I haven’t seen one yet, but surely somebody will rearrange one of those post-9-11 FDNY caps to say FYND. There’s an opportunity in it for some entrepeneur. (and maybe I spelled that right.) ---

Okay, as a subway alumnus, I admit, I’m baffled. How can Notre Dame look so feeble against BYU and so good against Michigan? What’s more galling is, I suspect that Notre Dame is going to be up and down like this all season! I like and respect Tyrone Willingham, and still think he’s going to turn out to be a great hire. But if he keeps giving fans ulcers like this, he may not keep his job long enough to justify my faith in him!
