Well Educated....But Still...Stupid

What a moron...By now everyone has seen the videos of this idiots' latest rants.  He has insulted an institution ...Notre Dame.   A religion....Catholics.   And an entire section of America...the SEC.

Funny thing...he will still have his job.   As embarrassing as he has been to Ohio State,  there really is nothing that can be done to remove him...legally.

Wow,  this doesn't happen often....this is courtesy of ....Fox News:


Verbal gaffes by Ohio State University presidentGordonGeehave long been a source of amusement and headaches at the school, whether he was calling the state governor a dummy two decades ago or more recently likening the challenges of holding together university divisions to the Polish Army.

Relevant....Once Again?

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team is relevant... once again.  And that is a good thing for College Football.

In this country there is a love-hate relationship with this school never seen by any other institution.

Notre Dame last played for a title in 1988.  Some 24 years ago.  The Irish have survived the likes of Charlie Weis,  Ty Willingham and Bob Davie....who all had winning records,  but could not elevate the program and were eventually fired.

Enter Brian Kelly.  He has succeeded  in  changing the culture.  He has made believers of his players and has Notre Dame once again at the door of a National Championship.

From the New York Times:

Notre Dame 22, U.S.C. 13

Anxiety Turns to Ecstasy for the Irish

When the season started, many pundits tabbed U.S.C. as the top team. Instead, Notre Dame entered Saturday’s game undefeated, and left that way, too, en route to the national title game in January.

Hump Day.....News & Views

A few things.......we're following:


From GaPeach913:

Notre Dame Has First Black Valedictorian

A 21-year-old woman will make history May 16 at the University of Notre Dame

By AIXA VELEZ
A Gary, Indiana native will make history next month as the first black valedictorian from the University of Notre Dame.
Katie Washington, 21, is a biology major and minor in Catholic social teaching with a 4.0 GPA.
“I am humbled,” said Washington to the Northwest Indiana Times. "I am in a mode of gratitude and thanksgiving right now.”
University officials said they couldn’t recall ever having a black valedictorian, and don’t keep record of their race.

Rihanna Cheers Matt Kemp's Home Run

While trying to go unrecognized in a blue hoodie and white shades, Rihanna cheered on her boyfriend Matt Kemp's home run at the Dodger's opening game in L.A. on Tuesday.


With the Dodgers beating the Diamondbacks 9-5, time will tell if RiRi really is their Kate Hudson good luck charm.


Thou shalt not carry weapons....and get caught:

Gilbert Arenas Gets Squashed in Halfway House

Washington Wizard Gilbert Arenas has his plate full during his 30-day stint at a Maryland halfway house -- and let's just say he won't be hurting for a well-balanced meal.

TMZ obtained the dinner menus for the Montgomery County Pre-Release and Reentry Center in Maryland where Arenas' fine dining options include: scalloped chicken, chicken parmesan, spinach lasagna, steamed carrots, squash, and ... vanilla ice cream. 

Arenas' sentence for his gun-slinging locker room standoff with a teammate began on Friday.


Have a great.....Hump Day!

Things we Learned Saturday.......

Yes, FOX.....and the rest of America -- There will be a game 7. J. D. Drew awakened from a season long hibernation to have the game of his career as the Redsox blew out the Indians 12-2. I'll be the first to a

dmit -- I had all but counted Boston out. We should have learned our lessons 2 years a
go when these same Boston Redsox overcame a 3-0 deficit against the Yankees to win that ALCS.





Sometimes......you just are what you are. Poor South Carolina......poised to take sole possession of the SEC east and land a trip to the championship game in Atlanta.......The unthinkable happens.....They get punked by Vanderbilt. The 'cocks, along with their no. 6 ranking are now just another Carolina team that fades late in the season.


Laughing at Notre Dame has reached the point where it really isn't funny any more. The Irish suffered their second worst home lost .......ever. USC destroyed the Irish -- even in those pukey green uniforms.....And the natives are getting restless.


South Bend Tribune: "Where's ND's progress?"



Tim Tebow is one tough white boy. Tebow willed the Gators to victory over a Kentucky team that featured Heisman candidate Andre Woodson. It seemed every time Kentucky pulled close -- Tebow would do something spectacular and the Gators were scoring again.



LSU may never lose at home.....at night.......ever again. Auburn had the Tigers beat. A magnificent back and forth game saw Auburn taking a seeming winning lead (24-23) with just seconds left. Enter Demetrius Byrd.......Bryd makes a fabulous catch as time runs out to give LSU the come from behind 30-24

victory. By far.......the game of the week end.

In the strange but true category -- Appalachian State.....yes that Appalachian State .....lost ....at home to Georgia Southern, 38-35.

Vandy's win over the Gamecocks was its first win ever in 15 tries against Steve Spurrier and the highest -ranked opponent the Commodores' defeated in 70 years.
