Soooo, did anyone go out trick or treating last night? Koho, we know you did. I'm watching the end of the ND game and Pitt just scored and they need the extra point to tie it. I'll keep writing while watching the game. Pitt threw the same pass 3 times in a row and finally scored on it. Dang it, tie game. But a good thing is the Irish have over 2 minutes to score to win the game. I've got confidence they will. Did anyone see Saw 5? I still haven't seen Saw 4 and I heard it wasn't that good. I was kinda disappointed about Saw 3 after how good the second movie was. The first movie was good, too. It's been a pretty good day of college football with some crazy finishes so far and this game should be another good finish. My favorite game so far was the Michigan-Purdue game where Purdue scored with 25 seconds left on a hook and ladder, made famous from the movie Varsity Blues. Of course they missed the extra point and Michigan still had a chance to win it but the Hail Mary was not answered.
I have no idea what to pick for tomorrow's games so I didn't even put them up. I did a league like this for a few years and it sucked. The guy who ran it his mom would always come back to win the league in the last few weeks. It was always funny because we would pick all of the games with the spread and the last few weeks she would always get 12-13-14 picks right a week. How does that happen? I won it one week and I was happy about that. The only time that ever happened for me when I did it.
I finally watched Atonement on Thursday night. I wasn't sure how I felt about the movie until the end. It had a twist at the end that I thought made it good. The movie was strange because they would play part of the movie and then the next scene would be earlier than when the previous scene happened, then it would skip ahead sometime and then go back a little bit and then at the very end it skips ahead a longtime. It wasn't the greatest movie I ever saw but it was pretty good, definitely not what I thought.
Well, the ND game is now in overtime, lets hope something good happens for our boys, ha ha. I'll keep you posted. ND won the toss and elected to go on defense first. First play pitt has an incomplete pass. I thought there was an early jump by Pitt but it wasn't called. Now on the other end of the field the sprinklers have gone off, ha ha. Pitt runs for a first down on second down, just like they've been doing against us since the second quarter, ugghhh. On first and goal the ND defense holds pitt to a 1 yard run. On second and goal Pitt throws to the RB who loses 4 yards, now it's 3rd & goal from the 13. On third down 8 yard run for 4th & goal. Pitt makes a field goal, 27-24 Pitt. Lets see what the Irish can do now.
Great, one of the Irish o-linemen gets injured walking out onto the field, that's a great sign. I don't think I should have said that. 7 yard run on first down. Good start so far. 8 yard run on second down, first and goal. Armando Allen's third straight run, this one for 7 yards, second and goal from the 3. Pitt stuff's Allen, 3rd and goal. I'm feeling a play action pass on this down. Pitt holds and forces Jimmy to throw it away. Time for a field goal. I don't think it's a good thing that the announcers keep on talking about how the kicker has struggled. It didn't work, field goal good. ND gets the ball for the second OT.
Well this will be interesting, they're now playing on the side where the sprinklers went off. Jimmy C overthrows a wide open Michael Floyd who would have easily scored. That sucks. Allen with a nice 4 yard run. But, it's 3rd and 6. 10 yard catch & run by Michael Floyd, first down. Loss of 2 on a run, not a good start. Ugghhhhhhh....... Nice 5 yard catch, 3rd and 7 again. Just over the head of Floyd, ND has to kick again. And the kicker makes it. ND up 30-27 and we need to hold them.
2 yard run by McCoy. This guy is the second best RB ND has seen this season. Pitt runs a screen pass and it looked like McCoy was going to break it but ND stops it, 3rd and 1. ND stops McCoy, 4th and 1 now. Pitt makes their FG, tied at 30.
Pitt gets the ball now. If someone scores a TD from now on they have to go for 2. I like this about College football. McCoy 1 yard run on first down. False start on Pitt, 2nd and 14 now. Jeez, this McCoy guys is amazing. Catches a screen for 16 yards and a first down. The backup RB rushes for 2 yards. Pitt runs a draw for 2 yards, 3rd and 6. I think I might puke now. Incomplete pass, almost picked off, Pitt to kick another field goal. FG good, Pitt up 33-30.
Ok guys, lets score a td now and end this game. Just run the ball with Allen, is that too much to ask? Maybe not, Allen 1 yard run. Incomplete pass, 3rd and 9, not looking good. I just puked in my mouth. Clausen sacked, first one today and it's really looking back, it's going to be a 48 yard fg to tie. Wow, somehow he made it, we're tied again. 4th ot.
ND ball again. Aldrige nice 4-5 yard run on first down. Let's keep it going. 1 yard run, 3rd and 5 now. I'd like at this point to thank Malone for sending my check for the home run league and putting "Entertainment" on the check. Thanks. Incomplete pass and now I have to wait through another field goal. Just what I thought. Finally ND misses a fg. Just pushed to the left. Looks like ND's 3rd loss of the year.
I can't really blame the kicker for that one, the offense hasn't done anything in the second half. ND stops the run, second and 10. I don't think Pitt will throw on this drive, they have a great kicker. Big run by McCoy, first and goal for Pitt from the 6. Uggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....... McCoy runs to the middle for a 1 yard game. Now Pitt will make a fg to win it and I will go cry in the bathroom because I don't want anyone to see me. And I'm headed to the bathroom to cry. Pitt wins 36-33.

Roger I've tried to tone down my blog criticism in recent weeks but that is a lot of Notre Dame football talk - a topic that zero of the regular blog readers care about. You might catch some heat or lose some readers over this.
Roger, If I wanted a play by play of the ND game, I would have watched it, listen to it on the radio, or read ESPN. No need to post this on the blog. I agree with Rob 100%.
On a lighter note, I watched Saw 4 last week and it was ok, nothing great (The only other Saw movie I saw was the 2nd one, so I have not seen the first or third). I think the 2nd one was much better than the 4th. I am planning on seeing Saw 5 this week, so I will let you know how it compares. But thats only if I never see a post about ND again.
Roger, I'm sorry about ND. I actually watched the end of that game, so the play by play was very unnecessary. At least they didn't choke as bad as UConn did against WV. I haven't seen that many dropped passes in a long time.
I have seen the first 4 Saws, I actually own the first 3. The first 2 were the best, the 3rd one was just OK, and the 4th one sucked ass in my opinion. I'm not sure if I'll watch the fifth one or not. Usually I have to watch them on my own since Perrotti and Michelle are scared of movies like that. Koho had the balls to watch the 2nd one with me, but apparently he has a secret date that he's watching the rest with, haha.
On a side note, I saw Robin Williams live last night at the old Oakdale theater. That guy is still pretty freaking funny. I don't know how he has so much energy. Perrotti, you'd be happy to know that he in fact did drink a ton of water. Before the show started he had like 6 bottles on a table on the stage for him.
Roger, we're going to Vegas from Feb 24th to Feb 28th next year (if we can ever finalize the damn trip). You're welcome to meet us there. You know you want to.
