Seven Days

Irish fans:

One Week

We are now only one week from football.  One week, or seven days.    

Seven is a great number at Notre Dame, worn by the holder of the single game passing yardage record (Joe Theismann, left) and a Heisman Trophy winner (John Huarte, right).  It's also the number of a current player, one Stephon Tuitt, seen here: 

Hello.

and here, demonstrating a right and proper victory dance, which sadly would cost him fifteen yards if used during a game:

and here, running a fumble back for a touchdown:

Now, there's a lot that's great about that video, including that it put the game well and truly out of reach for the Naval Academy.  However, please take note of Navy's number 20.  If I ever have the privilege to meet him, I have a pair of questions for him. 

1.  You're a running back, he's a D-Lineman.  How is it that you didn't catch him, and over the last 30 yards of chasing you didn't gain a foot on him?  

2.  Stephon outweighs you by over 100 pounds

Stephon Tuitt, seen here.  And Navy RB 20, barely seen because he is so small.

What exactly was your plan if you caught him?

Sadly, I will not have the answer to that question for you all tomorrow.  But I will answer the age old question: 

what happens when you use a battering ram of a fullback against Steve Spurrier?
