Voting trends evident in student electionsBy KATE NAGENGASTAssistant News Editor
Despite consistent complaints of s tu shydent apathy Notre Dame students have their own set of voting trends and a hisshytory of impressive voter tu rnou t come election day
The entire student body maintains an average voter tu rnou t ra te of 52 p e r shycent However if off-campus s tuden ts are eliminated from the statistics th e ra te ju m p s to 62 p e r c e n t s a id J a y S m ith c h i e f o f s t a f f fo r th e ODonoghueNorton administration
ldquoIf you look at that nationally itrsquos a lot h ig h e r th a n th e national averagerdquo he said
S ince o f f - c a m p u s voters are required to vo te in D e B a r to lo while the res t of the student body files balshylo ts w i th in t h e i r dorms proximity and c o n v e n ie n c e co u ld c o n t r i b u t e to th e lower off-campus stushydent turnout
Yet there are additional factors that affect the turnout rate including conveshynient locations of the ballot boxes withshyin the dorms publicity and aw areness of the e lec tion mdash an d a c c o rd in g to Smith gender
ldquoLooking at the percentages over the course of the last four elections it seems to me that female dorms vote in much higher percentages than male dormsrdquo
ldquoI f you look at that nationally [Notre D am ersquos
percentage is] a lot higher than the national average
Jay Smith chief of staff
he said ldquoThis is ju s t a hypothesis but th e r e a s o n could be t h a t n a t iona l ly w om en a re beg inn ing to vote with a g r e a t f requency an d p re p o n d e ra n c e than men do in US elections I think it is an overall trend
H o w e v e r N o tre D a m e h a s a few trends of its own
ldquoIrsquod say there are two things that disshytinguish Notre Dame from other schools [ re g ard in g s tu d e n t go v ern m en t e lec shytions)rdquo said Smith ldquoThe first being the affinity to w a rd s a do rm the second be ing the p e rc e n ta g e of people who participaterdquo
Smithrsquos mention of dorm affinity is not insignificant In fact dorm preference is
j u s t o n e o f a few trends noticeable in the judicial councilrsquos election sum m aries from 1997 through 2000 T h e council m a in ta in s re c o rd s of voter turnout per dorm and the num shyb e r o f v o te s e a c h ca n d id a te receives from each dorm in b o th p r im a r y an d run-off elections
Using records from 1997 and 2000 primary elections every candidate won the ir p re s id e n trsquos dorm and an overshyw h e lm in g m a jo r i ty c a r r i e d the vice p res iden trsquos dorm as well if it differed from the presidentrsquos
The only notable exception was Zahm Hall whose residents occasionally had trouble choosing from a num ber of less popular tickets the dorm contributed
Trend S amp TVoters52
48Non-voters
On-campus students have a voter turnout of 62
Only one candida te from both 1997 and none from 2000 was an off-campus resident However he failed to win the off-campus vote
Female dorm s mdash with the ir h igher voter turnout mdash were especially influshyen t ia l in d e te rm in in g the c a n d id a te s that entered the run-off election in both 1997 and 2000 The dorms however did not vote along gender lines in either e l e c t io n a n d th e j u d i c i a l c o u n c i l rsquos results were inconclusive with regards to consistent male or female support of male or female candidates
A b sen tee vo te rs mdash those s tudy ing abroad during the spring sem ester mdash voted for the w inning tickets in both

In s id e C o lu m n
More than cornIrsquoll be the first to adm it tha t my sta te is not that
coolIndiana has not ga rnered itself a grea t rep u ta shy
tion of late The m an from Evansville who fired a gun in front of the White House has done little for our reputation I agree with most people tha t his was an asinine move
But th a t rsquos usually w here our agreem ent ends I shake my head vehemently a t each reference to Indiana as the cause of his problems and idiocy a t essentially tryshying to kill himself next to the most guarded house in the United States
I cringe at the cries of ldquoonly in Indiana rdquo
No NOT only in IndianaThis country is full of
strange messed up people and they do not all come from Indiana Irsquom not lobbyshying tha t Indiana is the hippest most exciting place to visit Indiana tourism experts have enough trouble doing that
But as aesthetically and eventfully boring as it can sometimes be Indiana is not w here cows and nasty old farm ers come to die
T herersquos a long-standing theory tha t Indiana is made up of mdash well corn and ldquowhite t rash rdquo
Irsquom from Northwest Indiana Irsquove never really liked corn And as I write this Irsquom confident tha t the Guns lsquoN Roses Irsquom listening to doesnrsquot make me white trash but someone with an eclectic music collection
Itrsquos amazing w ha t you learn about your hom eshytown w hen you leave it I never knew tha t all people from NWI lack ldquostree t sm a r t srdquo and are gullible And you can imagine how lucky I felt to have escaped the pregnancy plague tha t some believe has hit my hometown
But really w hen is my polite smiling supposed to end When Irsquom m ade to feel asham ed of the home where my paren ts raised me Am I not supposed to be insulted w hen people ask me if Irsquove been cow tipping
There are pregnan t teenagers and toothless bartenders in the most stereotypically classy states in the country Indiana isnrsquot some refuge state w here they all migrate
Every town or city in America has ldquotowniesrdquo South Bend and Indiana a re no exceptions Every state has dirty m en with no teeth and bad breath
Scan your local ba rs the next time yoursquore home
Look for the overweight 45-year-old m en singing karaoke Look for the middle-aged women in tight leather skirts who should NOT be wearing tight lea ther skirts
Theyrsquore not ju s t in Indiana Theyrsquore in your towns and states too
And Notre Dame is not some haven w here all normal non-white trash Hoosiers congregate ldquoNotre Dame doesnrsquot belong in Indiana rdquo I hea r from friends and classmates
How arrogantThe fact is everyone a t Notre Dame chose to
attend a school in Indiana And while South Bend is not the safest or most fun city it is w here we spend our four years Itrsquos w here we m ake our stories and build our friendships It is guaranteed where you will continue to visit each year you attend a football gam e or visit your old dorm
And one day you may find yourself strangely missing the city and state with all the townies Or at least yoursquoll miss making so much fun of them

Fate is all fine and dandy No one is discounting fate Anyone whorsquos ever read ldquoOedipus Rex knows not to mess with fate your eyes get gouged out you are tormented Itrsquos not a good idea to mess with fate my friendBut fate is a tricky business you can rsquot take it lightly but on the o ther hand yoursquove got to leave room somewhere for free will
You can never be certain who your soul mate is in advance you know You can rsquot just sit back and expect soul mates to do everyshything for you You have got to be actively involved in the formation of your own life however it is fated to go Yoursquove got to say things like ldquoYou stay alive I will find yourdquo or do things tha t make your soul m ate say ldquoYou had me at hello rdquo or when asked yoursquove got to say your soul m ate is ldquoworth dying forrdquo
Now itrsquos the Valentinersquos Day time of year everybodyrsquos getting all mushy again from last Valentinersquos Day time which is completely wonderful It really is But strange a t the sam e time because how can you be mushy a t the exact sam e time every year
Anyhow about fate itrsquos a dangerous thing and some people are sadly conshyfused about w hat fate actually means Fate means tha t if you do the thing you a re fated to do you have a hundred p e r shycent probability tha t tha t thing will play out the way it is fated Fate does not m ean that if you sit in your room all day playing video games your life is still fated to be highly exciting When yoursquore passive then yoursquore not active and when you are not active you can rsquot be said to be doing something can you
If you are fated to be president but you never run for the election you have just used your free will to negate your desshytiny If you never give blood or help your fellow citizens in some way you can rsquot really say you a re pro-hum an beings
Now some people really are not pro- people and they show it by the am ount of time and money they give to more furry more leggy creatures This is not to say tha t it is right or wrong to be pro-human but if one is destined to be for people and not against them he or she ought to do something for them Something like givshying blood
At this time of month for goodness sakes itrsquos perfect Blood ie hea r t ie Valentinersquos Day On top of such a close connection February has been designatshy
ed American h ea r t m onth so along with giving your loved one a dozen red roses (a dozen roses always makes a nice V- day gift) why not donate a p int of the real red stuff
Now being tha t itrsquos the Valentinersquos Day time of year the personal aspec t of fate must take cen te r stage One m ore time I will go over this fate business If it is Valentinersquos Day and you think you are fated to have a wonderful evening with the person of your dreams but you never call tha t person if you never do anything for tha t person all I have to say is good luck because you will need it On the other hand if it is Valentinersquos Day and you think you are forever destined to be alone on this day o rsquo love bu t you go to a party anyway or finally send a card to tha t special ldquofriendrdquo your chances of being alone forever a re not so good
Some say there is no escaping destiny bu t I think th a t sometimes it is easy to escape your destiny especially if you donrsquot do anything about it

Defending Notre Dame athletesThe in troduction to Peyton Bergrsquos interview of Chris Zorich
in the Feb 9 Observer contains an unfortuna te and very sloppy assessm en t of ldquoath le tes rdquo While trying to credit Zorich for his ldquoChristopher Zorich Foundationrdquo Berg paints all a th shyletes with a wide brush saying th a t we a re ldquoin an age w here ath le tes routinely find themselves in trouble with the lawrdquo
Certainly he doesn rsquot intend all ath letes from pee wees to the pros does he So who does he m ean Professional a th shyletes College and professional Would th a t include o u r No1 ranked w o m en rsquos basketball team th a t lawless bunch Perhaps he only m eans ldquohigh profilerdquo ath le tes whose lives a re scrutin ized by the m edia because we the public pay an unhea lthy am oun t of a t tention to them as people
And w h a t does he m ean by routine He seem s to be saying th a t these ath le tes (whoever they are) a re individually fre shy
quently in trouble with the law Does h e have any idea how m any ath le tes th e re a re in the w orld Even limiting h imself to the NFL NBA NHL and Major League Baseball Mr Berg c a n rsquot be saying th a t all of those guys a re a bunch of recidivist criminals can he
Or does he m e an to say ldquoIn an age w h ere the headlines routinely fea tu re celebrity a th le tes in t roub le with the law Zorich instead rdquo Such a s ta te m e n t would m ake a lot m ore sense to m e and would be fa irer to Mr Zorichrsquos team m ates and the m any o ther a th le tes in the world very few of whom m ake the headlines and very few of w hom a re criminals

Wednesday is Valentinersquos Day Irsquom already d read ing it
The other 11 12 m onths of the year a dozen roses go for less than $20 Now Irsquoll be lucky to find them for less than $30 and double or even triple that if I w an t them delivered Then I have to buy a card The real nice ones gold- plated with fancy letshytering and a really romantic poem inside which can run up to six dollars For one card T h a t s a lot m ore than the cards I usually get which fea ture some crude cartoon and usually an even c ruder joke involving som e disgusting bodishyly function But a t least those a re funny good Valentinersquos Day ca rds a r e n rsquot even funny at all
And after Irsquove pu rchased those I need to get a hear t-shaped box of can dies a stuffed teddy bear a botshytle of massage oil som e a r o shymatic candles som e jewelry and a bottle of wine and then before 1 know it Irsquove got more gifts than I can hold and a m axed-out credit card
But th a trsquos not the problem The p robshylem is I have no one to buy them for
I wouldnrsquot ordishynarily care mdash I donrsquot mind being single I don t have time around classes and everything else I do to have a se r ishyous relationship and I donrsquot have the money to buy nice things or go to d inner at any shywhere more expensive than the dining hall(ldquoYou w an t cheese on your WhopperI donrsquot have tha t kind of moneyrsquorsquo)
But being alone on Valentinersquos Day is ju s t unfair Every o ther commercial on televishysion has som ething to do with the holiday Give these (lowers to show how much you love someoneBuy this Hallmark card to show how much you love som eshyone Gel this expensive necklace to show how m uch you love someone If you don rsquot love som eone buy stuff and maybe som eone might love you
1 don t mind the b a r ra g e of com m erc ia lshyism I love splurging and being romantic Ask my last girlfriend I bought her so many things I had to sell one of my kidshyneys She had s ta r ted a small teddy bea r collection I singlehandedly tu rned it into the Teddy Bear Smithsonian She could have m ade a d ress out of the petals from all of the roses I gave her (Donrsquot think tha t idea never crossed my mind) I had to siphon gas to m ake it back to South Bend
But w hen yoursquore not seeing anyone Valentinersquos gifts a re a tad inappropr ia te ldquoHi I sit behind you in theology and uh h e re rsquos some roses and som e candies and mdash oh here look Hallm ark teddy bea rs tha t kiss magnetically SMOOCH You w a n n a go
out with me ton igh trdquo Meanwhile h e r psyshycho r a d a r is sc ream ing red alert
When yoursquore single and donrsquot w an t to be on Valentinersquos Day it seem s like everyone you know has somebody My best friend is m arr ied My ex is practically engaged My twice-divorced fa ther is living with som eshyone My sis ter has an In terne t relationship Even my dog has a ldquospecial friendrdquo I sw ear Cupid is laughing a t me behind my back You think Irsquom joking I got an e-mail from a female who said she w anted to get to know me After I rifled off an in terested response she sen t me an invitation to see h e r hom epage at lookatm eiam nakedcom ldquoHa ha Mike Irsquom shooting everyone else with my a r ro w s of love You get a knife in the back and a kick in the rdquo Okay so maybe th a t rsquos a bit too over-the-top
Everyone tells me th a t 1 shou ldn rsquot worry abou t long-term relationships right now Of course theyrsquore right but 1 c a n rsquot help w onshy

amprBroader issues need student recognitionThe Campus Life Council F o u n d errsquos Day football ticket distribution
NDSMC studen t re la tions and soc ial24-hour space T hese a re the conshycerns th a t The Observer decided w ere m ost p ress ing to the s tuden t body here a t Notre Dame and upon which they based the ir views with regards the upcom ing election Excuse me bu t w hen exactly did I get to be so vapid
My apologies if I am completely w rong in this (and I sincerely hope tha t 1 am not) but I refuse to believe th a t the Notre Dame s tuden t body is so self-centered Yes I do realize th a t th e re a rc p roblem s su rround ing all these issues I have spen t as m uch time as anyone else complaining about parie tals or abou t football tickets But I think these a re far from being the most im portan t issues here In addition the problem with trying to address things like parie ta ls is th a t they will probably continue to exist year af te r y ear and all these ldquosolutionsrdquo w o n rsquot really do much of anything In light of this m aybe the average Notre Dame s tu d en t would like to thinkabou t la rge r issues
Here Irsquom afraid th a t my personal feelings abou t this election are going to in trude but so be it The biggest p roblem I see a round here is tha t Notre Dame seem s to have lost its sense of community One of the things th a t really a t t rac ted me to this school w as th a t it w as supposed to be like a family a Notre Dame Family (as they say every w eek a t Mass) But w hat kind of family excludes so m any of its family m em bers
W hat I am getting a t he re is th a t too m uch of the time we complain abou t our own m inor problem s and think of w h a t would m ake us happy while ignoring those of som eone who m ight have m ore serious problems 1 believe th a t m any of the cand ida tes fall prey to this mentality For e x a m shyple the re a re many of us who a r e n rsquot Catholic yet it is suggested tha t m ore s tuden t body m asses would som ehow help s t reng then our com m unishyty Or w ha t abou t the problem s with race and gende r rela tions th a t divide us (and yes they do exist mdash why else would we have offices for dealing with these problems) Why a rc these issues not considered in your evalushyation of the candida tes
This having been said w ha t abou t the fact th a t we are pa r t ol a larger community a com munity th a t we largely ignore Did you ever w onder why most of South Bend has signs up for Ind iana Basketball but not tor Notre Dame We h ere on cam pus tend to be a bit full of ourselves (with good reason mdash it is Notre Dame af te r all) and as a result we m is trea t the community th a t has to deal with us This bond with the people of South Bend is som ething th a t I feel needs to be re-estab lished and this can only be accomplished th rough in teracting with the people of South Bend andgiving back to them bdquo
For me the only ticket th a t ca res abou t such issues is D em etra Smith and Yogeld Andre The O bserverrsquos coverage of the election dismisses their platform because it doesnrsquot ca te r to ldquoissues of b ro ad e r appeal to s tu shyden ts rdquo But so w ha t if they d o n rsquot talk abou t things like F o u n d errsquos DayHow many of us really w en t to tha t anyw ay P erhaps they feel as I do th a t the re a re la rge r issues a t s take than w h e th e r my life he re is as easy and ca refree as possible They w an t to push me to be a more cai ing p e r shyson and a be t te r p a r t of this community They w an t to m ake su re tha t our Notre Dame experience is som eth ing th a t we can be proud of
We a re blessed to be he re a t Notre Dame bu t I think th a t making the m ost o u r years he re depends on m ore th a n w h e th e r parie ta ls a re abolshyished or not P erhaps I am being too naive in my idea of w ha t s tuden ts he re will ca re about I guess this election will prove m e right or wrongBut if you think itrsquos abou t time for s tu d e n t governm en t to lead us som eshyw here for a change vote for Smith and Andre on Monday

Ted Fox
Fox S p o r ts Almost
The XFL m anI don rsquot know w ho 1 w as ta lk shy
ing to w hen I m u tte red th a t in the direction of my com puter 10 seconds ago b u t it does sum up the feelshyings of a sports fan trying to figure out w ha t to m ake of this new football league
There have been two weeks of XFL action now com shyplete with everyshybodyrsquos favorite WWF play-by- play voice Jim Ross yelling abou t som e ldquohellaciousrdquo hits and Irsquom wondering
Are you setting your VCR to tape the Chicago Enforcers gam e yet Are you m aking plans to road tr ip down to Orlando and catch the 2-0 Rage in action
Maybe you are m aybe you a r e n rsquot but I have formed a coushyple of my own opinions so far
First w h a t rsquos good abou t the new league it gives players coaches t ra in e rs and anyone else associa ted with football team s who hav e n rsquot m a d e it in the NFL a chance to keep playshying For them the XFL is a way to stay in professional football and maybe even improve their chances of one day m aking it to or for some back to the NFL
And right ab o u t here my list of w ha t I like s ta r ts to ru n p re t shyty thin
Irsquom not going to lie and say tha t w atching scantily clad cheer leaders doesn rsquot have a certa in am oun t of appeal
However th a t rsquos one of this leaguersquos biggest problems Every time the c a m e ra leaves
the perspective of the lacrosse he lm et-w ear ing field pho tog ra shyp h e r and ven tu res to the som eshyw h a t uninhibited cheer ing secshytion football ceases to be the focus of the broadcast
Sex appeal takes overEven som e of the on-field
ru les leave me asking ldquoW hyrdquoTake the ldquoDash for the Ballrdquo
which has taken the place of the coin toss to de term ine posshysession Matt Duda a w ri te r on XFLcom says it rdquo condenses all the a t tr ibu tes th a t m ake football the g rea tes t of A m er ica rsquos sports into four testosterone-fil led secondsrdquo
Basically both players s ta r t side-by-side 20 yards away from the ball the re feree tells th e m w hen to go and the guy who com es up with the ball wins
Sound a little dangerous Yeah but d o n rsquot w orry th e re rsquos only been one se p a ra te d shoulshyd e r so far Before the gam e even sta rts
Besides isnrsquot th a t a small pr ice to pay to get back to the glory days of sm ash m outh footshyball Back w hen Vince Lom bardi would pick his fastest p layer to go tear ing af ter the _ ball p laced a t L am b eau rsquos 50 N d o n rsquot you r e m e m b e r those days
Neither do IIn all fairness to the new
league I realize I could be com shypletely off the XFL black and red ball I took a leisurely Sunday walk a round my dorm and asked som eone a lot m ore in touch with football th a n me Notre Dame jun io r long s n a p shyp e r J o h n Crowther w ha t he though t of Saturday n igh trsquos new est ra tings contender
ldquoI like to watch football so I kind of like itrdquo Crow ther said ldquoBut they try to be too flashy alm ost too m uch like wrestling I guess th a t rsquos probably their point The only th ing th a t I really like th a t rsquos different than the NFL is w hen they do the

opening coin toss rdquoDamaging testimony from an
exper t witness Irsquom still not a big fan of the dash though maybe because Irsquod be grabbing m ore tu r f with my helm et than ball with my hands
Furthe rm ore Irsquom still not quite su re why the governor of Minnesota is trying to give me analysis Irsquom not su re why real football involves putting nickshyn am es like ldquoE-Ruptrdquo on the back of your je rsey or having the announcers try to convince us ju s t how legitimate the league is
W hat we have m aybe for the first time in sports history is a league th a t w as crea ted for TV This isnrsquot a struggling football league or even a prosperous one looking to gain exposure by getting TV coverage And w e rsquod
be living som ew here outside of Candy Land if we d idnrsquot notice the increasing com m ercia lizashytion of all sports including the NFL (Crsquomon mdash the ldquoMTV Presen ts the E-Trade Super Bowl Halftime Showrdquo)
But the XFL itself not ju s t its advertising cam paign is a m a r shyketing ploy an at titude com shyplete with sex appeal violence fireworks ro tat ing ca m e ra angles and smoke
Football is m erely the m eans to deliver th a t WWF image If bowling could have worked w e rsquod probably be w atch ing the XBL right now as guys rolled some hellacious strikes in the t rue tradition of sm a sh m outh sports
Maybe the re is some hope Mike Celizic a contribu tor to MSNBCcom noted how the
footballXFL seem ed to violate some of its cha rge in week two devotshying m ore of its time to the gam e and less to the cheer leaders Maybe these gam es could a c tu shyally be abou t football eventually and not NBC ratings on Satu rday nights
Like Crow ther told me ldquoIf som eone said you could go and play [in the XFL] Irsquod probably go play because itrsquos basically like football When you get in the gam e it pretty m uch looks the s a m e rdquo
But if it becom es abou t footshyball will people still watch W hen yoursquore c rea ted for TV you b e t te r hope so

