    Whaaaaaaaaaaat???

    Can somebody in the know please explain to me what the HELL is wrong with my Chicago Bulls?! I click on ESPN.com and practically start shaking with excitement to find out that they've finally gotten rid of Ben "Why Try?" Wallace, only to click on the story and see that in return they've gotten...

    Norm Chow to UCLA

    Per ESPN: ESPN - Source: UCLA hires Chow as offensive coordinator - College Football. That's a great, GREAT hire. Same goes for Neuheisel, IMO. Man am I glad we got to play them during the Dorrell years ... they're going to be a dangerous team.

    Wanna blog?

    Hey folks - I'm going to be on the road for the next few weeks, and so my posting and blogging will probably be a bit light in the meantime. If any of you would like to write anything for the Roundup - I started it to get some more traffic for IE, and it's been working (several hundred hits a...

    Eff the AP

    The 2008 All-America teams are out. Trevor Laws is nowhere to be found on any of them. I'll have more on this tomorrow.

    Watch out for oompa-loompas ...

    ... they may have taken over a news station near you: The burnt shell of a house in the back is right next door to the one my family rents at the Jersey shore every summer - it caught fire this week. But what gets me is the news reporter: I mean, where do they find these people? It looks...

    Recruits on TV this weekend?

    GG and others who get all the fancy TV stations - anyone know if the Crespi-LB Poly, Buford-Dublin, or Tucker-Northside playoff games on Saturday are going to be televised?

    #39 from the 1977 NC team?

    So I'm watching the game yesterday and I see a middle-aged guy wearing a throwback #39 jersey. I asked him whose jersey it was, and after jokingly answering "Larry Csonka", he told me that it was his jersey, that he'd played for the Irish in 1977 ("with Joe", he added). I didn't manage to ask...

    Off to Palo Alto

    (Via the Roundup.) My wife and I are packing up the Volvo in a few hours and heading down and across the Bay to take our son to his first ND game. If you're at the alumni club tailgate, I'll be the guy in bad need of a haircut toting around an eight-month-old in a green #10 jersey. Feel free to...

    It's official ...

    ... my kid is a Notre Dame football maniac, just in time for his first-ever gameday experience a week from tomorrow. He always enjoyed watching us pump our arms up and down to the "DUM-DUM-dum-DUM" song, and especially having us do the same with his. Now when you sing the song he waves his...

    Injuries

    I already talked about this in the "Pleasantly surprised" post, but in case you missed it: Weis said yesterday that John Sullivan, Pat Kuntz, and Sergio Brown will all be out this week, and Geoff Price and Mike Ragone are doubtful. Sullivan, who may be able to return for the Stanford game, will...

    ND vs. Airforce: Benchmarks

    (Via the Roundup.) At 1-8 after a crushing loss to Navy last Saturday, Notre Dame needs a win this week if they're going to avoid having lost to TWO service academies in the same season. Perhaps even more than a win, though, the Irish need to build on the few successes they've had so far this...

    Brady was a steal ...

    ... in hindsight it turns out he should've fallen to #25: ESPN - McShay: 2007 NFL re-draft - NFL. Not like the Dolphins turned out to need a QB or anything. :jerkit:

    Clausen to start vs. Air Force

    It's already been mentioned a couple of times, but I wanted to make sure everyone knew, and obviously it deserves its own thread anyway ... Clausen to start vs. Air Force Per the <a href="http://www.journalgazette.net/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071107/SPORTS0302/71107038"...

    Why haven't we recruited another fullback?

    Luke Schmidt is going to be a junior next year (though did he redshirt in 2006?), and he still hasn't managed to beat out the perpetually disappointing Asaph Schwapp. Why hasn't - or isn't - someone else been recruited to play this position? Is there anything to the rumors that Hughes, or even...

    "Wait 'til next week ..."

    (Via the Roundup.) So says the Kool-Aid drinker. NEXT week will be the week this team gets it together. NEXT week will be the week Weis’s offensive philosophy really starts to sink in. NEXT week will be the week we finally see the potential that so far has been primarily latent in this young...

    Good news ...

    Curt Schilling does NOT want to be Yankee next year. Whew. He alone would have been worse than Clemens and A-Rod put together, IMO. My favorite part of the article is this: Learn to spell, you jerk ...
