Ultimate Fighting Championship Sunday, May 21, 2006 - Updated: 03:11 PM EST The Herald offers this exclusive inside report of all the latest news and action from the Ultimate Fighting Championship. If something's happening behind the scenes, or inside the octagon, you'll read it here first. UFC 61 set to go While most of the mixed martial arts world is focused on next weekend's UFC 60, featuring the much-anticipated bout between Matt Hughes and Royce Gracie, here's an exclusive to whet your appetite: UFC 61 is waiting in the wings. The pay-per-view event is officially called "UFC 61: Bitter Rivals" and it will take place on July 8 (10 p.m., EST) at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas. The main event will be the rubber match between heavyweights Tim Sylvia and Andrei Arlovski. Sylvia, 30, won the title at UFC 59 on April 15 by getting up off the mat to stop Arlovski at 2:43 of the first round. The 6-foot-1, 265-pounder floored the "Pit Bull" with a right hand and quickly pounced with a flurry of punches, forcing the stoppage. The 6-4, 240-pound Arlovski beat Sylvia in February of 2005 in a mere 47 seconds, forcing a submission with an ankle lock. The score will be settled in July. "I'm excited about going out there to fight Arlovski again," said Sylvia. "He's the best in the heavyweight division - next to me." The featured bout on the UFC 61 card will be another one that fans will be itching to see: Tito Ortiz vs. Ken Shamrock. The coaches from "The Ultimate Fighter 3" have been going at it for months during the show and will finally have the chance to settle their differences in the best way: battling it out in the octagon. Not that the hatred between the two is anything new. Its roots can actually be traced to a 1999 UFC show in Bay St. Louis, Miss. Shamrock, who was coaching at the time, had one of his fighters go up against Ortiz, who was a newcomer to the scene. Ortiz won, but Shamrock felt his performance was disrespectful and the two had words. They had a chance to settle things at UFC 40 in November of 2002. Ortiz won the fight by TKO after the third round when Shamrock's corner felt its fighter had had enough. The Spike TV show has obviously brought the rivalry back to a head. Ultimate Fighter 4 Speaking of the Spike TV show, which culminates with a June 24 live bout headlined by Kenny Florian vs. Sam Stout, the fourth season will offer viewers an interesting twist. [continue] 1 | 2 | Next » Home > Sports > Other Sports News > RSS Feed Ultimate Fighting Championship [continued from previous page] "The Ultimate Fighter: The Comeback" is set to debut Thursday, Aug. 17 at 10 p.m. on Spike. The fourth season will focus on fighters whose dream of winning a UFC title have never come true. The 16 former UFC fighters - eight middleweights and eight welterweights - are already gathered in Las Vegas for production of the series, which begain yesterday. Added to the drama of these guys all living in one house is the fact that some of them are former rivals, bringing revenge and redemption into the equation. The winning middleweight and welterweight will earn title fights and a six-figure cash prize. "The Ultimate Fighter 4 is the comeback season and it's going to be the most exciting yet," said UFC president Dana White. 'Everyone knows these fighters, but it's going to be a totally different show and we're pumped to get started on it." Instead of coaches for the two teams, prominent UFC personalities will serve as advisors and counsels for the 16 fighters. They include Randy Couture, Georges St. Pierre and Mark Delagrati. Your UFC Here's something new: "UFC ON DEMAND." This is the first in a number of initiatives to bring UFC content and programming directly to consumers through the Internet, mobile phones, and other new technologies. Customers will be able to watch any fight they want, whenever they choose, including the classics of yesteryear to today's UFC champions.

There are things I have to access for work that can only be accessed using IE. Also access for my wifes work as well requires IE, the page will just give you an error that you must be using IE if you try on Chrome, FF or Opera - I've tried. Some people access more than ghey pron which Im sure is great on Firefox, but I guess you'd be the authority on that too.
FF loads pages like Nutscrape which makes sense since it was built off Nutscrape. It takes longer for them to load using FF, always has. Dunno why there are so many FF fan bois out there, Chrome is a much better browser than FF. MS benchmarks mean nothing.

