Top 10 Frugal Tips: Part One
Two of the best ways to get ahead financially are to earn more and to spend less. If you are looking to spend less and to embrace frugality, there are 10 tips that will help you keep more money in your pocket. These strategies are useful for anyone, but especially if you currently have a limited income due to job loss or reduction or to pursuing higher education.
Tip # 1: Do Without
Oftentimes we think we need something only to find it gathering dust a few weeks later, after the novelty has worn off. One blogger I know has urged people not to buy stuff. Buy necessities like food and personal care items, but don't buy "stuff." For instance, if you have three pairs of jeans, do you really need a fourth pair? Sure, you might have to do the laundry more often, but three pairs should be plenty.
Tip # 2: Find It For Free
So you have tried to do without and determined that you really do need the item. Let's say you can't stand the heat of summer anymore and you want an air conditioner. Before you pull out any money, why not see if you can find it for free? Freecycle.org is a great place to look for items that you may need that others no longer want. You can also try asking around. My mom works at a university, and she had two air conditioners she was no longer using. A grad student was complaining about how hot his apartment was, and she let him borrow the air conditioner for the summer.
Tip # 3: Buy It Used
The Duggars, America's most famous big family, often recites the motto, "Buy it used and save the difference." Indeed, you don't have to be a family of 21 like the Duggars to benefit from this slogan. Craigslist.org is a wonderful resource to buy things you need at a discounted price as are garage sales. I bought a blender at a garage sale 15 years ago for $3. It just now is reaching the point where it needs to be replaced. Let someone else pay full price; you can buy it used and save quite a bit of money.
Tip # 4: Don't Pay Full Price—Ever
There really is no reason to pay full price for something. If you can't find it for free or used, there are other strategies you can use such as waiting until it is on sale or clearance. Using coupons is another way to reduce the price. Combining coupons with a sale price will often reduce the price significantly.
Tip # 5: Negotiate
Everything is negotiable. When you realize this and become comfortable with the negotiation process, you will be able to save thousands of dollars. The best strategy to negotiate successfully is to be willing to walk away, which you can do if you take your emotions out of the process. We found an apartment we loved last winter, but it was out of our price range. We were beginning the negotiation process with the landlord, but he decided he didn't want to negotiate at that point and kept looking for a renter who would pay full price. Two weeks later, I was surprised when he called us up and asked if we would still like the apartment. He was willing to pay all of our utilities including our electric if we signed immediately. This arrangement easily saved us $2,000 a year because we were willing to walk away even though we loved the apartment.
Learning to be more frugal requires a change in mindset, but once that change is made, the smart financial choices become second nature. Next week we will finish the series with five more tips for living a frugal lifestyle.
What are your favorite frugal living tips?

Gilbert Arenas: Why Does Washington Wizards Star Feel Under-Appreciated?
Gilbert Arenas of the Washington Wizards is reportedly taking his "sidekick" role next to John Wall pretty hard.
According to SLAM Online, Arenas has resigned himself to the fact that his days with the Wizards may be numbered. He says that he isn't the player that he used to be ever since his suspension from the team last season.
And apparently when Gilbert Arenas is upset, he experiments with footwear.
During several games this season, Arenas has worn some very flashy (and very expensive) shoes, including the pair he wore when the Wizards played the Lakers on Tuesday.
You won't find any Nike or Adidas shoes here.
Oh no, Gilbert Arenas was rocking some $395 Dolce & Gabanna sneakers.
Read on for the latest news on Gilbert Arenas and his eccentric behavior.

You've said previously that your 'IRL' personality is quite different from your online one. I think that's quite likely (since most anonymous trolls on the internets would get their comeuppance acting like jerks in real life).
But I think on this here site here most people are a little more genuinely themselves. Who knows, maybe I'm wrong there.
"Explain how I should be treating people if I am doing it wrong. "
Treat other people as if they are worth just as much as you are. Believe it. Because they are. Even if you can run faster than them, punch harder than them, make more money than them, think faster than them, argue longer than them, whatever metrics you use to determining best/worth/valuable, suspend them.
