Fun Stuff for Friday the 13th

Does anybody think Friday the 13th is an unlucky day? I don't recall it ever being either lucky or unlucky - just another day. But then, I've never been a lucky person as a rule.

Football is finally starting again! It seems interminable waiting for the season - I don't care what level, high school, college, NFL.

Just give me football.

Go Colts! Is their defense going to be good enough to get them to the Super Bowl?

Is Notre Dame going to be great again, or will they never again rise above mediocrity?

Will Indiana be at least respectable this year?

Go Columbus North! Go Tim! Have a great senior year. Can the Bulldogs go to state with a great running offense, solid defense, but below-average passing game?

Wouldn't football be more entertaining if none of the players took steroids?

What makes a great football team? Linemen. Big, strong, fast guys on the front o-lines open holes for the backs, give the QB time to find his receiver, make the offense work. Same on defense, with big, strong guys that can't be blocked, keep LB's free to roam, and put the pressure on the passer that makes him throw INT's.

2004 Predictions:
Columbus North: 10-2, make it to Semi-State.
Indiana Hoosiers: 3-8, but staying in more games.
Notre Dame Irish: 7-4, maybe a minor bowl. Won't meet expectations
Indianapolis Colts: 11-5, another loss in Eastern Conference Finals
