Do you believe in miracles??? Ok so maybe it wasn’t the 1980 Olympic hockey miracle, but bang The Snooze anyway!!!!!!
top 5 rivalry games you should care about
Football season is creeping up on us faster then a Florida Gator running from the po-po’s so now is a great time to look at the top 5 rivalry games you should watch out for this season. Before we jump into it let’s set some guidelines for the list.
History Matters – One of the best things about college football is the rich deep tradition that it has. We care more about rivalries that have spawned tradition for and love the animosity that it brings.
Is the rivalry competitive - If it is less of a rivalry and more like John Matrix blowing heads off in Commando then its not a real rivalry. Take for example USC and Notre Dame.

Want to know what Phil has to say about the upcoming 2009 season???
An ode to the not so Fightin’ Irish…
I love College Football! Nothing beats a fall Saturday filled with grilled meats, iced drinks, scantily clad co-eds and fascinating football games spread over 12 hours. I love watching two powerhouse programs go at it for 60 minutes in front of 100,000 screaming fans. Besides my hatred for the Maize and Blue pansies from Ann Arbor, there really is only one thing I find confusing and completely wrong with college football…wait for it…the obsession this country has for the Notre Lame Fightin Irish!
Football at Yankee stadium?
Chunky Charlie is at it again. According to ESPN Notre Dame is in talks to play the first game of football at the old Yankee stadium. Notre Dame AD Jack Swarbick told the New York Times “we have been in contact with Yankee Stadium and asked and inquired.
