Boston College #4 in the polls

I told myself I would not give myself the pleasure of posting anything until after I was done writing my GD monkey-on-my-back Masters thesis, but like any good junkie I have broken down and gone against that to discuss Boston College football being ranked FOURTH in the AP Top 25, USA Today, and Harris Interactive polls for Division IA football.  Fucking mind-blowing, although I will say it's probably a little inflated to what it should be (even though there's no super-star teams this year like the Reggie Bush USC or the Vince Young Texas teams of the past).

Our next game is against Notre Dame, who we consider our main rival (at least we used to before we joined the ACC) but they don't.  Notre Dame considers themselves superior to BC, at which you just have to smile and let slide, because if you've ever spent any time out in South Bend, IN you'd want to hang yourself.  I think Notre Dame is a fine school academically, but it's weird out there, and boring and homey as all hell.  My grandfather went to Notre Dame and played football there so I considered it when looking at colleges, but when the tour guide explained that you stay in the same shitty dorm building for four years and was like "There's a chapel in every dorm and everyone comes together and takes some role in the masses," and that "Everyone goes to this one bar just off campus once they turn 21" I knew that there was no way I would willingly spend four years of my life there.

Anyway, some BC fans made the following video about ND which is fairly amusing:

I like the line "BC's got better Christians" followed by pictures of BC students in the Mod's shot-gunning beers. Sweet....
