(3-1 vs. 2-1) and are playing Stanford this week.
You overlooked that they haven't played the same number of games.

ND is the Trojans only Rival. And they've been pretty bad for the past few years. (especially when they play you know who!

Three coaches think ND deserves a 25 ranking!
I think their problem is that his coach cusses too much. I wouldn't wanna play for a guy that cusses all the time.
and it looks like your Bruins may win a game next week!
Does your cairn group offer temporary memberships for kicking over ducks?
I would like to join but just for this week.
Come to think of it I have 100 extra tickets for all you duck kicker overers.
Think of it Hal. There ought to be about 30,000 of em at the Coliseum this Saturday!