Let others praise you. If they aren't, maybe what you are doing isn't as praise worthy as you thought. Maybe you need to find a way of developing self esteem that isn't built up by tearing others down.
Try to work out what's going on inside their heads. I am a big fan of games like Settlers of Catan to help develop this skill , since you can play it in a social and competitive context Working out where other people are coming from, where they are at emotionally, how they relate to their environment can make a huge difference as to how you choose to relate to them. There's no one right way to talk to people. Context matters.

How important is a Forex fan blog?
Since the introduction of social networks, many people have run to forum and blogs to share and garnered information on various fields. As expected the Forex trade has not been left behind in coming up with engaging and very informative forums and fan pages. All these are aimed at fostering Forex education; an integral part of the currency trade. In trying to define a blog, one thing stands out clear that the main idea is to share informative posts and then engage the blog site visitors to leave their comments (be it questions or complements). It is true that there only exist a slight difference between a blog and forum (both of which are common in the Forex world) but one thing is clear that while a blog only allows one discussion starter, a forum allows many people to start different threads on a Forex topic of their choice.
A step by step procedure of creating a Forex fan blog starts with the choosing of the right domain name and registering it. The domain name uniquely identifies one's blog site from the billions that there are online and thus need to be catchy, descriptive but short and with the right extension. A domain name is only good as the number of people who can remember it, therefore a Forex blog starter should have a unique but easy to remember name. Upon the name registration, it is time to activate the site by setting up a webhosting account. Most Forex blogs do not attract a lot of cash in terms of hosting fee thus should not be a hindrance. Without a hosting service provider, the domain name remains inactive and thus useless prompting speedy search for a credible and affordable hosting site. To avoid unnecessary termination of site hosting due to unpaid fees, a Forex blog should be subscribed for a period of at least 2 years since Forex sites are mostly busy and going offline can be a big let down to information seekers.
Once the blog is hosted, it is time to install the WordPress plug-in on the site. However, there are things to consider before installing WordPress onto a Forex blog. First, ensure that the host meets the basic WordPress requirements such as the latest PHP (the most common scripting language that can be easily embedded into the Hypertext Markup Language-HTML) and MySQL versions. The latter is essential for managing linked databases and which can serve multiple users. After the necessary plug-ins are in place, the Forex fan blog is considered completely setup and ready to use.
Importance of a Forex Fan Blog
Forex market is the most demanding and also one of the most competitive businesses in the world. Trying to get people to be interested in one's business requires intuitive ideas to attract traffic to one's site. Nothing does this well than a blog site where the visitors will have a say on the materials and available services. With an increased audience, the trader or the Forex firm has the chance to constructively engage people on things that are relevant to them. In the process sales are usually improved.
In an instance where a certain Forex Strategy was being promoted or even in the case of a new Forex robot, a real time feedback on the performance of the product is vital. With a fan blog, it will be easy to get these updates and thus guide the trader on how to improve their product (s) further. Positive feedback can also help position an individual as an expert and thus improve the personal credibility as well as the institutions. Answering people's questions on technical analysis, Scalping or even on Stop-Loss-Order are a recipe for an improved image in the Forex world.
Since Forex is a growing industry with new ways of making money being invented almost on a daily basis, a blog would therefore offer the avenue to test a new idea. How people react to the idea can encourage one to modify the idea or simply put it into use if it has most endorsements. Reading feedbacks on how the Forex advisor a trader developed is performing, for instance, does encourage and often promotes one to try new ideas with the aim of bettering the current.
Fan blogs are the best ways of getting real time updates on how a product or Forex trading strategy is performing. They are also easy to set up and comparatively cheaper to host and maintain since WordPress does come with themes.

LAS VEGAS — When a state athletic commission official asked Frank Mir where he was between rounds, he named the wrong casino.
That's a pretty good indication Junior Dos Santos' punches already were doing their job.
The UFC's heavyweight champion knew exactly where he was and what he was doing — and Dos Santos swiftly showed Mir the door.
Dos Santos flattened Mir with a huge right hand and finished him on the ground at 3:04 of the second round Saturday night, emphatically defending his belt at UFC 146 on Saturday night.
