If it's Sunday...it's Ryan For Heisman? and Weekend Links

-We were a little disappointed with the appearance by Tim Russert on NBC's Notre Dame pre-game show. Well, on this week's Meet The Press, Russert made up for it in spades and earned himself the position of honorary Bandwagon conductor. He mentioned Matt Ryan for the 2nd time this season, but this time he had props. Check out this video at the 48:00 mark. We promise the wait is worth it.
-Dick Weiss has played up the idea that Matt Ryan is the second coming in pieces for Fox Sports and for the NY Daily News.
-Mark Schlabach writes an excellent account of Thursday's game with the story of a crazy (or is it genius?) coach.
-The paper of record calls Matt Ryan a video game quarterback.
-The NY Post says that #12 needs to start working on a possible acceptance speech.
-He may still be down on BC but Stewart Mandel sounds like he wants on the RFH Bandwagon.
-Deadspin likes Ryan's chances but commits 2 pretty inexcusable typos.
-The News & Observer suggests that the ACC might wants to send a fruit basket to Matt Ryan.
-Pete Thamel mentions that the cops at Fenway were celebrating the heroics of Matty Ice.
-Steve Conroy says that Matt Ryan was already a HT candidate but that Thursday night gave him the required signature win.
-A nice piece on Ryan and Jags from someone who has been high on the QB since August.
-The Globe discusses where "Rattler" fits among other classic college football moments.
-CSTV has the HT as a two-horse race but puts the wrong thoroughbred alongside Matt Ryan.

Saturday Pictures

If anybody has pictures of themselves in an RFH t-shirt, send it in and I will post it. Here are mine:First, here we are with Tim Russert. Russert was very nice and didn't mind that we interrupted his parents' weekend for a few minutes. Thanks again to Mr. and Mrs. Russert and Luke for letting us butt in. Also, we are hoping for a shoutout on this week's Meet the Press.
After that, my brother was walking by Alumni and ran into Matt Ryan of all people. So Matt stopped to sign a few autographs for us.
Then, Matt posed for a picture. His dad even offered to take it for us after Matty Ice suggested it. Ryan seemed a little embarrassed by the whole thing but was really nice. We just want to thank Matt and his dad for being cool about the whole thing and for taking the time to say hi.Finally, here are a few pictures of the autographed shirt.

Game Day Sighting

So, I'm walking back to my seat from the bathroom at the very end of halftime today and I see a group of people standing around talking. I am about to pass them when something caught my eye. It was a girl wearing a SuperFan shirt. Normally, this would not be noteworthy. However, on the back of her shirt is a sticker which features the banner from this site. Imagine my shock. I politely interrupted this girl and asked her where she got it. She replied, "Oh, my friend's dad made them up." I chuckled and thought to myself "No, he didn't." Anyway, I kept asking her questions and laughing until finally she asked why I was so curious. I pointed out that it was my design and she said "Oh, do you know the Wakefields?" No, I don't know the Wakefields but Mr. Wakefield, whoever you are, how about a heads up? I would have come over and gotten myself a sticker. Anyway, long story short, t-shirts will be available next week and anyone who will be at the game and is interested let me know, maybe something can be worked out if you want a decent sized lot. People who want one sent somewhere can contact me too. That can be done through PayPal.
