PURDUE YOU BELIEVE THIS #$%!
Purdue, facing 3rd-and-29 following Notre Dame's two best defensive plays of the season. And there is not a Notre Dame fan alive who did not know was coming next. Exactly. A "go" route up the right sideline, complete to Greg Orton for a 40-yard gain. Honestly, if you'd allowed me to bet on that one, I'd have taken the Sakebombers getting the first down.
We've seen this all before.
On the plus-side for Irish fans: Jimmy Clausen is 4-5 passing and has not been touched yet. Nice job, Irish O-line.
**************
Notre Dame played plenty of nickel and dime packages in the first quarter, which is fine. But if you give a passer such as Curtis Painter time to throw, it doesn't matter if you have Susan B. Anthony dollar packages. He'll pick you apart. I'd like to see the Irish rush seven and play man and just let the fur fly. Could it be any worse?

Oops! Clausen did it again, interception.
Now I feel bad for not reading live and chiming in with comments. Can't tell if L.A. was doing this because she knew I wasn't there to give my requisite comments, or because she lacked the mobility to do anything else.
Actually I hit the trifecta of being drugged up on vicodin at the time, immoble and trying to be as funny as you. A combination that had sad results in the comment section. Parts of a knee can be replaced -- which I am learning about all too well -- but G.A.'s witty commentary can never be duplicated, unless he hits the 'post' button twice.
