Navy: What a beating!

It makes me all warm and fuzzy to watch Navy delivering a brutal beating to Notre Dame at the new Meadowlands Stadium. The Mids just scored again to take a 35-10 lead over the fightless Irish.

This has nothing to do with my former status as a USC fan, though I'm sure there are some residual anti-Irish feelings swimming around in my subconscious. I'm just happy to see Navy nailing down their third victory over ND in the last four years after going four decades without a single in in the historic series.

Ricky Dobbs looks very much like the Heisman Trophy candidate he was supposed to be before he got banged up and the Mids got off to a slow start this season. He's got three rushing touchdowns and Alexander Teich has just shredded the middle of the Notre Dame defense.

Today's plug: The noon game pre-empted my WBAL radio show, so you'll have to settle for my Saturday "New Item" column, which you can read right here. I'll also have an Orioles column up a little later today and in tomorrow's print edition.

It's so nice to see Navy pounding the "Fighting Irish" after decades of ND fattening the record at the expense of the service academies. And to Brian Kelly, good on ya, ya bum, for leaving Cincinnati in the lurch.

About Peter Schmuck
Peter Schmuck wants you to know that, contrary to popular belief, he is more than just a bon vivant, raconteur and collector of blousy flowered shirts. He is a semi-respected journalist who has covered virtually every sport -- except luge, of course – and tackled issues that transcend the mere games people play. If that isn’t enough to qualify him to provide witty, wide-ranging commentary on the sports world ... and the rest of the world, for that matter ... he is an avid reader of history, biography and the classics, as well as a charming blowhard who pops off on both sports and politics on WBAL Radio. That means you can expect a little of everything in The Schmuck Stops Here, but the major focus will be keeping you up to the minute on Baltimore’s major sports teams and themes, whether it’s throwing up the Orioles lineup the minute it’s announced or updating you on the latest sprained ankle in Owings Mills. Oh, and by the way, that’s Mr. Schmuck to you.
