I'm not sure half the SEC knows what "smite" means.

Before He had a kid and mellowed out, God was smiting half the things on the planet.

It looks like the rising sun flag of Japan.

Funny, the first think I thought of when I saw the helmets was, "Man, that looks like a queer jap flag."

It's the South Hammer. Old testemate Wrath of God wiping whole cities from the Earth and plagues that involve blood, frogs, and the first born?? That's the parts of the bible that really excites them. ;)

Yeah, they know what it means. The question is...can they spell it?

Reminds me of a good SEC joke:

One of Alabama's star players was in academic trouble, and the agreement reached was that the player in question had to pass a public oral exam to retain his eligibility. 100,000 people showed up in Bryant-Denny Stadium to witness the event. Nick Saban stepped to the microphone and said, "Okay, son, spell 'cat'." The player paused for a few seconds, and then in a confident voice called out, "C-A-T." As one, the crowd rose to its feet and roared, "C'mon coach, give him another chance!"

While I'm at it:
A guy walks up to the counter and says, "Can I have a moon pie and an RC cola?" The clerk looks him up and down and says, "Are you by any chance from Alabama?" The man replies, "Wow - that's awfully prejudiced of you. If I walked in and asked for bagels, would you assume I'm from New York? Or if I asked for a mint julep, would you assume I'm from Kentucky? Or if I asked for a lobster, would you assume I'm from Maine?" Each time, the clerk replied, "no, no." He asks, "So why, when I asked for a moon pie and and RC cola, do you think I'm from Alabama?" The clerk replied, "Because this is a hardware store."

Well, ASU seems to have gotten the better of the deal with Notre Dame, as the Irish will be coming to Tempe in 2014 per their contract, but ASU won't be making the return visit to South Bend that had been scheduled in 2017. So, the Irish will have to bump someone else in 2014. Apparently the contract between ASU and Notre Dame didn't have a buyout clause.

Im guessing this is all due to the (partial) moveo the the ACC and the games they have to play against them? As an Irish fan, I like to think that they felt it was more beneficial for them to keep a west road game as a potential recruiting tool.

Yes, this due to the ACC games, but no, Stanford or USC is the annual western road game. I think ND would rather not have played this game, as the schedule is looking pretty nasty in 2014 assuming that Temple is the team that gets dropped.

Certainly Notre Dame adding 5 ACC games a year creates some scheduling headaches, given the commitments they had already made. You'd think they could work with the ACC for the next year or two if it becomes to problematic to get the full 5 games in with the ACC. There is a certain oddness to see Maryland heading to the Big Ten while Notre Dame is sort of heading to the ACC.

Notre Dame and the Big Ten have an....odd relationship. The Big Ten would never let ND join as a non-football member. Yeah, Maryland going Big Ten is odd to me. I thought they enjoyed their rivalries and what not in the ACC. At this point I just really hope the conference realignment thing is over. One thing is for sure. The ACC-Big Ten basketball challenge is about to get crazy with the best of the Big East going to the ACC.

Wait a sec. I thought USC gets punished to be an example of big programs getting penalties whenever someone big messes up.

USC didn't have the CEO of Nike as their primary booster.

Unintentional pun?

Besides if they went after USC again, they'd have to go after South Carolina, just to keep things even.
