I'm pulling for my alma mater today, even though the *LA Times* says they're "cheating" by growing the grass long. [Link](http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-plaschke15oct15,0,1003751.column?coll=la-home-sports&ref=thedailyeudemon.com). Excerpt:

> At a pep rally on the eve of today's basilica-sized showdown, the Irish revealed the drug with which they would slow down the fast Trojans.

> Grass.

> Ankle-deep grass. Pitching-wedge grass. Crass grass.

> The deep green stuff on the field at Notre Dame Stadium on Friday night was long enough to choke a Bush.

> One of the fastest teams in college football history was not amused.

> "It's terrible," said the Trojans' LenDale White.

> Notre Dame officials claimed innocence, saying that the field was torn up several weeks ago against Michigan State and needed to be grown as thick as possible to withstand a string of five consecutive home games.

> One supposes that it has nothing to do with the fact that, while USC can run, Notre Dame is as slow as, well, watching grass grow.

The NCAA has a thick rule book, but I've honestly never heard of a rule regarding the length of grass, and this highly-partisan article doesn't mention one. I wouldn't be surprised if there is one, but I'll also bet $100 that the grass length at ND complies with it.

Go Irish. Slay the giant.
