1 - 5, Baby!



I never thought I would be so excited to say that, but a win is a win is a win. Add in Stanford (Stanford! 41-point underdog!) knocking off Southern Cal at home, ending their 35-game home winning streak, and losses by Miami and Florida and it was quite a nice little Saturday.

I find it curious that Notre Dame is suddenly no longer front-page news on espn.com and si.com. First five weeks of the season and every loss was headline news. But beat a 4-1 (3-0, Pac 10) UCLA team at home and they disappear. Funny how that works... I know all the "experts" will say that the only reason ND won was because UCLA played a back-up, walk-on quarterback, but aren't you supposed to take advantage of an opportunity when it's presented? Notre Dame took care of business. Besides, it's not their fault Karl Dorrell would rather keep a red shirt on a stud freshman quarterback than win a game. That was his decision, not Notre Dame's...
