  1. Notre Dame Football -- Games
    It’s been quite awhile since the University of Notre Dame was a perennial power in college football. The on-going malaise this season is bringing the program under intense scrutiny. Charlie Weis was lured away from the NFL in 2004 and appeared to be the answer to the problems experienced by the Irish in his first two years as Head Coach. Notre Dame went 9-2 in 2005 and lost a BCS bowl to Ohio State. In 2006 the record improved to 10-2 and yet the team lost another BCS bowl, this time to LSU. Even with the bowl game losses, it appeared Notre Dame was on the right track.
  2. All American Football -- Teams
    Soon after the end of the American Civil War,still the leather football helmet had not been invented, around eighteen sixty five, colleges began organizing football games.None of these early teams wore leather football helmets. In eighteen sixty seven, Princeton led the way in establishing some rudimentary rules of the game.But still , leather football helmets were not used or invented. Players simply tied a bandana around their heads. Also in that year, the football itself was patented for the very first time That early ball was a crude watermelon, almost round shape. But still no way to protect the players from death or concussins because there were no leather football helmets even thought of during these early years..Rutgers College ... established a set of rules in eighteen sixty seven, and with the relatively short distance between it and Princeton, a game was decided upon by both universities.

  3. College Football Rankings -- Teams
    One of the feel-good stories of last year, as movie reviewers always say, was the discovery that maybe Joe Paterno wasn't ready for the dustbin of college football history quite yet. It's amazing how good players can make a coach seem smarter, and Paterno has a lot of them back this year. Wide receiver Derrick Williams may be Papa Joe's fastest player ever, and fellow wideout Deon Butler isn't exactly a slowpoke. The offense will have a different look with dropback artist Anthony Morrelli at quarterback instead of the elusive Michael Robinson and tailback Tony Hunt probably getting the ball more, but the key could be the Nittany Lions' ability to reload on the offensive line. Linebacker Paul Posluszny, a first-team All-American last season, returns at linebacker, but the rest of the defense will be somewhat inexperienced. Will the Paterno Revival Tour continue?
  4. John Ford -- Academy Awards
    One of Ford’s major targets for abuse was Ward Bond, another former USC football player. Ford was constantly making fun of Bond’s ample behind. Another favorite mark was Victor McLaughlin. McLaughlin starred in Ford’s film “The Informer” and had won an Academy Award for his effort. But that didn’t stop Ford from berating McLaughlin’s acting ability. McLaughlin, who could be ill-tempered himself at times, more than once threatened to knock Ford’s block off.
