congratulations to NOTRE DAME, who went into norman and kicked the crap out of the sooners. i still have my doubts about their offense but the schedule indicates a 12-0 season and a berth in the FIESTA BOWL against KANSAS STATE or OREGON. the irish are not quite good enough to play in the big game but they're better than i thought.
"BIG GAME" BOB STOOPS???????????
this guy couldn't outcoach his mother in a big game. this is the same guy who opened the door for BOISE STATE'S whining over the last 5 years when he spit the bit as a 25 point favorite and lost 43-42 .
he was also outcoached by LSU in 2003 when the sooners were a 10 point favorite for the national championship and lost 21-14. and don't forget when they were also the favorite in the title game against FLORIDA in 2008 and got dumped 24-14. and then saturday, with a chance to move right back into the title game picture, they roll over and play dead AT HOME 30-13. check his bowl record. they only win the minor bowls, which is all they deserve. garbage.
i can GUARANTEE you one thing next saturday NIGHT in baton rouge. EVERY notre dame fan in the world will be rooting for LSU to drop ALABAMA because a 'bama win pretty much shuts the door on the irish reaching the top of the rankings because they'll have to have help from either OREGON or KANSAS STATE to make the bcs title game. the ducks have a tough closing schedule but k-state has a shot at a flawless record for the regular seaso, which would slam the door in the leprechaun's face. and then there's a small matter of winning at USC. at least it's interesting. my christmas wish? i would love to see a LSU-notre dame championship game. mercy!
the worst overall sports program in the big ten? that's right....YOUR FIGHTING ILLINI. football, hoops, baseball, whatever, they out & out suck and belong in the mid-america conference. just terrible talent from the administration on down.
most over-rated program in the big ten? the WISCONSIN BADGERS. again, take your pick of sports because fat, slow & stupid NEVER wins anything. and the sad part is they'll be playing nebraska for the right to represent the big ten in the rose bowl when their conference record COULD BE.......drum roll please..........3 wins and 5 losses. how sick is that?
at the other end of the spectrum, it appears that the SEC might qualify TEN teams for bowl games and they'll all have winning record. what a difference.
see you in death valley saturday night. geaux tigers!

CHICAGO ANNOUNCERS
if life wasn't bad enough already for the chicago cubs, it actually got worse this week when WGN television analyst BOB BRENLY resigned after eight years on the job. brenly is quite simply one of the best in the business and his partnership with LEN KASPER was pure honey. without argument, they were the best baseball team announcers on chicago television and when paired with PAT HUGHES on the radio side, the cubs rated #1 in announcers. (excluding KEITH MORELAND, who should find another line of work)
brenly had originally replaced STEVE STONE in the color chair but like stone, was eventually overcome by the stench on the north side and is rumored to be heading to arizona to replace the drunken MARK GRACE on television or possibly going national. he could replace TIM McCARVER, who is JOE BUCK'S partner on FOX. mccarver just turned 71 and has done it all in 30+ years of broadcasting, winning three emmys along with being inducted into the broadcaster's wing of the hall of fame this past summer. at his age, mccarver has seen it all and might be ready to slow it down.
and what of the empty chair in the chicago television booth? KERRY WOOD would be a disaster. RICK SUTCLIFFE is a pretty good analyst and has a cubs background but maybe that's a bad thing.
how about this? STEVE STONE! stone, who left the cubs in 2006 when he felt the owners didn't back him or CHIP CARAY after DUSTY BAKER didn't like their honesty in the booth, is also one of the best in the business and does not have a good relationship with HAWK HARRELSON. stone has just one year left on his contract and a very good friendship with JERRY REINSDORF. hawk ain't going anywhere so it's possible that reinsdorf could let stone walk early to clear up the friction. and that would totally cripple the media part of the white sox.
ED FARMER & DARREN JOHNSON are absolute crap on the radio and i truly believe that i and my friend pete could do a better job and we have zero experience in the booth. they just suck. HAWK is the ultimate homer but his act has worn thin thru the years. if stone leaves, it would be the perfect time to retire hawk and send the other two walking.
and thank goodness that we're solid in all the other major chicago sports. PAT FOLEY & EDDIE OLCZYK rule the hockey air waves, NEIL FUNK & STACEY KING make the bulls tv broadcasts perfect and CHUCK SWIRSKY teams well on the radio side with BILL WENNINGTON. the bears are also very good with JEFF JONIAK & TOM THAYER. now if we could just clear up that mess on the south side.

ASSORTED THOUGHTS FOR YOU
first of all, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to all cub fans as it was nine years ago yesterday when my good friend, STEVE BARTMAN, changed the momentum of game six of the nlcs when he LEGALLY attempted to catch a foul ball down the left field line. he is forever my hero.
speaking of the cubs, a recent poll of national sportwriters put the cubs as the worst team in the league for NEXT YEAR with colorado finishing second.
"by far, the worst team in the last 30 years in MLB" said one scribe, "they simply have no players other than castro & rizzo." when asked how many games the cubs would lose in 2013, the consensus of 18 reporters was 112! be still my heart.
the WHITE SOX frustrated the hell out of their fans by doing a late september swan dive. leading by three games with ten to go, they went 2-8 and sunk like a rock. the team was a pleasant surprise and was in first place for 113 days but the 2013 edition could look drastically different as AJ, JAKE PEAVY & GAVIN FLOYD may be wearing other uniforms.
if bears fans think that the packers' talent level has dropped off, did you see that dismantling of the undfeated texans last night? wow. we all know the bears can't beat the packers so they better hold onto that division lead because they'll lose all the tiebreakers at the end of the year. and first place in the NFL means more than any other sport when you reach the playoffs.
the DETROIT LIONS will NOT be there at the end of the year but they are still very dangerous. beware next monday night.
JAY CUTLER is bothered by the criticism of his behavior. awwww, poor baby. just cover your face with that 15 million dollar paycheck and everything will be all right. cutler may be the biggest jerkoff in chicago since frank thomas and albert belle.
NOTRE DAME FOOTBALL IS BACK!!. at least until they play OKLAHOMA & USC on the road.
as i predicted, WISCONSIN is the best of a bad bunch and will probably represent the big ten in the rose bowl again this year. they play in a 6 team division in which two of the teams are ineligible for the post season, ohio state and pediphile university. thus, they only have to top illinois, indiana and purdue, three ghastly programs better suited for the MID-AMERICA CONFERENCE. so despite being fat, slow & stupid, the badgers will once again head west for the holidays .....where they'll be embarrassed once again.
that's all i got.
