    Yesterday was awesome, but nerve-racking and tiring. And boy am I burnt out today. So I followed a link elsewhere and spent some time on The Onion to lighten my mood, and thought I'd share.

    "Reggie Bush Claims He Made $100,000 Through USC Work-Study Program":

    http://www.theonion.com/content/node/53083

    Here's one for bitternd :wink: , "Notre Dame Football Announces Improvements To Its Storied History":

    http://www.theonion.com/content/node/42106

    And my personal favorite, which happens to be about USC, "Freshman Running Back Wondering If Other Four Freshmen Running Backs Were Told They'd Start This Year" :

    http://www.theonion.com/content/node/52269

    Enjoy.

    Those are Golden! Nice finds...

    "When I was recruited, Coach Carroll told me I was the next Reggie Bush and the team's future," a homesick and confused Gable said to his mother during a phone call. "I wonder, is that something he tells all the other freshman running backs to get them to come to USC?"

    "1975: Daniel "Rudy" Ruettiger, an undersized fourth-string transfer student, is allowed to dress for and play in the last and only game of his college career; in the final moments of the game, "Rudy" tackles the Georgia Tech quarterback, forcing a fumble which rolls into the end zone and is recovered for an Irish victory; Notre Dame jumps up 23 spots in the polls for a share of the national championship; Ruettiger is awarded the Butkus and Nagurski trophies"
    "2005: The Oct. 15 victory of the Fighting Irish over #1 ranked USC, 27-31, is marred somewhat when Trojan Matt Leinart, who attempts to run the ball into the end zone in a last-second quarterback sneak, gets hit by the entire Notre Dame defense and is killed instantly as time runs out"

    the Notre Dame story could have easily been written about Bammer instead. Or did the Birmingham paper already run that story?