Dos Santos (15-1) picked apart the two-time ex-champion with superior boxing throughout the fight, eventually sending Mir stumbling onto his back before finishing him with one last blow to the head. Dos Santos then wrapped himself in the Brazilian flag while celebrating his first title defense since taking the belt from Cain Velasquez last fall.
"I'm feeling awesome," a smiling Dos Santos shouted to the pro-Brazilian crowd. "It's not bad for a nice guy, huh? ... Frank Mir is a really good fighter, too. I came here to defend my belt, and I did it."
Mir was staggered by multiple blows, including a big body shot, late in the first round, and he barely made it to the bell. After declaring he was at the Mandalay Bay instead of the MGM Grand Garden, Mir was allowed to keep fighting — but the beating didn't go on much longer.
"My game plan is always to keep the fight on my feet and go for the knockout," Dos Santos said. "I tried to get him a little tired in the first round, and then go for it. When you believe so much in your performance and yourself, it happens."
Velasquez stopped Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva late in the first round after administering a bloody beating that both thrilled and horrified fans. Roy Nelson, Stipe Miocic and Stefan Struve also won on a pay-per-view card topped with five heavyweight fights, a first in UFC history.
Dos Santos never faced trouble in the fight's eight minutes after easily avoiding an opening-minute takedown attempt by Mir, who hoped his superior jiu-jitsu skills would allow him to avoid Dos Santos' unparalleled striking ability. Mir, who turned 33 on Thursday, has the most heavyweight victories in UFC history, but he couldn't match Dos Santos' skills.
"He's a champ," Mir said. "He's fast. I couldn't get out of the way. He hit me hard. There were just too many of them, and they were hard shots. I couldn't do anything about it."
Mir stumbled back several steps after Dos Santos' decisive right hand. Dos Santos followed him and added one last head shot before referee Herb Dean
saved Mir.
"That surprised me a lot," Dos Santos said. "Man, this guy can take a punch. My hand is hurt."
Dos Santos downplayed the revenge element of beating Mir, who broke the arm of Dos Santos' mentor, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, in a fight in December.
Mir (16-6) had won three straight fights since losing a title shot to Shane Carwin in March 2010, but couldn't reclaim the belt he held in 2004 before getting into a serious motorcycle accident and again in early 2009 before losing to Brock Lesnar.
Velasquez (10-1) finished Silva at 3:36 of the first round, but only after pulverizing the 6-foot-4 Brazilian with a relentless series of blows after an early takedown. Silva (16-4) was cut on his face early in the beating, sending streams of blood down his face and onto the canvas, eventually coating both fighters' torsos.
"I knew he was going to be a tough guy to finish, and he posed certain threats," Velasquez said. "But I'm happy I was able to go in there and perform. I took my time and waited to get good position to turn it on and finish the fight."
The fight was stopped once to allow Silva's corner to clear the blood from his eyes, but Velasquez promptly resumed the beating until the fight was finished. The former Arizona State wrestler was ferociously impressive in his first bout since losing the belt to Dos Santos in just 64 seconds during the UFC's first prime-time Fox show.
"What you've done in the past, you've got to get over that," Velasquez said. "This is a step in the right direction."
The 32-year-old Silva appeared to be outmatched in his UFC debut after a lengthy MMA career highlighted by his dominant Strikeforce victory over Fedor Emelianenko in February 2011.
Nelson (18-7) added another impressive stoppage victory to his list, catching Dave Herman (21-4) with an overhand right that sent him sprawling backward onto the canvas. Nelson landed one more shot before the fight was stopped.

by RuPaul
Strutting into the Zeitgeist like some morphed cross between Mae West and Shaquille O'Neal, RuPaul isn't your ordinary drag queen. Talented, irrepressible and nearly seven feet tall (not counting heels), he bucked long odds to become a mainstream celebrity: a hip MTV fixture who had a hit song ("Supermodel"), performed at Disney World and even cut a single with Elton John. RuPaul's touching account of his journey from drugged-out go-go dancer to pop-culture icon is a captivating drag-to-riches story that celebrates perseverance and press-on nails.
