Not that its a real surprise but for some reason Im still amazed, but hes prediciting ND to beat Penn State and made it sound like it would be nothing for them to do it. I cant believe this guy.
 
I found this picture of him wearing a furry boa and a feather hat, so that ought to tell you something.

I don't think that is all that unlikely. Notre Dame does have much more talent than Penn State (but still very young) but they seem to lack toughness.

Also, Notre Dame did beat up on Penn State last year 41-17.
 
I just re-watched his simulated "pep-talk" for the UM team. It hit me that no one under 30 understood his line "your wife ran off with a drummer." To Lou, who is my age, a "drummer" is a traveling salesman, not a bongo banger...

Have not heard that in over 35 years.

Drummers were traveling salesmen who worked at first for large New York and Philadelphia wholesale houses.

My Grandmother would often call traveling salesmen, Drummers.

Drummers

Drummers were traveling salesmen who worked at first for large New York and Philadelphia wholesale houses. As Friedman says, "They carried dry goods, whiskey, groceries, patent medicines, jewelry, chemicals, hardware, and leather goods" (Birth of a Salesman, 57). But the name drummer was, if not a derogatory term, at least not reflective of the image that merchants wanted to create for their traveling salesmen. The first appearance of "drummer" to connote a commercial salesman was, according to the OED, in 1827: "The Nos. of Lodge's book..were left by some drummer of the trade upon speculation." The word had made it across the sea by 1860, however, since John Bartlett, in his Dictionary of Americanisms, defined drummer as "a person employed by city houses to solicit the custom of country merchants." By 1882, they were so common throughtout the land that one could say "As enterprising as a Chicago drummer." Of course, the word referred to their enterprising, energetic, and possibly annoying tendency to "beat the drum" for whatever product they were selling.
 
I listened a couple of times to make sure I'd heard him right. If there's any more evidence needed that he's dwelling in a slightly different world, that suffices.
 
I'm 38, and I've never heard that either. But I digress...

I heard this prediction from him on XM earlier today, but the one that really boggles my mind is that he also predicted they will win it all next year. His logic?? They have an easy schedule next year. Crap, they have an easy schedule EVERY YEAR!!! I know, I know...they play USC, and a couple of other teams that might be ranked in the top 25 this season. But how many top 25 teams will LSU or Bama...or ANY SEC team face this year...or ANY year??

Lou, we're eageraly awaiting the '08 Irises.:PDT_popc1:

Uhh, really? I don't think so. This year's Notre Lame team is a far cry from last year's. Penn State should brutalize them. I hope they really run it up on them.

Notre Dame had one thing last year that they don't have this year: Brady
