Are NFL cheerleaders getting older?
Every week Sports Illustrated always has some glam shots of NFL cheerleaders from the recent weekend's games...while perusing through the latest set of photos, I came across the photo below of this Carolina Panthers cheerleader...does anyone have a guess how old she is?...I don't have a clue, but she looks to be at least 50...they must be hurting down in Charlotte for women...

Notre Dame - Michigan State - the battle of the unbeatens
Notre Dame
Here are the Notre Dame game notes for the Michigan State game...
Eric Hansen of the South Bend Tribune writes how Charlie Weis has loosened up a bit...

Between each of Weis' favorite tracks, the players got their turn." ...
Michigan State
Here are the Michigan State game notes for the Notre Dame game...
Andrew Mouranie of the Lansing State Journal writes how MSU head coach Mark Dantonio notices a difference with this year's Notre Dame team... "The improvement of Notre Dame (2-0 this season, 3-9 last season) can be traced to many different facets. However, the play of the two safeties that Dantonio was referring to, Kyle McCarthy and David Bruton, as well as the big-play capability of new go-to wide receiver Golden Tate are big contributors." ...

Mark Snyder

Tressel embarrassed on national television again; Trojans smash Buckeyes 35-3
Bill Plaschke of The Los Angeles Times writes if anyone can beat this USC team... "This supposed game of the century ended up being a referendum on the last eight years. You can stop debating the identity of the best team of the Coach Pete Carroll era, because, in four months, everyone will agree. This will be it." ...
