Oh, I’m right here, Sparky.

Unbowed. Unbroken.

Yes, withour question my Irish!!!!!!!!!!! played like a second-string, Special-Ed cadet squad. Shameful.

I do, respectfully, doff my N-D cap to Alabama…who had Notre Dame’s number from the jump.

(And only Alabama gets a well-deserved hat-tip.)

As I said previously, my IRISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ELEVENTY! remain 12-0, regular season.

No whatiffery or second-guessing coming from me as to why what transpired, transpired.

The wheels came off of the blue-and-gold bus. That simple.

You marrow-deep Irish-haters are still commended to pogh mo thoin!

Oh, Larsen, one more thing, do, in future,try reading for better comprehension…my handle has nothing,/i> to do with Jed Clampett and everything to do with Tha Pats. Tha Sox, Dickie Barrett, Joe Perry…and most of all, having to do with being patient enough to only place one’s round when the clear sclera of one’s enemy is visible (thus making for nifty powder stippling on the remnants of the forehead).

I do so enjoy cleaning my teeth with such empty snarks.

(But I don’t think they actually have any Irishmen on their team… which makes them frogs… )

So as it has been gloated unto yon Domers, so wouldst a like volume and vigor meet in kind.

If it troubles you so much, go find a ‘Bama cheerleader and ask if she can spare a Kotex.

Should The IRISH!!!!!!!!!!!eleventy! happen to lose, that still does not lessen the team’s efforts prior to the Championship game.

Not a damned thing anyone can whine about that takes the gold off of their helmets.

So put that in your “effem” hookah and huff it!

IRISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!IRISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!IRISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!eleventy!

[dances a most derisive "nyah-nyah-nyah" IRISH jig around the room with The Dropkick Murphys and The Pogues playing in the background]

Such emotion, so lachrymose…you’d think the menses were in full flow. [Need feminine hygene products be dispensed as well?]

Many have been the years that we Domers have swallowed the gloatings of others…now, with a whizbang season behind them, there’s not one word of even-begrudging acknowledgement of hard effort having been made. Hmmmm? Nobody?? Fine. The high road not being taken….

Excuse me while I… G L O A T BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (So as ye soweth, so in kind, ye reapeth!) (My turn to act the offensive, high-handed smugmeister)

NOTRE DAME IS KING OF THE HILL (this season) NOTRE DAME KICKED ARSE!!!!!!! BOW DOWN TO THE LEPRECHAUN!!!!!!!!!!

IRISH!!!!!!!!! IRISH!!!!!!!!!! IRISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IRISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IRISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ELEVENTY!

Deal with it.

Cumhacht Eireanach!

And in the end, I hope Notre Dame loses, because, F them, that’s why.

Go Alabama! (I like that state, btw.)

(They will start new transfer student Johnny Manziel at QB.)

The thing about ND though, they play top teams in multiple conferences every season, so if they are good enough to go undefeated doing that, there probably aren’t any teams likely to beat them. I think the “Tide” might just get rolled.

Of course, if Alabama wins, then the only undefeated team will be my Buckeyes. So, it’s almost a win-win for me.