In s id e C o lu m n
More than cornIrsquoll be the first to adm it tha t my sta te is not that
coolIndiana has not ga rnered itself a grea t rep u ta shy
tion of late The m an from Evansville who fired a gun in front of the White House has done little for our reputation I agree with most people tha t his was an asinine move
But th a t rsquos usually w here our agreem ent ends I shake my head vehemently a t each reference to Indiana as the cause of his problems and idiocy a t essentially tryshying to kill himself next to the most guarded house in the United States
I cringe at the cries of ldquoonly in Indiana rdquo
No NOT only in IndianaThis country is full of
strange messed up people and they do not all come from Indiana Irsquom not lobbyshying tha t Indiana is the hippest most exciting place to visit Indiana tourism experts have enough trouble doing that
But as aesthetically and eventfully boring as it can sometimes be Indiana is not w here cows and nasty old farm ers come to die
T herersquos a long-standing theory tha t Indiana is made up of mdash well corn and ldquowhite t rash rdquo
Irsquom from Northwest Indiana Irsquove never really liked corn And as I write this Irsquom confident tha t the Guns lsquoN Roses Irsquom listening to doesnrsquot make me white trash but someone with an eclectic music collection
Itrsquos amazing w ha t you learn about your hom eshytown w hen you leave it I never knew tha t all people from NWI lack ldquostree t sm a r t srdquo and are gullible And you can imagine how lucky I felt to have escaped the pregnancy plague tha t some believe has hit my hometown
But really w hen is my polite smiling supposed to end When Irsquom m ade to feel asham ed of the home where my paren ts raised me Am I not supposed to be insulted w hen people ask me if Irsquove been cow tipping
There are pregnan t teenagers and toothless bartenders in the most stereotypically classy states in the country Indiana isnrsquot some refuge state w here they all migrate
Every town or city in America has ldquotowniesrdquo South Bend and Indiana a re no exceptions Every state has dirty m en with no teeth and bad breath
Scan your local ba rs the next time yoursquore home
Look for the overweight 45-year-old m en singing karaoke Look for the middle-aged women in tight leather skirts who should NOT be wearing tight lea ther skirts
Theyrsquore not ju s t in Indiana Theyrsquore in your towns and states too
And Notre Dame is not some haven w here all normal non-white trash Hoosiers congregate ldquoNotre Dame doesnrsquot belong in Indiana rdquo I hea r from friends and classmates
How arrogantThe fact is everyone a t Notre Dame chose to
attend a school in Indiana And while South Bend is not the safest or most fun city it is w here we spend our four years Itrsquos w here we m ake our stories and build our friendships It is guaranteed where you will continue to visit each year you attend a football gam e or visit your old dorm
And one day you may find yourself strangely missing the city and state with all the townies Or at least yoursquoll miss making so much fun of them

Fate is all fine and dandy No one is discounting fate Anyone whorsquos ever read ldquoOedipus Rex knows not to mess with fate your eyes get gouged out you are tormented Itrsquos not a good idea to mess with fate my friendBut fate is a tricky business you can rsquot take it lightly but on the o ther hand yoursquove got to leave room somewhere for free will
You can never be certain who your soul mate is in advance you know You can rsquot just sit back and expect soul mates to do everyshything for you You have got to be actively involved in the formation of your own life however it is fated to go Yoursquove got to say things like ldquoYou stay alive I will find yourdquo or do things tha t make your soul m ate say ldquoYou had me at hello rdquo or when asked yoursquove got to say your soul m ate is ldquoworth dying forrdquo
Now itrsquos the Valentinersquos Day time of year everybodyrsquos getting all mushy again from last Valentinersquos Day time which is completely wonderful It really is But strange a t the sam e time because how can you be mushy a t the exact sam e time every year
Anyhow about fate itrsquos a dangerous thing and some people are sadly conshyfused about w hat fate actually means Fate means tha t if you do the thing you a re fated to do you have a hundred p e r shycent probability tha t tha t thing will play out the way it is fated Fate does not m ean that if you sit in your room all day playing video games your life is still fated to be highly exciting When yoursquore passive then yoursquore not active and when you are not active you can rsquot be said to be doing something can you
If you are fated to be president but you never run for the election you have just used your free will to negate your desshytiny If you never give blood or help your fellow citizens in some way you can rsquot really say you a re pro-hum an beings
Now some people really are not pro- people and they show it by the am ount of time and money they give to more furry more leggy creatures This is not to say tha t it is right or wrong to be pro-human but if one is destined to be for people and not against them he or she ought to do something for them Something like givshying blood
At this time of month for goodness sakes itrsquos perfect Blood ie hea r t ie Valentinersquos Day On top of such a close connection February has been designatshy
ed American h ea r t m onth so along with giving your loved one a dozen red roses (a dozen roses always makes a nice V- day gift) why not donate a p int of the real red stuff
Now being tha t itrsquos the Valentinersquos Day time of year the personal aspec t of fate must take cen te r stage One m ore time I will go over this fate business If it is Valentinersquos Day and you think you are fated to have a wonderful evening with the person of your dreams but you never call tha t person if you never do anything for tha t person all I have to say is good luck because you will need it On the other hand if it is Valentinersquos Day and you think you are forever destined to be alone on this day o rsquo love bu t you go to a party anyway or finally send a card to tha t special ldquofriendrdquo your chances of being alone forever a re not so good
Some say there is no escaping destiny bu t I think th a t sometimes it is easy to escape your destiny especially if you donrsquot do anything about it

Defending Notre Dame athletesThe in troduction to Peyton Bergrsquos interview of Chris Zorich
in the Feb 9 Observer contains an unfortuna te and very sloppy assessm en t of ldquoath le tes rdquo While trying to credit Zorich for his ldquoChristopher Zorich Foundationrdquo Berg paints all a th shyletes with a wide brush saying th a t we a re ldquoin an age w here ath le tes routinely find themselves in trouble with the lawrdquo
Certainly he doesn rsquot intend all ath letes from pee wees to the pros does he So who does he m ean Professional a th shyletes College and professional Would th a t include o u r No1 ranked w o m en rsquos basketball team th a t lawless bunch Perhaps he only m eans ldquohigh profilerdquo ath le tes whose lives a re scrutin ized by the m edia because we the public pay an unhea lthy am oun t of a t tention to them as people
And w h a t does he m ean by routine He seem s to be saying th a t these ath le tes (whoever they are) a re individually fre shy
quently in trouble with the law Does h e have any idea how m any ath le tes th e re a re in the w orld Even limiting h imself to the NFL NBA NHL and Major League Baseball Mr Berg c a n rsquot be saying th a t all of those guys a re a bunch of recidivist criminals can he
Or does he m e an to say ldquoIn an age w h ere the headlines routinely fea tu re celebrity a th le tes in t roub le with the law Zorich instead rdquo Such a s ta te m e n t would m ake a lot m ore sense to m e and would be fa irer to Mr Zorichrsquos team m ates and the m any o ther a th le tes in the world very few of whom m ake the headlines and very few of w hom a re criminals

Wednesday is Valentinersquos Day Irsquom already d read ing it
The other 11 12 m onths of the year a dozen roses go for less than $20 Now Irsquoll be lucky to find them for less than $30 and double or even triple that if I w an t them delivered Then I have to buy a card The real nice ones gold- plated with fancy letshytering and a really romantic poem inside which can run up to six dollars For one card T h a t s a lot m ore than the cards I usually get which fea ture some crude cartoon and usually an even c ruder joke involving som e disgusting bodishyly function But a t least those a re funny good Valentinersquos Day ca rds a r e n rsquot even funny at all
And after Irsquove pu rchased those I need to get a hear t-shaped box of can dies a stuffed teddy bear a botshytle of massage oil som e a r o shymatic candles som e jewelry and a bottle of wine and then before 1 know it Irsquove got more gifts than I can hold and a m axed-out credit card
But th a trsquos not the problem The p robshylem is I have no one to buy them for
I wouldnrsquot ordishynarily care mdash I donrsquot mind being single I don t have time around classes and everything else I do to have a se r ishyous relationship and I donrsquot have the money to buy nice things or go to d inner at any shywhere more expensive than the dining hall(ldquoYou w an t cheese on your WhopperI donrsquot have tha t kind of moneyrsquorsquo)
But being alone on Valentinersquos Day is ju s t unfair Every o ther commercial on televishysion has som ething to do with the holiday Give these (lowers to show how much you love someoneBuy this Hallmark card to show how much you love som eshyone Gel this expensive necklace to show how m uch you love someone If you don rsquot love som eone buy stuff and maybe som eone might love you
1 don t mind the b a r ra g e of com m erc ia lshyism I love splurging and being romantic Ask my last girlfriend I bought her so many things I had to sell one of my kidshyneys She had s ta r ted a small teddy bea r collection I singlehandedly tu rned it into the Teddy Bear Smithsonian She could have m ade a d ress out of the petals from all of the roses I gave her (Donrsquot think tha t idea never crossed my mind) I had to siphon gas to m ake it back to South Bend
But w hen yoursquore not seeing anyone Valentinersquos gifts a re a tad inappropr ia te ldquoHi I sit behind you in theology and uh h e re rsquos some roses and som e candies and mdash oh here look Hallm ark teddy bea rs tha t kiss magnetically SMOOCH You w a n n a go
out with me ton igh trdquo Meanwhile h e r psyshycho r a d a r is sc ream ing red alert
When yoursquore single and donrsquot w an t to be on Valentinersquos Day it seem s like everyone you know has somebody My best friend is m arr ied My ex is practically engaged My twice-divorced fa ther is living with som eshyone My sis ter has an In terne t relationship Even my dog has a ldquospecial friendrdquo I sw ear Cupid is laughing a t me behind my back You think Irsquom joking I got an e-mail from a female who said she w anted to get to know me After I rifled off an in terested response she sen t me an invitation to see h e r hom epage at lookatm eiam nakedcom ldquoHa ha Mike Irsquom shooting everyone else with my a r ro w s of love You get a knife in the back and a kick in the rdquo Okay so maybe th a t rsquos a bit too over-the-top
Everyone tells me th a t 1 shou ldn rsquot worry abou t long-term relationships right now Of course theyrsquore right but 1 c a n rsquot help w onshy

amprBroader issues need student recognitionThe Campus Life Council F o u n d errsquos Day football ticket distribution
NDSMC studen t re la tions and soc ial24-hour space T hese a re the conshycerns th a t The Observer decided w ere m ost p ress ing to the s tuden t body here a t Notre Dame and upon which they based the ir views with regards the upcom ing election Excuse me bu t w hen exactly did I get to be so vapid
My apologies if I am completely w rong in this (and I sincerely hope tha t 1 am not) but I refuse to believe th a t the Notre Dame s tuden t body is so self-centered Yes I do realize th a t th e re a rc p roblem s su rround ing all these issues I have spen t as m uch time as anyone else complaining about parie tals or abou t football tickets But I think these a re far from being the most im portan t issues here In addition the problem with trying to address things like parie ta ls is th a t they will probably continue to exist year af te r y ear and all these ldquosolutionsrdquo w o n rsquot really do much of anything In light of this m aybe the average Notre Dame s tu d en t would like to thinkabou t la rge r issues
Here Irsquom afraid th a t my personal feelings abou t this election are going to in trude but so be it The biggest p roblem I see a round here is tha t Notre Dame seem s to have lost its sense of community One of the things th a t really a t t rac ted me to this school w as th a t it w as supposed to be like a family a Notre Dame Family (as they say every w eek a t Mass) But w hat kind of family excludes so m any of its family m em bers
W hat I am getting a t he re is th a t too m uch of the time we complain abou t our own m inor problem s and think of w h a t would m ake us happy while ignoring those of som eone who m ight have m ore serious problems 1 believe th a t m any of the cand ida tes fall prey to this mentality For e x a m shyple the re a re many of us who a r e n rsquot Catholic yet it is suggested tha t m ore s tuden t body m asses would som ehow help s t reng then our com m unishyty Or w ha t abou t the problem s with race and gende r rela tions th a t divide us (and yes they do exist mdash why else would we have offices for dealing with these problems) Why a rc these issues not considered in your evalushyation of the candida tes
This having been said w ha t abou t the fact th a t we are pa r t ol a larger community a com munity th a t we largely ignore Did you ever w onder why most of South Bend has signs up for Ind iana Basketball but not tor Notre Dame We h ere on cam pus tend to be a bit full of ourselves (with good reason mdash it is Notre Dame af te r all) and as a result we m is trea t the community th a t has to deal with us This bond with the people of South Bend is som ething th a t I feel needs to be re-estab lished and this can only be accomplished th rough in teracting with the people of South Bend andgiving back to them bdquo
For me the only ticket th a t ca res abou t such issues is D em etra Smith and Yogeld Andre The O bserverrsquos coverage of the election dismisses their platform because it doesnrsquot ca te r to ldquoissues of b ro ad e r appeal to s tu shyden ts rdquo But so w ha t if they d o n rsquot talk abou t things like F o u n d errsquos DayHow many of us really w en t to tha t anyw ay P erhaps they feel as I do th a t the re a re la rge r issues a t s take than w h e th e r my life he re is as easy and ca refree as possible They w an t to push me to be a more cai ing p e r shyson and a be t te r p a r t of this community They w an t to m ake su re tha t our Notre Dame experience is som eth ing th a t we can be proud of
We a re blessed to be he re a t Notre Dame bu t I think th a t making the m ost o u r years he re depends on m ore th a n w h e th e r parie ta ls a re abolshyished or not P erhaps I am being too naive in my idea of w ha t s tuden ts he re will ca re about I guess this election will prove m e right or wrongBut if you think itrsquos abou t time for s tu d e n t governm en t to lead us som eshyw here for a change vote for Smith and Andre on Monday

Ted Fox
Fox S p o r ts Almost
The XFL m anI don rsquot know w ho 1 w as ta lk shy
ing to w hen I m u tte red th a t in the direction of my com puter 10 seconds ago b u t it does sum up the feelshyings of a sports fan trying to figure out w ha t to m ake of this new football league
There have been two weeks of XFL action now com shyplete with everyshybodyrsquos favorite WWF play-by- play voice Jim Ross yelling abou t som e ldquohellaciousrdquo hits and Irsquom wondering
Are you setting your VCR to tape the Chicago Enforcers gam e yet Are you m aking plans to road tr ip down to Orlando and catch the 2-0 Rage in action
Maybe you are m aybe you a r e n rsquot but I have formed a coushyple of my own opinions so far
First w h a t rsquos good abou t the new league it gives players coaches t ra in e rs and anyone else associa ted with football team s who hav e n rsquot m a d e it in the NFL a chance to keep playshying For them the XFL is a way to stay in professional football and maybe even improve their chances of one day m aking it to or for some back to the NFL
And right ab o u t here my list of w ha t I like s ta r ts to ru n p re t shyty thin
Irsquom not going to lie and say tha t w atching scantily clad cheer leaders doesn rsquot have a certa in am oun t of appeal
However th a t rsquos one of this leaguersquos biggest problems Every time the c a m e ra leaves
the perspective of the lacrosse he lm et-w ear ing field pho tog ra shyp h e r and ven tu res to the som eshyw h a t uninhibited cheer ing secshytion football ceases to be the focus of the broadcast
Sex appeal takes overEven som e of the on-field
ru les leave me asking ldquoW hyrdquoTake the ldquoDash for the Ballrdquo
which has taken the place of the coin toss to de term ine posshysession Matt Duda a w ri te r on XFLcom says it rdquo condenses all the a t tr ibu tes th a t m ake football the g rea tes t of A m er ica rsquos sports into four testosterone-fil led secondsrdquo
Basically both players s ta r t side-by-side 20 yards away from the ball the re feree tells th e m w hen to go and the guy who com es up with the ball wins
Sound a little dangerous Yeah but d o n rsquot w orry th e re rsquos only been one se p a ra te d shoulshyd e r so far Before the gam e even sta rts
Besides isnrsquot th a t a small pr ice to pay to get back to the glory days of sm ash m outh footshyball Back w hen Vince Lom bardi would pick his fastest p layer to go tear ing af ter the _ ball p laced a t L am b eau rsquos 50 N d o n rsquot you r e m e m b e r those days
Neither do IIn all fairness to the new
league I realize I could be com shypletely off the XFL black and red ball I took a leisurely Sunday walk a round my dorm and asked som eone a lot m ore in touch with football th a n me Notre Dame jun io r long s n a p shyp e r J o h n Crowther w ha t he though t of Saturday n igh trsquos new est ra tings contender
ldquoI like to watch football so I kind of like itrdquo Crow ther said ldquoBut they try to be too flashy alm ost too m uch like wrestling I guess th a t rsquos probably their point The only th ing th a t I really like th a t rsquos different than the NFL is w hen they do the

opening coin toss rdquoDamaging testimony from an
exper t witness Irsquom still not a big fan of the dash though maybe because Irsquod be grabbing m ore tu r f with my helm et than ball with my hands
Furthe rm ore Irsquom still not quite su re why the governor of Minnesota is trying to give me analysis Irsquom not su re why real football involves putting nickshyn am es like ldquoE-Ruptrdquo on the back of your je rsey or having the announcers try to convince us ju s t how legitimate the league is
W hat we have m aybe for the first time in sports history is a league th a t w as crea ted for TV This isnrsquot a struggling football league or even a prosperous one looking to gain exposure by getting TV coverage And w e rsquod
be living som ew here outside of Candy Land if we d idnrsquot notice the increasing com m ercia lizashytion of all sports including the NFL (Crsquomon mdash the ldquoMTV Presen ts the E-Trade Super Bowl Halftime Showrdquo)
But the XFL itself not ju s t its advertising cam paign is a m a r shyketing ploy an at titude com shyplete with sex appeal violence fireworks ro tat ing ca m e ra angles and smoke
Football is m erely the m eans to deliver th a t WWF image If bowling could have worked w e rsquod probably be w atch ing the XBL right now as guys rolled some hellacious strikes in the t rue tradition of sm a sh m outh sports
Maybe the re is some hope Mike Celizic a contribu tor to MSNBCcom noted how the
footballXFL seem ed to violate some of its cha rge in week two devotshying m ore of its time to the gam e and less to the cheer leaders Maybe these gam es could a c tu shyally be abou t football eventually and not NBC ratings on Satu rday nights
Like Crow ther told me ldquoIf som eone said you could go and play [in the XFL] Irsquod probably go play because itrsquos basically like football When you get in the gam e it pretty m uch looks the s a m e rdquo
But if it becom es abou t footshyball will people still watch W hen yoursquore c rea ted for TV you b e t te r hope so

Get a Life
Fate is all fine and dandy No one is discounting fate Anyone whorsquos ever read ldquoOedipus Rex knows not to mess with fate your eyes get gouged out you are tormented Itrsquos not a good idea to mess with fate my friendBut fate is a tricky business you can rsquot take it lightly but on the o ther hand yoursquove got to leave room somewhere for free will
You can never be certain who your soul mate is in advance you know You can rsquot just sit back and expect soul mates to do everyshything for you You have got to be actively involved in the formation of your own life however it is fated to go Yoursquove got to say things like ldquoYou stay alive I will find yourdquo or do things tha t make your soul m ate say ldquoYou had me at hello rdquo or when asked yoursquove got to say your soul m ate is ldquoworth dying forrdquo
Now itrsquos the Valentinersquos Day time of year everybodyrsquos getting all mushy again from last Valentinersquos Day time which is completely wonderful It really is But strange a t the sam e time because how can you be mushy a t the exact sam e time every year
Anyhow about fate itrsquos a dangerous thing and some people are sadly conshyfused about w hat fate actually means Fate means tha t if you do the thing you a re fated to do you have a hundred p e r shycent probability tha t tha t thing will play out the way it is fated Fate does not m ean that if you sit in your room all day playing video games your life is still fated to be highly exciting When yoursquore passive then yoursquore not active and when you are not active you can rsquot be said to be doing something can you
If you are fated to be president but you never run for the election you have just used your free will to negate your desshytiny If you never give blood or help your fellow citizens in some way you can rsquot really say you a re pro-hum an beings
Now some people really are not pro- people and they show it by the am ount of time and money they give to more furry more leggy creatures This is not to say tha t it is right or wrong to be pro-human but if one is destined to be for people and not against them he or she ought to do something for them Something like givshying blood
At this time of month for goodness sakes itrsquos perfect Blood ie hea r t ie Valentinersquos Day On top of such a close connection February has been designatshy
ed American h ea r t m onth so along with giving your loved one a dozen red roses (a dozen roses always makes a nice V- day gift) why not donate a p int of the real red stuff
Now being tha t itrsquos the Valentinersquos Day time of year the personal aspec t of fate must take cen te r stage One m ore time I will go over this fate business If it is Valentinersquos Day and you think you are fated to have a wonderful evening with the person of your dreams but you never call tha t person if you never do anything for tha t person all I have to say is good luck because you will need it On the other hand if it is Valentinersquos Day and you think you are forever destined to be alone on this day o rsquo love bu t you go to a party anyway or finally send a card to tha t special ldquofriendrdquo your chances of being alone forever a re not so good
Some say there is no escaping destiny bu t I think th a t sometimes it is easy to escape your destiny especially if you donrsquot do anything about it

