The wife and boy went to bed on Saturday, thinking Bad Notre Dame Daddy would finally be in a good mood on an Autumn morning. After all, it was 24-7...

On Monday, I got into it with a couple guys at the office. "I've never seen you this passionate and riled up about something," a bystander observed.

On Saturday, my son will turn 1. We'll have 20-25 family and friends over at the house to celebrate and watch football. Many of them are Tennessee fans/alums. I don't think I've ever said "Man, I'm thrilled that the Tennessee game will be on at the same time as ND so that I don't have to watch it."

I might say it this weekend.

Of course, like an addict who doesn't know when to quit, I'm sure I'll be sneaking away to catch parts of the game. And I'll then be a cranky, immature jerk to someone after we blow it then feel crappy about it later on. Groundhog Day...
