There’s a strange wind blowing over Notre Dame. Perhaps it was the curse of the Irish. The guys on the USC football team are used to big hits and tough falls…but they were never expecting anything like this!

As reported by the San Jose Mercury news, the airplane transporting the Trojans to their game in South Bend hit a major thunderstorm. The plane suffered extreme turbulence, as lightning flared all around them, throwing some of 125 people from their seats. At one point the plane suffered a rapid loss of altitude, dropping quickly from the sky. The weather was such a struggle that the pilot was forced to abandon his first landing attempt.

“That was terrifying,” fullback Stanley Havili told the Los Angeles Times. “I thought I was going to die.”

Let’s all bypass this distasteful illustration. I’m sure all Irish fans, myself included are greatful for the fact that no one was harmed. Let’s all give thanks for that. God bless all trojans and all Irish players, fans and supporters…

This flight episode was a message from God. 2,500 miles by plane, in that State, near the beginning of the winter. Death is almost certain. Repent ‘O’ wicked lambs from the Southern University of California. Repent your wickedness Pete of Carroll.

Yes, A divine wind was issued forth and set the tone of the great battle to come in the place of the touchdown Christos. Fear was ignited in the hearts of the blasphemer Trojans. Minds obscurred and filled with visions of death, being conquered (butt raped Brady Quinn Style), war, and famine.

Yes, it is true… the Horses and their riders have been summoned. The Four Horsemen have returned! Behold, death comes in a green uniform. There will be copious amounts of blood, sweat, spittle, snot, ankle and knee strains, hip pointers, broken bones, and some dookie on the field of battle.

The Trojans will be fully exposed as pretenders across the land… as will the Pac10. The Figthing Irish Warriors doing battle this great day will ascend to the crystal halls of Christ’s court and be forever annointed as exposers of fraudulent teams.

Woe to thee, Pac10 defamer and defiler. The time is at hand…

Lord, if it be thy wish that I suffer greater privations in the days ahead, I welcome it. Thou hast given me this cross for thy honor and for the salvation of these poor barbarians. I thank thee.

Trojan victory! I just wanted to say that this weekend in South Bend was one of the greatest football weekends that I have ever had. The campus, the stadium and yes, the Irish faithful were tremendous. I have let some of my hatred towards the Irish go. Prior to the game, one of the ushers invited me and three other fully dressed Trojans fans down the tunnel and onto the field. Very cool experience. Hopefully this victory will spark some Trojan dominance.
Fight on!!! PS. The Trojan Band was off the hook!
