Drat! I had the Irish, but I laid three and a half points. Fortunately, my bookie died in 1952.
Interesting (to me) is the evolution of language. When I first read “Irish End Unbeaten Season,” I thought Notre Dame had lost, thus “ending” their unbeaten season. Today, we would be more likely to see “Irish Complete Unbeaten Season.”
(I’m speaking from a grammatical point of view, not as a college football prognosticator).

Kudos to the Trojans for rising to the occasion and giving the Domers a scare.
Next week, Washington will be in town. I dedicate this song, a Cab Calloway hit from a few years ago, to the Washington Huskies.
Fight on!
