    Unless basic math is different at Princeton than everywhere else in the Euclidian world, 20 years ago was 1989. In 1989, Notre Dame was 12-1, losing only to Miami, the eventual National Champions that year. Notre Dame went on to beat Colorado 21-6 in the Orange Bowl. I think 1989 is also the year that Notre Dame first signed a contract with NBC. Irrelevant, my eye, Princeton Boy.

    Do you really hate ND that much that you would stoop so low as to insult a man on his physical attributes(Charlie)? For a moment there I thought you were going to discuse the football program. My bad! And Yes, Jimmy Clausen IS good enough to go 1st round this year or the next. I wish he would stay one more year, but I don't blame him for going. Good luck with your writing future, Scottie. You might want to drop the personal insults.

    Princeton, certainly would never fire a coach simply because he gas a losing record.

    Hey, look! They teach satire at Princeton! Not good satire, just the labored Ivy League sort, where they make fun of a man for being fat, which is soooo not the desired body type of the northeast prep school crowd.

    This show sounds awesome. I apologize for all of my fellow Notre Dame fans typing in ALL CAPS and whining about a five-year math error placing our era of futility earlier than the 1994 season. Dudes, in addition to the 15 mins we get on ESPN, College Football Live, and ESPNnews every hour, columnists in school papers completely unaffiliated with Notre Dame are covering Notre Dame. Its a funny column. Don't take your anger out on him.

    Scott, nice attempt at satire. Half of it worked and had me laughing at my alma mater's bumbling, the other half seemed like the same recycled stuff that's been hacked out (really, another fat joke?). But, as I'm sure you've seen, the ND crowd rarely accepts half-successes.

    Still, it was a good break from grading your classmates' problem sets. Go Irish!
