Well since my last post Irish and Da Bears have both WON two games.
Notre Dame beat Michigan State 33-30 and Purdue 24-21, Michael Floyd is out for the season with a broken collarbone, and Jimmy Clausen has a pretty bad case of Turf Toe. Jimmy was only in for part of the game against Purdue he was able to get 15/26 for 171 yards and a TD, he threw his first interception of the year as well. This brings his total for the year to 77/117 for 1122 yards and 10 TD's, he's already had a huge year but if he keeps this up he'll have his biggest year numbers wise for us. He was also #1 on ESPN's Top 10 plays on Saturday.
Da Bears... Jay Cutler is looking a whole lot better after that debacle against the Packers. We beat the Steelers 17-14 and beat Seahawks yesterday 25-19. The loss of Urlacher is not helping us at all on the defensive end and Hunter Hillenmayer (his backup) was hurt in yesterdays game. As usual Lance Briggs is stepping up and getting the job done though, the line looks pretty good and we had a lot of pressure on Seatle's QB last night. Devin Hester had a big catch for a TD to put us ahead, Greg Olsen also finally got a TD catch! We play the Lions at home this week, dating back to last season they are now 19-1 (they won yesterday) so I don't think we'll have much trouble with them.
In Fantasy News :) I won the semi-finals of our Fantasy Baseball League and am now playing for the championship this week. I outscored my oppenent 250 to 208 last week so hopefully I will win.
I won my first game of Fantasy Football, lost my second game to Fatty (Chris Johnson got 45 points), and will win this week to my Dad (He has one player left so unless he pulls of a Chris Johnson performance I will win).
That's it for now, I will post again next week after the games!!! GO ND n DA BEARS!!!

One and Done :(
Well this weekend was not a good one for my football teams.
Irish lost to Michigan 38-34, our defense looked like crap in the 2nd half, and our offense couldn't hold on to passes. We have dropped out of the top 25 and with the win Michigan is #25 (boo).
The Bears also lost 21-15, Jay Cutler threw 4, yes FOUR, interceptions... That's the most in his career, now I understand playing in Lambeau must be difficult but Jay is not a new QB to the league he has played in big games. Granted the receivers were dropping the ball all night but we left what we said we planned to do, throw the ball to the tight ends, they got very few passes thrown at them. Defense for the bears looked good but took a HUGE hit, Brian Urlacher (my fav. player) is out for the season and will be getting surgery on his wrist after he injured it in Sundays game :(
My Fantasy Football team did not do anything special either, I should be able to pull out a win unless Lee Evans (WR Bills) does amazing tonight, wait and see I guess.
Boston Red Sox had a good weekend winning 3 games, I also won in Fantasy Baseball tieing me for 1st once again (3 way tie).
I'm hoping this weekened will be much better, ND vs MSU... Bears vs. Steelers, both at home!!! MSU looked like crap this weekend and the Steelers were not that impressive against the Titans. As long as ND can keep producing the big numbers on offense and the defense steps it up they should be fine. Jay Cutler and his receivers need to get it together and settle down they all looked very flustered, Bears D took a hit but still have plenty of weapons (It's gonna be hard watching the games and not seeing Urlacher in there the rest of the year).

35-0!!!
So it's my favorite time of year, NCAA Football has begun and NFL's official season starts Thursday!!!
Notre Dame played this pass Saturday and we looked sharp! Yes we were playing Nevada, but they are not a push over team. They recorded a total of 307 yards but were only 2-11 on 3rd down conversions (0-1 4th down), and they turned the ball over 3 times. Jimmy Clausen and Michael Floyd stole the show, Clausen was 15-18 for 315 yards and 4, yes four, touchdowns. Floyd was the recipient of 3 of those touchdowns passes, one for 70 yards and another for 88!!! We also ran for a total of 178 yards making it a 510 yard game.
Defense also looked good, but could be better we did allow 307 yards (154 passing and 153 on the ground) but we did the job we needed to do keeping them to an 18% 3rd down completion percentage.
Irish won 35-0!!! We entered the season at #23 and with this shutout win and a 510 yard day we moved up to #18!!!
Bears have a big opener on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers (Boo!) in Green Bay. We looked good on both sides of the ball in pre-season and can hopefully keep that momentum and drive to win going.
In other news...
I'm in 2nd place in Fantasy Baseball (BUBWAY PARK) still. I lost 205 - 204 last week against the top guy in the East. I am playing the top guy in the West this week and am winning 30-6 right now. RSBoston is Fatty and he is tied for last in the East, in our other league he is 10-12, his players are still not producing when he needs them to.
Our Fantasy Football will start this Thursday with NFL's opening game, Titans vs. Steelers (Titans are Fatty's favorite team, gogo Titans!).
