Live ND--GaTech Blog
It's halftime of the Notre Dame--Georgia Tech game, and ND has put my $$ in jeopardy by stumbling to the ass-end of a 10-7 score. Georgia Tech are the Yellowjackets, so they are not susceptable to the infamous voodoo ritual that Notre Dame's cabal of priests springs on unwitting rivals with man-shaped mascots (Trojans, Spartans, Boilermakers, Volunteers...). Instead they have outfitted the giant voodoo doll with bug-zapper armor, smeared it with honey and pollen, and placed a beehive in its subterranean crypt. You can guess the rest. ESPN Insider my ass! I've got Jesuit Insider, and rumor has it that the priests from the east have even agreed to assist the dark powers of Soth Bend in their unholy quest, secure in the knowledge that Notre Dame's bad karma will be throbbing and frothing over by the time they next play Boston College. GO EAGLES!
The Class Six had a sale on flavoured Absolut yesterday, so I stocked up for the festivities with a fifth of Citron and a fifth of Vanilla. I and Pugilant Mick are a Cosmopolitan and a Metropolitan deep into the game, and the 2nd half will feature Bloody Marys. I donned by Yellow GaTech hat (a $6.00 bootleg with the bee facing the wrong way) for the first half (not to mention a T-shirt from the greatest college football program of all time--Yale!!!), with the dual intent of pissing off Mick and jinxing Tech. This has been half-successful, as Mick first swore to not talk to me for two years if ND lost, and then decided to start early.
Speaking of starting early, it is 11:15 am here, and we started before nine. Sunday morning is college football time in Korea.
The 3rd quarter is winding down and ND has seized a 14-10 lead. Since my reverse jinx with the GT hat wasn't working, I changed to a UNC hat at halftime, to remind Tech that they are from a basketball conference.
Ugh. ND just missed a field goal, which would have brought them even with the 7 point spread. They have really been dominant since their scoring drive at the end of the first half, and its disappoinitng to come away with nothing after a nice drive.
It's 1/2way throughtthe 4th quarter, and Tech's quarterback has been buring ND on draws up the middle. So much for our sacrament of the Bloody Virgin Mary. I used spicy V8, Frank's Red Hot Sauce, Tabasco, black pepper, crushed red pepper, garlic salt, celerey salt,oregano, Worcestershire sauce, and horseradish mayonaise. The mayo makes my concoctions look like they have jizz suspended in them (actually mine, since Mick declined the hoseradish due to his raging homophobia.
Ugh. ND wins 14-10, failing to beat the 7 point spread. Combind with BC's 24-17 win at Central Michigan, I am 0-2 betting on Catholic schools this weekend. Meanwhile I've been saved by Ohio State, who beat Northern Illinois 35-12, and USC, whose 44-7 lead over Arkansas has been cut to 44-14, which I can live with.
Meanwhile, I found five NFL spreads that I like for next week. Again I took all favorites. Hopefully I fare better with the pro games.
PITTSBURGH(-4)over miami
NEWENGLAND(-8.5)over buffalo
seattle(-3.5)over DETROIT (violates the don't bet against your own team rule)
indy (-3)over NYGIANTS
philly (-3.5) over HOUSTON
I went against the Lions for the orangeout game last year, but hey, so did all the other Detroiters. Screw it. None of these dogs deserve this much respect, at least not yet.
