The Occasional Observer

As a Michigan fan, undergoing our worst football season since 1967, and about to break our single season record for losses, I can take little solace in this college football season. However, the future looks very bright with Rich Rodriguez as head coach. We'll either be on probation or NC's within 5 years.

Down the road in lovely South Bend, Michiana, ND is having a banner year. It's a virtual tale of two cities, compared with Ann Arbor. ND is over .500, and if they manage to beat one of the service academies or USC, they will make a bowl game. I guess there have been a few negatives ... losing to BC for the 6th straight time, Jimmah's haircut, someone forgetting to tell Weis that he already had bariatric surgery ... but it sure beats 3 - 9!

The biggest news from South Bend, however, is that two ND fans fell in love at a BC game a few years ago and ended up married. I'm so glad I don't know the guy in this article, because he would get a lot of s*** from his buddies about this one. Discussed family and religion after an afternoon football game - as we say in Italy, what a figa.
