02.20.09 NOTRE DAME ‘LEGENDS’ TO FACE JAPAN
Former Notre Dame football coach Lou Holtz (you know, as opposed to Sacremento-based performance artist Lou Holtz) is fielding a team of Notre Dame alumni to play against the Japanese national team in football. That’s American football, not this futbol shit that some emo soccer player feels obligated to explain every time he hears a conversation not about the World Cup.
Holtz said that over 100 former Notre Dame players volunteered to make the trip, so he and his coaching staff will hold tryouts to narrow the team down for the trip. The final roster will be announced in April. Holtz listed several players who were sure to make the team, including quarterback Tony Rice, running back Travis Thomas and center Tim Ruddy.
Wow, I’m blinded by the gleam coming off those names. How did they get Travis Thomas on such short notice? Did “Nothing” grant him a leave of absence? Anyway, the Notre Dame Japan Bowl will be played at Tokyo Dome July 25th, after which Holtz’s squad will morph into the “South Bend Golden Foreskins” franchise of the UFL. See a spethial methage from Coach Holtz after the jump.

Evidently two A-bombs weren’t enough.
Notre Dame - The Harlem Globetrotters of College Football!… At least they’ll win a bowl game
Don’t know how to bet this…on the one hand, the Notre Dame guys will have bigger cocks, but on the other hand, the Japanese players are better at math.
God, what a waste of time (the game AND my comment)
As spare as the roster may sound on the Notre Dame side…I’m kinda interested in this.
Ruddy! Ruddy! Ruddy! Ruddy! Ruddy! Ruddy! Ruddy! Ruddy!
This is quite a lavish excuse for Lou considering that all he wants is a Hello Kitty backpack.
McWennington you know the Globetrotters have 345 all time losses or something. If Charlie Weiss can focus long enough to wipe the spittle out of the corners of his mouth they could get there next year.
The Japanese love Rice.
Jesus! I got spit on just watching this video.
