  1. Any of you geezers remember when Notre Dame eschewed bowls altogether because “academics.” My guys went 11-0 in 1966 and crushed a decent Nebraska team 34-7 in the Sugar Bowl with Snake Stabler as MVP. We ended up ranked 3rd behind ND (no bowl) and Michigan State (won Rose Bowl). The ND / MSU game in East Landing was televised by ABC. They played to a 10-10 tie (no overtime then). The game ended with MSU trying valiantly to win but turning it over on downs at midfield to ND, which took a knee for several plays until the clock ran out. So yeah, fuck ND in the cassock ass.
  2. Canes defense goons will play wishbone split with aggy QB in the pileups and that . . . will be that.
  3. This shit really happened once upon a time in 1977: 11-1 Notre Dame's 38-10 demolition of previous #1 Texas in the Cotton Bowl vaulted them from #5 to #1 in the final AP poll, passing up 11-1 Alabama despite the Tide whipping Ohio State 35-6 in the Sugar Bowl. We’ll likely lose but . . . we will have the opportunity to advance.
  4. If DeBoer doesn’t (a) prepare QBs 2 and 3 and I mean starting NOW and (b) sit Simpson at the first sign of the yips, there’s no point in playing at Vegetables’ stand. Jesus. What clown made us a 1.5 point favorite?
  5. I knew I should’ve avoided that psilocybin. I could swear Bama just made the CFP.
  6. I should have stopped watching college football when we got blown out by the semen holes back in August and saved myself twelve entire days of life, but I didn’t. The Committee can kiss my ass no matter what they do in the final selection.
  7. Maybe so. I was always a big fan of Seneca Wallace. Good luck ISU down the post Campbell road.
  8. In an excruciatingly horrible game I watched like the Bama junkie I am, we somehow rallied to beat ISU and Seneca Wallace 14-13 in the “gripping” 2001 Independence Bowl in Dennis Franchione’s first year. QB Andrew Zow played well down the stretch. Since that game ISU has triggered images of fast food for me. Campbell should perform better than James Franklin, if he can eliminate the horseplay in the showers.
  9. I’m screaming sick of phone menus allowing commercial businesses to get by without employees. For example, my primary care physician has a very nice office, conveniently located and friendly, professional staff. It is literally impossible for one of us to communicate with the other by any means other than in person, face to face or by phone having an audio-only conversation. In the past year, she has scheduled no less than three FaceTime conferences for which I expected to be on call at specific times. So far, we have actually accomplished 90 seconds of one call, which ended abruptly and completely, without warning. None of the others worked at all. Tech is 90% bullshit 90% of the time. It makes me surly.
  10. Play it, Steve! A Soul Man for all Seasons
  11. If all of Surly keeps lobbying 24/7 and lightning strikes a poor schmucky team (like my guys) gets blown out Saturday, this time next week you’ll all be doing Longhorn reach arounds, crowing, “We’re in!” and deservedly so, my comrades.
  12. In other news the marlin fishing charters in Venezuela have gone to shit.
  13. You cynical fucks probably find this one annoying:
  14. Jean Shepard would have exulted in the sardonic, sarcastic, profane Surly universe. All that shit in A Christmas Story was based on his parents and brother and school chums and hometown. The Bumpuses, the hound dogs, the Red Ryder BB gun, soap in the mouth, tongues freezing to flag poles. Christmas at the Chinese restaurant, all of it. If it annoys you, don’t fucking watch it. I respect your opinion but I disagree.
