! It's going to be difficult, the SEC haters will do anything to prevent an all SEC championship.

Arkansas - They need to beat LSU next week. Not an easy task. If that happens we'll have a mess in the SEC West. Who ever comes out of the West and wins the SEC championship will be in the BCS Championship against Oregon.

SES East teams - not worth discussing. Any team from there will lose to any of the three teams mentioned above in the second championship. Watch out for Florida next year though.

Big 12
2 team race

Oklahoma - Terrible loss to Texas Tech cost them big. They need to destroy OK St next week and win the big 12 championship. Even with that they'll need a lot of help

Oklahoma St - Chances are done even if they win out. Lost to a terrible team late in the year.

Pac 12
Oregon - if they win out big they're in. If they lose or play a close game alabama could get the spot if they dominate.

Stanford - Finally everyone sees that they were overrated all year. They're finished, no chance unless all other teams mentioned get a second loss.

ACC

A team from the ACC really needed an undefeated season to make a serious claim.

Clemson - They need to win out and destroy everyone they play. They also need other teams to struggle and a couple to lose.

Virginia Tech - Need to win out, destroy Clemson on the ACC Championship and a lot of help from other teams. Not gonna happen.

Big 10

No team from here has a chance at the Championship.

Big East

No team from here has a chance at the Championship.

Locks Of The Weekend

Get paid and laid!!!!

Nebraska

Michigan -3.5

Michigan isn’t back at full force yet after the Rich Rod mess. They’ll drop this at home.

Penn St

Ohio St -6.5

I would hammer Ohio State. Penn State is going be in shock and get destroyed. They're going to be heckled so hard at OSU. These kids aren’t ready to fight without Joe. They were decent last week when they were at home with the support of senior day. They may lose the rest of their road games this year.

BC

ND -24.4

Take BC, they always play ND well and this spread is too big. ND doesn't want to play them anymore, but can't get out of the contract.

Tebow Does It Again

I don't know what else can be said after Tebow beat the Jets last night. He drove them 95 yards for a TD, accounting for 92 himself.

Oscar De La Hoya Smashed With A Suit?????

So this is what it's come to? Oscar is being sued by some chick who's saying he held her against her will or some garbage. I may be wrong, but this chick looks an awful lot like a pro to me and I don't mean professional boxer.

So Oscar met this chick on her "modeling" site and invited her to dinner then up to his place. If smells like a duck, looks like a duck and quacks like a duck it's usually a hooker Right there she should have stopped it if she wasn't down for action. This girl isn't 12, she knows what the deal is. I know that no one deserves to be attached and that women have the right to say no, but don't put yourself in these situations and this stuff won't go down. Total BS lawsuit. I hope Oscar mops the floor with her.

The cross dressing thing is weird. Don't really get it. This guy was my favorite boxer for a long time. He'll fight the best even if he may lose and he often did. He went and fought though and usually in their weight classes. He didn't duck anyone and legitimized a lot of careers. The cross dressing thing will be blown away soon enough just like this ho.

Packers Could Go Undefeated

The Packers destroyed the Viking last night. I could lie and say I watched the entire game, but I didn't. You knew who was going to win after the first quarter. Aaron Rodgers is the best QB in the game. Brett at his peak wasn't this good. He wasn't even close actually. In celebration of this Brett and the Vikings can bend over and take it.

Bye Bye Boise State

Thank God we don't have to listen to the Boise State national championship nonsense again. They can't even win out in the garbage division they play in, how are they going to beat the big boys in the SEC, Big 12 and Big 10? Answer: They wouldn't! If they played in the SEC they'd have 3 losses every year and would be an after thought.

I'm looking for a LSU vs OK St National Championship game if OkState can take Oklahoma. If not Alabama is back in I think.

Sloppy Joe

So Joe was fired on Thursday. I don't know what took Penn State so long. He had to go! Now the rebuilding begins. They need to clean house. Get rid of almost everyone involved with football and of course everyone that had even an inkling that this was going on and did nothing. How did all these people do nothing?! It really boggles the mind. I know college football isn't the most ethical thing going, but come on! You see a 10 year old getting raped, YOU STOP IT! This shouldn't be an ethical debate.

It's too bad a couple thousand students are making all of the student body see like morons. It's like politics, the dumber you are the louder you yell and hope no one notices you're not making any sense.