Author information
I was born in London and grew up in Hertfordshire and then in Dorset, where I went to Weymouth Grammar School (now Budmouth College). After seven months' voluntary work in rural India in 1984, I took up a place to study geography at Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge University, graduating in 1987. I then moved to the Open University to do research for a PhD on the geography of trade unionism in Britain under the supervision of Doreen Massey and John Allen. In 1990 I joined the University of Wales, Lampeter (then St David's University College) as Lecturer in Geography. I moved to Durham in 1993, first as Lecturer, then as Reader (2000), Professor (2004) and Head of Department (2010-2013). I spent 12 months as a visiting fellow at the Australian National University in Canberra (2004-05). I have also held visiting positions at the University of Cambridge and the University of British Columbia, among others.

I am hosting a formal launch and book signing event at Borders bookstore, Chapel Hills Mall, Colorado Springs, CO on Sunday, June 7th, from 12:00 noon to 4:00 pm. It would be great to see you there, but if you cannot make it, then I hope you still get your hands on a copy of my book.

Getting children involved in finding ways to become more physically active can not only make them more aware of local recreational opportunities, but can even help increase their own physical activity.
That's the result of a study examining the role of seven national parks in contributing to the health of today's youth. The study was conducted by researchers from a variety of disciplines at North Carolina State University and other U.S. universities and funded by the National Park Service.
The researchers developed pilot programs aimed at increasing the awareness of health benefits from participating in recreational activities at national parks and increasing physical activity by park visitors.
Dr. Myron Floyd, professor of parks, recreation and tourism management at NC State, specifically examined the use of Cuyahoga Valley National Park in Ohio by studying area middle-school students.
"We decided early on that engaging the community in activities the park had to offer would be crucial in developing this pilot program," Floyd said. "We had local 6th and 7th graders actually create the tagline to promote the program: Get Up, Get Out and Go!. The students also helped us determine what types of activities would get them interested enough to head out to the park."
The program comprised a series of events at Cuyahoga Valley National Park that began with a kickoff event, featured weekly activities such as scavenger hunts and fishing lessons, and concluded with a festival. Advertisements of the program and its events designed by the students themselves were placed in local papers, on bus boards and at health fairs.
Floyd's team compared awareness levels before and after the program and found out that the Get Up, Get Out and Go! worked. The study showed a significant increase in the level of awareness of Cuyahoga Valley National Park and its different offerings 31 percent before the program was implemented ve

DENVER - OCTOBER 03: Daniel Sedin #22 of the Vancouver Canucks takes a shot against the Colorado Avalanche during NHL action at the Pepsi Center on October 3, 2009 in Denver, Colorado. The Avalanche defeated the Canucks 3-0. (Photo by Doug Pensinger/Getty Images)
Given the age and ability of the players whose contracts are expiring the cycle of the team and all that has happened in Vancouver the last year we naturally wonder if the relationship will soon end between Henrik and Daniel Sedin and the Canucks. Not because the National Hockey League team doesn't need them but because the twins would be crazy to stay. The 33-year-olds have only a few seasons left to win a Stanley Cup the grail from which the Canucks appear to be gradually retreating. After more than a decade of superior play — a great stretch in franchise history that coincides with the Sedins' rise to stardom — the Canucks are due for a down cycle and serious market correction. Despite the brothers' ongoing status as two of the best and most productive forwards in the game some fans and reporters continue to swing at Danny and Hank as if they were pinatas. And now the Canucks have a tough-talking new coach in John Tortorella who has said he needs more from the Sedins...

