    Custom avatars

    Are they limited to V-Club members, or can the rest of us upload them? I purchased a "permission" from vbPlaza (for eight grand, mind you -- that's 0.2% of my total funds and it better not have been wasted) but I still don't see any way to choose any avatar other than the default ones. Help?

    "The Shirt" 2007 ...

    ... is going to be unveiled Friday at 6:00pm. Can one of you on-campus folks make sure to get us the details once things go down? Or does anyone have an inside scoop?

    Stewart Mandel is a fricking idiot

    What a dumbass ... the link is here: Overrated: Brady Quinn, Notre Dame Is Quinn worthy of a first-round pick? Absolutely. There's no slighting his productivity running Charlie Weis' pro-style offense the past two seasons. I just can't believe the Irish star is still being mentioned in the...

    Anybody hear the one about the Trojans?

    They got busted. :pepper::rotflmao::pepper: (Was that funny? I just thought of it ...)

    Have a blessed Good Friday, everyone ...

    Is the site broken?

    The "New Posts" link just turns out garbage, and I don't know if I've seen a real post all day. WTF?

    The "New Posts" Function is Broken

    I know I'm not the first person to say this. But I figure that starting yet another thread on it is more likely to bring about results than just adding to an existing one. Can it be fixed? It is driving me insane ...

    Those Damned Star Ratings

    This is the first time I've really started following recruiting this early in the "season", and it seems to me to be a hell of a lot more fun before Scout and Rivals put out their frigging rankings. Instead of fretting about what some marginally employed football geek who couldn't even get a...

    The baby is here!

    Little Jack arrived a week ago, in grand style (three days of labor, no drugs!). All is well, but exhaustion reigns supreme. I'll return to posting one of these days ... glad, though, to hear about the Cwynar commit. Keep the wife and the little one in your prayers.

    Brady at Pro Day

    From the Sun-Times (link): Quinn, meanwhile, finally gave NFL scouts, coaches, general managers and owners an up-close look at what he can do on the field. His only workout at the combine was bench-pressing 225 pounds 24 times, but he took part in a half-hour workout at Notre Dame's pro day...

    Seton Hall vs. Louisville

    We need the Pirates to win so we can end up with the #3 seed in the BE Tourney. Right now it's 42-32 Louisville, with just over four minutes to go in the first half. So it doesn't look good, but GO PIRATES!

    Oh, the hating!

    I'm not going to link to either article, but get ahold of these gems. First, here are two of Mark Schlabach's predictions for the '07 season: 8. Notre Dame will lose at Penn State and Michigan: The Fighting Irish will be much better than I initially expected, but they'll lose early road games...

    Countdown to kickoff ...

    187 days to go 'til the GT game. By that point, it is entirely possible that I will have a six-month-old child (who, my wife insists, will NOT be named 'Brady Quinn'). In the meantime I will update this thread regularly ...

    Bring on Jerry Falwell!

    I'm sure some of you may have seen this, but it's the slow time of the year, and it's always good to laugh a second time at a story like this: (And there's more: link.) I don't see K. White et al taking him up on this one, do you?

    The alleged allegations

    So can someone who's been following things more closely please explain to me WTF is going on with this whole Ron Zook/shady recruiting practices situation? All I've got is that the (New York? Chicago Sun?) Times ran an article on NSD about how no one could understand how Zook was doing so well...

    This week's men's hoops polls

    ESPN/USA Today has us at #3 among unranked teams. But the AP poll seems to leave us out altogether (link): Is this right? Are we really not among the top 47 teams in the country according to them??
