WEATHER, UNLIKE THIS GAME, IS UNPREDICTABLE
You know those games where the announcers say, "Absolutely nobody saw this coming"? For example, last week's Colorado at Georgia game. Well, this is not one of those games.
This is playing out, score-wise, about the way everybody who has a web site predicted it. The Irish will likely score in the 40s, while Purdue will finish in the 20s.
Also, if you happen to be a Notre Dame fan, you know those games when you feel as if the Irish are not getting any calls? This is not one of those games. The Irish have been flagged just once while Purdue has been flagged six times, one of them the most ticky-tack of late hits. To all Purdue fans who think you're getting a raw deal today, I'm with you.
That's not the difference in the game, though. Notre Dame's wideouts, especially Rhema McKnight, have had little trouble getting any separation today.
Is Carl Gioia really about to try a 47 yard field goal? He missed. Wait. Did Purdue really just get flagged again for a personal foul? At least Purdue is getting the ball.
BAD TV
The two worst things I saw on television today:
1. Tennesee at Memphis...Whose idea was it to air this? Does someone at ESPN owe Phil Fulmur a favor?
2. The Starbucks' Frappucino ad: I bet everyone in this ad owns a pair of Dockers. Know what I'm saying?
The ever-popular Officer Tim McCarthy, who puntificates on the evils of drunk driving between the 3rd and 4th quarters here on the P.A. announcer, had a tailor-made quip ready for today's game:
"Remember, never drive like an animal if it's raining cats and dogs."
