[QUOTE=Snooooopy] I’d like to get blown. [/QUOTE] Well, that’s understood. But by Notre Dame? ---

17-0 now, Quinn seems to be channeling [Ron Powlus](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Powlus) for some reason. Dirty Irish. ---

Hey, Ron Powlus broke Joe Montana’s consecutive completion streak. I watched that game. As long as Notre Dame loses, it’s allllllll good in the hood. ---

Blown OUT. It sounds very different if you don’t say OUT. …And now that MSU just returned that interception for a TD, yeah, it looks like ND is getting blown out. ---

ND gives up 31 in the first half! If only Weiss were a _defensive_ genious as well. ---

It’s a ten-point game again, although Notre Dame just punted. This one isn’t over. ---

16 points, now. Really rainy, too. ---

So now my argument against preseason rankings come up again. The ONE good thing that the BCS does is not start until several weeks inside the season. The Flighty Irish have proven that they were unworthy of the preseason hype. DanG! Look at that wind! What is it, about 30mph or so? ---

Fumble to ND deep in MSU territory! It’s probably too late for them to get two scores, and we can still say they didn’t deserve the hype, but at least it’s gotten somewhat interesting. ---

What is it today with these kickers? You’ve got to kick it away, which they did, down by one touchdown with that much time left. Michigan State’s offense hasn’t done much lately anyway. ---
