Too bad they didn't set up shop in California.  - Redrum

Huh?  You want the University of South Bend in California with all their arrogance, bluster, sense of entitlement and over-the-top fans? 

That slot is already filled by the University of Spoiled Children.

...for a volleyball tournament with significant representation from teams of the Midwest.  Many of them stayed at our hotel (Hilton in downtown versus the Marquette Hilton where I had quite literally the worst hotel stay of my lifetime).  I probably saw two dozen Notre Dame football shirts of various types and I engaged in conversation with 1/2 dozen of them.

Want to guess how many attended Notre Dame?  I'll give you a hint...if you say "1" you're high...  Good for them, though, they have a team to root for.  And every one of them, universally, is laaaaaaaaaaaaaughing at USC's trials and travails.  It's interesting to me how much the two of them have in common.