"I'm going to show you that I am just like everybody else," proclaims RuPaul Andre Charles, who idolized Diana Ross at age 4, sawed the breasts off his Barbie doll at 5 and once marched against the KKK in fishnet stockings and high heels.
Overcoming a troubled childhood in San Diego, RuPaul embarked on a singular quest for stardom that led to New York City go-go bars, The Gong Show and, eventually, MTV Despite a graphic chapter on his cross-dressing techniques, Lettin It All Hang Out is not a ready-for-banning drag queen's handbook; RuPaul cheerily flaunts his show-business savvy, not his sexuality. If he's a little taken with his own gumption ("RuPaul is a boundless energy that can pour itself into whatever shape it wants"), who can blame him? Anyone who has to shave his fingers and toes before photo shoots has earned the right to revel in his success. (Hyperion, $19.95)

Erie turns 100
CENTENNIAL OF ERIE: "The Celebration Will be a Monster Affair and Thousands of Visitors Are Expected," read the headline in the Erie Daily Times on Sept. 9, 1895, announcing festivities in honor of Erie's 100th birthday. Events included parades, concerts, yacht racing, a 100-gun salute, fireworks over the bay and "refreshments served by ladies in old time costumes (and) a good meal for 25 cents."
One hundred years prior, on April 18, 1795, Erie was born when the Pennsylvania Legislature passed an "Act to Establish a Town at Presque Isle." By July of that year, some of Erie's first citizens, Revolutionary War veteran Col. Seth Reed and his wife and two children, arrived in Erie.
Erie's centennial also saw the opening of Erie's first city hall. The brick-and-brownstone building was decorated with stained glass and ornate tiles. That building was demolished in 1963 to make way for Erie's current city hall.
Taking advantage of the Free Library Act of 1895, which placed libraries under school district control, the city laid the cornerstone for the Erie Public Library building on South Park Row in 1895. The library building was dedicated Feb. 16, 1899.

Eclipse will have all of the tortured, mortal angst that Kristen Stewart's character, Bella Swan, goes through in Twilight and New Moon – but with more action, more blood, and yes, more Robert Pattinson.
The book picks up with Pattinson's character, Edward Cullen, and Bella reunited as a couple, while Jacob (Taylor Lautner) continues to vie for Bella's heart. But as Edward and Jacob compete for Bella's affections, the clans of vampires and werewolves unite over the common enemy: A set of murderous vampires (including the Volturi) who are on the hunt for Bella.
Here's what to expect on and off set in Vancouver as filming gets underway.
New Faces on Set
With Rachelle Lefevre no longer portraying the blood-thirsty Victoria, Bryce Dallas Howard will step in to fill her role. Another new face is Australian actor Xavier Samuel, who plays a recruit in Victoria's army of vampires out for Bella's blood. Eclipse also provides meatier plotlines and more screen time for fan favorites Nikki Reed and Jackson Rathbone, who play Rosalie and Jasper Hale.
Rob and Kristen Together
While their characters get engaged in the movie, Pattinson and Stewart have been spending more time together off set as well. Starting Aug. 6 in Los Angeles, the pair spent two nights in a row together, attending concerts at the Hotel Café and then mingling with pals at the Chateau Marmont. Word on the movie set is that "[Michael] Angarano and Kristen Stewart are completely broken up," a source tells PEOPLE. "Everyone is pretty convinced that the Pattinson and Stewart are hooking up."
The vampires and werewolves are training for more intense fight scenes. "In Eclipse there is an epic battle," screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg told Entertainment Tonight. "With every book, with every episode of the movie, it gets grander in scale." The actors are planning accordingly: In Vancouver, they've begun fight training and getting in shape for the demanding roles. Peter Facinelli joked that to prepare, "I re-read Eclipse, I read the script. And then I got on a treadmill."
