And those two reaped exactly what they should have expected when all they had to sow was feckless leadership. So now these Johnnies-come-never want to blame all their new-found woes on N.I.L. Only now, we need to consider the children academics, not to mention our divinely-bestowed place at the table!

Notre Dame should have been the independent leader it had grown to be as evidenced by its long-storied history sustained by competent leadership over the decades. Instead, these two Nitwits of Notre Dame were content to monitor the landscape through the lens of last month's news which led us into all-but-for-the-crying conference membership in theoretically major college football. We could have been somebody having a say in what the landscape should look like. Instead, we were nobody who threw it all away with our newfangled, legend-is-something-you-do-twice way of doing things along with our more important, overall goal of dumbing down the competition. But at least, we still have our smoke, and no one can ever take that away from us!

What would you fight for doesn't sound so good when all you did was stand on the sidelines trying to figure out which direction the wind didn't blow.