Defending Notre Dame athletesThe in troduction to Peyton Bergrsquos interview of Chris Zorich
in the Feb 9 Observer contains an unfortuna te and very sloppy assessm en t of ldquoath le tes rdquo While trying to credit Zorich for his ldquoChristopher Zorich Foundationrdquo Berg paints all a th shyletes with a wide brush saying th a t we a re ldquoin an age w here ath le tes routinely find themselves in trouble with the lawrdquo
Certainly he doesn rsquot intend all ath letes from pee wees to the pros does he So who does he m ean Professional a th shyletes College and professional Would th a t include o u r No1 ranked w o m en rsquos basketball team th a t lawless bunch Perhaps he only m eans ldquohigh profilerdquo ath le tes whose lives a re scrutin ized by the m edia because we the public pay an unhea lthy am oun t of a t tention to them as people
And w h a t does he m ean by routine He seem s to be saying th a t these ath le tes (whoever they are) a re individually fre shy
quently in trouble with the law Does h e have any idea how m any ath le tes th e re a re in the w orld Even limiting h imself to the NFL NBA NHL and Major League Baseball Mr Berg c a n rsquot be saying th a t all of those guys a re a bunch of recidivist criminals can he
Or does he m e an to say ldquoIn an age w h ere the headlines routinely fea tu re celebrity a th le tes in t roub le with the law Zorich instead rdquo Such a s ta te m e n t would m ake a lot m ore sense to m e and would be fa irer to Mr Zorichrsquos team m ates and the m any o ther a th le tes in the world very few of whom m ake the headlines and very few of w hom a re criminals

Wednesday is Valentinersquos Day Irsquom already d read ing it
The other 11 12 m onths of the year a dozen roses go for less than $20 Now Irsquoll be lucky to find them for less than $30 and double or even triple that if I w an t them delivered Then I have to buy a card The real nice ones gold- plated with fancy letshytering and a really romantic poem inside which can run up to six dollars For one card T h a t s a lot m ore than the cards I usually get which fea ture some crude cartoon and usually an even c ruder joke involving som e disgusting bodishyly function But a t least those a re funny good Valentinersquos Day ca rds a r e n rsquot even funny at all
And after Irsquove pu rchased those I need to get a hear t-shaped box of can dies a stuffed teddy bear a botshytle of massage oil som e a r o shymatic candles som e jewelry and a bottle of wine and then before 1 know it Irsquove got more gifts than I can hold and a m axed-out credit card
But th a trsquos not the problem The p robshylem is I have no one to buy them for
I wouldnrsquot ordishynarily care mdash I donrsquot mind being single I don t have time around classes and everything else I do to have a se r ishyous relationship and I donrsquot have the money to buy nice things or go to d inner at any shywhere more expensive than the dining hall(ldquoYou w an t cheese on your WhopperI donrsquot have tha t kind of moneyrsquorsquo)
But being alone on Valentinersquos Day is ju s t unfair Every o ther commercial on televishysion has som ething to do with the holiday Give these (lowers to show how much you love someoneBuy this Hallmark card to show how much you love som eshyone Gel this expensive necklace to show how m uch you love someone If you don rsquot love som eone buy stuff and maybe som eone might love you
1 don t mind the b a r ra g e of com m erc ia lshyism I love splurging and being romantic Ask my last girlfriend I bought her so many things I had to sell one of my kidshyneys She had s ta r ted a small teddy bea r collection I singlehandedly tu rned it into the Teddy Bear Smithsonian She could have m ade a d ress out of the petals from all of the roses I gave her (Donrsquot think tha t idea never crossed my mind) I had to siphon gas to m ake it back to South Bend
But w hen yoursquore not seeing anyone Valentinersquos gifts a re a tad inappropr ia te ldquoHi I sit behind you in theology and uh h e re rsquos some roses and som e candies and mdash oh here look Hallm ark teddy bea rs tha t kiss magnetically SMOOCH You w a n n a go
out with me ton igh trdquo Meanwhile h e r psyshycho r a d a r is sc ream ing red alert
When yoursquore single and donrsquot w an t to be on Valentinersquos Day it seem s like everyone you know has somebody My best friend is m arr ied My ex is practically engaged My twice-divorced fa ther is living with som eshyone My sis ter has an In terne t relationship Even my dog has a ldquospecial friendrdquo I sw ear Cupid is laughing a t me behind my back You think Irsquom joking I got an e-mail from a female who said she w anted to get to know me After I rifled off an in terested response she sen t me an invitation to see h e r hom epage at lookatm eiam nakedcom ldquoHa ha Mike Irsquom shooting everyone else with my a r ro w s of love You get a knife in the back and a kick in the rdquo Okay so maybe th a t rsquos a bit too over-the-top
Everyone tells me th a t 1 shou ldn rsquot worry abou t long-term relationships right now Of course theyrsquore right but 1 c a n rsquot help w onshy

NDSMC studen t re la tions and soc ial24-hour space T hese a re the conshycerns th a t The Observer decided w ere m ost p ress ing to the s tuden t body here a t Notre Dame and upon which they based the ir views with regards the upcom ing election Excuse me bu t w hen exactly did I get to be so vapid
My apologies if I am completely w rong in this (and I sincerely hope tha t 1 am not) but I refuse to believe th a t the Notre Dame s tuden t body is so self-centered Yes I do realize th a t th e re a rc p roblem s su rround ing all these issues I have spen t as m uch time as anyone else complaining about parie tals or abou t football tickets But I think these a re far from being the most im portan t issues here In addition the problem with trying to address things like parie ta ls is th a t they will probably continue to exist year af te r y ear and all these ldquosolutionsrdquo w o n rsquot really do much of anything In light of this m aybe the average Notre Dame s tu d en t would like to thinkabou t la rge r issues
Here Irsquom afraid th a t my personal feelings abou t this election are going to in trude but so be it The biggest p roblem I see a round here is tha t Notre Dame seem s to have lost its sense of community One of the things th a t really a t t rac ted me to this school w as th a t it w as supposed to be like a family a Notre Dame Family (as they say every w eek a t Mass) But w hat kind of family excludes so m any of its family m em bers
W hat I am getting a t he re is th a t too m uch of the time we complain abou t our own m inor problem s and think of w h a t would m ake us happy while ignoring those of som eone who m ight have m ore serious problems 1 believe th a t m any of the cand ida tes fall prey to this mentality For e x a m shyple the re a re many of us who a r e n rsquot Catholic yet it is suggested tha t m ore s tuden t body m asses would som ehow help s t reng then our com m unishyty Or w ha t abou t the problem s with race and gende r rela tions th a t divide us (and yes they do exist mdash why else would we have offices for dealing with these problems) Why a rc these issues not considered in your evalushyation of the candida tes
This having been said w ha t abou t the fact th a t we are pa r t ol a larger community a com munity th a t we largely ignore Did you ever w onder why most of South Bend has signs up for Ind iana Basketball but not tor Notre Dame We h ere on cam pus tend to be a bit full of ourselves (with good reason mdash it is Notre Dame af te r all) and as a result we m is trea t the community th a t has to deal with us This bond with the people of South Bend is som ething th a t I feel needs to be re-estab lished and this can only be accomplished th rough in teracting with the people of South Bend andgiving back to them bdquo
For me the only ticket th a t ca res abou t such issues is D em etra Smith and Yogeld Andre The O bserverrsquos coverage of the election dismisses their platform because it doesnrsquot ca te r to ldquoissues of b ro ad e r appeal to s tu shyden ts rdquo But so w ha t if they d o n rsquot talk abou t things like F o u n d errsquos DayHow many of us really w en t to tha t anyw ay P erhaps they feel as I do th a t the re a re la rge r issues a t s take than w h e th e r my life he re is as easy and ca refree as possible They w an t to push me to be a more cai ing p e r shyson and a be t te r p a r t of this community They w an t to m ake su re tha t our Notre Dame experience is som eth ing th a t we can be proud of
We a re blessed to be he re a t Notre Dame bu t I think th a t making the m ost o u r years he re depends on m ore th a n w h e th e r parie ta ls a re abolshyished or not P erhaps I am being too naive in my idea of w ha t s tuden ts he re will ca re about I guess this election will prove m e right or wrongBut if you think itrsquos abou t time for s tu d e n t governm en t to lead us som eshyw here for a change vote for Smith and Andre on Monday

Iverson sco red 15 of his 25 points in th e f in a l n in e m i n u t e s a n d S te p h o n M arbu ry hit two 3 -po in te rs in the final 53 seconds as the E as t cam e back from a 21-point deficit
W hile p r e s e n t in g th e MVP a w a r d to I v e r s o n NBA c o m m i s s i o n e r D a v id S tern with a sly gr in on his face told Iverson th a t g r e a t b a s k e tb a l l ldquoca n be w ra p p e d mdash if you p a r d o n th e e x p r e s shysion mdash in very sm all p a c k a g e s rdquo

The East tra i led 95-74 with n ine m in shyu tes left a f te r th e W est d o m in a te d the first 39 m inu tes of the gam e beh ind its su p e r io r size

Ted Fox
Fox S p o r ts Almost
The XFL m anI don rsquot know w ho 1 w as ta lk shy
ing to w hen I m u tte red th a t in the direction of my com puter 10 seconds ago b u t it does sum up the feelshyings of a sports fan trying to figure out w ha t to m ake of this new football league
There have been two weeks of XFL action now com shyplete with everyshybodyrsquos favorite WWF play-by- play voice Jim Ross yelling abou t som e ldquohellaciousrdquo hits and Irsquom wondering
Are you setting your VCR to tape the Chicago Enforcers gam e yet Are you m aking plans to road tr ip down to Orlando and catch the 2-0 Rage in action
Maybe you are m aybe you a r e n rsquot but I have formed a coushyple of my own opinions so far
First w h a t rsquos good abou t the new league it gives players coaches t ra in e rs and anyone else associa ted with football team s who hav e n rsquot m a d e it in the NFL a chance to keep playshying For them the XFL is a way to stay in professional football and maybe even improve their chances of one day m aking it to or for some back to the NFL
And right ab o u t here my list of w ha t I like s ta r ts to ru n p re t shyty thin
Irsquom not going to lie and say tha t w atching scantily clad cheer leaders doesn rsquot have a certa in am oun t of appeal
However th a t rsquos one of this leaguersquos biggest problems Every time the c a m e ra leaves
the perspective of the lacrosse he lm et-w ear ing field pho tog ra shyp h e r and ven tu res to the som eshyw h a t uninhibited cheer ing secshytion football ceases to be the focus of the broadcast
Sex appeal takes overEven som e of the on-field
ru les leave me asking ldquoW hyrdquoTake the ldquoDash for the Ballrdquo
which has taken the place of the coin toss to de term ine posshysession Matt Duda a w ri te r on XFLcom says it rdquo condenses all the a t tr ibu tes th a t m ake football the g rea tes t of A m er ica rsquos sports into four testosterone-fil led secondsrdquo
Basically both players s ta r t side-by-side 20 yards away from the ball the re feree tells th e m w hen to go and the guy who com es up with the ball wins
Sound a little dangerous Yeah but d o n rsquot w orry th e re rsquos only been one se p a ra te d shoulshyd e r so far Before the gam e even sta rts
Besides isnrsquot th a t a small pr ice to pay to get back to the glory days of sm ash m outh footshyball Back w hen Vince Lom bardi would pick his fastest p layer to go tear ing af ter the _ ball p laced a t L am b eau rsquos 50 N d o n rsquot you r e m e m b e r those days
Neither do IIn all fairness to the new
league I realize I could be com shypletely off the XFL black and red ball I took a leisurely Sunday walk a round my dorm and asked som eone a lot m ore in touch with football th a n me Notre Dame jun io r long s n a p shyp e r J o h n Crowther w ha t he though t of Saturday n igh trsquos new est ra tings contender
ldquoI like to watch football so I kind of like itrdquo Crow ther said ldquoBut they try to be too flashy alm ost too m uch like wrestling I guess th a t rsquos probably their point The only th ing th a t I really like th a t rsquos different than the NFL is w hen they do the

opening coin toss rdquoDamaging testimony from an
exper t witness Irsquom still not a big fan of the dash though maybe because Irsquod be grabbing m ore tu r f with my helm et than ball with my hands
Furthe rm ore Irsquom still not quite su re why the governor of Minnesota is trying to give me analysis Irsquom not su re why real football involves putting nickshyn am es like ldquoE-Ruptrdquo on the back of your je rsey or having the announcers try to convince us ju s t how legitimate the league is
W hat we have m aybe for the first time in sports history is a league th a t w as crea ted for TV This isnrsquot a struggling football league or even a prosperous one looking to gain exposure by getting TV coverage And w e rsquod
be living som ew here outside of Candy Land if we d idnrsquot notice the increasing com m ercia lizashytion of all sports including the NFL (Crsquomon mdash the ldquoMTV Presen ts the E-Trade Super Bowl Halftime Showrdquo)
But the XFL itself not ju s t its advertising cam paign is a m a r shyketing ploy an at titude com shyplete with sex appeal violence fireworks ro tat ing ca m e ra angles and smoke
Football is m erely the m eans to deliver th a t WWF image If bowling could have worked w e rsquod probably be w atch ing the XBL right now as guys rolled some hellacious strikes in the t rue tradition of sm a sh m outh sports
Maybe the re is some hope Mike Celizic a contribu tor to MSNBCcom noted how the
footballXFL seem ed to violate some of its cha rge in week two devotshying m ore of its time to the gam e and less to the cheer leaders Maybe these gam es could a c tu shyally be abou t football eventually and not NBC ratings on Satu rday nights
Like Crow ther told me ldquoIf som eone said you could go and play [in the XFL] Irsquod probably go play because itrsquos basically like football When you get in the gam e it pretty m uch looks the s a m e rdquo
But if it becom es abou t footshyball will people still watch W hen yoursquore c rea ted for TV you b e t te r hope so

Get a Life
Fate is all fine and dandy No one is discounting fate Anyone whorsquos ever read ldquoOedipus Rex knows not to mess with fate your eyes get gouged out you are tormented Itrsquos not a good idea to mess with fate my friendBut fate is a tricky business you can rsquot take it lightly but on the o ther hand yoursquove got to leave room somewhere for free will
You can never be certain who your soul mate is in advance you know You can rsquot just sit back and expect soul mates to do everyshything for you You have got to be actively involved in the formation of your own life however it is fated to go Yoursquove got to say things like ldquoYou stay alive I will find yourdquo or do things tha t make your soul m ate say ldquoYou had me at hello rdquo or when asked yoursquove got to say your soul m ate is ldquoworth dying forrdquo
Now itrsquos the Valentinersquos Day time of year everybodyrsquos getting all mushy again from last Valentinersquos Day time which is completely wonderful It really is But strange a t the sam e time because how can you be mushy a t the exact sam e time every year
Anyhow about fate itrsquos a dangerous thing and some people are sadly conshyfused about w hat fate actually means Fate means tha t if you do the thing you a re fated to do you have a hundred p e r shycent probability tha t tha t thing will play out the way it is fated Fate does not m ean that if you sit in your room all day playing video games your life is still fated to be highly exciting When yoursquore passive then yoursquore not active and when you are not active you can rsquot be said to be doing something can you
If you are fated to be president but you never run for the election you have just used your free will to negate your desshytiny If you never give blood or help your fellow citizens in some way you can rsquot really say you a re pro-hum an beings
Now some people really are not pro- people and they show it by the am ount of time and money they give to more furry more leggy creatures This is not to say tha t it is right or wrong to be pro-human but if one is destined to be for people and not against them he or she ought to do something for them Something like givshying blood
At this time of month for goodness sakes itrsquos perfect Blood ie hea r t ie Valentinersquos Day On top of such a close connection February has been designatshy
ed American h ea r t m onth so along with giving your loved one a dozen red roses (a dozen roses always makes a nice V- day gift) why not donate a p int of the real red stuff
Now being tha t itrsquos the Valentinersquos Day time of year the personal aspec t of fate must take cen te r stage One m ore time I will go over this fate business If it is Valentinersquos Day and you think you are fated to have a wonderful evening with the person of your dreams but you never call tha t person if you never do anything for tha t person all I have to say is good luck because you will need it On the other hand if it is Valentinersquos Day and you think you are forever destined to be alone on this day o rsquo love bu t you go to a party anyway or finally send a card to tha t special ldquofriendrdquo your chances of being alone forever a re not so good
Some say there is no escaping destiny bu t I think th a t sometimes it is easy to escape your destiny especially if you donrsquot do anything about it

Defending Notre Dame athletesThe in troduction to Peyton Bergrsquos interview of Chris Zorich
in the Feb 9 Observer contains an unfortuna te and very sloppy assessm en t of ldquoath le tes rdquo While trying to credit Zorich for his ldquoChristopher Zorich Foundationrdquo Berg paints all a th shyletes with a wide brush saying th a t we a re ldquoin an age w here ath le tes routinely find themselves in trouble with the lawrdquo
Certainly he doesn rsquot intend all ath letes from pee wees to the pros does he So who does he m ean Professional a th shyletes College and professional Would th a t include o u r No1 ranked w o m en rsquos basketball team th a t lawless bunch Perhaps he only m eans ldquohigh profilerdquo ath le tes whose lives a re scrutin ized by the m edia because we the public pay an unhea lthy am oun t of a t tention to them as people
And w h a t does he m ean by routine He seem s to be saying th a t these ath le tes (whoever they are) a re individually fre shy
quently in trouble with the law Does h e have any idea how m any ath le tes th e re a re in the w orld Even limiting h imself to the NFL NBA NHL and Major League Baseball Mr Berg c a n rsquot be saying th a t all of those guys a re a bunch of recidivist criminals can he
Or does he m e an to say ldquoIn an age w h ere the headlines routinely fea tu re celebrity a th le tes in t roub le with the law Zorich instead rdquo Such a s ta te m e n t would m ake a lot m ore sense to m e and would be fa irer to Mr Zorichrsquos team m ates and the m any o ther a th le tes in the world very few of whom m ake the headlines and very few of w hom a re criminals

Wednesday is Valentinersquos Day Irsquom already d read ing it
The other 11 12 m onths of the year a dozen roses go for less than $20 Now Irsquoll be lucky to find them for less than $30 and double or even triple that if I w an t them delivered Then I have to buy a card The real nice ones gold- plated with fancy letshytering and a really romantic poem inside which can run up to six dollars For one card T h a t s a lot m ore than the cards I usually get which fea ture some crude cartoon and usually an even c ruder joke involving som e disgusting bodishyly function But a t least those a re funny good Valentinersquos Day ca rds a r e n rsquot even funny at all
And after Irsquove pu rchased those I need to get a hear t-shaped box of can dies a stuffed teddy bear a botshytle of massage oil som e a r o shymatic candles som e jewelry and a bottle of wine and then before 1 know it Irsquove got more gifts than I can hold and a m axed-out credit card
But th a trsquos not the problem The p robshylem is I have no one to buy them for
I wouldnrsquot ordishynarily care mdash I donrsquot mind being single I don t have time around classes and everything else I do to have a se r ishyous relationship and I donrsquot have the money to buy nice things or go to d inner at any shywhere more expensive than the dining hall(ldquoYou w an t cheese on your WhopperI donrsquot have tha t kind of moneyrsquorsquo)
But being alone on Valentinersquos Day is ju s t unfair Every o ther commercial on televishysion has som ething to do with the holiday Give these (lowers to show how much you love someoneBuy this Hallmark card to show how much you love som eshyone Gel this expensive necklace to show how m uch you love someone If you don rsquot love som eone buy stuff and maybe som eone might love you
1 don t mind the b a r ra g e of com m erc ia lshyism I love splurging and being romantic Ask my last girlfriend I bought her so many things I had to sell one of my kidshyneys She had s ta r ted a small teddy bea r collection I singlehandedly tu rned it into the Teddy Bear Smithsonian She could have m ade a d ress out of the petals from all of the roses I gave her (Donrsquot think tha t idea never crossed my mind) I had to siphon gas to m ake it back to South Bend
But w hen yoursquore not seeing anyone Valentinersquos gifts a re a tad inappropr ia te ldquoHi I sit behind you in theology and uh h e re rsquos some roses and som e candies and mdash oh here look Hallm ark teddy bea rs tha t kiss magnetically SMOOCH You w a n n a go
out with me ton igh trdquo Meanwhile h e r psyshycho r a d a r is sc ream ing red alert
When yoursquore single and donrsquot w an t to be on Valentinersquos Day it seem s like everyone you know has somebody My best friend is m arr ied My ex is practically engaged My twice-divorced fa ther is living with som eshyone My sis ter has an In terne t relationship Even my dog has a ldquospecial friendrdquo I sw ear Cupid is laughing a t me behind my back You think Irsquom joking I got an e-mail from a female who said she w anted to get to know me After I rifled off an in terested response she sen t me an invitation to see h e r hom epage at lookatm eiam nakedcom ldquoHa ha Mike Irsquom shooting everyone else with my a r ro w s of love You get a knife in the back and a kick in the rdquo Okay so maybe th a t rsquos a bit too over-the-top
Everyone tells me th a t 1 shou ldn rsquot worry abou t long-term relationships right now Of course theyrsquore right but 1 c a n rsquot help w onshy

tha t nobody loves a whiner Complaining is ju s t so un-sexy So
w h a t if Irsquoll be the only person alone on The Big V-Day or if Im not Irsquoll feel like the only person alone It m eans I d o n rsquot have to buy big expensive gifts and I can save enough money to possibly ask som eshyone for d inner a t TGI F ridayrsquos as opposed to Burger King It m eans I can buy a lot of little gifts for a lot of special people Cupid packs arrows Irsquom toting a shotgun mdash I can hit a w ider target

