Week In Review

The big news of the weekend was obviously that Notre Dame took care of business against Air Force. If you're not aware, Air Force runs the option, which is next to impossible to stop. You can tell by their 4-5 record. We have to play all these service academies in rivalry games. I hope everyone realizes that they come to play!

I don't think any other team in the country (other than the 4 who already beat them) can stop that incredible option attack. The greatness of Notre Dame is validated. Next up: Army. I can't believe we scheduled Navy, Air Force and Army all in a row. That would be a death sentence for any other team in the country.

Now, onto the mighty Gonzaga Bulldogs. Last night they played Rice in a battle of small, largely unknown schools that each have an overachieving athletic program. It was a hard fought game and I had to stay up until 3 AM to watch it, but the 'Dogs got the W 88-50. That was the good news of the night.

The bad news came this morning when I woke up to realize that Gonzaga was not in the top 25. That's outrageous. The 'Dogs are 2-0, undefeated, and they beat Rice! If they aren't put in the top 10 soon, so that they can play no one and stay in the top 10 until losing to UNC-Wilmington in the first round of the NCAA Tourney, I'm going to lose my mind.
