Sorry, the cheerleader in me comes to the surface from time to time.
First, Godfather, I hope your family and all other families are safe and dry and have homes upon returning to TX etc. where Ike hit. Looks pretty scary from the news coverage.
It also looked like Ike was arriving in South Bend this afternoon! NBC showed water cascading down the stadium steps onto the edge of the field. Sure was like Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day for a while there. Are you guys soaked through?
The sun was shining on our guys though, even through the rain. I am encouraged, and hope that now the team has had a taste of success, they'll get hungrier for it. My personal fave, Mike Anello, showed his stuff again today, making at least a couple of key plays. Colonel, if you haven't seen the game yet, enjoy! There were a few moments of frustration, but let's be honest, aren't you glad you aren't a Michigan fan today? They had lots of problems and our guys were able to capitalize on quite a few of them, especially early on. Once we had the initial cushion, I just worried about complacency setting in, and so did Charlie in his words before the halftime break.
Get well soon, Charlie! That was a hard hit and when we saw the replays I guessed that his ligaments would be damaged. It hurts to watch things like that. Fortunately, NBC only played it twice that I recall. Now that many people have the ability to rewind live TV, we might be spared the grisly views being repeated over and over.
Just so you are aware, I'll take a chance and predict the ND-SU score now: 63 - 6. They look awful, and the situation is magnified now that the movie The Express is out celebrating Ernie Davis and the 1959 Syracuse National Champion team. If you like sports movies, take a chance on that one. Bob and Kyle said it was good.
Next week we travel to Michigan State. I don't know how they did this weekend, so I'll be looking for pre-game analysis from you faithful guys out there. Can we take our show on the road and do well? Hope so. My last observation from this week's victory: When NBC was interviewing Golden Tate on the sidelines and Jimmy Clausen was waiting his turn, Jimmy was bobbing his head in time with the Victory March and savoring a home W. I hope he likes the feeling so much that he and the rest of the guys stay eager for more. I noticed he gave credit to the offensive line for protecting him -- the second game in which he wasn't sacked. Another positive change. He did have a couple of hurried throws, but no sacks has to be a much better feeling.

Thanks for asking about my family, the went to Dallas and are doing okay. We really got soaked during the second half. At least it was warm and we had good rain gear.
Was the Ark on Green Field yesterday? Oh wait, Green Field doesn't exist anymore, does it? Well, I suppose Noah would have found some place nice and wet to park.
Godfather, glad to hear your family is ok? How much water in the basement?
