Is it Stewart Mandel, for lambasting Weis for not releasing his starting quarterback, or Jay Paterno, for using a PS3 to try and finally reach one of his quarterbacks?  While I agree with Mandel that a few extra days of preparation are going to make little or no difference, his post takes on such a whiny tone it's hard to agree with.  On the other hand, I love playing football video games, and this also serves as a Jeff Bowden-esque white flag that perhaps it is time for the Paterno family to move on out of State College with a fruit basket and hearty pat on the back.  I'm going to tip my hat to Mandel, although they both are kind of pathetic.

The New York Times has started a college football blog, so you might want to bookmark The Quad and make it part of your daily travels.  

Irish Roundtable does some messageboard research (Terrifying, they should get a medal of some sort for that) and comes away thinking that both GT and ND fans are rather delusional.  Adjust for the spread and it's Irish fans in a rout.  Huzzah!

The Evil South Bend City Council's plan to target Notre Dame student parties fell through again, so it's back to the drawing board.  I understand the point of residents that partying until 3 AM during the week is a little much, Notre Dame students aren't nearly as bad as various council members would like to make them out to be.

And finally, anything you wanted to know about anyone in the college football world, SMQ has your back.  Enjoy.

I'll leave you with something that has nothing to do with Notre Dame, but everything to do with scary monster defensive ends we hopefully never have to play against. Ladies and gentlemen, Calais Campbell, the 6' 8", 280-pound Miami Hurricane.
