Will Notre Dame Get a Win?

Michigan had an ineligible player the first three games they played this season and it appears that they may have to forfeit those games which include wins over Notre Dame and Penn State. The player in question is freshman Artis Chambers who made five tackles for the Wolverines over that time span. The Big Ten will take up to three weeks to make a ruling which means if they take all of that time Notre Dame will still be winless because they are not about to win anytime soon on the field. It would be great if the Irish were awarded their first win seven games into the season. It would be great.

This indiscretion in Ann Arbor has given me an opportunity to broach another topic. Michigan's mascot is the Wolverine but there are none in the state today and there never were any to begin with. They did not make up an mascot but this is the next worst thing. It can not be good to be going into meetings as an institution trying to show that there was no malice involved in playing an ineligible freshman while trying to pass off the Wolverine as a native species.
