Rumor has it that Notre Dame, after hearing about Doug Virden's performance as Baby New Year on the state capitol grounds New Year's Eve circa 1998, has invited him to be "honorary leprechaun" this season. I can't remember which game he is going to, but I hope it's this Saturday for one of the great rivalries in college football (this game allegedly accounts for five of the top 10 most-watched college football games in television history). Doug, if you actually weren't "invited" to be honorary leprechaun, just remember that Team Harold lives in South Bend and half of that team is a lawyer.
For $800 and the Ramon Escobar Trophy, which Dauphne Trenholm hopes to put on the mantle next to her Ramon Antonio Escobar Prize for Literature (thanks to her selection of "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time"), select your winners and e-mail them back to me by 6 p.m. Thursday. Note that the Red River Rivalry is played at a neutral site called the Cotton Bowl, a place Arkansas fans used to occasionally visit in the days of yore.
