Not any more. She quit a couple years back, right around the same time she got gigantic implants.

For 6 Saturdays of the year, Notre Dame is unbelievable. Almost magical when they're good. The other 359 days of the year, it might as well be Siberia.

I went to a College that played ND at home every other year. It was like Atilla and the Huns came throught that weekend. For 2 of those years I was working on a dorm clean up crew and it was the worst. throw up, broken furniture and windows, like a Van Halen hotel room, but Campus wide. Catholic school my ass.

"Beat your wife Potvin"

I've always personally preferred the alternate and more obscure version "Buy a Porsche, Smitty" - but hardly anyone gets it anymore*


* "Smitty" being hate Islanders goalie Billy Smith; "Buy a porsche" referring to death of Flyers goalie Pelle Lindbergh when he crashed his Porsche

Why do you all hate him so much? Is it for anything he did before, say, 1990? I have no particular opinion about him as an announcer, but mostly feel bad for him as a player. Someone called him the best player ever from the ankles up (this was pre-MJ, and I don't want to get into that), and he comes across pretty well in Halberstam's book about the '78 Blazers.

OK, I recognize that I'm deep into ancient basketball history at this point.

I almost said this twice today. You can't hate him as a player, but you must hate him as an announcer. I think that's what they mean.

Really? That's surprising. Most Domers party like pussies.

Which doesn't mean they don't drink a lot - you have to when everyone knows who you're talking about when you mention the "hot girl" on campus.

For years, I've been begging (via screaming at the TV) for ND to start giving cheerleading scholarships based purely on looks. Jesus, it appears that these girls now actually get them based on merit. For shame.

I disagree there. A team with a great center and guard might have given them fits. But they were a well-balanced team. Pippen and Jordan, when they turned it on, made every pass a dangerous one. I think they wouldn't have been as successful, but they would have gotten some rings.

Dynasties start by killing the past dynasty. The Pistons were built to beat the Celtics, and the Bulls were built to beat the Pistons. Michael, with someone who could hit an open jumper, was a tough team. the Bulls that eventually did win, would have done very well a decade earlier.

It seems his sis is no longer in Nashville Pussy. I suspect she's still breathing fire somewhere, though.

Apparently she is now (or was recently) in a band called The Hunns.

She is looking a little . . . weathered.

I'd say a good 90 percent of my ire comes from stupid, idiotic, biased comments made as an announcer. He is the ONLY announcer in any sport that has pissed me off enough to write an angry letter to a network. Hell he's the only reason that has pissed me off enough to write an angry letter to a network. I don't remember what it was he said, but it probably had to do with one too many comparisons of mid 90s basketball to early 80s basketball and a total and complete inability to understand the (then) modern game. It got to the point where I'd turn off the TV if he were announcing, even and especially if it was a Rockets game.

I didn't like him much as a player, though I guess I respected his game. I knew him more as a member of the very excellent Celtics team, than as a player in his own right. When I became basketball cognizant, he was at the "limping up and down the floor" stage of his career. My mom was a Celtics fan, and my dad was a Lakers fan during those championships. It could be a confusing childhood at times.

He may be the reason I no longer watch basketball, though the Rockets sucking ass from 1996 until recently that has more to do with that...

Hank, have you met many Catholics? You sound surprised.

Sharing the love that is overgeneralization and stereotyping ethnic, racial and religious groups,

At a recent Texans game, my sister and I agreed that cheerleading is the only sport where the amateurs are better (on merit) than the professionals. We think that the Texans cheerleaders would feel much more in their element if they were allowed to incorporate the goalpost in their routines.

Hence the throw-up. Maybe too many amaretto sours.

And I like this quote from Nasville Pussy's new bass player:

“We want to unbuckle the Bible belt and suck God’s dick.”

But will they do it in a public restroom?

Until this post I had assumed Nashville Pussy referred to a womens' basketball team.

Seriously. Of course, I thought it was a nickname.

He's in the 3 point contest, then you'll have to do w/o, until you catch him starting in the conference finals, and probably the NBA finals.
