If you are in your late 20’s or early 30’s, you remember a time when Paula Abdul ruled the world. Not like she is now, slurring words, addicted to alcohol and prescription medicine, and attached to Simon Cowell’s crotch. In the late 80’s, this former Laker Girl and choreographer took the world by storm with hits such as Straight Up, Opposites Attract, and Cold Hearted. She was smoking hot, and I spent many a days watching her music videos with my hand down my pants (hoping my parents wouldn’t barge in), while at the same time wondering why she liked to dance with cartoon cats.

Little did I know the words of wisdom that her song Cold Hearted would bring. That’s what recruiting season is. Cold Hearted. As young men make the best decision for their future, fans hearts get broken with the realization that their school is not the “dream school” for every big-time recruit. As this recruiting season draws near the end, the Irish are continuing a disturbing trend of getting played by verbally committed recruits. Last year it was Omar Hunter. This year it’s Marlon Pollard and Nyshier Oliver. I don’t know that either loss is huge, but it hurts to see Notre Dame get shunned for another.

To all recruits who have dissed Notre Dame, I speak for all of us fans when I say you are cold-hearted sons of bitches. Yes, you’ve been tellin’ lies. Tell’em Paula.