amprBroader issues need student recognitionThe Campus Life Council F o u n d errsquos Day football ticket distribution
NDSMC studen t re la tions and soc ial24-hour space T hese a re the conshycerns th a t The Observer decided w ere m ost p ress ing to the s tuden t body here a t Notre Dame and upon which they based the ir views with regards the upcom ing election Excuse me bu t w hen exactly did I get to be so vapid
My apologies if I am completely w rong in this (and I sincerely hope tha t 1 am not) but I refuse to believe th a t the Notre Dame s tuden t body is so self-centered Yes I do realize th a t th e re a rc p roblem s su rround ing all these issues I have spen t as m uch time as anyone else complaining about parie tals or abou t football tickets But I think these a re far from being the most im portan t issues here In addition the problem with trying to address things like parie ta ls is th a t they will probably continue to exist year af te r y ear and all these ldquosolutionsrdquo w o n rsquot really do much of anything In light of this m aybe the average Notre Dame s tu d en t would like to thinkabou t la rge r issues
Here Irsquom afraid th a t my personal feelings abou t this election are going to in trude but so be it The biggest p roblem I see a round here is tha t Notre Dame seem s to have lost its sense of community One of the things th a t really a t t rac ted me to this school w as th a t it w as supposed to be like a family a Notre Dame Family (as they say every w eek a t Mass) But w hat kind of family excludes so m any of its family m em bers
W hat I am getting a t he re is th a t too m uch of the time we complain abou t our own m inor problem s and think of w h a t would m ake us happy while ignoring those of som eone who m ight have m ore serious problems 1 believe th a t m any of the cand ida tes fall prey to this mentality For e x a m shyple the re a re many of us who a r e n rsquot Catholic yet it is suggested tha t m ore s tuden t body m asses would som ehow help s t reng then our com m unishyty Or w ha t abou t the problem s with race and gende r rela tions th a t divide us (and yes they do exist mdash why else would we have offices for dealing with these problems) Why a rc these issues not considered in your evalushyation of the candida tes
This having been said w ha t abou t the fact th a t we are pa r t ol a larger community a com munity th a t we largely ignore Did you ever w onder why most of South Bend has signs up for Ind iana Basketball but not tor Notre Dame We h ere on cam pus tend to be a bit full of ourselves (with good reason mdash it is Notre Dame af te r all) and as a result we m is trea t the community th a t has to deal with us This bond with the people of South Bend is som ething th a t I feel needs to be re-estab lished and this can only be accomplished th rough in teracting with the people of South Bend andgiving back to them bdquo
For me the only ticket th a t ca res abou t such issues is D em etra Smith and Yogeld Andre The O bserverrsquos coverage of the election dismisses their platform because it doesnrsquot ca te r to ldquoissues of b ro ad e r appeal to s tu shyden ts rdquo But so w ha t if they d o n rsquot talk abou t things like F o u n d errsquos DayHow many of us really w en t to tha t anyw ay P erhaps they feel as I do th a t the re a re la rge r issues a t s take than w h e th e r my life he re is as easy and ca refree as possible They w an t to push me to be a more cai ing p e r shyson and a be t te r p a r t of this community They w an t to m ake su re tha t our Notre Dame experience is som eth ing th a t we can be proud of
We a re blessed to be he re a t Notre Dame bu t I think th a t making the m ost o u r years he re depends on m ore th a n w h e th e r parie ta ls a re abolshyished or not P erhaps I am being too naive in my idea of w ha t s tuden ts he re will ca re about I guess this election will prove m e right or wrongBut if you think itrsquos abou t time for s tu d e n t governm en t to lead us som eshyw here for a change vote for Smith and Andre on Monday

Ted Fox
Fox S p o r ts Almost
The XFL m anI don rsquot know w ho 1 w as ta lk shy
ing to w hen I m u tte red th a t in the direction of my com puter 10 seconds ago b u t it does sum up the feelshyings of a sports fan trying to figure out w ha t to m ake of this new football league
There have been two weeks of XFL action now com shyplete with everyshybodyrsquos favorite WWF play-by- play voice Jim Ross yelling abou t som e ldquohellaciousrdquo hits and Irsquom wondering
Are you setting your VCR to tape the Chicago Enforcers gam e yet Are you m aking plans to road tr ip down to Orlando and catch the 2-0 Rage in action
Maybe you are m aybe you a r e n rsquot but I have formed a coushyple of my own opinions so far
First w h a t rsquos good abou t the new league it gives players coaches t ra in e rs and anyone else associa ted with football team s who hav e n rsquot m a d e it in the NFL a chance to keep playshying For them the XFL is a way to stay in professional football and maybe even improve their chances of one day m aking it to or for some back to the NFL
And right ab o u t here my list of w ha t I like s ta r ts to ru n p re t shyty thin
Irsquom not going to lie and say tha t w atching scantily clad cheer leaders doesn rsquot have a certa in am oun t of appeal
However th a t rsquos one of this leaguersquos biggest problems Every time the c a m e ra leaves
the perspective of the lacrosse he lm et-w ear ing field pho tog ra shyp h e r and ven tu res to the som eshyw h a t uninhibited cheer ing secshytion football ceases to be the focus of the broadcast
Sex appeal takes overEven som e of the on-field
ru les leave me asking ldquoW hyrdquoTake the ldquoDash for the Ballrdquo
which has taken the place of the coin toss to de term ine posshysession Matt Duda a w ri te r on XFLcom says it rdquo condenses all the a t tr ibu tes th a t m ake football the g rea tes t of A m er ica rsquos sports into four testosterone-fil led secondsrdquo
Basically both players s ta r t side-by-side 20 yards away from the ball the re feree tells th e m w hen to go and the guy who com es up with the ball wins
Sound a little dangerous Yeah but d o n rsquot w orry th e re rsquos only been one se p a ra te d shoulshyd e r so far Before the gam e even sta rts
Besides isnrsquot th a t a small pr ice to pay to get back to the glory days of sm ash m outh footshyball Back w hen Vince Lom bardi would pick his fastest p layer to go tear ing af ter the _ ball p laced a t L am b eau rsquos 50 N d o n rsquot you r e m e m b e r those days
Neither do IIn all fairness to the new
league I realize I could be com shypletely off the XFL black and red ball I took a leisurely Sunday walk a round my dorm and asked som eone a lot m ore in touch with football th a n me Notre Dame jun io r long s n a p shyp e r J o h n Crowther w ha t he though t of Saturday n igh trsquos new est ra tings contender
ldquoI like to watch football so I kind of like itrdquo Crow ther said ldquoBut they try to be too flashy alm ost too m uch like wrestling I guess th a t rsquos probably their point The only th ing th a t I really like th a t rsquos different than the NFL is w hen they do the

opening coin toss rdquoDamaging testimony from an
exper t witness Irsquom still not a big fan of the dash though maybe because Irsquod be grabbing m ore tu r f with my helm et than ball with my hands
Furthe rm ore Irsquom still not quite su re why the governor of Minnesota is trying to give me analysis Irsquom not su re why real football involves putting nickshyn am es like ldquoE-Ruptrdquo on the back of your je rsey or having the announcers try to convince us ju s t how legitimate the league is
W hat we have m aybe for the first time in sports history is a league th a t w as crea ted for TV This isnrsquot a struggling football league or even a prosperous one looking to gain exposure by getting TV coverage And w e rsquod
be living som ew here outside of Candy Land if we d idnrsquot notice the increasing com m ercia lizashytion of all sports including the NFL (Crsquomon mdash the ldquoMTV Presen ts the E-Trade Super Bowl Halftime Showrdquo)
But the XFL itself not ju s t its advertising cam paign is a m a r shyketing ploy an at titude com shyplete with sex appeal violence fireworks ro tat ing ca m e ra angles and smoke
Football is m erely the m eans to deliver th a t WWF image If bowling could have worked w e rsquod probably be w atch ing the XBL right now as guys rolled some hellacious strikes in the t rue tradition of sm a sh m outh sports
Maybe the re is some hope Mike Celizic a contribu tor to MSNBCcom noted how the
footballXFL seem ed to violate some of its cha rge in week two devotshying m ore of its time to the gam e and less to the cheer leaders Maybe these gam es could a c tu shyally be abou t football eventually and not NBC ratings on Satu rday nights
Like Crow ther told me ldquoIf som eone said you could go and play [in the XFL] Irsquod probably go play because itrsquos basically like football When you get in the gam e it pretty m uch looks the s a m e rdquo
But if it becom es abou t footshyball will people still watch W hen yoursquore c rea ted for TV you b e t te r hope so

Get a Life
Fate is all fine and dandy No one is discounting fate Anyone whorsquos ever read ldquoOedipus Rex knows not to mess with fate your eyes get gouged out you are tormented Itrsquos not a good idea to mess with fate my friendBut fate is a tricky business you can rsquot take it lightly but on the o ther hand yoursquove got to leave room somewhere for free will
You can never be certain who your soul mate is in advance you know You can rsquot just sit back and expect soul mates to do everyshything for you You have got to be actively involved in the formation of your own life however it is fated to go Yoursquove got to say things like ldquoYou stay alive I will find yourdquo or do things tha t make your soul m ate say ldquoYou had me at hello rdquo or when asked yoursquove got to say your soul m ate is ldquoworth dying forrdquo
Now itrsquos the Valentinersquos Day time of year everybodyrsquos getting all mushy again from last Valentinersquos Day time which is completely wonderful It really is But strange a t the sam e time because how can you be mushy a t the exact sam e time every year
Anyhow about fate itrsquos a dangerous thing and some people are sadly conshyfused about w hat fate actually means Fate means tha t if you do the thing you a re fated to do you have a hundred p e r shycent probability tha t tha t thing will play out the way it is fated Fate does not m ean that if you sit in your room all day playing video games your life is still fated to be highly exciting When yoursquore passive then yoursquore not active and when you are not active you can rsquot be said to be doing something can you
If you are fated to be president but you never run for the election you have just used your free will to negate your desshytiny If you never give blood or help your fellow citizens in some way you can rsquot really say you a re pro-hum an beings
Now some people really are not pro- people and they show it by the am ount of time and money they give to more furry more leggy creatures This is not to say tha t it is right or wrong to be pro-human but if one is destined to be for people and not against them he or she ought to do something for them Something like givshying blood
At this time of month for goodness sakes itrsquos perfect Blood ie hea r t ie Valentinersquos Day On top of such a close connection February has been designatshy
ed American h ea r t m onth so along with giving your loved one a dozen red roses (a dozen roses always makes a nice V- day gift) why not donate a p int of the real red stuff
Now being tha t itrsquos the Valentinersquos Day time of year the personal aspec t of fate must take cen te r stage One m ore time I will go over this fate business If it is Valentinersquos Day and you think you are fated to have a wonderful evening with the person of your dreams but you never call tha t person if you never do anything for tha t person all I have to say is good luck because you will need it On the other hand if it is Valentinersquos Day and you think you are forever destined to be alone on this day o rsquo love bu t you go to a party anyway or finally send a card to tha t special ldquofriendrdquo your chances of being alone forever a re not so good
Some say there is no escaping destiny bu t I think th a t sometimes it is easy to escape your destiny especially if you donrsquot do anything about it

Defending Notre Dame athletesThe in troduction to Peyton Bergrsquos interview of Chris Zorich
in the Feb 9 Observer contains an unfortuna te and very sloppy assessm en t of ldquoath le tes rdquo While trying to credit Zorich for his ldquoChristopher Zorich Foundationrdquo Berg paints all a th shyletes with a wide brush saying th a t we a re ldquoin an age w here ath le tes routinely find themselves in trouble with the lawrdquo
Certainly he doesn rsquot intend all ath letes from pee wees to the pros does he So who does he m ean Professional a th shyletes College and professional Would th a t include o u r No1 ranked w o m en rsquos basketball team th a t lawless bunch Perhaps he only m eans ldquohigh profilerdquo ath le tes whose lives a re scrutin ized by the m edia because we the public pay an unhea lthy am oun t of a t tention to them as people
And w h a t does he m ean by routine He seem s to be saying th a t these ath le tes (whoever they are) a re individually fre shy
quently in trouble with the law Does h e have any idea how m any ath le tes th e re a re in the w orld Even limiting h imself to the NFL NBA NHL and Major League Baseball Mr Berg c a n rsquot be saying th a t all of those guys a re a bunch of recidivist criminals can he
Or does he m e an to say ldquoIn an age w h ere the headlines routinely fea tu re celebrity a th le tes in t roub le with the law Zorich instead rdquo Such a s ta te m e n t would m ake a lot m ore sense to m e and would be fa irer to Mr Zorichrsquos team m ates and the m any o ther a th le tes in the world very few of whom m ake the headlines and very few of w hom a re criminals

The other 11 12 m onths of the year a dozen roses go for less than $20 Now Irsquoll be lucky to find them for less than $30 and double or even triple that if I w an t them delivered Then I have to buy a card The real nice ones gold- plated with fancy letshytering and a really romantic poem inside which can run up to six dollars For one card T h a t s a lot m ore than the cards I usually get which fea ture some crude cartoon and usually an even c ruder joke involving som e disgusting bodishyly function But a t least those a re funny good Valentinersquos Day ca rds a r e n rsquot even funny at all
And after Irsquove pu rchased those I need to get a hear t-shaped box of can dies a stuffed teddy bear a botshytle of massage oil som e a r o shymatic candles som e jewelry and a bottle of wine and then before 1 know it Irsquove got more gifts than I can hold and a m axed-out credit card
But th a trsquos not the problem The p robshylem is I have no one to buy them for
I wouldnrsquot ordishynarily care mdash I donrsquot mind being single I don t have time around classes and everything else I do to have a se r ishyous relationship and I donrsquot have the money to buy nice things or go to d inner at any shywhere more expensive than the dining hall(ldquoYou w an t cheese on your WhopperI donrsquot have tha t kind of moneyrsquorsquo)
But being alone on Valentinersquos Day is ju s t unfair Every o ther commercial on televishysion has som ething to do with the holiday Give these (lowers to show how much you love someoneBuy this Hallmark card to show how much you love som eshyone Gel this expensive necklace to show how m uch you love someone If you don rsquot love som eone buy stuff and maybe som eone might love you
1 don t mind the b a r ra g e of com m erc ia lshyism I love splurging and being romantic Ask my last girlfriend I bought her so many things I had to sell one of my kidshyneys She had s ta r ted a small teddy bea r collection I singlehandedly tu rned it into the Teddy Bear Smithsonian She could have m ade a d ress out of the petals from all of the roses I gave her (Donrsquot think tha t idea never crossed my mind) I had to siphon gas to m ake it back to South Bend
But w hen yoursquore not seeing anyone Valentinersquos gifts a re a tad inappropr ia te ldquoHi I sit behind you in theology and uh h e re rsquos some roses and som e candies and mdash oh here look Hallm ark teddy bea rs tha t kiss magnetically SMOOCH You w a n n a go
out with me ton igh trdquo Meanwhile h e r psyshycho r a d a r is sc ream ing red alert
When yoursquore single and donrsquot w an t to be on Valentinersquos Day it seem s like everyone you know has somebody My best friend is m arr ied My ex is practically engaged My twice-divorced fa ther is living with som eshyone My sis ter has an In terne t relationship Even my dog has a ldquospecial friendrdquo I sw ear Cupid is laughing a t me behind my back You think Irsquom joking I got an e-mail from a female who said she w anted to get to know me After I rifled off an in terested response she sen t me an invitation to see h e r hom epage at lookatm eiam nakedcom ldquoHa ha Mike Irsquom shooting everyone else with my a r ro w s of love You get a knife in the back and a kick in the rdquo Okay so maybe th a t rsquos a bit too over-the-top
Everyone tells me th a t 1 shou ldn rsquot worry abou t long-term relationships right now Of course theyrsquore right but 1 c a n rsquot help w onshy

ation but obviously th e re rsquos a stereotype
Is it so wrong th a t I w an t my future special som eone to be a felshylow studentSomeone who u n d e r shys tands the mystique

and beauty of the cam pus Someone who knows how poor Irsquoll be after g raduation Someone who knows tha t S aturdays in au tum n a re off- limits to ex t ra c u r shyricular activities My ex w an ted me to skip the USC gam e in 1999 mdash which tu rned out to be a thrilling com eshyback victory mdash to come up and see her a day early Then
af te r we broke up she w anted me to blow the
N ebraska gam e to go to he r friendrsquos wedding
Her fa the r w as an a lum shynus so she should have
known be t te r th a n to even askBut one thing I do know is
tha t nobody loves a whiner Complaining is ju s t so un-sexy So
w h a t if Irsquoll be the only person alone on The Big V-Day or if Im not Irsquoll feel like the only person alone It m eans I d o n rsquot have to buy big expensive gifts and I can save enough money to possibly ask som eshyone for d inner a t TGI F ridayrsquos as opposed to Burger King It m eans I can buy a lot of little gifts for a lot of special people Cupid packs arrows Irsquom toting a shotgun mdash I can hit a w ider target

NDSMC studen t re la tions and soc ial24-hour space T hese a re the conshycerns th a t The Observer decided w ere m ost p ress ing to the s tuden t body here a t Notre Dame and upon which they based the ir views with regards the upcom ing election Excuse me bu t w hen exactly did I get to be so vapid
My apologies if I am completely w rong in this (and I sincerely hope tha t 1 am not) but I refuse to believe th a t the Notre Dame s tuden t body is so self-centered Yes I do realize th a t th e re a rc p roblem s su rround ing all these issues I have spen t as m uch time as anyone else complaining about parie tals or abou t football tickets But I think these a re far from being the most im portan t issues here In addition the problem with trying to address things like parie ta ls is th a t they will probably continue to exist year af te r y ear and all these ldquosolutionsrdquo w o n rsquot really do much of anything In light of this m aybe the average Notre Dame s tu d en t would like to thinkabou t la rge r issues
Here Irsquom afraid th a t my personal feelings abou t this election are going to in trude but so be it The biggest p roblem I see a round here is tha t Notre Dame seem s to have lost its sense of community One of the things th a t really a t t rac ted me to this school w as th a t it w as supposed to be like a family a Notre Dame Family (as they say every w eek a t Mass) But w hat kind of family excludes so m any of its family m em bers
W hat I am getting a t he re is th a t too m uch of the time we complain abou t our own m inor problem s and think of w h a t would m ake us happy while ignoring those of som eone who m ight have m ore serious problems 1 believe th a t m any of the cand ida tes fall prey to this mentality For e x a m shyple the re a re many of us who a r e n rsquot Catholic yet it is suggested tha t m ore s tuden t body m asses would som ehow help s t reng then our com m unishyty Or w ha t abou t the problem s with race and gende r rela tions th a t divide us (and yes they do exist mdash why else would we have offices for dealing with these problems) Why a rc these issues not considered in your evalushyation of the candida tes
This having been said w ha t abou t the fact th a t we are pa r t ol a larger community a com munity th a t we largely ignore Did you ever w onder why most of South Bend has signs up for Ind iana Basketball but not tor Notre Dame We h ere on cam pus tend to be a bit full of ourselves (with good reason mdash it is Notre Dame af te r all) and as a result we m is trea t the community th a t has to deal with us This bond with the people of South Bend is som ething th a t I feel needs to be re-estab lished and this can only be accomplished th rough in teracting with the people of South Bend andgiving back to them bdquo
For me the only ticket th a t ca res abou t such issues is D em etra Smith and Yogeld Andre The O bserverrsquos coverage of the election dismisses their platform because it doesnrsquot ca te r to ldquoissues of b ro ad e r appeal to s tu shyden ts rdquo But so w ha t if they d o n rsquot talk abou t things like F o u n d errsquos DayHow many of us really w en t to tha t anyw ay P erhaps they feel as I do th a t the re a re la rge r issues a t s take than w h e th e r my life he re is as easy and ca refree as possible They w an t to push me to be a more cai ing p e r shyson and a be t te r p a r t of this community They w an t to m ake su re tha t our Notre Dame experience is som eth ing th a t we can be proud of
We a re blessed to be he re a t Notre Dame bu t I think th a t making the m ost o u r years he re depends on m ore th a n w h e th e r parie ta ls a re abolshyished or not P erhaps I am being too naive in my idea of w ha t s tuden ts he re will ca re about I guess this election will prove m e right or wrongBut if you think itrsquos abou t time for s tu d e n t governm en t to lead us som eshyw here for a change vote for Smith and Andre on Monday

WASHINGTONT urns out the W est isn t all th a t b e t te r
th a n the East Anyone who sa id so this season mdash and anyone w ho sa id so early in the fourth q u a r te r Sunday mdash spoke a little too soon

