Big Game Tonight

The Sox and Twins play a big game tonight to determine who will be be the team that gets the pleasure of ending the Rays’ magical season.  And I know at least one member of TGIAB is rooting for the White Sox.  I’m still holding out for the Red Line series of the White Sox [...]

Just to belabor the point…

Beware of these men at your next Notre Dame tailgate… Read the disturbing stories of what is taking place at ND before, during and after Notre Dame football games here, here and here.  Not only do students have to worry about being picked on off campus grounds, but things have gotten a little out of [...]

How to spot a ball

I noticed something very interesting while at the Stanford-Washington game this weekend.  Obviously, the game was extremely boring for two reasons: (1) Both teams suck, (2) Jake Locker got injured, and (3) all I wanted to do was get back in my car and drive home to Portland.  So the outcome of my boredom was [...]

Who Want’s a Moustache Ride?

In a season where every game means more than the prior, ND came out and answered a lot of questions…in the second half.  The first half saw a lot of what we’ve come to expect in the last 13 months;  bad running, some bad routes, a missed field goal and a “shadows and mirrors” tie [...]

USC Defeated by Helmet-visor-wearing QB

As I’ve previously proven, wearing a helmet visor makes on a better football player.  Tonight, Oregon State once again proved me right.  In case you live under a rock…or live on the east coast so the game ended after midnight, the Oregon State Beavers handed #1 USC a convincing 27-21 loss today.  In all seriousness, [...]

Non-Notre Dame Thoughts….

1. Congrats to the United States team at the Ryder Cup.  Boo Weekley is one of the five greatest human beings in the world.  Some quotes to prove it: – On the Ryder Cup: “It’s adrenaline. I feel like a dog somebody done stuck a needle to and juiced him up.” – On his golf [...]

New Subway Alumni Show Tomorrow

Guys, make sure you go to tSAS (our new name for the Subway Alumni Show, modeled after tgiab.com) tomorrow for their latest show recapping Michigan State and looking forward to Purdue.  I don’t know how they’ll make it funny after our loss to MSU, but if their teaser below is any indication, I’m sure they’ll find a way to [...]

An Optimistic Outlook

I don’t want anyone to miss our hard hitting analysis on what ails Jimmy Clausen, so I recommend reading that interesting article first. To start off, it should be known that I always try to remain optimistic.  I am also a huge Illini fan, so I like to give their sports programs a shout-out as [...]

What’s Wrong With Jimmy Clausen?

It’s obviously his helmet visor…or complete lack thereof since he began his career at Notre Dame.  I’m not one to make outrageous claims, but it’s a proven fact that playing with a helmet visor makes you a completely better player.  Let’s look at the facts: (1) While at Oaks Christian, Jimmy was 42-0 as a [...]

Oh Beautiful South Bend

As former residents of the city of South Bend, Three Guys in a Basement are all too familiar with South Bend’s finest.  I know most of us truly do like South Bend and want it to flourish once again as it did during the Studebaker days, but there’s something very wrong with the city and [...]

ND vs. MSU Thoughts…Mixed Feelings

I say mixed feelings because as I sit here 6 hours after the outcome has been determined, I am having an internal battle on how to view and interpret this game.  My 8-12 year old self who watched ND play CU (my then favorite, now second favorite team thanks to one Rocket Ismael) in the [...]

Tailgate Withdrawal

I’m entering new territory this weekend, as I will not be headed to the site of a college football game after three consecutive weeks spent at different locales.  I’m not really sure how I will handle it. First, over Labor Day weekend, I went to the Washington-Oregon game in Eugene.  Aside from being a newly [...]
