In the midst of all the preseason topics, I thought I'd drop in a topic completely unrelated to all of the other ones...players that were so bad, so clumsy, or so embarassing that they are barely worth remembering. There are a LOT of them in recent years, so let's hear 'em. Ambrose Wooden...

This has probably been discussed a thousand times, buuuuut... Never in my life have I been more annoyed by a human being than I have by Tom Hammond and Pat Haden, the two announcers who cover Notre Dame Fighting Irish football games on NBC. Hammond is a moron with the most annoying voice I've...

In recent years, the crowds in Notre Dame Stadium are getting more and more quiet. The crowd has never been truly crazy since the epic game against USC in 2005. Big plays are greeted with the wildness and excitement of a Little League crowd. Notre Dame Stadium is never a tough place to play for...

Another one of my stupid prediction threads. This is how I stay sane during the offseason. This time, which player is most likely to...? Win the Heisman: Become an All-American: Go Pro Early: Run for 1000 yards: Lead the team in rushing: Run for 10 TD's: Catch 50 passes out of the backfield...

Here's where he's been ranked in preseason magazines and by experts: -#9 WR in Rivals.com Power Rankings -3rd Team Preseason All-American (Sporting News) -#21 player in the nation (Sporting News) -1st Team Preseason All-American (Phil Steele) If you have anymore accolades for Golden, make sure...

YouTube - Golden Tate 2008 Sheraton Hawaii Bowl Highlights The quality blows, but....it's still orgasmically golden.

What would you like to see improved upon by specific players? Clausen: Clausen needs to stay calm in the pocket. He needs to stay confident in himself and be composed, not pout and be scared to throw the football after an interception. I'd also like to see him look off his first option and...

The unanswerable question will be answered. Both of them have their strengths, and both of them have their weaknesses. Golden Tate is the dynamic, electric player, a threat to take it to the house every down. He has blazing speed, makes quick, precise cuts, and can leave a corner trailing in...

Jimmy Clausen #14 QB Golden Tate #9 WR Michael Floyd #15 WR Kyle Rudolph #18 TE Kyle McCarthy #22 DB Should they be ranked higher? Lower? Discuss.

According to ESPN's Joe Schad. How accurate is this rating? Discuss.

I went to today's spring game, and the most impressive player on the field was Robert Blanton. How dominant he was. Wow. No matter who he was covering (Michael Floyd, mostly), Clausen couldn't get the ball to that receiver. Blanton was stride for stride with Floyd on all three deep balls...

I've got seats on about the 40 yard line. Too excited to breathe. Never been inside the stadium before.

According to Rivals, we've just offered this kid. He's a quick, explosive inside receiver. Weis said that he reminds him a lot of Golden Tate and that he wants that kind of player. He told Jackson that he could see him as a kick returner and a slot receiver for the Irish. Jackson "can't wait...

According to IrishIllustrated, Kamara's been spending extra time after practice working on his game. He seems really, really committed to getting himself ready for the season, a sure sign of improvement. So much for his lack of work ethic. I'm excited.

Who are your favorite players and why? Offense: Golden Tate. Who DOESN'T love this guy? He's been my favorite after his performance against Purdue back in 2007. Just so fun to watch. Defense: Robert Blanton. Besides being a future cornerback beast, his interviews are hilarious.

I've been reading the reports on today's open practice and this is what I've discovered... - The defense DOMINATED. And when I say DOMINATED, I mean DOMINATED. Clausen and company were pummeled by the defense, mainly because Golden Tate, Michael Floyd, and Deion Walker all missed out on the...

By alternate team, I mean...who do you root for when you know Notre Dame is out of the national championship race? For me, it's Ohio State. All of my friends are Skunkbear fans, so it's always nice to hear them shut up when the Buckeyes deliver their annual Michigan beatdown.

Well, as you all know, spring practices began today. On Rivals.com, they've posted a three and a half minute video of the practice that focuses entirely on the linebackers and defensive line. Irish kick off spring practice - Rivals.com Video

It's late night, I'm bored, and have nothing to do. This happened. Offense: - Clausen will be much, much improved. Following the debacle of interceptions and blown leads that was the second half of the 2008 season, Jimmy is going to take a huge leap after his brilliant performance in Hawaii...