XFL
Ted Fox
Fox S p o r ts Almost
The XFL m anI don rsquot know w ho 1 w as ta lk shy
ing to w hen I m u tte red th a t in the direction of my com puter 10 seconds ago b u t it does sum up the feelshyings of a sports fan trying to figure out w ha t to m ake of this new football league
There have been two weeks of XFL action now com shyplete with everyshybodyrsquos favorite WWF play-by- play voice Jim Ross yelling abou t som e ldquohellaciousrdquo hits and Irsquom wondering
Are you setting your VCR to tape the Chicago Enforcers gam e yet Are you m aking plans to road tr ip down to Orlando and catch the 2-0 Rage in action
Maybe you are m aybe you a r e n rsquot but I have formed a coushyple of my own opinions so far
First w h a t rsquos good abou t the new league it gives players coaches t ra in e rs and anyone else associa ted with football team s who hav e n rsquot m a d e it in the NFL a chance to keep playshying For them the XFL is a way to stay in professional football and maybe even improve their chances of one day m aking it to or for some back to the NFL
And right ab o u t here my list of w ha t I like s ta r ts to ru n p re t shyty thin
Irsquom not going to lie and say tha t w atching scantily clad cheer leaders doesn rsquot have a certa in am oun t of appeal
However th a t rsquos one of this leaguersquos biggest problems Every time the c a m e ra leaves
the perspective of the lacrosse he lm et-w ear ing field pho tog ra shyp h e r and ven tu res to the som eshyw h a t uninhibited cheer ing secshytion football ceases to be the focus of the broadcast
Sex appeal takes overEven som e of the on-field
ru les leave me asking ldquoW hyrdquoTake the ldquoDash for the Ballrdquo
which has taken the place of the coin toss to de term ine posshysession Matt Duda a w ri te r on XFLcom says it rdquo condenses all the a t tr ibu tes th a t m ake football the g rea tes t of A m er ica rsquos sports into four testosterone-fil led secondsrdquo
Basically both players s ta r t side-by-side 20 yards away from the ball the re feree tells th e m w hen to go and the guy who com es up with the ball wins
Sound a little dangerous Yeah but d o n rsquot w orry th e re rsquos only been one se p a ra te d shoulshyd e r so far Before the gam e even sta rts
Besides isnrsquot th a t a small pr ice to pay to get back to the glory days of sm ash m outh footshyball Back w hen Vince Lom bardi would pick his fastest p layer to go tear ing af ter the _ ball p laced a t L am b eau rsquos 50 N d o n rsquot you r e m e m b e r those days

exper t witness Irsquom still not a big fan of the dash though maybe because Irsquod be grabbing m ore tu r f with my helm et than ball with my hands
Furthe rm ore Irsquom still not quite su re why the governor of Minnesota is trying to give me analysis Irsquom not su re why real football involves putting nickshyn am es like ldquoE-Ruptrdquo on the back of your je rsey or having the announcers try to convince us ju s t how legitimate the league is
W hat we have m aybe for the first time in sports history is a league th a t w as crea ted for TV This isnrsquot a struggling football league or even a prosperous one looking to gain exposure by getting TV coverage And w e rsquod
be living som ew here outside of Candy Land if we d idnrsquot notice the increasing com m ercia lizashytion of all sports including the NFL (Crsquomon mdash the ldquoMTV Presen ts the E-Trade Super Bowl Halftime Showrdquo)
But the XFL itself not ju s t its advertising cam paign is a m a r shyketing ploy an at titude com shyplete with sex appeal violence fireworks ro tat ing ca m e ra angles and smoke
Football is m erely the m eans to deliver th a t WWF image If bowling could have worked w e rsquod probably be w atch ing the XBL right now as guys rolled some hellacious strikes in the t rue tradition of sm a sh m outh sports
Maybe the re is some hope Mike Celizic a contribu tor to MSNBCcom noted how the
footballXFL seem ed to violate some of its cha rge in week two devotshying m ore of its time to the gam e and less to the cheer leaders Maybe these gam es could a c tu shyally be abou t football eventually and not NBC ratings on Satu rday nights
Like Crow ther told me ldquoIf som eone said you could go and play [in the XFL] Irsquod probably go play because itrsquos basically like football When you get in the gam e it pretty m uch looks the s a m e rdquo
But if it becom es abou t footshyball will people still watch W hen yoursquore c rea ted for TV you b e t te r hope so

Get a Life
Fate is all fine and dandy No one is discounting fate Anyone whorsquos ever read ldquoOedipus Rex knows not to mess with fate your eyes get gouged out you are tormented Itrsquos not a good idea to mess with fate my friendBut fate is a tricky business you can rsquot take it lightly but on the o ther hand yoursquove got to leave room somewhere for free will
You can never be certain who your soul mate is in advance you know You can rsquot just sit back and expect soul mates to do everyshything for you You have got to be actively involved in the formation of your own life however it is fated to go Yoursquove got to say things like ldquoYou stay alive I will find yourdquo or do things tha t make your soul m ate say ldquoYou had me at hello rdquo or when asked yoursquove got to say your soul m ate is ldquoworth dying forrdquo
Now itrsquos the Valentinersquos Day time of year everybodyrsquos getting all mushy again from last Valentinersquos Day time which is completely wonderful It really is But strange a t the sam e time because how can you be mushy a t the exact sam e time every year
Anyhow about fate itrsquos a dangerous thing and some people are sadly conshyfused about w hat fate actually means Fate means tha t if you do the thing you a re fated to do you have a hundred p e r shycent probability tha t tha t thing will play out the way it is fated Fate does not m ean that if you sit in your room all day playing video games your life is still fated to be highly exciting When yoursquore passive then yoursquore not active and when you are not active you can rsquot be said to be doing something can you
If you are fated to be president but you never run for the election you have just used your free will to negate your desshytiny If you never give blood or help your fellow citizens in some way you can rsquot really say you a re pro-hum an beings
Now some people really are not pro- people and they show it by the am ount of time and money they give to more furry more leggy creatures This is not to say tha t it is right or wrong to be pro-human but if one is destined to be for people and not against them he or she ought to do something for them Something like givshying blood
At this time of month for goodness sakes itrsquos perfect Blood ie hea r t ie Valentinersquos Day On top of such a close connection February has been designatshy
ed American h ea r t m onth so along with giving your loved one a dozen red roses (a dozen roses always makes a nice V- day gift) why not donate a p int of the real red stuff
Now being tha t itrsquos the Valentinersquos Day time of year the personal aspec t of fate must take cen te r stage One m ore time I will go over this fate business If it is Valentinersquos Day and you think you are fated to have a wonderful evening with the person of your dreams but you never call tha t person if you never do anything for tha t person all I have to say is good luck because you will need it On the other hand if it is Valentinersquos Day and you think you are forever destined to be alone on this day o rsquo love bu t you go to a party anyway or finally send a card to tha t special ldquofriendrdquo your chances of being alone forever a re not so good
Some say there is no escaping destiny bu t I think th a t sometimes it is easy to escape your destiny especially if you donrsquot do anything about it

Defending Notre Dame athletesThe in troduction to Peyton Bergrsquos interview of Chris Zorich
in the Feb 9 Observer contains an unfortuna te and very sloppy assessm en t of ldquoath le tes rdquo While trying to credit Zorich for his ldquoChristopher Zorich Foundationrdquo Berg paints all a th shyletes with a wide brush saying th a t we a re ldquoin an age w here ath le tes routinely find themselves in trouble with the lawrdquo

And w h a t does he m ean by routine He seem s to be saying th a t these ath le tes (whoever they are) a re individually fre shy
quently in trouble with the law Does h e have any idea how m any ath le tes th e re a re in the w orld Even limiting h imself to the NFL NBA NHL and Major League Baseball Mr Berg c a n rsquot be saying th a t all of those guys a re a bunch of recidivist criminals can he
Or does he m e an to say ldquoIn an age w h ere the headlines routinely fea tu re celebrity a th le tes in t roub le with the law Zorich instead rdquo Such a s ta te m e n t would m ake a lot m ore sense to m e and would be fa irer to Mr Zorichrsquos team m ates and the m any o ther a th le tes in the world very few of whom m ake the headlines and very few of w hom a re criminals

Wednesday is Valentinersquos Day Irsquom already d read ing it
The other 11 12 m onths of the year a dozen roses go for less than $20 Now Irsquoll be lucky to find them for less than $30 and double or even triple that if I w an t them delivered Then I have to buy a card The real nice ones gold- plated with fancy letshytering and a really romantic poem inside which can run up to six dollars For one card T h a t s a lot m ore than the cards I usually get which fea ture some crude cartoon and usually an even c ruder joke involving som e disgusting bodishyly function But a t least those a re funny good Valentinersquos Day ca rds a r e n rsquot even funny at all
And after Irsquove pu rchased those I need to get a hear t-shaped box of can dies a stuffed teddy bear a botshytle of massage oil som e a r o shymatic candles som e jewelry and a bottle of wine and then before 1 know it Irsquove got more gifts than I can hold and a m axed-out credit card
But th a trsquos not the problem The p robshylem is I have no one to buy them for
I wouldnrsquot ordishynarily care mdash I donrsquot mind being single I don t have time around classes and everything else I do to have a se r ishyous relationship and I donrsquot have the money to buy nice things or go to d inner at any shywhere more expensive than the dining hall(ldquoYou w an t cheese on your WhopperI donrsquot have tha t kind of moneyrsquorsquo)
But being alone on Valentinersquos Day is ju s t unfair Every o ther commercial on televishysion has som ething to do with the holiday Give these (lowers to show how much you love someoneBuy this Hallmark card to show how much you love som eshyone Gel this expensive necklace to show how m uch you love someone If you don rsquot love som eone buy stuff and maybe som eone might love you
1 don t mind the b a r ra g e of com m erc ia lshyism I love splurging and being romantic Ask my last girlfriend I bought her so many things I had to sell one of my kidshyneys She had s ta r ted a small teddy bea r collection I singlehandedly tu rned it into the Teddy Bear Smithsonian She could have m ade a d ress out of the petals from all of the roses I gave her (Donrsquot think tha t idea never crossed my mind) I had to siphon gas to m ake it back to South Bend
But w hen yoursquore not seeing anyone Valentinersquos gifts a re a tad inappropr ia te ldquoHi I sit behind you in theology and uh h e re rsquos some roses and som e candies and mdash oh here look Hallm ark teddy bea rs tha t kiss magnetically SMOOCH You w a n n a go
out with me ton igh trdquo Meanwhile h e r psyshycho r a d a r is sc ream ing red alert
When yoursquore single and donrsquot w an t to be on Valentinersquos Day it seem s like everyone you know has somebody My best friend is m arr ied My ex is practically engaged My twice-divorced fa ther is living with som eshyone My sis ter has an In terne t relationship Even my dog has a ldquospecial friendrdquo I sw ear Cupid is laughing a t me behind my back You think Irsquom joking I got an e-mail from a female who said she w anted to get to know me After I rifled off an in terested response she sen t me an invitation to see h e r hom epage at lookatm eiam nakedcom ldquoHa ha Mike Irsquom shooting everyone else with my a r ro w s of love You get a knife in the back and a kick in the rdquo Okay so maybe th a t rsquos a bit too over-the-top
Everyone tells me th a t 1 shou ldn rsquot worry abou t long-term relationships right now Of course theyrsquore right but 1 c a n rsquot help w onshy

NDSMC studen t re la tions and soc ial24-hour space T hese a re the conshycerns th a t The Observer decided w ere m ost p ress ing to the s tuden t body here a t Notre Dame and upon which they based the ir views with regards the upcom ing election Excuse me bu t w hen exactly did I get to be so vapid
My apologies if I am completely w rong in this (and I sincerely hope tha t 1 am not) but I refuse to believe th a t the Notre Dame s tuden t body is so self-centered Yes I do realize th a t th e re a rc p roblem s su rround ing all these issues I have spen t as m uch time as anyone else complaining about parie tals or abou t football tickets But I think these a re far from being the most im portan t issues here In addition the problem with trying to address things like parie ta ls is th a t they will probably continue to exist year af te r y ear and all these ldquosolutionsrdquo w o n rsquot really do much of anything In light of this m aybe the average Notre Dame s tu d en t would like to thinkabou t la rge r issues
Here Irsquom afraid th a t my personal feelings abou t this election are going to in trude but so be it The biggest p roblem I see a round here is tha t Notre Dame seem s to have lost its sense of community One of the things th a t really a t t rac ted me to this school w as th a t it w as supposed to be like a family a Notre Dame Family (as they say every w eek a t Mass) But w hat kind of family excludes so m any of its family m em bers
W hat I am getting a t he re is th a t too m uch of the time we complain abou t our own m inor problem s and think of w h a t would m ake us happy while ignoring those of som eone who m ight have m ore serious problems 1 believe th a t m any of the cand ida tes fall prey to this mentality For e x a m shyple the re a re many of us who a r e n rsquot Catholic yet it is suggested tha t m ore s tuden t body m asses would som ehow help s t reng then our com m unishyty Or w ha t abou t the problem s with race and gende r rela tions th a t divide us (and yes they do exist mdash why else would we have offices for dealing with these problems) Why a rc these issues not considered in your evalushyation of the candida tes
This having been said w ha t abou t the fact th a t we are pa r t ol a larger community a com munity th a t we largely ignore Did you ever w onder why most of South Bend has signs up for Ind iana Basketball but not tor Notre Dame We h ere on cam pus tend to be a bit full of ourselves (with good reason mdash it is Notre Dame af te r all) and as a result we m is trea t the community th a t has to deal with us This bond with the people of South Bend is som ething th a t I feel needs to be re-estab lished and this can only be accomplished th rough in teracting with the people of South Bend andgiving back to them bdquo
For me the only ticket th a t ca res abou t such issues is D em etra Smith and Yogeld Andre The O bserverrsquos coverage of the election dismisses their platform because it doesnrsquot ca te r to ldquoissues of b ro ad e r appeal to s tu shyden ts rdquo But so w ha t if they d o n rsquot talk abou t things like F o u n d errsquos DayHow many of us really w en t to tha t anyw ay P erhaps they feel as I do th a t the re a re la rge r issues a t s take than w h e th e r my life he re is as easy and ca refree as possible They w an t to push me to be a more cai ing p e r shyson and a be t te r p a r t of this community They w an t to m ake su re tha t our Notre Dame experience is som eth ing th a t we can be proud of
We a re blessed to be he re a t Notre Dame bu t I think th a t making the m ost o u r years he re depends on m ore th a n w h e th e r parie ta ls a re abolshyished or not P erhaps I am being too naive in my idea of w ha t s tuden ts he re will ca re about I guess this election will prove m e right or wrongBut if you think itrsquos abou t time for s tu d e n t governm en t to lead us som eshyw here for a change vote for Smith and Andre on Monday

XFL
Ted Fox
Fox S p o r ts Almost
The XFL m anI don rsquot know w ho 1 w as ta lk shy
ing to w hen I m u tte red th a t in the direction of my com puter 10 seconds ago b u t it does sum up the feelshyings of a sports fan trying to figure out w ha t to m ake of this new football league
There have been two weeks of XFL action now com shyplete with everyshybodyrsquos favorite WWF play-by- play voice Jim Ross yelling abou t som e ldquohellaciousrdquo hits and Irsquom wondering
Are you setting your VCR to tape the Chicago Enforcers gam e yet Are you m aking plans to road tr ip down to Orlando and catch the 2-0 Rage in action
Maybe you are m aybe you a r e n rsquot but I have formed a coushyple of my own opinions so far
First w h a t rsquos good abou t the new league it gives players coaches t ra in e rs and anyone else associa ted with football team s who hav e n rsquot m a d e it in the NFL a chance to keep playshying For them the XFL is a way to stay in professional football and maybe even improve their chances of one day m aking it to or for some back to the NFL
And right ab o u t here my list of w ha t I like s ta r ts to ru n p re t shyty thin
Irsquom not going to lie and say tha t w atching scantily clad cheer leaders doesn rsquot have a certa in am oun t of appeal
However th a t rsquos one of this leaguersquos biggest problems Every time the c a m e ra leaves
the perspective of the lacrosse he lm et-w ear ing field pho tog ra shyp h e r and ven tu res to the som eshyw h a t uninhibited cheer ing secshytion football ceases to be the focus of the broadcast
Sex appeal takes overEven som e of the on-field
ru les leave me asking ldquoW hyrdquoTake the ldquoDash for the Ballrdquo
which has taken the place of the coin toss to de term ine posshysession Matt Duda a w ri te r on XFLcom says it rdquo condenses all the a t tr ibu tes th a t m ake football the g rea tes t of A m er ica rsquos sports into four testosterone-fil led secondsrdquo
Basically both players s ta r t side-by-side 20 yards away from the ball the re feree tells th e m w hen to go and the guy who com es up with the ball wins
Sound a little dangerous Yeah but d o n rsquot w orry th e re rsquos only been one se p a ra te d shoulshyd e r so far Before the gam e even sta rts
Besides isnrsquot th a t a small pr ice to pay to get back to the glory days of sm ash m outh footshyball Back w hen Vince Lom bardi would pick his fastest p layer to go tear ing af ter the _ ball p laced a t L am b eau rsquos 50 N d o n rsquot you r e m e m b e r those days
Neither do IIn all fairness to the new
league I realize I could be com shypletely off the XFL black and red ball I took a leisurely Sunday walk a round my dorm and asked som eone a lot m ore in touch with football th a n me Notre Dame jun io r long s n a p shyp e r J o h n Crowther w ha t he though t of Saturday n igh trsquos new est ra tings contender
ldquoI like to watch football so I kind of like itrdquo Crow ther said ldquoBut they try to be too flashy alm ost too m uch like wrestling I guess th a t rsquos probably their point The only th ing th a t I really like th a t rsquos different than the NFL is w hen they do the

opening coin toss rdquoDamaging testimony from an
exper t witness Irsquom still not a big fan of the dash though maybe because Irsquod be grabbing m ore tu r f with my helm et than ball with my hands
Furthe rm ore Irsquom still not quite su re why the governor of Minnesota is trying to give me analysis Irsquom not su re why real football involves putting nickshyn am es like ldquoE-Ruptrdquo on the back of your je rsey or having the announcers try to convince us ju s t how legitimate the league is
W hat we have m aybe for the first time in sports history is a league th a t w as crea ted for TV This isnrsquot a struggling football league or even a prosperous one looking to gain exposure by getting TV coverage And w e rsquod
be living som ew here outside of Candy Land if we d idnrsquot notice the increasing com m ercia lizashytion of all sports including the NFL (Crsquomon mdash the ldquoMTV Presen ts the E-Trade Super Bowl Halftime Showrdquo)
But the XFL itself not ju s t its advertising cam paign is a m a r shyketing ploy an at titude com shyplete with sex appeal violence fireworks ro tat ing ca m e ra angles and smoke
Football is m erely the m eans to deliver th a t WWF image If bowling could have worked w e rsquod probably be w atch ing the XBL right now as guys rolled some hellacious strikes in the t rue tradition of sm a sh m outh sports
Maybe the re is some hope Mike Celizic a contribu tor to MSNBCcom noted how the
footballXFL seem ed to violate some of its cha rge in week two devotshying m ore of its time to the gam e and less to the cheer leaders Maybe these gam es could a c tu shyally be abou t football eventually and not NBC ratings on Satu rday nights
Like Crow ther told me ldquoIf som eone said you could go and play [in the XFL] Irsquod probably go play because itrsquos basically like football When you get in the gam e it pretty m uch looks the s a m e rdquo
But if it becom es abou t footshyball will people still watch W hen yoursquore c rea ted for TV you b e t te r hope so

Get a Life
Fate is all fine and dandy No one is discounting fate Anyone whorsquos ever read ldquoOedipus Rex knows not to mess with fate your eyes get gouged out you are tormented Itrsquos not a good idea to mess with fate my friendBut fate is a tricky business you can rsquot take it lightly but on the o ther hand yoursquove got to leave room somewhere for free will
You can never be certain who your soul mate is in advance you know You can rsquot just sit back and expect soul mates to do everyshything for you You have got to be actively involved in the formation of your own life however it is fated to go Yoursquove got to say things like ldquoYou stay alive I will find yourdquo or do things tha t make your soul m ate say ldquoYou had me at hello rdquo or when asked yoursquove got to say your soul m ate is ldquoworth dying forrdquo
Now itrsquos the Valentinersquos Day time of year everybodyrsquos getting all mushy again from last Valentinersquos Day time which is completely wonderful It really is But strange a t the sam e time because how can you be mushy a t the exact sam e time every year
Anyhow about fate itrsquos a dangerous thing and some people are sadly conshyfused about w hat fate actually means Fate means tha t if you do the thing you a re fated to do you have a hundred p e r shycent probability tha t tha t thing will play out the way it is fated Fate does not m ean that if you sit in your room all day playing video games your life is still fated to be highly exciting When yoursquore passive then yoursquore not active and when you are not active you can rsquot be said to be doing something can you
If you are fated to be president but you never run for the election you have just used your free will to negate your desshytiny If you never give blood or help your fellow citizens in some way you can rsquot really say you a re pro-hum an beings
Now some people really are not pro- people and they show it by the am ount of time and money they give to more furry more leggy creatures This is not to say tha t it is right or wrong to be pro-human but if one is destined to be for people and not against them he or she ought to do something for them Something like givshying blood
At this time of month for goodness sakes itrsquos perfect Blood ie hea r t ie Valentinersquos Day On top of such a close connection February has been designatshy
ed American h ea r t m onth so along with giving your loved one a dozen red roses (a dozen roses always makes a nice V- day gift) why not donate a p int of the real red stuff
Now being tha t itrsquos the Valentinersquos Day time of year the personal aspec t of fate must take cen te r stage One m ore time I will go over this fate business If it is Valentinersquos Day and you think you are fated to have a wonderful evening with the person of your dreams but you never call tha t person if you never do anything for tha t person all I have to say is good luck because you will need it On the other hand if it is Valentinersquos Day and you think you are forever destined to be alone on this day o rsquo love bu t you go to a party anyway or finally send a card to tha t special ldquofriendrdquo your chances of being alone forever a re not so good
Some say there is no escaping destiny bu t I think th a t sometimes it is easy to escape your destiny especially if you donrsquot do anything about it

Defending Notre Dame athletesThe in troduction to Peyton Bergrsquos interview of Chris Zorich

