9/14/05---The Perfect Storm?

Saw this quote today...and thought it was hilarious.  Beano...what a hoot the guy is.

Speaking of predictions, I don't know how many of you listen to Colin Cowherd on ESPN Radio, but I like the guy (and Eric Cricilias too -- both more than Dan Patrick). He's a USC lover, but not a Notre Dame hater. Anyway, he had Beano Cook on this morning and immediately started giving him shit about his reputation for leaning toward ND. Cook says he actually doesn't like Notre Dame itself, just the players on the team and the history of the team. He was seriously trying to distance himself from the Irish. Even said that ND has stunk it up the last decade or so and it hasn't hurt college football one bit. He said Notre Dame's "arrogance" has turned him against the University. Then he went on this spiel about how Hesburgh was the greatest university president of the 20th century, and things were done properly under him. He said that when Hesburgh left and "the new regime" made that "back room deal"
with NBC and at the same time had a representative speaking with ABC, he lost all of his respect for the University. Then he went on to say that he predicted at the beginning of the season that if ND beat Michigan they would win the National Championship. Cowherd was ripping him, saying that with the athletes at USC and Tennessee, not to mention Texas and Miami and Georgia, etc. we would never win the National Championship..."they're just not that good." Beano responds that if it had just to do with athletes, college football would be a different game altogether. That sometimes everything just comes together in one place at the right time, the "perfect storm." He closed by saying, "The perfect storm is forming at Notre Dame as we speak."


All together now......wooooooooooooooo