On Saturday, April 26, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. a representative of the Franklin and Tilton Police Departments, along with the Franklin Mayor's Drug Task Force will be manning the collection site in the lot of the CVS Pharmacy at 861 Central St.
This Drug Take-Back event is a collaborative effort by the Franklin and Tilton Police Departments, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and the Franklin Mayor's Drug Task Force.
There is no charge for disposing unneeded medications at this event, and participants may do so anonymously.
The hope is that many area residents will take advantage of this valuable opportunity to safely dispose of prescription drugs. If you are unable to make it on April 26, you can access the Franklin Police Department's Medication Collection Box in the lobby of the department located at 5 Hancock Terrace in Franklin. The Collection Box is available 24/7 and anyone can anonymously drop pills and patches into the box, no questions asked.
"We are glad to participate in the annual DEA Take-Back event as an effort to create awareness of the prescription drug abuse issue, and we are very pleased with the response to the permanent collection box," says Franklin Police Chief David Goldstein. "The simple act of safely disposing of unneeded or outdated prescription drugs goes a long way toward creating a safer environment for our community," states Goldstein.
For more information on prevention of prescription drug abuse and how to talk to your kids about this dangerous problem, click on the link for the Franklin Mayor's Drug Task Force at www.franklinnh.org.
While over-the-counter and prescription medications can be brought to collection sites, the DEA cannot accept liquids or needles or other sharps.

Annalee Thorndike Art Competition Winners Announced
LACONIA — On Thursday evening, April 10, at the Belknap Mill in Laconia, the winners of the Annalee Thorndike Art Competition Scholarships were announced following a presentation by Karen and Chuck Thorndike. The competition involved students from a number of area high schools, all of whom are planning to major in art or an art related field in the fall.
The evening began with a brief presentation about Annalee Thorndike, the benefactor of the scholarship. It focused on her life and the business she created in the Lakes Region, with an exhibit of some of her original dolls as well as later dolls made in Meredith.
Following this presentation, the judges announced the winners. First place went to Lydia Swedberg of Inter-Lakes High School, second place to Brandon Sheppard of Belmont High School and third place to Holly Smith, also from Belmont High School. The other six students in the competition included: Michael Xiao, Kelsey Jarvis, Emily Wernig and Kelsey Burbee from Gilford High School, James Horne from Moultonborough Academy and Alyssa Woods from Belmont High School. All of these participants received gift certificates for art supplies from the Frates Creative Arts Center in Laconia.
This is the thirteenth year that scholarships have been awarded with funds provided by the Annalee Thorndike Foundation. Over the years, the Annalee endowment has awarded over $28,000 to students planning to study art or something in an art related field. The Lakes Region Scholarship Foundation, to whom Mrs. Thorndike entrusted the funds for her endowment, administers the scholarship competition.

Lakes Region Planning Commission to hold hazardous waste meeting on Monday
MEREDITH — The Lakes Region Planning Commission is hosting a commission meeting, which will feature a presentation on the region's household hazardous waste disposal program, its role in protecting our water bodies and water supplies, as well as some of the challenges and opportunities on the horizon.
The meeting will be held Monday, April 28, starting at 6 p.m., at the Northfield Town Hall, 21 Summer St., Northfield.
Much has been done over the years to protect the quality of the surface and ground water throughout the state and region. Great progress has been made in curtailing the discharge of deadly chemicals and human wastes directly into rivers and lakes.
There are, however, other sources of pollution around us — household hazardous wastes. These include items such as kitchen and drain cleaners, automotive products, pesticides, fertilizers, and oil-based paints.
For more than 25 years LRPC has coordinated a program to enable Lakes Region residents and property owners to safely dispose of toxic products from their home, reducing the likelihood of contamination of surface or ground water. At this meeting LRPC staff will lead a presentation about this successful, regional program.
Other topics of the commission meeting will include a presentation by Rep. Scott Burns of Franklin who is the prime sponsor of the pending HB 1570-FN regarding Paint Stewardship and a proposed budget revision to commission's FY 14 budget.
As association of 30 communities, the LRPC has active programs in land use and environmental planning, transportation, watershed protection, economic development, technical assistance, and information services.

