Hey Rod. How about now? How long did it take after the Wasington mess before you saw the light? Or, have you?

Hi Rod, I just noticed your memo on my profile. Sorry for the delay in responding. This was definitely a fun one to watch. We almost had it. Notre Dame may not be elite yet, but they are getting close.

Here is my latest work and I am sure you will have some thoughts on it.

Hi Rod!

Thanks for the kind words my friend, coming from you it means a lot! Don't worry, I'll keep writing, the nutcases and wannabes don't have any influence on me whatsoever. The biggest regret I have is that I let myself get drawn into a game of insults with that bozo. I am better than that and I am disappointed that I let myself trade insults with them. That is why I didn't respond to his last post or Carson's childish insult of my dead Mother.

In any event, thanks again for your encouragement. When I say that I respect you and appreciate your readership, I truly mean it. You always have my back and for that I am eternally grateful my friend!

Hi Rod, no kidding eh? You would think these SEC fans thought I had insulted their Mothers or something rather than just pointing out what I felt was pretty obvious!

Hey Rod,

As a USC guy, I figured you might find this interesting and I'd love your take.

Here's my latest, and surprisingly, it's not about Ohio State!

Rod: I actually want who gets USC the best team at QB - period. I don't care if it's Garrett Green or if Rocky came back.

Rod:

I don't recall the QB issue, but I do have a problem there. I really believe Barkley is a better QB, but is he the best to play against Ohio State? That is a crucial game. If the Trojans lose it, the best they can do is go to the Rose Bowl. They will also drop out of the Top 10.

There will be no game to bring them back into the Top 10. They can only hope other teams lose their way out of the Top 10 and that will be mid season or later when than might happen.

I want the best guy to beat Ohio State, period.