Cast Bonding
After arriving in Vancouver, Reed, Facinelli, Lautner, Howard, Rathbone, Kellan Lutz, Ashley Greene and producer Wyck Godfrey all convened over dinner in a private room at CinCin Restaurant on Robson Street. "It's really enjoyable," Greene says of hanging with the cast. "We can just be open and honest." Other favorite hangouts include the Glowball Grill, where Pattinson likes the spaghetti and meatballs, and the Yaletown Brewery, where the male cast members have gone for after-work drinks.
Final Film?
Eclipse is the last planned filmed adaptation of The Twilight Saga – for now. "I haven't heard anything about Breaking Dawn," Facinelli told Twilight Examiner on Aug. 3. "When we shot Twilight, no one knew if it was going to be a success or not, and we didn't know if we were going to shoot a second movie or not … If New Moon performs in the box office, and the fans come out, and Eclipse, then that's their way of saying they want more. I'm hoping when New Moon comes out they'll push the green button."

Neil's Free Evening Lecture Podcasts
Throughout the fall, winter and spring, RMSP holds free monthly lectures presented by a variety of speakers on a variety of photographic topics. Neil Chaput de Saintonge lectures a couple of times throughout this series each year. He loves talking about photography and impromptu lectures aren't uncommon. On May 11th he held a bonus lecture on basic exposure. In the email we sent out announcing his lecture he explained:
My lecture on landscape photography was presented to a very full house last month. I'm realizing more and more that exposure is a topic that most people really don't understand as well as they should. So, I am adding a lecture on exposure to our agenda. This will be basic to intermediate information and should really help photographers in their effort to understand and simplify the way they shoot. And, for those interested, at 8:30pm (immediately following the lecture) I will give a short talk about what my school offers in photographic education. More and more people want to make some extra income with their photography and I will give you some ideas for how you might be able to do that. I will end the evening with a short lecture on why switching your focus to the back of the camera will make your photography so much easier – you'll love it.
We had a ton of requests on Facebook and via email for a podcast of Neil's lecture…ask and you shall receive!

Many Bookdog users have told me that they are beginning to use online social bookmarks storage services such as Yahoo's del.icio.us™ and Google Bookmarks™ instead of keeping their bookmarks on their hard drives. It makes sense, because while the biggest disadvantage of keeping data online is that you don't have it while you're offline, your bookmarks are generally useless while you're offline anyhow.
One's first thought is that reliability of an online storage service should be better, since these large corporations do a better job backing up data than 'the rest of us'. On second thought, however, many people are leery of storing data only on a free service whose Service Agreement clearly states over and over again that they owe you nothing and are not responsible for anything. (You do recall checking that little box, don't you.)
Control of your data is another issue. Anyone who's ever switched internet service providers has learned that it's better in the long run to have your own domain name. Likewise with social bookmarking; what's hot today may be not so in a year or two. And you may want to try out different services.
We started out with support for Google Bookmarks™ because there was nothing yet available for Mac users. With Bookdog 4.2, you can copy some or all of your bookmarks to Google™, learn how it works, and if you don't like it, copy 'em back, whenever you want to. It took an act of Congress to get cell-phone number portability a few years ago, but I'm happy to say that now bookmarks portability is available with a few clicks in Bookdog.
Finally, people get confused about what happens to all the folders they put their bookmarks in, and how these relate to the 'labels' they see in Google Bookmarks™ and the 'tags' they see in del.icio.us™. I didn't know either, so when I figured it out we wrote an article in Bookdog's Help to explain it.
Another article documents some other tips I've learned about Google Bookmarks™ that don't seem to be documented anywhere. I was going to call it Google Bookmarks: The Missing Manual, but I believe a book publisher out there has trademarked that.

FROSTBURG, Md. -While it's doubtful that the Hedgesville marching band had any ill motives in playing "Safety Dance" early in their game against Mountain Ridge Friday night, it nevertheless served to foreshadow the outcome, as the Miners surrendered two safeties among four misplayed long snaps as the Eagles smothered Mountain Ridge by a 43-0 final.
Hunter Weaver had 141 total yards and two touchdowns for Hedgesville, while Rashaan Shanton had 113 yards and three touchdowns.
Mountain Ridge was helpless offensively, registering just two first downs on a meager 73 yards of total offense, which were completely negated by four misplayed punts that the Eagles converted into 18 points.