RE:Two articles - one theme?
They are almost the same, but there's a nuance: Pure-Blood Directory was the book possibly by Cantankerous Nott, in which he listed the extant truly pure-blood families in Britain; Sacred Twenty-Eight is an umbrella term for the families themselves. Pretty much like there's Hogwarts: A History, and there's Hogwarts Castle itself. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 01:11, January 23, 2015 (UTC)

Many thanks for the compliments, Harry granger! It's sure been a while! Sadly, I've flown away from all my Pottermore accounts but the Ravenclaw one (how witty of me!) and although I check this wiki daily, I only edit infrequently. It's been three years, though, so that isn't too bad, I suppose 8-) --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 15:56, April 26, 2015 (UTC)
- I saw no use in having 4 Pottermore accounts, so I've narrowed it down to the one to make it easier. What I meant by "it's been three years" is that I joined this wiki in February 2012 and it now is April 2015 ... I've been here awhile, made a lot of cool friends, and made some memories, too. I may not edit as much, but I won't forget either :) --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 16:24, April 26, 2015 (UTC)

The Dead Island zombie uprising hasn't been quelled yet. Publisher Deep Silver today announced Dead Island Riptide. The project is currently in development at Techland and is slated to arrive on consoles and PC.
The company gave no further details on Dead Island Riptide, but Deep Silver said it is planning an "extensive reveal" of the project for sometime this summer. Last month, Deep Silver denied a report suggesting Spec Ops: The Line developer Yager was at work on a Dead Island sequel.
The original Dead Island was developed by Techland and shipped in September 2011 to generally positive review scores. The game shipped 3 million copies and welcomed various add-on packs. Speculation about a follow-up sparked in November, when Techland filed a trademark application for Dead World.

Remnants of the First Earth
Ray A. Young Bear's work has been called "magnificent" by The New York Times and "a national treasure" by Bloomsbury Review. Dazzlingly original, but with deep roots in his traditional Mesquakie culture, Young Bear is a master wordsmith poised with trickster-like aplomb between the ancient world of his forefathers and the ever-encroaching "blurred face of modernity".
Remnants of the First Earth continues the story of Edgar Bearchild -- Young Bear's fictionalized alter ego -- which began with Black Eagle Child, a New York Times Notable Book for 1992. Young Bear revisits the Black Eagle Child Settlement and its residents, including Ted Facepaint, Rose Grassleggings, Junior Pipestar, Lorna Bearcap, and Luciano Bearchild. At the center of the novel is a murder investigation involving a powerful shaman holding court at the local Ramada Inn, negligent white cops from nearby Why Cheer, and corrupt tribal authorities. This lyrical narrative swirls through the present and into the mysteries of the age-old stories and myths that still haunt, inform, and enlighten this uniquely American community.

Condition Census 1853 Seated Dollar, A Frosty Gem1853 $1 MS65 NGC. The Philadelphia Mint produced 46,110 Silver Dollars in 1853, a sizeable total, especially when one considers that old tenor silver coins of all denominations had ceased to circulate after the discovery of gold in California. While most Seated Dollars produced in the 1850s were exported, Bowers suggests that a decent number of coins dated 1853 remained within the United States. Indeed, representatives of the 1853 delivery are among the most plentiful Seated Dollars from this decade in today's market. We caution bidders, however, that most 1853 Dollars extant are circulated to one degree or another. Bowers does note that a small hoard of Mint State examples may have come to light in the 1970s or early 1980s, all of which are either brilliant or golden toned with thickly frosted luster. The present Gem fits this description, the surfaces being peripherally toned in gold and orange-russet hues, the luster being fully frosted in texture. Regardless of whether or not this coin is from the small hoard the Bowers describes, it is certainly one of the finest 1853 Seated Dollars available to specialists. The strike is razor sharp in all areas except over the top of the eagle's left (facing) wing, and the surfaces are remarkably abrasion-free for a Seated Dollar of any date. A small luster graze in the right obverse field before Liberty's knee is the only mentionable pedigree marker. NGC and PCGS combined have seen just two coins in MS65, and none finer (8/01). (NGC ID# 24YS, PCGS# 6941)

