Those Trojan Horses
USC's victory over Notre Dame takes its toll. Also: Canadian syrup. Plame throwers. The Million More bore. And much more.

p>Wlady’s political astuteness might not necessarily qualify him
as a predictor of the outcome of future USC-Notre Dame contests.
Such as the ND win he expects when the teams meet again in sunny
Southern California next year. When one considers the 12-year run
the Fighting Irish had against the Trojans from 1983 through 1995,
SC’s current streak may well be deservedly only in its incipient
stage. The Irish will undoubtedly pull out all stops next time too
though, including everything from another distracted clock keeper
to — and if this won’t work nothing will — emerald sequined
jerseys! Fight On!

I just wanted to congratulate you, Mr. Pleszczynski, on your restraint in writing four paragraphs about the resurrected Notre Dame football program without once mentioning the former defensive standout Walt Patulski, Irish co-captain in 1971, and the very first Lombardi Trophy recipient. I’ll bet his birth certificate has his first name as Wlady.
