We figured out what was wrong with our wireless internet. Evidently the latest version of the NetGear router we purchased does not need to be connected to a tower for its local area connection (LAN), like our old router did. Being the tech idjits we are, we were messing it up trying to connect it that way, even though that's what the instructions seemed to indicate we should do. So we popped on over to Best Buy, thinking we would have to purchase a new desktop tower to serve as the LAN. We spoke to Geek Squad first, and the gal there suggested that we try disconnecting it from the tower and then trying to connect to the internet from the laptops.
Voila! It worked!
So now I can take this moment to congratulate Notre Dame on a big win at home against 14th ranked Utah from the MWC. The Irish routed the Utes 28-3 behind 3 TD passes from freshman QB Tommy Rees. He only threw for 129 yards on the day, but he didn't throw an interception.
The defense was the story, holding Utah's high powered offense to only 3 points and only 265 total yards on offense. Outstanding!
Today was also Senior Day for the Irish. I offer my congratulations to a group of seniors who have been through a lot during their time in South Bend, not much of it good in terms of wins on the field. If they can beat Army next week in New York, and then go out to LA and get an upset of USC, they can finish 7-5 and maybe get an invitation to a bowl game.
Best wishes to these Notre Dame seniors. May you find success in your future endeavors.