Obama to Keep Israel's Nuclear 'Secrets'
40 Years of Poorly Kept Secrets to Continue
Israeli officials breathed a collective sigh of relief today, as a senior Israeli diplomat assured that the nation's massive nuclear arsenal, well known though never publicly acknowledged, would remain a secret.
Previous speculation was that President Obama might make Israel come clean about its vast arsenal while pursuing an agreement with Iran on its civilian program, but the diplomat claimed assurances that the US would maintain the "don't ask, don't tell policy."
Earlier this month, Assistant US Secretary of State Rose Gottemoeller made headlines in Israel for suggesting that the administration wanted Israel, among other parties, to join the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). Joining the treaty would oblige Israel to open its arsenal to public scrutiny, after 40 years as a poorly guarded secret. Israel condemned the comments at the time.
Hardly a year goes by when a top Israeli official does not accidentally admit to the arsenal's existence, yet the United States has had a policy for the past 40 years of keeping the weapons "from becoming an established international fact." It seems that policy is going to continue.

Musa acuminata (banana)
Species information
Musa acuminata Colla
banana, dwarf banana
Widespread in cultivation.
Banana grows well in warm, humid tropical and subtropical climates. It prefers well-drained, moist soil and can grow on a range of different soil types including sandy, loamy and clay soils.
Food, building materials, fibre.
About this species
Musa acuminata is the wild ancestor of the cultivated banana. Thousands of years of domestication have produced a delicious edible fruit consumed by millions of people throughout the world. The yellow variety known as the Cavendish, which populates supermarket shelves, represents just a small proportion of global production.
The diversity within banana is huge ranging from sweet to savoury, bent to straight and varying in colour from green, yellow, pink, silvery or even striped and spotted. The fruits of the banana contain high levels of minerals such as phosphorus, calcium and potassium as well as vitamins A and C. Their high carbohydrate content makes them a favourite with sports people while the potassium they contain helps in avoiding muscle cramp.
The majority of dessert bananas eaten today derive from Musa acuminata and are mainly eaten raw. Plantains which are more starchy and less sweet are a hybrid between Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana are usually cooked and eaten as a vegetable. Morphologically wild banana is very different to its cultivar.
The wild species contains seeds, while cultivated bananas are almost always seedless (parthenocarpic) and are therefore sterile and dependent on vegetative propagation by means of corms. For this reason, they lack genetic diversity and are therefore susceptible to pests and diseases.
Bananas are extremely versatile and beyond their use as food for humans, they provide shelter, building materials and fibre among other things, and are even used by some in rituals and religious ceremonies.

