A day well spent at the University of Notre Dame
I took a drive down to Notre Dame in South Bend on Good Friday and had a fun time. I brought along a friend photographer Kris Schmidt, and it was a fun day touring the campus and taking pics, visiting Touchdown Jesus and other different statues of different coaches in Notre Dames past history, coaches like Frank Leahy, and Knute Rockne, Knute helped Notre Dame Football win 3 National Titles,1924, 1929, 1930, 105 wins, 12 losses, 5 ties. What a coach that’s for sure, to only have 12 losses during the time of his coaching days at Notre Dame….amazing. I look forward to going to some Notre Dame Games this year to see Gunner Kiel, and look forward to seeing some big numbers from the Ohio Qb. For A good ole Irish Pub next to campus, stop by O’Rouke’s c Public House, great burgers, and beer, the best cole slaw in Indiana, and a great Irish Culture Atmosphere.
Good will hunting………
Well, Football Fans, life has been strange since Football has been in a stand still after the Super Bowl…….. Life is different that’s for sure. Where I live in the Chicagoland Area there has only been 4 snowfalls…… thats it, anybody believe in global warming ? I do. It doesn’t take a scientist to tell you the earth is getting warmer, it’s practical common sense, just look at the weather patterns, you don’t need a degree from MIT to figure out the weather is changing, save yourself 150,000, and go to the library and read, and get a few late charges, like Matt Damon said in Good will hunting……. I am starting a new job besides my website, I will be working at Starbucks serving coffee, yep should be good, and you get to network and meet alot of people……
I have alot to say about the recruiting class of the different colleges, it doesn’t matter how high your ranking in the class you get each year, because all of the players recruited might not mesh well together. So to put a importance on the recruiting class is a non issue, Texas has a pretty good recruiting class each year but not alot results. Joe Mckinight the fellow who plays for the New York Jets, who chose USC over LSU, well if he would of stayed home and went to LSU he would of won a National Title in 2007, as everyone knows USC took a turn for the worse and got 2 years of probation. This year they will be off probation, and perhaps back in the National Title Game playing LSU, the game that every fan always wanted to see…… the two schools that have a chance to meet up at the end of the year if they win out. That’s my prediction this year USC vs LSU in the National Title Game. LSU is favor by Las Vegas to win it all this year, 3 to 1 odds, those are some pretty good odds, and USC 6 to 1 odds to win it all. Well everyone have yourself a good weekend…..
NY GIANTS 21 New England Patriots 17……..
Amazing the New York Giants pulled it out in the last 2 minutes of the game, and gave the ball back to Tom Brady with 57 seconds to go, amazing that’s for sure. Eli Manning was the MVP of the game, and got a trip to Disneyland riding around with Mickey Mouse. Well, looks like Eli Manning is the new upcoming Joe Montana, he hasn’t lost a super bowl yet, just like Joe Montana, Montana competed in 4 super bowls and won them all, amazing feat, Terry Bradshaw did the same thing by winning 4 superbowl rings. My website has been averaging over 2,000 hits the last three days so I am very impressed, and thanks for stopping by daily college football fans…….
I am impress with the Giants, it seem they were gonna let down at some point, or New England was gonna take over the game, but neither one happen as the Giants went on to win the game. The biggest catch of the game was by the giants #82 Mario Manningham, who likes to tip toe on the sidelines and make big catches. Manningham’s catch changed the face of the game as the Giants march down the field to set up there go ahead touchdown to seal Super Bowl 46. The famous play of the game was Ahmad Bradshaw running up the middle on the 10 yard line and I guess they told him not to score, but he stood on the 1 yrd line and leaned back and fell into the endzone for the final score…… amazing, the other score came from Victor Cruz in the 1st quarter and Mr. Cruz did his favorite Salsa Dance in the endzone………. The halftime show with Madonna was pretty cool, she can still dance that’s for sure. I was impressed with the Egyptian clothes and outline theme, and Vogue had a big part with Madonna’s halftime show as they sponored the whole gig. Being from Baton Rouge Louisiana, I was impressed with the Southern University’s Dancing Dolls choreography, amazing as they flew to New York to meet Madonna. The Material Girl asked the Dancing Dolls to teach them something, very impressive for sure, wow and that was the Dancing Dolls 1st assignment in front of a large audience. That’s amazing in itself knowing that’s your 1st performance. Well the Dancing Dolls of Southern are the toast of the South…….. as they performed at the Lucas Oil Stadium, in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Joe Paterno passed away 1-22-2012
I am still amazed that Joe Paterno died, as I am surprised, and so are other fans thats for sure. Joe Pa served as a usher at Brooklyn Dodger Games, amazing. He went to Brown University, and was the quarterback as well, he also passed on going to Law School, his parents were surprised, Joe serve in the Army in 1932, he was a asst. coach making 3,600 salary per year in 1950,at Penn State after 16 yrs Joe took over at Penn State, Nittany Lions 1967 -1969 they won 32 games without a loss. Joe Paterno got upset because his team was undefeated in 1969, and President Nixon gave the championship to Texas who was no.1 at the time, and beat no.2 Arkansas. Penn State finish at no.2 and was undefeated. President Nixon gave Paterno a call and wanted to present Penn State with a trophy for the most undefeated wins in 2 seasons and Paterno told whoever answered the phone that he was not interested in talking to President Nixon and told him to keep his trophy……LOL, thats Joe Pa for you always speaking his mind. He spoke that way towards Tricky Dick…..oh boy….. Joe Pa did pass Bear Bryant as the winningest coach of all time, Oct.1,2001. Penn State won titles against Georgia 1982, and a Super Miami Hurricane team in 1986. Paterno has given millions to Penn State Library and University, and had a profound impact on alot of college football players. Joe Pa will be missed on and off the football field, may you rest in peace Joe Paterno, God Bless.
The Trustees of Penn State took a stand and fired Joe Pa……..
Penn State trustees say they took out Joe Paterno because the head coach didn’t meet a moral obligation to alert authorities about a child sex abuse allegation against Sandusky. The Associated Press interviewed the Trustees on thursday november 9th after the dismissal of Paterno. Graduate assistant, Mike McQueary former QB of the Penn State Lions, had a chance to break the whole scandal out in the open reported to Paterno and Paterno had a chance to tell the police, but chose to tell the school officials who chose not to do anything at all, until the story blew up in their faces. Joe Pa with all his influences, had no say of the outcome, and the trustees had all the say, knowing Paterno didn’t sound the horn. Paterno with alot of pull at the University had a chance to say or do something but I am sure he wanted the school officials handle the matter and he could focus on coaching football. The outcome is the fact the school didn’t say or do anything until the victims made reports to the police, which was this past year 2011. The school had no intentions of saying anything because they would of lost revenue and ticket sales, well it caught up with them, because the school is already losing alot of money, not too mention their history and reputation. A sad world we live in where we let a scandal like this take place, just for the sake of the almighty dollar and fan base. I wonder how many of the Trustees of Penn State knew about the scandal before it was uncovered, perhaps someone should investigate them too.
Sandusky was charged with dozens of child sex abuse counts four days before Paterno was asked to leave. I thought for sure when McQueary was on the stand in court he was gonna back down on his story, but chose to tell the truth, and speak up for the victims. Perhaps one day it will be a happy place in Happy Valley,Pennslyvannia and the University can put this dark cloud behind them and the town can move on with there lives. I know as a blogger and reporter its a very hard story to report on, but someone needs to talk about it and call out what needs to be said. The trustees took care of business and did the right thing. In the future we will see the outcome of Sandusky Case as well, as he goes to court.
