just for the record, I would much prefer to live in a time where all it takes to support hundreds of good local jobs is to wake up every day and buy a newspaper for a nickel from a legally employed minor with a cool hat

Notre Dame AD Pete Bevacqua to DP Show on the ACC: "We were mystified by the actions of the conference to attack their biggest partner really in football...They have certainly done permanent damage to the relationship between the conference and Notre Dame."

My buddy David has been the Howard Beale of CFB all year and he's never been more right

Notre Dame's two losses were by a combined four points. Their most recent loss was on September 14th.
Alabama lost by 21 yesterday.

A first-world CFB problem but as my buddy David points out … Ohio State is #2, UGA is #3. They both played Texas. Buckeyes won by 7. Dawgs won by 25.