Geography and distribution
Edible bananas and plantains are thought to have originated in Southeast Asian and western Pacific regions where their inedible, seed-bearing, diploid (containing two sets of chromosomes) ancestors can still be found today. Edible banana first occurred through the natural crossing of various inedible diploid species of Musa acuminata resulting in sterile hybrids which were seedless (parthenocarpic) and triploid, containing three sets of chromosomes. Local people soon discovered that these hybrids had edible fruits and they began to propagate the plants vegetatively by suckers. Before long the crosses that produced the tastiest fruits were selected, cultivated, propagated and distributed as a food crop. Today Musa acuminata is distributed mainly on margins of tropical rainforests. The largest producer of banana today is India.
Overview: There is a huge amount of morphological variability in the cultivated banana. Musa spp. which include banana and plantain, are not trees but giant herbs with a pseudostem (formed from the bases of leaves rolled tightly around each other). Members of this genus can grow up to 15 m tall making them the largest perennial herb in the world.
Roots: Banana plants cultivated vegetatively do not have one main taproot; instead they have a root system that is fleshy and adventitious.
Leaves: Leaves are arranged spirally and are up to 2.7 metres long and 60 cm wide.
Flowers and fruits: Male flowers are borne at the tip of the inflorescence and, beneath them, separated by several sterile flowers, are the female flowers which develop into fruits. In the case of the cultivated banana the fruits develop parthenocarpically and are seedless. The fruits are arranged in hands, each formed of 10-20 bananas (fingers).
The cultivated banana is an important crop in the tropics and subtropics, providing energy and nutrient rich food for millions of people throughout the world. For many people living in the tropics, the banana is a staple crop, providing food from the fruit, bud and leaf as well as building materials, shelter, wrappings for food and other items, even burial shrouds. They are also commonly cultivated for ornamental purposes and for their fibres. Bananas have a spiritual significance for many people and they are used in fertility rituals and are planted in sacred precincts in India.
As a food, banana is used in a multitude of different ways:
- The fruit can be simply peeled and eaten, or sliced and served in salads, cakes, custards and ice-cream.
- It is often baked with dough to make banana bread or topped with sugar and cinnamon and eaten on pancakes.
- In the South Pacific ripe bananas are mashed, mixed with coconut cream and scented with Citrus leaves to make a thick fragrant drink.
- Many infants throughout the world start their journey from milk to solid food with banana puree.
- The addition of ascorbic acid to prevent discoloration means that it can be successfully canned and sold in supermarkets.
- In Costa Rica the ripe bananas are peeled and boiled slowly for several hours to make a thick syrup called 'honey'.
- In Africa, ripe bananas are fermented into beer and wine.
In the tropics banana leaves are commonly used as plates and for wrapping and storing food. Holding a banana leaf by the petiole makes an effective umbrella. The peel of dried banana has a high tannin content and is used to blacken leather. The ash from the dried peel of the banana is rich in potash and is used in soap-making.
Banana has many medicinal uses. To list just a few:
- the flowers are used to treat bronchitis and diabetes
- the astringent plant sap is reputed to be effective in treating hysteria, epilepsy, fever, diarrhoea and can also relieve haemorrhoids and insect bites and stings
- the young leaves are used as poultices on burns
- the roots are used for digestive problems
- the peel and pulp of ripe bananas are found to have anti-fungal and antibiotic properties
Crop wild relatives of banana
The Millennium Seed Bank and the Global Crop Diversity Trust are engaged in a ten-year project, called 'Adapting Agriculture to Climate Change'. The project aims to protect, collect and prepare the wild relatives of 29 key food crops, including banana, so that they are available to pre-breeders for the development of new varieties that are more resilient to the effects of climate change.
The importance of genetic diversity is highlighted by the tragedy of Panama disease in the 1950s. At that time, the commercially dominant banana, the Gros Michel, was virtually wiped out by a single fungus, Fusarium oxysporum, which causes Panama Disease.
This seedless banana saw worldwide popularity in the 1940s and as the demand for this particular species grew, farmers of the Gros Michel banana began to produce this species almost exclusively. These bananas lacked the genetic diversity necessary to survive the disease because their self-pollinating style of reproduction meant that they were all genetically identical to each other.
The industry turned to the disease resistant Cavendish banana, which is the cultivar widely seen on supermarket shelves today. Although resistant to Panama Disease, the Cavendish, like the Gros Michel, is a monoculture. This lack of genetic diversity leaves the Cavendish vulnerable to being wiped out by another disease or even an evolved strain of Panama Disease.
Wild relatives and cultivars of the banana have a wealth of genetic diversity which can be used to transfer useful traits such as disease resistance to the crop. Research is ongoing to maintain and increase the importance of banana as a staple food and cash crop.
Millennium Seed Bank: Seed storage
The Millennium Seed Bank Partnership aims to save plants worldwide, focusing on those plants which are under threat and those which are of most use in the future. Once seeds have been collected they are dried, packaged and stored at -20°C in our seed bank vault.
Number of seed collections stored in the Millennium Seed Bank: One
Seed storage behaviour: Intermediate (meaning that the seeds are more tolerant of desiccation than recalcitrants, though that tolerance is much more limited than is the case with orthodox seeds).
This species at Kew
Pressed and dried specimens of banana are held in Kew's Herbarium, where they are available to researchers by appointment. Details and images, of some of these specimens can be seen online in Kew's Herbarium Catalogue.

