IRISH UPDATE

For those of you chalice half-full Notre Dame fans:

Navy lost to I-AA Delaware today, 59-52.

Air Force lost to New Mexico, 34-31.

Duke is losing to Florida State, 22-0.

And Stanford lost to Oregon State, 23-6.

Three of Notre Dame's four remaining opponents have less than winning records. The Middies are 4-4; the Falcons are 6-3 ; the Blue Devils are 1-7; and the Cardinal is 3-5.

**********************

Malcolm Jenkins just picked off an ill-advised Anthony Morelli pass (can anyone develop mediocre quarterbacks better than Joe Paterno) and returned it for a TD. It's 34-10, Ohio State. I'm looking forwarder and forwarder to Ohio State-Michigan on November 17th.

ABC just did a montage of people who are in JoePa's age range. Guys like Tony Bennett, Paul Newman, Hugh Hefner. And those dudes from the Geico ads.
