Touchdown Taylor.

The first Notre Dame football game of the season was exciting. Peaceful even. Except for one person- Taylor Swift. Every time a phone buzzed, it was a new Tay Tay sighting. She was escorted around campus with her own personal golf cart, just like last year when she and her brother, Austin, who is currently a freshman, were touring the campus.

Here's the funny thing- she brought Selena Gomez with her. You probably spotted her in the picture. No one really cared.

That's Selena you see on the left, and her bro Austin on her right. I hear he's a d-bag, but no confirmed proof, so we'll see. You notice she and Selena have matching visors, how adorable.

Apparently Taylor requested to sit in the student section with her brother, according to Chicago Breaking Sports, and was denied by ND officials. A smart move- she's obviously never seen the cram session that is the student section. So she was sitting right in front of my section but on the field (how nice) and an eyewitness (my friend Megan) said she "kept looking back at the student section like, 'notice me! notice me!' But no one cared because everyone was watching the game at that point" Now that's just one person's interpretation. But it's pretty much how it went down. Only football could have taken away from her presence on campus.

We won 23-12, if anyone cares.

Oh and apparently they went out to dinner at Rocco's after the game.

The Face that launched 27 Losses

The face says it all for Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis. This is it. I should say, This is probably it. But, why kid ourselves? Charlie's donzo. And, the shuffle of coaches begins. I hate the shuffle. The shuffle stresses me the eff out. More so this year, because both of my teams (Cincinnati ranked 5th, Florida ranked 1st) are undefeated and boths coach have been mentioned for Weis' job.

Not cool, ND. Not cool. UF's coach Urban Meyer (such a football name) has already dismissed rumors, saying he'd be at Florida as long as they'd have him. But, my Brian Kelly, my Cincy coach has stayed mum. All he's said is that he's focusing on this season. Not good. Not good. Not good!! My Brian has turned a my mediocre program into a legit top ten program. I love him, more importantly my dad loves him. While,



While Weis was driving a historical program in the dirt, my Brian was making us the top ranked program in Ohio. Better than Ohio State! I told Courtney I would cut her if the Irish take my Brian. I'm a woman of my word.

I'm unsure how I feel about this. Charlie has done great things with the offense, but allowed the defense to...falter is a kind word. Brian Kelly- we'll see. I have good sources that say he's the guy, but whomever is making the decisions at ND, they're the ones messing up- Tyrone Willingham, Bob Davie and now Charlie- all fired, all bad choices. 


Let's get someone young, someone like Lou (Holtz) who can inspire the Irish again. Especially since we can pretty much kiss Jimmy and Golden (oh if only...) goodbye for next season.

Flipping for Golden.

Golden Tate is my hero. Love him, so much. I can't decide if I want to be his friend or his girlfriend. What a cutie.

Notre Dame vs. Washington. I almost died tonight, but it was worth it. Soaked from the rain and 50 degree weather. Felt like it was the middle of January. Then we go into overtime. I am practically in a coma from the cold. Cheering helps.

Golden does a freaking 360 flip in the air for us. It felt like it was for us. I was so cold that ending the game as soon as possible was the only thing I was thinking about, so him trying so hard felt personal.

37-30 win in overtime. So epic.

I want to be his girlfriend, then (after we both graduate) his wife. Theo Monet Tate. It's perfection! He's a hot cutie- can't do better than that. I'd change my last name for him.

-TM 

Then you would still have two first names. Theo Marshall. Theo Tate. TT. Omg. That JUST came to me. If you marry Golden could I call you TT? Please.

For Golden, yes.

Touchdown Tate.

I totally didn't even think about blogging about this last week, but after yesterday's game against Purdue (24-21 ND), it totally just occured to me.

At last Saturday's home game against Michigan State, Notre Dame wide reciever Golden Tate (love him) scored and took a insanely funny dive into Michigan State's Band.

So funny. Especially because it was Golden. He is so adorable. It was a almost total accident too, which is hysterical because you can totally see it on his face as he's trying to get out of there, he has the oh shiz look on his face.
"I thought the people were going to catch me, but I forgot that was Michigan State's band," Tate said. "And, like, I jumped up and they scattered real quick and there was the ground hitting me hard."

So funny. Seriously, look at the pure fear on their faces. I'm putting up this remix for you to get the full effect. Jump (haha) to :40 for the good stuff.
