Speaking of, I know my contract is a sore spot for a lot of folks. Took me only seven games to get it extended through 2015. But hey, if your boss wants to throw a ton of dough at you, how many people are going to turn it down? That’s right, none!
I know, I know, the last two seasons haven’t been ones for the history books.
In ’07, we became the first ND team to lose nine games and we’re the first squad to drop 15 games over a two year stretch.
And I can certainly understand how some of you are upset that last year we lost on Senior Day to Syracuse. Well let me tell you, those guys were good. Easy to see how the Orange managed 10 total wins in four years.
My biggest problem is I’m recruiting against schools like USC, Texas, Florida and LSU. Kids want to go to those schools, not South Bend.
The last time ND won the national championship in 1988, today’s high school seniors weren’t even born. Notre Dame doesn’t mean anything to the blue chippers I need to win big.
But look, we should be a lot better this year. After all, Syracuse isn’t on the schedule.
Leave a message. Or get a life.
...beeeeeeeeepp!

‘Hey, this is A-Rod’…nah, that’s no good.
‘Hello, this is Alex’…I don’t like that one.
‘A-Rod here’…nah, too abrasive.
‘This is A-Rod in the Boogeydown’…nope.
‘A-Rod in the BX here’…no, too nerdy. Man, I can’t believe how hard it is to make a voice mail message that everyone will like.
‘A-Rod’s voice mail’…no, that screams tool.
‘This is Mr. May’…wait, I hit in October, too.
Hhhmmm…I wonder what Jeter’s voice mail sounds like? Maybe I should call him. Oh that’s right, he refused to give me his cell number.
I don’t know why he’s hacked. He isn’t even the best shortstop on the team. What an ego! Who does Jeter think he is, me?
Maybe I should ask Selena what she thinks? Might be a good way to make peace with her and get her to like me.
‘An A-Bomb for A-Rod’…nah, that’s taken.
‘Bostons^cks!’…oh wait, I forgot about 2004. I’ll just go with the old standby.
‘Hi, you’ve reached the voice mail of Alex Rodri...’ ...beeeeeeeeepp!