As I said before, I will keep my crappy box and play crappy games on my Win7 and I'll be happy. Go and customize your kernel and show us how 'leet' you really are. I will go over swell with teh ladiez.
Windows PC game sales are at their lowest ever, game developers are leaving Windows as a primary gaming development platform and sales are piss poor compared to consoles.
Microsoft Windows is at it's lowest market share for the last 10 years, it's shrinking. Linux is dominant in the server sector and Linux is strong in the Netbook sector.
I wouldn't use Microsoft's monopoly as your point because Microsoft didn't get where they are by selling good and honest OS's. Also, Linux has forced Microsoft to change their business ways and they openly admit that Linux is becoming their biggest competitor. The only way Microsoft could keep the Netbook market was to sell an eight year old OS called Windows XP, because Vista wasn't good enough and Windows 7 is a response to that, not because users wanted something better.
It's you Windows users that are deluded, thinking Microsoft made Windows 7 for the users, when it was for their own changing and dying business model.

Alright, Irish fans, I think it's time to admit something. I am at heart a Michigan fanatic and have spent many years hoping for Notre Dame losses. This time, however, I find myself hoping Michigan loses so Rich Rod can just go away. I spent the last several years hoping Notre Dame could find a good coach on the same level as Lou Holtz because I believe very strongly that Notre Dame vs. Michigan just isn't the same, isn't as special, without both teams being top quality programs every year.
Just as much as I love Michigan, I want Notre Dame to finish second to my beloved Wolverines. I know, I know, here I am writing about the Irish. So what? In fact, it's more fun this way. Writing about your hated rival, and writing for that rival's fans, is rewarding in a special kind of way. Being from the South Bend area, and working near the campus, gives me the opportunity to provide insights fans from afar might not get.
Notre Dame provides a special atmosphere for each game. The campus is beautiful and special, from the Golden Dome to the reflecting pool in front of the famed Touchdown Jesus (the Hesburgh Library, the bands marching like warriors into the stadium before and after the game, and the spiritual sense that envelopes all visitors. The stadium still has wood bleachers, and fans are squashed next to each other so tight sometimes they don't even all fit, but nobody is ever disappointed in the Notre Dame experience.
Now, with both Michigan and Notre Dame coming off opening day wins, this rivalry between the two winningest programs in NCAA football history is set to be just as fierce as any other year. Still, something is missing. Neither team is top 25 material yet. Notre Dame beat a struggling Purdue program, and Michigan won by a margin that would have been unacceptable just five years ago.
Michigan fans are restless, struggling with a coach who seems unable to appreciate the Michigan tradition, while Notre Dame is adjusting to their fifth coach (Bob Davey, George O'Leary, Ty Willingham, Charlie Weiss, and Brian Kelly) since 1998.
A Notre Dame win earns Kelly praise and respect for at least three weeks regardless of the results of upcoming games. Michigan's Rich Rod has to win to keep Wolverine fans from tearing him to shreds. Yet this game will be played on the field by college students. It will be unpredictable, full of emotion, and filled with mistakes.
Michigan looks to their star quarterback, Denard "Shoelace" Robinson, while Notre Dame will turn to their defense and an intelligently coached and patient offense. Neither team is ready to start competing for national titles just yet, but Notre Dame at least has the potential to find success throughout the year. Michigan's hopes hinge on the non-conference games and a few upset bids in late fall.
Michigan just is not ready for this stage yet, leaving Notre Dame the Victors once again. Notre Dame should win 27-13 in front of nearly 81,000 fans and millions of TV viewers nation-wide.