Ben Hadra led the Miners with 34 yards on eight carries, while Ty Brooks added 25 yards on nine carries.
The Miners went three-and-out on their first drive, after which the Eagles went two-and-in on theirs, with consecutive runs from Shanton of 18 and 56 yards to put the Eagles on the board 6-0.
On Mountain Ridge's third drive, the Miners coughed up the ball inside their own 20.
It only took the Eagles two plays to get another score, as a 6-yard run from Weaver was followed by Shanton's second touchdown of the quarter to put Hedgesville up 13-0.
The Miners got the ball back with under three and a half minutes to go in the first quarter, and a run from Ty Brooks set up a first down at their 27, and after Ben Hadra was stopped at the line, Brooks gained a couple more yards, but Cody Stephens's pass was off, setting up another punt for Russell Beeman. The snap went over his head, and Beeman covered the ball at his own 1-yard line.
From there, Lane Riner snuck the ball in to give the Eagles a 20-0 lead heading into the second quarter.
Mountain Ridge went three-and-out on the next drive, and again the snap to Beeman for the punt went over his head.
This time, the ball was downed in the end zone for the first of Hedgesville's two safeties, making the score 22-0.
Getting the ball back, the Eagles gained no further traction but landed the punt just outside the goal line of Mountain Ridge, and they were unable to make much forward progress either.
Beeman was able to get the punt off this time, setting up Hedgesville at midfield.
Penalties took chunks of the Eagles' drive, but Riner's arm got Hedgesville out of trouble. On second-and-13 he found Weaver for a 15-yard gain, and three plays later the pair connected in the end zone to give the Eagles a 28-0 lead with 2:19 to go in the half.
The Miners went another three-and-out, and once again ran into trouble on the long-snap.
This time, the ball went low, and was downed at the 16.
On Hedgesville's first play, Riner found Shanton for his third touchdown of the night to put the Eagles up 35-0 heading into the locker room.
Playing under Maryland rules, the massive gap - one which the Miners had put on many an opponent last season - meant that there would be a rolling clock for the second half. After Hedgesville opened the abbreviated half with a three-and-out, Mountain Ridge started its first drive of the half around midfield, and made it to the Eagles' 21.
On fourth and 1, however, Stephens was taken down attempting a lateral, losing five yards and returning the ball to Hedgesville in the process.
Weaver took the first handoff and rumbled into the end zone, a 74-yard scoring play that gave Hedgesville a 41-0 lead, finally bringing out the backups for the Eagles.
Another three-and-out for Mountain Ridge put the Eagles back on the field, and although Dominic Phebus nearly broke free for yet another touchdown, the Miners were able to push Hedgesville back and recover possession. This possession - and the game - would end like so many of their other drives: on a fourth-and-long, Russell Beeman, waiting to punt, took another bad snap. This one went into the end zone, where he was tackled for the second and final safety of the night, leaving the score at 43-0 Hedgesville.
Hedgesville returns home next week to play James Wood, Va.

With small and pre-term babies, one of their many challenges is breathing. Most have stiff and undeveloped lungs. The Children's Hospital of Southwest Florida recently unveiled a new, high tech device to help them.
"This is a new development in our capability to ventilate babies. It improves the synchronicity of the machine with the babies, so it's much easier for babies to breathe," says Dr. Kultar Singh, neonatologist with Lee Memorial Health System.
NAVA, which stands for Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist, attaches to a conventional ventilator. Instead of forcing air through the tube and into the lungs, this device senses when the baby's diaphragm is contracting.
"It's always machine which is syncing to the baby. It will let baby breathe on his or her pace and it will just assist as needed. They are doing most of the work and the machine is supporting them," says Dr. Singh.
Conventional methods can create a struggle between the patient and the ventilator. Babies who fight the machine may need deeper sedation but syncing to their natural breathing pattern minimizes discomfort and lowers the risk of infection.
"Our sense is they are much more comfortable in it. And we think their number of days on a ventilator are shorter," says Dr. Singh.
