For all intents and purposes we've dropped sports talk from the menu here; simply too much else to do and cover and read about, but Notre Dame sinking to new lows has me all giddy.
This is important because the system worked, and in todays America whenever that happens bells should be rung from every steeple that can afford a decent hunchback.
Notre Dame had its way for so very many years. Recruiting violations were commonplace, players were allowed to have ghost-writers prepare their homework and even take their tests, you name it, the Fighting Irish got away with it.
Not any more. Schools with high academic standards usually have shitty sports programs, and when made to follow the same rules as everyone else, that describes Notre Dame to a T.
Navy beat them 46-44 in triple overtime. Last Navy team to do so was led by hall of famer Roger Staubach in 1963, back before steroids were making giants on a regular basis.
