Notre Dame knocks off #5 Bama

For all of you who don’t know Dan’l B, he’s a genius. The guy has this formula for picking games, and more times than not, he’s right. So when he predicted the Irish would win, being an ND fan, of course I got all giddy and stupid, ever excited that he actually thought they would win as well. You see, I could make the prediction that ND will beat Alabama, but everyone would say, “Yeah, yeah, whatever.” But when Dan’l B says so, we stop, pause, and then nod and agree and say, “Yeah, that makes sense.” Then, of course, his prophecy became true, and we can all chalk another one up for the Biggest Conference in all the land.
Like everyone else, I thought Notre Dame would suck this year, but it appears I may be wrong, and these two victories over Bama and Maryland are going to help a lot come Selection Sunday. Dan’l B’s prediction was 9 Big East teams in on that day. Here’s the nine I figure he was talking about: Pitt, UConn, Georgetown, Marquette, Villanova, DePaul, Syracuse, Notre Dame and either West Virginia or Louisville. More likely the Cardinals. Anyway, chalk another one up for the Biggest.

I think I’ll read that with more than a little sarcasm. I’m wrong just as often as anybody else, but I think it’d be appropriate to only focus on the times that I’m right.
I also “predicted” that Butler will run the table…that’s the kind of prediction that looks pretty stupid pretty quickly. I almost expect Butler to get upset at Indiana St tomorrow night.
Edit: also, something drastic will have to happen for Notre Dame to suck moving forward. I think anyone who watched the game will agree that they’ve got a ton of gamers. Ratings don’t matter nearly as much.