A breakthrough technology, NAVA is helping the tiniest patients breathe easy.

Brian Kelly is Right: UM-ND Is Overrated
September 4th, 2013| by Lost Lettermen
By Chris Mahr
College football traditionalists want no business hearing this, but Brian Kelly is right.
Notre Dame's head football coach told the Chicago Tribune on Sunday that he doesn't view the Fighting Irish's games with Michigan as "one of those historic, traditional Notre Dame rivalries" but rather as "one of those great football games that Notre Dame has played" (he later backtracked).
The Irish's decision to suspend the series after 2014 has been blasted by, among others, Wolverines head coach Brady Hoke. ESPN talking heads Mark May and Skip Bayless deemed Kelly certifiably insane for downplaying the game – albeit while getting their facts wrong.
But are we giving this "all-time great rivalry" more credit than it deserves?
Kelly didn't completely undersell the games staged between college football's two all-time winningest programs. Not even he can deny the great moments that transpired between the two schools.
There were Reggie Ho's five field goals for the Irish in 1988. The next year, there were Rocket Ismail's back-to-back kickoff returns for touchdowns. There was Desmond Howard's 1991 4th down catch. In 1994, Remy Hamilton made himself a Wolverines hero for life with his game-winning, 42-yarder with two seconds left. In the series' four most recent installments, we've been treated to heroics from Tate Forcier (2009), Denard Robinson (2010 and 2011) and Manti Te'o (2012).
But a great rivalry needs more than great moments. It needs to count for something more. And I don't completely blame Kelly for not seeing that extra something.
Especially when you consider the following three factors:
No. 1: Lack of History
On Tuesday, both May and Bayless blasted Kelly for his disregard of the rivalry, with both mentioning how they "grew up watching the game." This despite the fact that neither May nor Bayless did. When Notre Dame and Michigan met in 1978 — at which point May was 19 and Bayless was 26 — it had been 35 years since they had played one another.
It might feel like the Irish and Wolverines have played each other forever, but they haven't. While the first installment of the rivalry was all the way back in 1887, the two teams have only played each other 40 times since then — all the while many rivalries around the country have enjoyed their 100-year anniversaries.
In fact, this upcoming hiatus marks the fifth time that Notre Dame and Michigan have opted to take a break from one another. Does that sound like something that rivals would do to one another even once, let alone five times?
No. 2: Timing
The best college football rivalries always have a make-or-break quality to them. That's because they're more often than not scheduled on the last week of the regular season.
Michigan has such a rivalry … but with Ohio State. Their annual-for-now "grudge match" with Notre Dame has customarily been staged in September, before the season starts to truly warm up. While neither side likes to relinquish bragging rights to the other with a loss, their seasons are far from ruined if they suffer defeat.
When there's nothing to play for other than bragging rights, how can this be considered a great rivalry?
No. 3: Lack of Hatred
Have you ever heard a Notre Dame fan express all-out hatred toward Michigan or vice versa? They are far from bitter rivals.
Perhaps more than any other sport, college football is fueled by the enmity rival teams and their fan bases have for one another. We live for those types of matchups when the players are yapping at one another, when the coaches are trash-talking via the media in advance of gameday and when fans get into scuffles in the stands.
The Irish and Wolverines don't fight with one another in that regard, they fight over which program boasts more tradition because they are so similar. And it's the same arguments every year. Rockne or Yost? Ismail or Howard? "Victory March" or "Hail to the Victors"? Golden domes or winged helmets? Notre Dame Stadium or "The Big House"?
Every year, the focus is more on the past than it is on the present. That's not what a true rivalry should be.
It's obviously sad to see an end to any rivalry game. It doesn't feel right that Oklahoma no longer plays Nebraska, Texas no longer plays Texas A&M and Pitt no longer plays West Virginia. But unlike Notre Dame-Michigan, those rivalry matchups (and others) were bound by despising one another and high-stakes games in addition to being rich in history.
Brian Kelly's rationale may be unpopular, but it was spot-on. Should we be mourning the loss of the Notre Dame-Michigan rivalry when, in many ways, it's not a rivalry to begin with?
