Wait…. Did Dick Ebersol just call himself an obese, underachieving ego-maniac?


NBC inked a deal with the Notre Dame to continue broadcasting their home games through the 2015 season.

NBC Sports Chairman Dick Ebersol and Notre Dame President Rev. John I. Jenkins announced an extension of the TV contract to broadcast Irish football games on NBC through 2015.

2015 will mark the 25th year for Notre Dame on NBC.

“We are thrilled to continue this landmark partnership with Notre Dame," Ebersol said during a conference call. “Notre Dame defines who we at NBC Sports are: from the Olympics, to the U.S. Golf Open to Notre Dame.”


And since were in the neighborhood, Bodog.com released their 2008 odds to win a BCS national championship.

The favorites:

USC 3/1
Florida 6/1
Georgia 6/1
Ohio State 6/1
Oklahoma 6/1
LSU 12/1
Missouri 14/1
Auburn 20/1

Other notables:

Texas 30/1
UCLA 35/1
Notre Dame 55/1
Nebraska 80/1
Arizona St. 80/1
Boise St. 100/1
…and of course, the ever-dangerous “Field” 25/1

I'm glad to note from your post that the mighty San Diego State University Aztecs are a 25:1 shot at winning the national championship, besting such teams as UCLA, Notre Dame, and Nebraska.

And who says the first two years under Chuck Long stewardship got us nowhere??
