I went to Disneyworld and got on the cover of Sport Magazine when I was 8 and playing for the Oakland A's (at least thats the uniform I was wearing. I was a huge McGwire/Canseco fan).

That's what I think of when I see these things lol.

The trick to "recruiting edits/graphics" are to make the kid think.

I do not think most schools do a good enough job of that including Notre Dame until recently. I wouldn't put the ESPN cover in that, but several recruits have mentioned the "#4For40" pics that the coaches are sending them.

You can spend a lot of time making cool graphics/edits to make the kid excited for 2 secs when he sees it.

BUT, you can also make them excited for 2 secs and then hit them with a deeper meaning that they will take to heart and then when their parents see it, that can make an impression as well.

It's just all in the plan of attack and you want to be different. Notre Dame hasn't quite hit the different part, but they are getting there. I like where they are going with their Social Media and marketing for recruits.

These are 17, 18 & 19 year old kids. The vast majority love this stuff. If it helps them make a decision in our favor, who cares how silly it is?

Sanford kept Freudian slipping and calling him Jawon Run. Killed our chances but created a cult IE following for Sanford.

Bobby Petrino...he's a damn good coach. Sucks on a motorbike, but can recruit and coach football.

In a separate incident, wide receiver Traveon Samuel was pulled over by Kentucky State Police and cited after officers said he was speeding down Interstate 65 in Bullitt County last month.

Officers said Samuel was driving faster than 100 MP on Jan. 6.


Back in 71 or 72, I was pulled over for doing 113 in a 70. State Trooper ha me get out of the car and started with , "WTF are you trying to do, kill someone?' Sheepishly I said, "No sir". "Well you're doing a pretty f2cking good job of trying.". He throw out a few more F bombs, then let me go with a verbal warning. Evidently he had something urgent he needed to get to and didn't have time to write the ticket. I still remember that incident like it was yesterday. Never drove like that again.

What? Leave us hanging on the sled you were in??? Serious question must be answered. Was #1 a Ford, GM or Mopar guy?

They reduced the speed limit to 55 after the oil embargo. So before 74/75 it was 70 or unlimited (I believe) in some places out west.

Amazing.

UoL QB gets busted with drugs. Internal handling. No mention in mainstream media.

ND WR drinks and drives. All over every media all year long.

BAMA DL has unregistered gun. Judge throws out kid plays the next day

ND S has unregistered gun. Kicked out of school and others with him get the media scrutiny.

Go figure.

Somebody has to have some scruples.

True, but why does the media and everyone constantly throw ND under the bus for doing things right?

I dont know. Maybe yet another attack by Satan against anything trying to be justly. Lets face it, the world is his and anything trying to be good or do the right thing gets pounded today constantly from all sides.

Just seems everything is always against ND. ND will never get the true top athletes because face it, most top athletes just arent blessed with the intelligence to pass admission at ND or the desire to do it. Media bias constantly against ND. National fan based that wont accept anything but championships when the hand dealt wont allow it.

It is truly an uphill battle.

Pride, Armstrong and Sanders are all state champion sprinters, so was Breezy plus he was a National #1 triple jumper, George and Josh Atkinson were both blazers, GA3 was 3rd in the 100 in CA as a soph and then concentrated on football... and Will Fuller's faster than them all come game time. ND gets plenty of true top athletes.

Most white kids from Beverly Hills or Manhattan aren't blessed with the intelligence to get into ND either.

So a GM man... on estrogen.

I always pictured you as a manly man #1. You must of been 5-8, 120 to drive that lil German Miata.

Pretty close, 5'8" 145lbs. Thing was blast to drive and the chicks loved it. But you're pretty much on target. This is my current ride.

Did you get your flying permit? Once you have your pilots license, don't they limit you to a certain minimum altitude?

So much for stereotypical thinking.

Already a 5th year senior and can’t see the field on a bad Louisville team. Had one season of extended playing time where he had an 8/12 TD/INT ratio. Completion percentage in the mid 50% and doesn’t run well.

Hard Pass.