And w h a t does he m ean by routine He seem s to be saying th a t these ath le tes (whoever they are) a re individually fre shy
quently in trouble with the law Does h e have any idea how m any ath le tes th e re a re in the w orld Even limiting h imself to the NFL NBA NHL and Major League Baseball Mr Berg c a n rsquot be saying th a t all of those guys a re a bunch of recidivist criminals can he
Or does he m e an to say ldquoIn an age w h ere the headlines routinely fea tu re celebrity a th le tes in t roub le with the law Zorich instead rdquo Such a s ta te m e n t would m ake a lot m ore sense to m e and would be fa irer to Mr Zorichrsquos team m ates and the m any o ther a th le tes in the world very few of whom m ake the headlines and very few of w hom a re criminals

Wednesday is Valentinersquos Day Irsquom already d read ing it
The other 11 12 m onths of the year a dozen roses go for less than $20 Now Irsquoll be lucky to find them for less than $30 and double or even triple that if I w an t them delivered Then I have to buy a card The real nice ones gold- plated with fancy letshytering and a really romantic poem inside which can run up to six dollars For one card T h a t s a lot m ore than the cards I usually get which fea ture some crude cartoon and usually an even c ruder joke involving som e disgusting bodishyly function But a t least those a re funny good Valentinersquos Day ca rds a r e n rsquot even funny at all
And after Irsquove pu rchased those I need to get a hear t-shaped box of can dies a stuffed teddy bear a botshytle of massage oil som e a r o shymatic candles som e jewelry and a bottle of wine and then before 1 know it Irsquove got more gifts than I can hold and a m axed-out credit card
But th a trsquos not the problem The p robshylem is I have no one to buy them for
I wouldnrsquot ordishynarily care mdash I donrsquot mind being single I don t have time around classes and everything else I do to have a se r ishyous relationship and I donrsquot have the money to buy nice things or go to d inner at any shywhere more expensive than the dining hall(ldquoYou w an t cheese on your WhopperI donrsquot have tha t kind of moneyrsquorsquo)
But being alone on Valentinersquos Day is ju s t unfair Every o ther commercial on televishysion has som ething to do with the holiday Give these (lowers to show how much you love someoneBuy this Hallmark card to show how much you love som eshyone Gel this expensive necklace to show how m uch you love someone If you don rsquot love som eone buy stuff and maybe som eone might love you
1 don t mind the b a r ra g e of com m erc ia lshyism I love splurging and being romantic Ask my last girlfriend I bought her so many things I had to sell one of my kidshyneys She had s ta r ted a small teddy bea r collection I singlehandedly tu rned it into the Teddy Bear Smithsonian She could have m ade a d ress out of the petals from all of the roses I gave her (Donrsquot think tha t idea never crossed my mind) I had to siphon gas to m ake it back to South Bend
But w hen yoursquore not seeing anyone Valentinersquos gifts a re a tad inappropr ia te ldquoHi I sit behind you in theology and uh h e re rsquos some roses and som e candies and mdash oh here look Hallm ark teddy bea rs tha t kiss magnetically SMOOCH You w a n n a go
out with me ton igh trdquo Meanwhile h e r psyshycho r a d a r is sc ream ing red alert
When yoursquore single and donrsquot w an t to be on Valentinersquos Day it seem s like everyone you know has somebody My best friend is m arr ied My ex is practically engaged My twice-divorced fa ther is living with som eshyone My sis ter has an In terne t relationship Even my dog has a ldquospecial friendrdquo I sw ear Cupid is laughing a t me behind my back You think Irsquom joking I got an e-mail from a female who said she w anted to get to know me After I rifled off an in terested response she sen t me an invitation to see h e r hom epage at lookatm eiam nakedcom ldquoHa ha Mike Irsquom shooting everyone else with my a r ro w s of love You get a knife in the back and a kick in the rdquo Okay so maybe th a t rsquos a bit too over-the-top
Everyone tells me th a t 1 shou ldn rsquot worry abou t long-term relationships right now Of course theyrsquore right but 1 c a n rsquot help w onshy

NDSMC studen t re la tions and soc ial24-hour space T hese a re the conshycerns th a t The Observer decided w ere m ost p ress ing to the s tuden t body here a t Notre Dame and upon which they based the ir views with regards the upcom ing election Excuse me bu t w hen exactly did I get to be so vapid
My apologies if I am completely w rong in this (and I sincerely hope tha t 1 am not) but I refuse to believe th a t the Notre Dame s tuden t body is so self-centered Yes I do realize th a t th e re a rc p roblem s su rround ing all these issues I have spen t as m uch time as anyone else complaining about parie tals or abou t football tickets But I think these a re far from being the most im portan t issues here In addition the problem with trying to address things like parie ta ls is th a t they will probably continue to exist year af te r y ear and all these ldquosolutionsrdquo w o n rsquot really do much of anything In light of this m aybe the average Notre Dame s tu d en t would like to thinkabou t la rge r issues
Here Irsquom afraid th a t my personal feelings abou t this election are going to in trude but so be it The biggest p roblem I see a round here is tha t Notre Dame seem s to have lost its sense of community One of the things th a t really a t t rac ted me to this school w as th a t it w as supposed to be like a family a Notre Dame Family (as they say every w eek a t Mass) But w hat kind of family excludes so m any of its family m em bers
W hat I am getting a t he re is th a t too m uch of the time we complain abou t our own m inor problem s and think of w h a t would m ake us happy while ignoring those of som eone who m ight have m ore serious problems 1 believe th a t m any of the cand ida tes fall prey to this mentality For e x a m shyple the re a re many of us who a r e n rsquot Catholic yet it is suggested tha t m ore s tuden t body m asses would som ehow help s t reng then our com m unishyty Or w ha t abou t the problem s with race and gende r rela tions th a t divide us (and yes they do exist mdash why else would we have offices for dealing with these problems) Why a rc these issues not considered in your evalushyation of the candida tes
This having been said w ha t abou t the fact th a t we are pa r t ol a larger community a com munity th a t we largely ignore Did you ever w onder why most of South Bend has signs up for Ind iana Basketball but not tor Notre Dame We h ere on cam pus tend to be a bit full of ourselves (with good reason mdash it is Notre Dame af te r all) and as a result we m is trea t the community th a t has to deal with us This bond with the people of South Bend is som ething th a t I feel needs to be re-estab lished and this can only be accomplished th rough in teracting with the people of South Bend andgiving back to them bdquo
For me the only ticket th a t ca res abou t such issues is D em etra Smith and Yogeld Andre The O bserverrsquos coverage of the election dismisses their platform because it doesnrsquot ca te r to ldquoissues of b ro ad e r appeal to s tu shyden ts rdquo But so w ha t if they d o n rsquot talk abou t things like F o u n d errsquos DayHow many of us really w en t to tha t anyw ay P erhaps they feel as I do th a t the re a re la rge r issues a t s take than w h e th e r my life he re is as easy and ca refree as possible They w an t to push me to be a more cai ing p e r shyson and a be t te r p a r t of this community They w an t to m ake su re tha t our Notre Dame experience is som eth ing th a t we can be proud of
We a re blessed to be he re a t Notre Dame bu t I think th a t making the m ost o u r years he re depends on m ore th a n w h e th e r parie ta ls a re abolshyished or not P erhaps I am being too naive in my idea of w ha t s tuden ts he re will ca re about I guess this election will prove m e right or wrongBut if you think itrsquos abou t time for s tu d e n t governm en t to lead us som eshyw here for a change vote for Smith and Andre on Monday

XFL
Ted Fox
Fox S p o r ts Almost
The XFL m anI don rsquot know w ho 1 w as ta lk shy
ing to w hen I m u tte red th a t in the direction of my com puter 10 seconds ago b u t it does sum up the feelshyings of a sports fan trying to figure out w ha t to m ake of this new football league
There have been two weeks of XFL action now com shyplete with everyshybodyrsquos favorite WWF play-by- play voice Jim Ross yelling abou t som e ldquohellaciousrdquo hits and Irsquom wondering
Are you setting your VCR to tape the Chicago Enforcers gam e yet Are you m aking plans to road tr ip down to Orlando and catch the 2-0 Rage in action
Maybe you are m aybe you a r e n rsquot but I have formed a coushyple of my own opinions so far
First w h a t rsquos good abou t the new league it gives players coaches t ra in e rs and anyone else associa ted with football team s who hav e n rsquot m a d e it in the NFL a chance to keep playshying For them the XFL is a way to stay in professional football and maybe even improve their chances of one day m aking it to or for some back to the NFL
And right ab o u t here my list of w ha t I like s ta r ts to ru n p re t shyty thin
Irsquom not going to lie and say tha t w atching scantily clad cheer leaders doesn rsquot have a certa in am oun t of appeal
However th a t rsquos one of this leaguersquos biggest problems Every time the c a m e ra leaves
the perspective of the lacrosse he lm et-w ear ing field pho tog ra shyp h e r and ven tu res to the som eshyw h a t uninhibited cheer ing secshytion football ceases to be the focus of the broadcast
Sex appeal takes overEven som e of the on-field
ru les leave me asking ldquoW hyrdquoTake the ldquoDash for the Ballrdquo
which has taken the place of the coin toss to de term ine posshysession Matt Duda a w ri te r on XFLcom says it rdquo condenses all the a t tr ibu tes th a t m ake football the g rea tes t of A m er ica rsquos sports into four testosterone-fil led secondsrdquo
Basically both players s ta r t side-by-side 20 yards away from the ball the re feree tells th e m w hen to go and the guy who com es up with the ball wins
Sound a little dangerous Yeah but d o n rsquot w orry th e re rsquos only been one se p a ra te d shoulshyd e r so far Before the gam e even sta rts
Besides isnrsquot th a t a small pr ice to pay to get back to the glory days of sm ash m outh footshyball Back w hen Vince Lom bardi would pick his fastest p layer to go tear ing af ter the _ ball p laced a t L am b eau rsquos 50 N d o n rsquot you r e m e m b e r those days
Neither do IIn all fairness to the new
league I realize I could be com shypletely off the XFL black and red ball I took a leisurely Sunday walk a round my dorm and asked som eone a lot m ore in touch with football th a n me Notre Dame jun io r long s n a p shyp e r J o h n Crowther w ha t he though t of Saturday n igh trsquos new est ra tings contender
ldquoI like to watch football so I kind of like itrdquo Crow ther said ldquoBut they try to be too flashy alm ost too m uch like wrestling I guess th a t rsquos probably their point The only th ing th a t I really like th a t rsquos different than the NFL is w hen they do the

opening coin toss rdquoDamaging testimony from an
exper t witness Irsquom still not a big fan of the dash though maybe because Irsquod be grabbing m ore tu r f with my helm et than ball with my hands
Furthe rm ore Irsquom still not quite su re why the governor of Minnesota is trying to give me analysis Irsquom not su re why real football involves putting nickshyn am es like ldquoE-Ruptrdquo on the back of your je rsey or having the announcers try to convince us ju s t how legitimate the league is
W hat we have m aybe for the first time in sports history is a league th a t w as crea ted for TV This isnrsquot a struggling football league or even a prosperous one looking to gain exposure by getting TV coverage And w e rsquod
be living som ew here outside of Candy Land if we d idnrsquot notice the increasing com m ercia lizashytion of all sports including the NFL (Crsquomon mdash the ldquoMTV Presen ts the E-Trade Super Bowl Halftime Showrdquo)
But the XFL itself not ju s t its advertising cam paign is a m a r shyketing ploy an at titude com shyplete with sex appeal violence fireworks ro tat ing ca m e ra angles and smoke
Football is m erely the m eans to deliver th a t WWF image If bowling could have worked w e rsquod probably be w atch ing the XBL right now as guys rolled some hellacious strikes in the t rue tradition of sm a sh m outh sports
Maybe the re is some hope Mike Celizic a contribu tor to MSNBCcom noted how the
footballXFL seem ed to violate some of its cha rge in week two devotshying m ore of its time to the gam e and less to the cheer leaders Maybe these gam es could a c tu shyally be abou t football eventually and not NBC ratings on Satu rday nights
Like Crow ther told me ldquoIf som eone said you could go and play [in the XFL] Irsquod probably go play because itrsquos basically like football When you get in the gam e it pretty m uch looks the s a m e rdquo
But if it becom es abou t footshyball will people still watch W hen yoursquore c rea ted for TV you b e t te r hope so

Give a valentinersquos gift from the heart

Get a Life
Fate is all fine and dandy No one is discounting fate Anyone whorsquos ever read ldquoOedipus Rex knows not to mess with fate your eyes get gouged out you are tormented Itrsquos not a good idea to mess with fate my friendBut fate is a tricky business you can rsquot take it lightly but on the o ther hand yoursquove got to leave room somewhere for free will
You can never be certain who your soul mate is in advance you know You can rsquot just sit back and expect soul mates to do everyshything for you You have got to be actively involved in the formation of your own life however it is fated to go Yoursquove got to say things like ldquoYou stay alive I will find yourdquo or do things tha t make your soul m ate say ldquoYou had me at hello rdquo or when asked yoursquove got to say your soul m ate is ldquoworth dying forrdquo
Now itrsquos the Valentinersquos Day time of year everybodyrsquos getting all mushy again from last Valentinersquos Day time which is completely wonderful It really is But strange a t the sam e time because how can you be mushy a t the exact sam e time every year
Anyhow about fate itrsquos a dangerous thing and some people are sadly conshyfused about w hat fate actually means Fate means tha t if you do the thing you a re fated to do you have a hundred p e r shycent probability tha t tha t thing will play out the way it is fated Fate does not m ean that if you sit in your room all day playing video games your life is still fated to be highly exciting When yoursquore passive then yoursquore not active and when you are not active you can rsquot be said to be doing something can you
If you are fated to be president but you never run for the election you have just used your free will to negate your desshytiny If you never give blood or help your fellow citizens in some way you can rsquot really say you a re pro-hum an beings
Now some people really are not pro- people and they show it by the am ount of time and money they give to more furry more leggy creatures This is not to say tha t it is right or wrong to be pro-human but if one is destined to be for people and not against them he or she ought to do something for them Something like givshying blood
At this time of month for goodness sakes itrsquos perfect Blood ie hea r t ie Valentinersquos Day On top of such a close connection February has been designatshy
ed American h ea r t m onth so along with giving your loved one a dozen red roses (a dozen roses always makes a nice V- day gift) why not donate a p int of the real red stuff
Now being tha t itrsquos the Valentinersquos Day time of year the personal aspec t of fate must take cen te r stage One m ore time I will go over this fate business If it is Valentinersquos Day and you think you are fated to have a wonderful evening with the person of your dreams but you never call tha t person if you never do anything for tha t person all I have to say is good luck because you will need it On the other hand if it is Valentinersquos Day and you think you are forever destined to be alone on this day o rsquo love bu t you go to a party anyway or finally send a card to tha t special ldquofriendrdquo your chances of being alone forever a re not so good
Some say there is no escaping destiny bu t I think th a t sometimes it is easy to escape your destiny especially if you donrsquot do anything about it

Defending Notre Dame athletesThe in troduction to Peyton Bergrsquos interview of Chris Zorich
in the Feb 9 Observer contains an unfortuna te and very sloppy assessm en t of ldquoath le tes rdquo While trying to credit Zorich for his ldquoChristopher Zorich Foundationrdquo Berg paints all a th shyletes with a wide brush saying th a t we a re ldquoin an age w here ath le tes routinely find themselves in trouble with the lawrdquo
Certainly he doesn rsquot intend all ath letes from pee wees to the pros does he So who does he m ean Professional a th shyletes College and professional Would th a t include o u r No1 ranked w o m en rsquos basketball team th a t lawless bunch Perhaps he only m eans ldquohigh profilerdquo ath le tes whose lives a re scrutin ized by the m edia because we the public pay an unhea lthy am oun t of a t tention to them as people
And w h a t does he m ean by routine He seem s to be saying th a t these ath le tes (whoever they are) a re individually fre shy
quently in trouble with the law Does h e have any idea how m any ath le tes th e re a re in the w orld Even limiting h imself to the NFL NBA NHL and Major League Baseball Mr Berg c a n rsquot be saying th a t all of those guys a re a bunch of recidivist criminals can he
Or does he m e an to say ldquoIn an age w h ere the headlines routinely fea tu re celebrity a th le tes in t roub le with the law Zorich instead rdquo Such a s ta te m e n t would m ake a lot m ore sense to m e and would be fa irer to Mr Zorichrsquos team m ates and the m any o ther a th le tes in the world very few of whom m ake the headlines and very few of w hom a re criminals

Wednesday is Valentinersquos Day Irsquom already d read ing it
The other 11 12 m onths of the year a dozen roses go for less than $20 Now Irsquoll be lucky to find them for less than $30 and double or even triple that if I w an t them delivered Then I have to buy a card The real nice ones gold- plated with fancy letshytering and a really romantic poem inside which can run up to six dollars For one card T h a t s a lot m ore than the cards I usually get which fea ture some crude cartoon and usually an even c ruder joke involving som e disgusting bodishyly function But a t least those a re funny good Valentinersquos Day ca rds a r e n rsquot even funny at all
And after Irsquove pu rchased those I need to get a hear t-shaped box of can dies a stuffed teddy bear a botshytle of massage oil som e a r o shymatic candles som e jewelry and a bottle of wine and then before 1 know it Irsquove got more gifts than I can hold and a m axed-out credit card
But th a trsquos not the problem The p robshylem is I have no one to buy them for
I wouldnrsquot ordishynarily care mdash I donrsquot mind being single I don t have time around classes and everything else I do to have a se r ishyous relationship and I donrsquot have the money to buy nice things or go to d inner at any shywhere more expensive than the dining hall(ldquoYou w an t cheese on your WhopperI donrsquot have tha t kind of moneyrsquorsquo)
But being alone on Valentinersquos Day is ju s t unfair Every o ther commercial on televishysion has som ething to do with the holiday Give these (lowers to show how much you love someoneBuy this Hallmark card to show how much you love som eshyone Gel this expensive necklace to show how m uch you love someone If you don rsquot love som eone buy stuff and maybe som eone might love you
1 don t mind the b a r ra g e of com m erc ia lshyism I love splurging and being romantic Ask my last girlfriend I bought her so many things I had to sell one of my kidshyneys She had s ta r ted a small teddy bea r collection I singlehandedly tu rned it into the Teddy Bear Smithsonian She could have m ade a d ress out of the petals from all of the roses I gave her (Donrsquot think tha t idea never crossed my mind) I had to siphon gas to m ake it back to South Bend
But w hen yoursquore not seeing anyone Valentinersquos gifts a re a tad inappropr ia te ldquoHi I sit behind you in theology and uh h e re rsquos some roses and som e candies and mdash oh here look Hallm ark teddy bea rs tha t kiss magnetically SMOOCH You w a n n a go
out with me ton igh trdquo Meanwhile h e r psyshycho r a d a r is sc ream ing red alert
When yoursquore single and donrsquot w an t to be on Valentinersquos Day it seem s like everyone you know has somebody My best friend is m arr ied My ex is practically engaged My twice-divorced fa ther is living with som eshyone My sis ter has an In terne t relationship Even my dog has a ldquospecial friendrdquo I sw ear Cupid is laughing a t me behind my back You think Irsquom joking I got an e-mail from a female who said she w anted to get to know me After I rifled off an in terested response she sen t me an invitation to see h e r hom epage at lookatm eiam nakedcom ldquoHa ha Mike Irsquom shooting everyone else with my a r ro w s of love You get a knife in the back and a kick in the rdquo Okay so maybe th a t rsquos a bit too over-the-top
Everyone tells me th a t 1 shou ldn rsquot worry abou t long-term relationships right now Of course theyrsquore right but 1 c a n rsquot help w onshy

tha t nobody loves a whiner Complaining is ju s t so un-sexy So
w h a t if Irsquoll be the only person alone on The Big V-Day or if Im not Irsquoll feel like the only person alone It m eans I d o n rsquot have to buy big expensive gifts and I can save enough money to possibly ask som eshyone for d inner a t TGI F ridayrsquos as opposed to Burger King It m eans I can buy a lot of little gifts for a lot of special people Cupid packs arrows Irsquom toting a shotgun mdash I can hit a w ider target

amprBroader issues need student recognitionThe Campus Life Council F o u n d errsquos Day football ticket distribution
NDSMC studen t re la tions and soc ial24-hour space T hese a re the conshycerns th a t The Observer decided w ere m ost p ress ing to the s tuden t body here a t Notre Dame and upon which they based the ir views with regards the upcom ing election Excuse me bu t w hen exactly did I get to be so vapid
My apologies if I am completely w rong in this (and I sincerely hope tha t 1 am not) but I refuse to believe th a t the Notre Dame s tuden t body is so self-centered Yes I do realize th a t th e re a rc p roblem s su rround ing all these issues I have spen t as m uch time as anyone else complaining about parie tals or abou t football tickets But I think these a re far from being the most im portan t issues here In addition the problem with trying to address things like parie ta ls is th a t they will probably continue to exist year af te r y ear and all these ldquosolutionsrdquo w o n rsquot really do much of anything In light of this m aybe the average Notre Dame s tu d en t would like to thinkabou t la rge r issues
Here Irsquom afraid th a t my personal feelings abou t this election are going to in trude but so be it The biggest p roblem I see a round here is tha t Notre Dame seem s to have lost its sense of community One of the things th a t really a t t rac ted me to this school w as th a t it w as supposed to be like a family a Notre Dame Family (as they say every w eek a t Mass) But w hat kind of family excludes so m any of its family m em bers
W hat I am getting a t he re is th a t too m uch of the time we complain abou t our own m inor problem s and think of w h a t would m ake us happy while ignoring those of som eone who m ight have m ore serious problems 1 believe th a t m any of the cand ida tes fall prey to this mentality For e x a m shyple the re a re many of us who a r e n rsquot Catholic yet it is suggested tha t m ore s tuden t body m asses would som ehow help s t reng then our com m unishyty Or w ha t abou t the problem s with race and gende r rela tions th a t divide us (and yes they do exist mdash why else would we have offices for dealing with these problems) Why a rc these issues not considered in your evalushyation of the candida tes
This having been said w ha t abou t the fact th a t we are pa r t ol a larger community a com munity th a t we largely ignore Did you ever w onder why most of South Bend has signs up for Ind iana Basketball but not tor Notre Dame We h ere on cam pus tend to be a bit full of ourselves (with good reason mdash it is Notre Dame af te r all) and as a result we m is trea t the community th a t has to deal with us This bond with the people of South Bend is som ething th a t I feel needs to be re-estab lished and this can only be accomplished th rough in teracting with the people of South Bend andgiving back to them bdquo
For me the only ticket th a t ca res abou t such issues is D em etra Smith and Yogeld Andre The O bserverrsquos coverage of the election dismisses their platform because it doesnrsquot ca te r to ldquoissues of b ro ad e r appeal to s tu shyden ts rdquo But so w ha t if they d o n rsquot talk abou t things like F o u n d errsquos DayHow many of us really w en t to tha t anyw ay P erhaps they feel as I do th a t the re a re la rge r issues a t s take than w h e th e r my life he re is as easy and ca refree as possible They w an t to push me to be a more cai ing p e r shyson and a be t te r p a r t of this community They w an t to m ake su re tha t our Notre Dame experience is som eth ing th a t we can be proud of
We a re blessed to be he re a t Notre Dame bu t I think th a t making the m ost o u r years he re depends on m ore th a n w h e th e r parie ta ls a re abolshyished or not P erhaps I am being too naive in my idea of w ha t s tuden ts he re will ca re about I guess this election will prove m e right or wrongBut if you think itrsquos abou t time for s tu d e n t governm en t to lead us som eshyw here for a change vote for Smith and Andre on Monday

