Irish Insights | Journal Gazette —
Published: November 24, 2008 11:31 a.m. Could ND Be Out Of The Sun? There's a chance Notre Dame could be shut out of El Paso, too. At least that was what was explained to Insights today by a Notre Dame official after a story popped up on the blog of Brett McMurphy of the Tampa Tribune breaking down the potential scenarios .

USF Bulls Face UConn in Must-Win Game
thebullgator.blogspot.com 11/21/2008 — Maybe must-win isn’t the right statement. In reality, USF doesn’t have to win anything. They can’t win the Big East. They are destined for one of the smaller bowls (if they get selected at all). And it seems like the season can’t get much worse. So I guess it’s really just another game...
