No should let them score with @2 min left. Well that was qucik, the other way though.

Oh' When the Saints, Go marching in,
To the Superbowl this year,
They will pick off Peyton Manning,
And run right past him in tears.

Is cleaning up.  Former and current adversaries such as Jon 'Stewart' Weiciwisc and The Mayor of San Francico now are willing guest on The Factor.  For the 2nd half of last decade the Left retaliated against conservaitive Fox news by pressuring Democrats not too appear; with the usual intolerance to those who did.  Even John Kerry wouldn't appear in 04, to his detriment.  There was some semblance of a ratings war as MSNBC tried to capture the left wing viewership. 

It was painfully obvious as Fox could not get Democratic guests.  Many of their 'guests' were their own pundits recycled over and over again; Karl Rove, Bernard Golderg, Dennis Miller, Newt, with only Juan Williams being a moderate voice.  I thought they were off the deep end when Hannity and Colmes dropped the pretense of fair and balanced and became Hannity.

But the people voted with their remotes and Fox smashed the other cable networks.  Having Gavin Newsome on Fox would have been unthinkable a year ago.  But now it can't be controlled.  I think if Democrats want their opinions to be heard by working class people then they will need to get airtime on Fox News.   Ha.

Show some energy on ESPN.  There is an outside chance that Henderson is watching and thinking.

National Sighing Day

The dogs play 7-card stud?
Here is the most informative post from last night on NDnation, with results:

The following will sign with ND of the still unknowns:

Matt James    Notre Dame
Christian Jones  Florida St
Jeremy Ioane    Boise St. 
Kona Schwenke Notre Dame

The following will sign elsewhere:

Ego Ferguson   LSU
Seantrel Henderson   'undeclared until 5:00pm; presume USC'
Dietrich Riley   UCLA/USC
Corey Cooper  Nebraska

So really no suprises.  Most of this class was ironed out in the coaching change when we solidfied the 2 above but lost super WR Prater to USC and badly needed DE Chris Martin to somewhere.

Worst News:  The shenanigans by Urban Liar and Lame K all worked into top recruiting classes.  That's just nuts since both programs look to be in trouble yet can convince the 5* players to come anyway.    Both of these schools compete with ND, in fact UM tends to target good players who give early verbal commitments to the Irish, so their success is bad for us. 

Good News:  We didn't lose Dlineman Nix or QB Hendrix.  Hendrix looked great in the youtube but allegedly his senior year did not go well.  We may have only landed 2 of the 8 in question.  But at least Brigham Young Coach Bronco Mendenhall's strong-arming tactics on Schwenke worked about as well as the attempted religious guilt trip put on Manti Teo last year; 2 Mormons to Notre Dame, thank you sir.

I read a newspaper at the laundromat last week.  I hadn't picked one up in 6 months.  It seemed so quaint, so cumbersome.  Odd that people would transmit information by printing it on a piece of paper, loading it into a truck, and shipping it the reader.  Just a relic from the mechanical age before digital.

Meanwhile more still remains.  I lugged 2 books of more than a thousand pages each from home to class and back for a mile.  Maybe the kindle is worth a look, since I techinically am renting the text books, I don't own them.

Is This the Historic Age?

The Law School Dean emailed us to mention that the "historic" gathering of the fired US Attorneys had been "picked up by the blogosphere."  Does he know that last week's DNC fundraiser was picked up by my blog? 

Two strongly Democratic guest speakers in the first two weeks.  What are the odds?

In a move that the Schwenke family did not want to happen BYU informed them that they would pull their scholarship from Kona Schwenke should he visit Notre Dame this coming weekend.

I have fipped to CBS from the McLaughlin group about 4 times and it's always a commcercial.  Are they actually playing a football game today?

Go Jets!?  Can't believe I am favoring New York City (or is it New Jersey) over Indiana, but after 2004 and 2006 I will never pull for Peyton Manning in an AFC championship game, or any game for that matter.  NFL made me relive the 2006 game at CAZ on friday.  The non-call on the Pats penultimate drive was worthy of Big10 refereeing.  I bet most Belichek felt entitled to cheat...
go jets.

EDIT:  That's why you're the NY Jets

80 pages to read for first Legal Advocacy class with an emailed promise "I know this is a lot but we won't be discussing much of it in class."  Meaning I am speedreading trying to gues what we will.  Also she front loaded the reading and there is no more after the 3rd class really.  Sigh...  I am going to have to do a class by class breakdown.

Otherwise I am starting on my decision from last October to reorganize living space.  I should have taken a picture on my initial setup which had the couch sticking out across the middle of the room with my computer behind it... lol.

on Kelly's spread offense, actually an interview with a guy from smartfootball.com.  No mention of the pressure that it puts on your own defense though because they are out on the field a lot.

Meanwhile I went calendar shopping after my car was finally running. Pickings were slim. Acceptable was a Civil War Heroes, which would be fine if the numbers didn't take up nearly half of the white box for each day. Alternatively Walmart has a "Beauty of Arizona" or something that takes color enhancement to the least colorful scenery in America.

Special Guest Lecture

We have a Harvard prof visiting to lecture on healthcare, a lawyer of course, not a doctor.  Her first words were to express "disappointment" on the election of Scott Brown and how that "toughens" the challenge of the "historic" election of Obama.

One party "Sees political advantage in saying no"  the other "can't get it's act together"  

I am sure our fearless Dean will maintin balance and bring a conservative counterpoint and make listening to him likewise requred.   LOLZ.

"Stalling Franken...they forgot about Leiberman"  boo-hoo 
"Obama talked quite frankly about redistributive issues"  true
"He talked about openly about higher taxes" false.

What is this?  A DNC fundraiser?  I don't think I'll bore you with further notes.

EDIT:  One note, there was no mention of tort reform in a speech about healthcare reform.  Can you tell we are in a law school?

Yelling at the TV

Bill Shut Up.  I haven't yelled at The Factor in a while, but I did tonight, in the empty room.  O'Reilly is interviewing two grieving parents but he will not shut up for 10 seconds and keeps interrupting their emoting.  The left websites will love that clip.  

France, Pay Attention. French minister slams the US occupation of Haiti. Outrageous, an army in Haiti that isn't losing?

Hit Me  (not yelling anymore)  We concluded Property with a brief mention of Uston vs Atlantic City where I believe they ruled that you can count cards in AC.  I pointed out to the class that they can lower the table limit to 1$.  Kind hearted neighbor remarked "Most useful thing we learned all class."

Hit Me  As if on cue, TNG is showing the old Casino Royale episode where Data plays blackjack and craps.