Ted Fox
Fox S p o r ts Almost
The XFL m anI don rsquot know w ho 1 w as ta lk shy
ing to w hen I m u tte red th a t in the direction of my com puter 10 seconds ago b u t it does sum up the feelshyings of a sports fan trying to figure out w ha t to m ake of this new football league
There have been two weeks of XFL action now com shyplete with everyshybodyrsquos favorite WWF play-by- play voice Jim Ross yelling abou t som e ldquohellaciousrdquo hits and Irsquom wondering
Are you setting your VCR to tape the Chicago Enforcers gam e yet Are you m aking plans to road tr ip down to Orlando and catch the 2-0 Rage in action
Maybe you are m aybe you a r e n rsquot but I have formed a coushyple of my own opinions so far
First w h a t rsquos good abou t the new league it gives players coaches t ra in e rs and anyone else associa ted with football team s who hav e n rsquot m a d e it in the NFL a chance to keep playshying For them the XFL is a way to stay in professional football and maybe even improve their chances of one day m aking it to or for some back to the NFL
And right ab o u t here my list of w ha t I like s ta r ts to ru n p re t shyty thin
Irsquom not going to lie and say tha t w atching scantily clad cheer leaders doesn rsquot have a certa in am oun t of appeal
However th a t rsquos one of this leaguersquos biggest problems Every time the c a m e ra leaves
the perspective of the lacrosse he lm et-w ear ing field pho tog ra shyp h e r and ven tu res to the som eshyw h a t uninhibited cheer ing secshytion football ceases to be the focus of the broadcast
Sex appeal takes overEven som e of the on-field
ru les leave me asking ldquoW hyrdquoTake the ldquoDash for the Ballrdquo
which has taken the place of the coin toss to de term ine posshysession Matt Duda a w ri te r on XFLcom says it rdquo condenses all the a t tr ibu tes th a t m ake football the g rea tes t of A m er ica rsquos sports into four testosterone-fil led secondsrdquo
Basically both players s ta r t side-by-side 20 yards away from the ball the re feree tells th e m w hen to go and the guy who com es up with the ball wins
Sound a little dangerous Yeah but d o n rsquot w orry th e re rsquos only been one se p a ra te d shoulshyd e r so far Before the gam e even sta rts
Besides isnrsquot th a t a small pr ice to pay to get back to the glory days of sm ash m outh footshyball Back w hen Vince Lom bardi would pick his fastest p layer to go tear ing af ter the _ ball p laced a t L am b eau rsquos 50 N d o n rsquot you r e m e m b e r those days
Neither do IIn all fairness to the new
league I realize I could be com shypletely off the XFL black and red ball I took a leisurely Sunday walk a round my dorm and asked som eone a lot m ore in touch with football th a n me Notre Dame jun io r long s n a p shyp e r J o h n Crowther w ha t he though t of Saturday n igh trsquos new est ra tings contender
ldquoI like to watch football so I kind of like itrdquo Crow ther said ldquoBut they try to be too flashy alm ost too m uch like wrestling I guess th a t rsquos probably their point The only th ing th a t I really like th a t rsquos different than the NFL is w hen they do the

opening coin toss rdquoDamaging testimony from an
exper t witness Irsquom still not a big fan of the dash though maybe because Irsquod be grabbing m ore tu r f with my helm et than ball with my hands
Furthe rm ore Irsquom still not quite su re why the governor of Minnesota is trying to give me analysis Irsquom not su re why real football involves putting nickshyn am es like ldquoE-Ruptrdquo on the back of your je rsey or having the announcers try to convince us ju s t how legitimate the league is
W hat we have m aybe for the first time in sports history is a league th a t w as crea ted for TV This isnrsquot a struggling football league or even a prosperous one looking to gain exposure by getting TV coverage And w e rsquod
be living som ew here outside of Candy Land if we d idnrsquot notice the increasing com m ercia lizashytion of all sports including the NFL (Crsquomon mdash the ldquoMTV Presen ts the E-Trade Super Bowl Halftime Showrdquo)
But the XFL itself not ju s t its advertising cam paign is a m a r shyketing ploy an at titude com shyplete with sex appeal violence fireworks ro tat ing ca m e ra angles and smoke
Football is m erely the m eans to deliver th a t WWF image If bowling could have worked w e rsquod probably be w atch ing the XBL right now as guys rolled some hellacious strikes in the t rue tradition of sm a sh m outh sports
Maybe the re is some hope Mike Celizic a contribu tor to MSNBCcom noted how the
footballXFL seem ed to violate some of its cha rge in week two devotshying m ore of its time to the gam e and less to the cheer leaders Maybe these gam es could a c tu shyally be abou t football eventually and not NBC ratings on Satu rday nights
Like Crow ther told me ldquoIf som eone said you could go and play [in the XFL] Irsquod probably go play because itrsquos basically like football When you get in the gam e it pretty m uch looks the s a m e rdquo
But if it becom es abou t footshyball will people still watch W hen yoursquore c rea ted for TV you b e t te r hope so

The win came in the least likeshyly way

Wednesday is Valentinersquos Day Irsquom already d read ing it
The other 11 12 m onths of the year a dozen roses go for less than $20 Now Irsquoll be lucky to find them for less than $30 and double or even triple that if I w an t them delivered Then I have to buy a card The real nice ones gold- plated with fancy letshytering and a really romantic poem inside which can run up to six dollars For one card T h a t s a lot m ore than the cards I usually get which fea ture some crude cartoon and usually an even c ruder joke involving som e disgusting bodishyly function But a t least those a re funny good Valentinersquos Day ca rds a r e n rsquot even funny at all
And after Irsquove pu rchased those I need to get a hear t-shaped box of can dies a stuffed teddy bear a botshytle of massage oil som e a r o shymatic candles som e jewelry and a bottle of wine and then before 1 know it Irsquove got more gifts than I can hold and a m axed-out credit card
But th a trsquos not the problem The p robshylem is I have no one to buy them for
I wouldnrsquot ordishynarily care mdash I donrsquot mind being single I don t have time around classes and everything else I do to have a se r ishyous relationship and I donrsquot have the money to buy nice things or go to d inner at any shywhere more expensive than the dining hall(ldquoYou w an t cheese on your WhopperI donrsquot have tha t kind of moneyrsquorsquo)
But being alone on Valentinersquos Day is ju s t unfair Every o ther commercial on televishysion has som ething to do with the holiday Give these (lowers to show how much you love someoneBuy this Hallmark card to show how much you love som eshyone Gel this expensive necklace to show how m uch you love someone If you don rsquot love som eone buy stuff and maybe som eone might love you
1 don t mind the b a r ra g e of com m erc ia lshyism I love splurging and being romantic Ask my last girlfriend I bought her so many things I had to sell one of my kidshyneys She had s ta r ted a small teddy bea r collection I singlehandedly tu rned it into the Teddy Bear Smithsonian She could have m ade a d ress out of the petals from all of the roses I gave her (Donrsquot think tha t idea never crossed my mind) I had to siphon gas to m ake it back to South Bend
But w hen yoursquore not seeing anyone Valentinersquos gifts a re a tad inappropr ia te ldquoHi I sit behind you in theology and uh h e re rsquos some roses and som e candies and mdash oh here look Hallm ark teddy bea rs tha t kiss magnetically SMOOCH You w a n n a go
out with me ton igh trdquo Meanwhile h e r psyshycho r a d a r is sc ream ing red alert
When yoursquore single and donrsquot w an t to be on Valentinersquos Day it seem s like everyone you know has somebody My best friend is m arr ied My ex is practically engaged My twice-divorced fa ther is living with som eshyone My sis ter has an In terne t relationship Even my dog has a ldquospecial friendrdquo I sw ear Cupid is laughing a t me behind my back You think Irsquom joking I got an e-mail from a female who said she w anted to get to know me After I rifled off an in terested response she sen t me an invitation to see h e r hom epage at lookatm eiam nakedcom ldquoHa ha Mike Irsquom shooting everyone else with my a r ro w s of love You get a knife in the back and a kick in the rdquo Okay so maybe th a t rsquos a bit too over-the-top
Everyone tells me th a t 1 shou ldn rsquot worry abou t long-term relationships right now Of course theyrsquore right but 1 c a n rsquot help w onshy

Academyrdquo Scott Little reported ( t hat 23 of all Notre Dame stu-
r Q dents m arry o ther DomersV O j P erhaps th a t rsquos an exaggershy

and beauty of the cam pus Someone who knows how poor Irsquoll be after g raduation Someone who knows tha t S aturdays in au tum n a re off- limits to ex t ra c u r shyricular activities My ex w an ted me to skip the USC gam e in 1999 mdash which tu rned out to be a thrilling com eshyback victory mdash to come up and see her a day early Then
af te r we broke up she w anted me to blow the

Her fa the r w as an a lum shynus so she should have

tha t nobody loves a whiner Complaining is ju s t so un-sexy So
w h a t if Irsquoll be the only person alone on The Big V-Day or if Im not Irsquoll feel like the only person alone It m eans I d o n rsquot have to buy big expensive gifts and I can save enough money to possibly ask som eshyone for d inner a t TGI F ridayrsquos as opposed to Burger King It m eans I can buy a lot of little gifts for a lot of special people Cupid packs arrows Irsquom toting a shotgun mdash I can hit a w ider target

NDSMC studen t re la tions and soc ial24-hour space T hese a re the conshycerns th a t The Observer decided w ere m ost p ress ing to the s tuden t body here a t Notre Dame and upon which they based the ir views with regards the upcom ing election Excuse me bu t w hen exactly did I get to be so vapid
My apologies if I am completely w rong in this (and I sincerely hope tha t 1 am not) but I refuse to believe th a t the Notre Dame s tuden t body is so self-centered Yes I do realize th a t th e re a rc p roblem s su rround ing all these issues I have spen t as m uch time as anyone else complaining about parie tals or abou t football tickets But I think these a re far from being the most im portan t issues here In addition the problem with trying to address things like parie ta ls is th a t they will probably continue to exist year af te r y ear and all these ldquosolutionsrdquo w o n rsquot really do much of anything In light of this m aybe the average Notre Dame s tu d en t would like to thinkabou t la rge r issues
Here Irsquom afraid th a t my personal feelings abou t this election are going to in trude but so be it The biggest p roblem I see a round here is tha t Notre Dame seem s to have lost its sense of community One of the things th a t really a t t rac ted me to this school w as th a t it w as supposed to be like a family a Notre Dame Family (as they say every w eek a t Mass) But w hat kind of family excludes so m any of its family m em bers
W hat I am getting a t he re is th a t too m uch of the time we complain abou t our own m inor problem s and think of w h a t would m ake us happy while ignoring those of som eone who m ight have m ore serious problems 1 believe th a t m any of the cand ida tes fall prey to this mentality For e x a m shyple the re a re many of us who a r e n rsquot Catholic yet it is suggested tha t m ore s tuden t body m asses would som ehow help s t reng then our com m unishyty Or w ha t abou t the problem s with race and gende r rela tions th a t divide us (and yes they do exist mdash why else would we have offices for dealing with these problems) Why a rc these issues not considered in your evalushyation of the candida tes
This having been said w ha t abou t the fact th a t we are pa r t ol a larger community a com munity th a t we largely ignore Did you ever w onder why most of South Bend has signs up for Ind iana Basketball but not tor Notre Dame We h ere on cam pus tend to be a bit full of ourselves (with good reason mdash it is Notre Dame af te r all) and as a result we m is trea t the community th a t has to deal with us This bond with the people of South Bend is som ething th a t I feel needs to be re-estab lished and this can only be accomplished th rough in teracting with the people of South Bend andgiving back to them bdquo
For me the only ticket th a t ca res abou t such issues is D em etra Smith and Yogeld Andre The O bserverrsquos coverage of the election dismisses their platform because it doesnrsquot ca te r to ldquoissues of b ro ad e r appeal to s tu shyden ts rdquo But so w ha t if they d o n rsquot talk abou t things like F o u n d errsquos DayHow many of us really w en t to tha t anyw ay P erhaps they feel as I do th a t the re a re la rge r issues a t s take than w h e th e r my life he re is as easy and ca refree as possible They w an t to push me to be a more cai ing p e r shyson and a be t te r p a r t of this community They w an t to m ake su re tha t our Notre Dame experience is som eth ing th a t we can be proud of
We a re blessed to be he re a t Notre Dame bu t I think th a t making the m ost o u r years he re depends on m ore th a n w h e th e r parie ta ls a re abolshyished or not P erhaps I am being too naive in my idea of w ha t s tuden ts he re will ca re about I guess this election will prove m e right or wrongBut if you think itrsquos abou t time for s tu d e n t governm en t to lead us som eshyw here for a change vote for Smith and Andre on Monday

XFL
Ted Fox
Fox S p o r ts Almost
The XFL m anI don rsquot know w ho 1 w as ta lk shy
ing to w hen I m u tte red th a t in the direction of my com puter 10 seconds ago b u t it does sum up the feelshyings of a sports fan trying to figure out w ha t to m ake of this new football league
There have been two weeks of XFL action now com shyplete with everyshybodyrsquos favorite WWF play-by- play voice Jim Ross yelling abou t som e ldquohellaciousrdquo hits and Irsquom wondering
Are you setting your VCR to tape the Chicago Enforcers gam e yet Are you m aking plans to road tr ip down to Orlando and catch the 2-0 Rage in action
Maybe you are m aybe you a r e n rsquot but I have formed a coushyple of my own opinions so far
First w h a t rsquos good abou t the new league it gives players coaches t ra in e rs and anyone else associa ted with football team s who hav e n rsquot m a d e it in the NFL a chance to keep playshying For them the XFL is a way to stay in professional football and maybe even improve their chances of one day m aking it to or for some back to the NFL
And right ab o u t here my list of w ha t I like s ta r ts to ru n p re t shyty thin
Irsquom not going to lie and say tha t w atching scantily clad cheer leaders doesn rsquot have a certa in am oun t of appeal
However th a t rsquos one of this leaguersquos biggest problems Every time the c a m e ra leaves
the perspective of the lacrosse he lm et-w ear ing field pho tog ra shyp h e r and ven tu res to the som eshyw h a t uninhibited cheer ing secshytion football ceases to be the focus of the broadcast
Sex appeal takes overEven som e of the on-field
ru les leave me asking ldquoW hyrdquoTake the ldquoDash for the Ballrdquo
which has taken the place of the coin toss to de term ine posshysession Matt Duda a w ri te r on XFLcom says it rdquo condenses all the a t tr ibu tes th a t m ake football the g rea tes t of A m er ica rsquos sports into four testosterone-fil led secondsrdquo
Basically both players s ta r t side-by-side 20 yards away from the ball the re feree tells th e m w hen to go and the guy who com es up with the ball wins
Sound a little dangerous Yeah but d o n rsquot w orry th e re rsquos only been one se p a ra te d shoulshyd e r so far Before the gam e even sta rts
Besides isnrsquot th a t a small pr ice to pay to get back to the glory days of sm ash m outh footshyball Back w hen Vince Lom bardi would pick his fastest p layer to go tear ing af ter the _ ball p laced a t L am b eau rsquos 50 N d o n rsquot you r e m e m b e r those days
Neither do IIn all fairness to the new
league I realize I could be com shypletely off the XFL black and red ball I took a leisurely Sunday walk a round my dorm and asked som eone a lot m ore in touch with football th a n me Notre Dame jun io r long s n a p shyp e r J o h n Crowther w ha t he though t of Saturday n igh trsquos new est ra tings contender
ldquoI like to watch football so I kind of like itrdquo Crow ther said ldquoBut they try to be too flashy alm ost too m uch like wrestling I guess th a t rsquos probably their point The only th ing th a t I really like th a t rsquos different than the NFL is w hen they do the

opening coin toss rdquoDamaging testimony from an
exper t witness Irsquom still not a big fan of the dash though maybe because Irsquod be grabbing m ore tu r f with my helm et than ball with my hands
Furthe rm ore Irsquom still not quite su re why the governor of Minnesota is trying to give me analysis Irsquom not su re why real football involves putting nickshyn am es like ldquoE-Ruptrdquo on the back of your je rsey or having the announcers try to convince us ju s t how legitimate the league is
W hat we have m aybe for the first time in sports history is a league th a t w as crea ted for TV This isnrsquot a struggling football league or even a prosperous one looking to gain exposure by getting TV coverage And w e rsquod
be living som ew here outside of Candy Land if we d idnrsquot notice the increasing com m ercia lizashytion of all sports including the NFL (Crsquomon mdash the ldquoMTV Presen ts the E-Trade Super Bowl Halftime Showrdquo)
But the XFL itself not ju s t its advertising cam paign is a m a r shyketing ploy an at titude com shyplete with sex appeal violence fireworks ro tat ing ca m e ra angles and smoke
Football is m erely the m eans to deliver th a t WWF image If bowling could have worked w e rsquod probably be w atch ing the XBL right now as guys rolled some hellacious strikes in the t rue tradition of sm a sh m outh sports
Maybe the re is some hope Mike Celizic a contribu tor to MSNBCcom noted how the
footballXFL seem ed to violate some of its cha rge in week two devotshying m ore of its time to the gam e and less to the cheer leaders Maybe these gam es could a c tu shyally be abou t football eventually and not NBC ratings on Satu rday nights
Like Crow ther told me ldquoIf som eone said you could go and play [in the XFL] Irsquod probably go play because itrsquos basically like football When you get in the gam e it pretty m uch looks the s a m e rdquo
But if it becom es abou t footshyball will people still watch W hen yoursquore c rea ted for TV you b e t te r hope so

