    Can ND back in?

    (Not that I want to or think we will, but....) Can we play for the Ship even if we lose to USC? I say yes.

    Tony Scott - RIP

    I probably couldn't have picked Tony Scott out of a lineup, but I've spent a good part of my day thinking about him today for a couple of reasons. Top Gun is probably his most famous film, but Man on Fire and True Romance are both among my all-time favorites (somewhere in the archives of this...

    R.I.P. Johnny Pesky

    Depressing season for Red Sox fans, but nobody has been a better source of smiles over the last half-dozen decades than Pesky. A true class act and a legend unique to the Boston Red Sox, he didn't belong to baseball like Ted Williams - he belonged to us.

    NBCsports is KILLING IT

    ...this week with their Super Bowl coverage. I hope everyone here is watching. Mostly because its great TV (it is the Wall Street Journal to ESPN's Daily News). High brow sports TV. But secondly, it is definitely in ND's interest that NBCsports make some inroads, especially right now and in the...

    Denard Robinson Seeks Opinion of NFL Draft Advisory Board

    Denard Robinson Seeks Opinion of NFL Draft Advisory Board Didn't see this posted anywhere else. Forgive me if I've missed something. As the article states, he most likely won't like what he hears and will be back. He will have to switch positions at some point to play on Sunday, but I find it...

    If Arkansas beats LSU....

    ...on Friday, all hell will officially break lose. Who wants to see what happen? I'm definitely rooting for a Razorback win. Go Hogs! Woo Pig Sooie!

    Syracuse assistant accused of molesting ball boy

    Sickening. On one hand, you hate to hear about stuff like this happening. On the other hand, it is happening, so its better to find out about it so we can give the sons of bitches that do this to kids what they have coming to them. I hope these stories coming out embolden more and more kids...

    For the record, I like soccer. But there is no way this isn't funny: <iframe width="480" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/5xLn-X8YJRg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    Tailgate for Navy

    My fiance and I are coming out to South Bend for the game on Saturday (it is our first time), and it would be awesome to meet up with a fellow IE member and put a face to the name. I'd really like to find a tailgate. It is just the two of us, and I'll make sure we bring more than we could ever...

    Homer Drew (and wife) diagnosed with cancer

    Homer Drew, Valpo coach/program architect, and his wife were both recently diagnosed with cancer. Here is the AP story. There are a few interesting tidbits in the story, but this one jumped out as interesting for this board:

    Everything Soccer

    I'm definitely excited. The U.S. needs to play a more imaginative, technical brand of soccer. We try to simply out-athlete everyone, and you can't consistently beat the best teams in the world that way. Maybe this won't work. Maybe we don't have the skill to play the way Klinsmann will try to...

    BIG XII Doing Texas Dirty

    I'll have to look into all the details, but I just saw on Sports Center as I was about to go to bed that the conference is going to prohibit the Longhorn Network (an ESPN property) from showing any high school football games (it was scheduled to show 18 of them) because other conference schools...

    Everything Soccer

    Tim Howard used to be the strength of the U.S. team, but he seems like he might be finished. He could have, and should have, prevented at least two of Mexico's goals. The U.S. defense has not been good since Cherundolo left, either.

    Everything Soccer

    I just want to get to halftime with this still a tie game. All of the early U.S. momentum is gone. Need to regroup in the 2nd half.

    SEC to vote to end (limit) oversigning.

    Per ESPN: SEC coaches debate signing change It is shocking to me how the coaches quoted in the article can be so forthright about their affinity for the practice. Even if you don't have the character to not partake in the oversigning, you should at least have the good sense to be ashamed of it...

    Irish Offer Arkansas WR?

    Sorry if this is addressed somewhere else. If so, feel free to delete this. The premium sites are all atwitter about an Irish offer to a WR from Arkansas. I do not see one listed in the 2012 recruiting profiles. Scout has three WR's from Arkansas with star-rankings. Jalen Cobb is a 4*, but is...