XFL
Ted Fox
Fox S p o r ts Almost
The XFL m anI don rsquot know w ho 1 w as ta lk shy
ing to w hen I m u tte red th a t in the direction of my com puter 10 seconds ago b u t it does sum up the feelshyings of a sports fan trying to figure out w ha t to m ake of this new football league
There have been two weeks of XFL action now com shyplete with everyshybodyrsquos favorite WWF play-by- play voice Jim Ross yelling abou t som e ldquohellaciousrdquo hits and Irsquom wondering
Are you setting your VCR to tape the Chicago Enforcers gam e yet Are you m aking plans to road tr ip down to Orlando and catch the 2-0 Rage in action
Maybe you are m aybe you a r e n rsquot but I have formed a coushyple of my own opinions so far
First w h a t rsquos good abou t the new league it gives players coaches t ra in e rs and anyone else associa ted with football team s who hav e n rsquot m a d e it in the NFL a chance to keep playshying For them the XFL is a way to stay in professional football and maybe even improve their chances of one day m aking it to or for some back to the NFL
And right ab o u t here my list of w ha t I like s ta r ts to ru n p re t shyty thin
Irsquom not going to lie and say tha t w atching scantily clad cheer leaders doesn rsquot have a certa in am oun t of appeal
However th a t rsquos one of this leaguersquos biggest problems Every time the c a m e ra leaves
the perspective of the lacrosse he lm et-w ear ing field pho tog ra shyp h e r and ven tu res to the som eshyw h a t uninhibited cheer ing secshytion football ceases to be the focus of the broadcast
Sex appeal takes overEven som e of the on-field
ru les leave me asking ldquoW hyrdquoTake the ldquoDash for the Ballrdquo
which has taken the place of the coin toss to de term ine posshysession Matt Duda a w ri te r on XFLcom says it rdquo condenses all the a t tr ibu tes th a t m ake football the g rea tes t of A m er ica rsquos sports into four testosterone-fil led secondsrdquo
Basically both players s ta r t side-by-side 20 yards away from the ball the re feree tells th e m w hen to go and the guy who com es up with the ball wins
Sound a little dangerous Yeah but d o n rsquot w orry th e re rsquos only been one se p a ra te d shoulshyd e r so far Before the gam e even sta rts
Besides isnrsquot th a t a small pr ice to pay to get back to the glory days of sm ash m outh footshyball Back w hen Vince Lom bardi would pick his fastest p layer to go tear ing af ter the _ ball p laced a t L am b eau rsquos 50 N d o n rsquot you r e m e m b e r those days
Neither do IIn all fairness to the new
league I realize I could be com shypletely off the XFL black and red ball I took a leisurely Sunday walk a round my dorm and asked som eone a lot m ore in touch with football th a n me Notre Dame jun io r long s n a p shyp e r J o h n Crowther w ha t he though t of Saturday n igh trsquos new est ra tings contender
ldquoI like to watch football so I kind of like itrdquo Crow ther said ldquoBut they try to be too flashy alm ost too m uch like wrestling I guess th a t rsquos probably their point The only th ing th a t I really like th a t rsquos different than the NFL is w hen they do the

opening coin toss rdquoDamaging testimony from an
exper t witness Irsquom still not a big fan of the dash though maybe because Irsquod be grabbing m ore tu r f with my helm et than ball with my hands
Furthe rm ore Irsquom still not quite su re why the governor of Minnesota is trying to give me analysis Irsquom not su re why real football involves putting nickshyn am es like ldquoE-Ruptrdquo on the back of your je rsey or having the announcers try to convince us ju s t how legitimate the league is
W hat we have m aybe for the first time in sports history is a league th a t w as crea ted for TV This isnrsquot a struggling football league or even a prosperous one looking to gain exposure by getting TV coverage And w e rsquod
be living som ew here outside of Candy Land if we d idnrsquot notice the increasing com m ercia lizashytion of all sports including the NFL (Crsquomon mdash the ldquoMTV Presen ts the E-Trade Super Bowl Halftime Showrdquo)
But the XFL itself not ju s t its advertising cam paign is a m a r shyketing ploy an at titude com shyplete with sex appeal violence fireworks ro tat ing ca m e ra angles and smoke
Football is m erely the m eans to deliver th a t WWF image If bowling could have worked w e rsquod probably be w atch ing the XBL right now as guys rolled some hellacious strikes in the t rue tradition of sm a sh m outh sports
Maybe the re is some hope Mike Celizic a contribu tor to MSNBCcom noted how the
footballXFL seem ed to violate some of its cha rge in week two devotshying m ore of its time to the gam e and less to the cheer leaders Maybe these gam es could a c tu shyally be abou t football eventually and not NBC ratings on Satu rday nights
Like Crow ther told me ldquoIf som eone said you could go and play [in the XFL] Irsquod probably go play because itrsquos basically like football When you get in the gam e it pretty m uch looks the s a m e rdquo
But if it becom es abou t footshyball will people still watch W hen yoursquore c rea ted for TV you b e t te r hope so

Fox S p o r ts Almost
The XFL m anI don rsquot know w ho 1 w as ta lk shy
ing to w hen I m u tte red th a t in the direction of my com puter 10 seconds ago b u t it does sum up the feelshyings of a sports fan trying to figure out w ha t to m ake of this new football league
There have been two weeks of XFL action now com shyplete with everyshybodyrsquos favorite WWF play-by- play voice Jim Ross yelling abou t som e ldquohellaciousrdquo hits and Irsquom wondering
Are you setting your VCR to tape the Chicago Enforcers gam e yet Are you m aking plans to road tr ip down to Orlando and catch the 2-0 Rage in action
Maybe you are m aybe you a r e n rsquot but I have formed a coushyple of my own opinions so far
First w h a t rsquos good abou t the new league it gives players coaches t ra in e rs and anyone else associa ted with football team s who hav e n rsquot m a d e it in the NFL a chance to keep playshying For them the XFL is a way to stay in professional football and maybe even improve their chances of one day m aking it to or for some back to the NFL
And right ab o u t here my list of w ha t I like s ta r ts to ru n p re t shyty thin
Irsquom not going to lie and say tha t w atching scantily clad cheer leaders doesn rsquot have a certa in am oun t of appeal
However th a t rsquos one of this leaguersquos biggest problems Every time the c a m e ra leaves
the perspective of the lacrosse he lm et-w ear ing field pho tog ra shyp h e r and ven tu res to the som eshyw h a t uninhibited cheer ing secshytion football ceases to be the focus of the broadcast
Sex appeal takes overEven som e of the on-field
ru les leave me asking ldquoW hyrdquoTake the ldquoDash for the Ballrdquo
which has taken the place of the coin toss to de term ine posshysession Matt Duda a w ri te r on XFLcom says it rdquo condenses all the a t tr ibu tes th a t m ake football the g rea tes t of A m er ica rsquos sports into four testosterone-fil led secondsrdquo
Basically both players s ta r t side-by-side 20 yards away from the ball the re feree tells th e m w hen to go and the guy who com es up with the ball wins
Sound a little dangerous Yeah but d o n rsquot w orry th e re rsquos only been one se p a ra te d shoulshyd e r so far Before the gam e even sta rts
Besides isnrsquot th a t a small pr ice to pay to get back to the glory days of sm ash m outh footshyball Back w hen Vince Lom bardi would pick his fastest p layer to go tear ing af ter the _ ball p laced a t L am b eau rsquos 50 N d o n rsquot you r e m e m b e r those days
Neither do IIn all fairness to the new
league I realize I could be com shypletely off the XFL black and red ball I took a leisurely Sunday walk a round my dorm and asked som eone a lot m ore in touch with football th a n me Notre Dame jun io r long s n a p shyp e r J o h n Crowther w ha t he though t of Saturday n igh trsquos new est ra tings contender
ldquoI like to watch football so I kind of like itrdquo Crow ther said ldquoBut they try to be too flashy alm ost too m uch like wrestling I guess th a t rsquos probably their point The only th ing th a t I really like th a t rsquos different than the NFL is w hen they do the

opening coin toss rdquoDamaging testimony from an
exper t witness Irsquom still not a big fan of the dash though maybe because Irsquod be grabbing m ore tu r f with my helm et than ball with my hands
Furthe rm ore Irsquom still not quite su re why the governor of Minnesota is trying to give me analysis Irsquom not su re why real football involves putting nickshyn am es like ldquoE-Ruptrdquo on the back of your je rsey or having the announcers try to convince us ju s t how legitimate the league is
W hat we have m aybe for the first time in sports history is a league th a t w as crea ted for TV This isnrsquot a struggling football league or even a prosperous one looking to gain exposure by getting TV coverage And w e rsquod
be living som ew here outside of Candy Land if we d idnrsquot notice the increasing com m ercia lizashytion of all sports including the NFL (Crsquomon mdash the ldquoMTV Presen ts the E-Trade Super Bowl Halftime Showrdquo)
But the XFL itself not ju s t its advertising cam paign is a m a r shyketing ploy an at titude com shyplete with sex appeal violence fireworks ro tat ing ca m e ra angles and smoke
Football is m erely the m eans to deliver th a t WWF image If bowling could have worked w e rsquod probably be w atch ing the XBL right now as guys rolled some hellacious strikes in the t rue tradition of sm a sh m outh sports
Maybe the re is some hope Mike Celizic a contribu tor to MSNBCcom noted how the
footballXFL seem ed to violate some of its cha rge in week two devotshying m ore of its time to the gam e and less to the cheer leaders Maybe these gam es could a c tu shyally be abou t football eventually and not NBC ratings on Satu rday nights
Like Crow ther told me ldquoIf som eone said you could go and play [in the XFL] Irsquod probably go play because itrsquos basically like football When you get in the gam e it pretty m uch looks the s a m e rdquo
But if it becom es abou t footshyball will people still watch W hen yoursquore c rea ted for TV you b e t te r hope so

XFL
Ted Fox
Fox S p o r ts Almost
The XFL m anI don rsquot know w ho 1 w as ta lk shy
ing to w hen I m u tte red th a t in the direction of my com puter 10 seconds ago b u t it does sum up the feelshyings of a sports fan trying to figure out w ha t to m ake of this new football league
There have been two weeks of XFL action now com shyplete with everyshybodyrsquos favorite WWF play-by- play voice Jim Ross yelling abou t som e ldquohellaciousrdquo hits and Irsquom wondering
Are you setting your VCR to tape the Chicago Enforcers gam e yet Are you m aking plans to road tr ip down to Orlando and catch the 2-0 Rage in action
Maybe you are m aybe you a r e n rsquot but I have formed a coushyple of my own opinions so far
First w h a t rsquos good abou t the new league it gives players coaches t ra in e rs and anyone else associa ted with football team s who hav e n rsquot m a d e it in the NFL a chance to keep playshying For them the XFL is a way to stay in professional football and maybe even improve their chances of one day m aking it to or for some back to the NFL
And right ab o u t here my list of w ha t I like s ta r ts to ru n p re t shyty thin
Irsquom not going to lie and say tha t w atching scantily clad cheer leaders doesn rsquot have a certa in am oun t of appeal
However th a t rsquos one of this leaguersquos biggest problems Every time the c a m e ra leaves
the perspective of the lacrosse he lm et-w ear ing field pho tog ra shyp h e r and ven tu res to the som eshyw h a t uninhibited cheer ing secshytion football ceases to be the focus of the broadcast
Sex appeal takes overEven som e of the on-field
ru les leave me asking ldquoW hyrdquoTake the ldquoDash for the Ballrdquo
which has taken the place of the coin toss to de term ine posshysession Matt Duda a w ri te r on XFLcom says it rdquo condenses all the a t tr ibu tes th a t m ake football the g rea tes t of A m er ica rsquos sports into four testosterone-fil led secondsrdquo
Basically both players s ta r t side-by-side 20 yards away from the ball the re feree tells th e m w hen to go and the guy who com es up with the ball wins
Sound a little dangerous Yeah but d o n rsquot w orry th e re rsquos only been one se p a ra te d shoulshyd e r so far Before the gam e even sta rts

Furthe rm ore Irsquom still not quite su re why the governor of Minnesota is trying to give me analysis Irsquom not su re why real football involves putting nickshyn am es like ldquoE-Ruptrdquo on the back of your je rsey or having the announcers try to convince us ju s t how legitimate the league is
W hat we have m aybe for the first time in sports history is a league th a t w as crea ted for TV This isnrsquot a struggling football league or even a prosperous one looking to gain exposure by getting TV coverage And w e rsquod
be living som ew here outside of Candy Land if we d idnrsquot notice the increasing com m ercia lizashytion of all sports including the NFL (Crsquomon mdash the ldquoMTV Presen ts the E-Trade Super Bowl Halftime Showrdquo)
But the XFL itself not ju s t its advertising cam paign is a m a r shyketing ploy an at titude com shyplete with sex appeal violence fireworks ro tat ing ca m e ra angles and smoke
Football is m erely the m eans to deliver th a t WWF image If bowling could have worked w e rsquod probably be w atch ing the XBL right now as guys rolled some hellacious strikes in the t rue tradition of sm a sh m outh sports
Maybe the re is some hope Mike Celizic a contribu tor to MSNBCcom noted how the
footballXFL seem ed to violate some of its cha rge in week two devotshying m ore of its time to the gam e and less to the cheer leaders Maybe these gam es could a c tu shyally be abou t football eventually and not NBC ratings on Satu rday nights
Like Crow ther told me ldquoIf som eone said you could go and play [in the XFL] Irsquod probably go play because itrsquos basically like football When you get in the gam e it pretty m uch looks the s a m e rdquo
But if it becom es abou t footshyball will people still watch W hen yoursquore c rea ted for TV you b e t te r hope so

Fox S p o r ts Almost
The XFL m anI don rsquot know w ho 1 w as ta lk shy
ing to w hen I m u tte red th a t in the direction of my com puter 10 seconds ago b u t it does sum up the feelshyings of a sports fan trying to figure out w ha t to m ake of this new football league
There have been two weeks of XFL action now com shyplete with everyshybodyrsquos favorite WWF play-by- play voice Jim Ross yelling abou t som e ldquohellaciousrdquo hits and Irsquom wondering
Are you setting your VCR to tape the Chicago Enforcers gam e yet Are you m aking plans to road tr ip down to Orlando and catch the 2-0 Rage in action
Maybe you are m aybe you a r e n rsquot but I have formed a coushyple of my own opinions so far
First w h a t rsquos good abou t the new league it gives players coaches t ra in e rs and anyone else associa ted with football team s who hav e n rsquot m a d e it in the NFL a chance to keep playshying For them the XFL is a way to stay in professional football and maybe even improve their chances of one day m aking it to or for some back to the NFL
And right ab o u t here my list of w ha t I like s ta r ts to ru n p re t shyty thin
Irsquom not going to lie and say tha t w atching scantily clad cheer leaders doesn rsquot have a certa in am oun t of appeal
However th a t rsquos one of this leaguersquos biggest problems Every time the c a m e ra leaves
the perspective of the lacrosse he lm et-w ear ing field pho tog ra shyp h e r and ven tu res to the som eshyw h a t uninhibited cheer ing secshytion football ceases to be the focus of the broadcast
Sex appeal takes overEven som e of the on-field
ru les leave me asking ldquoW hyrdquoTake the ldquoDash for the Ballrdquo
which has taken the place of the coin toss to de term ine posshysession Matt Duda a w ri te r on XFLcom says it rdquo condenses all the a t tr ibu tes th a t m ake football the g rea tes t of A m er ica rsquos sports into four testosterone-fil led secondsrdquo
Basically both players s ta r t side-by-side 20 yards away from the ball the re feree tells th e m w hen to go and the guy who com es up with the ball wins
Sound a little dangerous Yeah but d o n rsquot w orry th e re rsquos only been one se p a ra te d shoulshyd e r so far Before the gam e even sta rts
Besides isnrsquot th a t a small pr ice to pay to get back to the glory days of sm ash m outh footshyball Back w hen Vince Lom bardi would pick his fastest p layer to go tear ing af ter the _ ball p laced a t L am b eau rsquos 50 N d o n rsquot you r e m e m b e r those days
Neither do IIn all fairness to the new
league I realize I could be com shypletely off the XFL black and red ball I took a leisurely Sunday walk a round my dorm and asked som eone a lot m ore in touch with football th a n me Notre Dame jun io r long s n a p shyp e r J o h n Crowther w ha t he though t of Saturday n igh trsquos new est ra tings contender
ldquoI like to watch football so I kind of like itrdquo Crow ther said ldquoBut they try to be too flashy alm ost too m uch like wrestling I guess th a t rsquos probably their point The only th ing th a t I really like th a t rsquos different than the NFL is w hen they do the

opening coin toss rdquoDamaging testimony from an
exper t witness Irsquom still not a big fan of the dash though maybe because Irsquod be grabbing m ore tu r f with my helm et than ball with my hands
Furthe rm ore Irsquom still not quite su re why the governor of Minnesota is trying to give me analysis Irsquom not su re why real football involves putting nickshyn am es like ldquoE-Ruptrdquo on the back of your je rsey or having the announcers try to convince us ju s t how legitimate the league is
W hat we have m aybe for the first time in sports history is a league th a t w as crea ted for TV This isnrsquot a struggling football league or even a prosperous one looking to gain exposure by getting TV coverage And w e rsquod
be living som ew here outside of Candy Land if we d idnrsquot notice the increasing com m ercia lizashytion of all sports including the NFL (Crsquomon mdash the ldquoMTV Presen ts the E-Trade Super Bowl Halftime Showrdquo)
But the XFL itself not ju s t its advertising cam paign is a m a r shyketing ploy an at titude com shyplete with sex appeal violence fireworks ro tat ing ca m e ra angles and smoke
Football is m erely the m eans to deliver th a t WWF image If bowling could have worked w e rsquod probably be w atch ing the XBL right now as guys rolled some hellacious strikes in the t rue tradition of sm a sh m outh sports
Maybe the re is some hope Mike Celizic a contribu tor to MSNBCcom noted how the
footballXFL seem ed to violate some of its cha rge in week two devotshying m ore of its time to the gam e and less to the cheer leaders Maybe these gam es could a c tu shyally be abou t football eventually and not NBC ratings on Satu rday nights
Like Crow ther told me ldquoIf som eone said you could go and play [in the XFL] Irsquod probably go play because itrsquos basically like football When you get in the gam e it pretty m uch looks the s a m e rdquo
But if it becom es abou t footshyball will people still watch W hen yoursquore c rea ted for TV you b e t te r hope so

Ted Fox
Fox S p o r ts Almost
The XFL m anI don rsquot know w ho 1 w as ta lk shy
ing to w hen I m u tte red th a t in the direction of my com puter 10 seconds ago b u t it does sum up the feelshyings of a sports fan trying to figure out w ha t to m ake of this new football league
There have been two weeks of XFL action now com shyplete with everyshybodyrsquos favorite WWF play-by- play voice Jim Ross yelling abou t som e ldquohellaciousrdquo hits and Irsquom wondering
Are you setting your VCR to tape the Chicago Enforcers gam e yet Are you m aking plans to road tr ip down to Orlando and catch the 2-0 Rage in action
Maybe you are m aybe you a r e n rsquot but I have formed a coushyple of my own opinions so far
First w h a t rsquos good abou t the new league it gives players coaches t ra in e rs and anyone else associa ted with football team s who hav e n rsquot m a d e it in the NFL a chance to keep playshying For them the XFL is a way to stay in professional football and maybe even improve their chances of one day m aking it to or for some back to the NFL
And right ab o u t here my list of w ha t I like s ta r ts to ru n p re t shyty thin
Irsquom not going to lie and say tha t w atching scantily clad cheer leaders doesn rsquot have a certa in am oun t of appeal
However th a t rsquos one of this leaguersquos biggest problems Every time the c a m e ra leaves
the perspective of the lacrosse he lm et-w ear ing field pho tog ra shyp h e r and ven tu res to the som eshyw h a t uninhibited cheer ing secshytion football ceases to be the focus of the broadcast
Sex appeal takes overEven som e of the on-field
ru les leave me asking ldquoW hyrdquoTake the ldquoDash for the Ballrdquo
which has taken the place of the coin toss to de term ine posshysession Matt Duda a w ri te r on XFLcom says it rdquo condenses all the a t tr ibu tes th a t m ake football the g rea tes t of A m er ica rsquos sports into four testosterone-fil led secondsrdquo
Basically both players s ta r t side-by-side 20 yards away from the ball the re feree tells th e m w hen to go and the guy who com es up with the ball wins
Sound a little dangerous Yeah but d o n rsquot w orry th e re rsquos only been one se p a ra te d shoulshyd e r so far Before the gam e even sta rts
Besides isnrsquot th a t a small pr ice to pay to get back to the glory days of sm ash m outh footshyball Back w hen Vince Lom bardi would pick his fastest p layer to go tear ing af ter the _ ball p laced a t L am b eau rsquos 50 N d o n rsquot you r e m e m b e r those days
Neither do IIn all fairness to the new
league I realize I could be com shypletely off the XFL black and red ball I took a leisurely Sunday walk a round my dorm and asked som eone a lot m ore in touch with football th a n me Notre Dame jun io r long s n a p shyp e r J o h n Crowther w ha t he though t of Saturday n igh trsquos new est ra tings contender
ldquoI like to watch football so I kind of like itrdquo Crow ther said ldquoBut they try to be too flashy alm ost too m uch like wrestling I guess th a t rsquos probably their point The only th ing th a t I really like th a t rsquos different than the NFL is w hen they do the

opening coin toss rdquoDamaging testimony from an
exper t witness Irsquom still not a big fan of the dash though maybe because Irsquod be grabbing m ore tu r f with my helm et than ball with my hands
Furthe rm ore Irsquom still not quite su re why the governor of Minnesota is trying to give me analysis Irsquom not su re why real football involves putting nickshyn am es like ldquoE-Ruptrdquo on the back of your je rsey or having the announcers try to convince us ju s t how legitimate the league is
W hat we have m aybe for the first time in sports history is a league th a t w as crea ted for TV This isnrsquot a struggling football league or even a prosperous one looking to gain exposure by getting TV coverage And w e rsquod
be living som ew here outside of Candy Land if we d idnrsquot notice the increasing com m ercia lizashytion of all sports including the NFL (Crsquomon mdash the ldquoMTV Presen ts the E-Trade Super Bowl Halftime Showrdquo)
But the XFL itself not ju s t its advertising cam paign is a m a r shyketing ploy an at titude com shyplete with sex appeal violence fireworks ro tat ing ca m e ra angles and smoke
Football is m erely the m eans to deliver th a t WWF image If bowling could have worked w e rsquod probably be w atch ing the XBL right now as guys rolled some hellacious strikes in the t rue tradition of sm a sh m outh sports
Maybe the re is some hope Mike Celizic a contribu tor to MSNBCcom noted how the
footballXFL seem ed to violate some of its cha rge in week two devotshying m ore of its time to the gam e and less to the cheer leaders Maybe these gam es could a c tu shyally be abou t football eventually and not NBC ratings on Satu rday nights
Like Crow ther told me ldquoIf som eone said you could go and play [in the XFL] Irsquod probably go play because itrsquos basically like football When you get in the gam e it pretty m uch looks the s a m e rdquo
But if it becom es abou t footshyball will people still watch W hen yoursquore c rea ted for TV you b e t te r hope so
