One of my top 5 comedians of all time. Sad to lose him so young. Comedian John Pinette found dead in Pittsburgh hotel room at age 50 | Reuters

Needs its own thread. We spend more money in this country per pupil on education in the world, yet we rank 17th in the world in Reading and we're in the 30's in both Math and Science (K-12). Most teachers don't get rich but their pensions and benefits are bankrupting school districts in the...

Staff and players did a much better job this week than last week in these situations. Don't know what else lies ahead as far as packages go, but consider this: Stanford has a short yardage package with 9 linemen on the field. Can't any team do something similar, including ND? Picture a loaded...

I was at a party this past weekend, and friends of our family have a son in college. He is the kicker on a school in the SEC. I asked him how his son was liking the area, the team, his classes, the coaches, his schedule, etc. 1) The kid loves playing D1 football, but the school owns you once...

A while back I asked everyone about Rhode Island and I passed on that job opportunity. A new one has come up in Hartford, CT. Anyone live there now or from the area who can tell me the good, the bad, and the ugly? From what I read and saw online so far, downtown looks fun. Kind of disappointing...

I got to thinking the other day...wow, they have way too much in common. And since it's football and election season, why not? 1) They have to be likeable to their bases 2) They have to be strong in sales/ persuasion 3) They can't get in trouble outside of work 4) They really have to...

I have a job offer on the table in Providence, and want to hear from anyone who lives up there. What is the area like? What are the people like? How is entertainment/ night life? How is cost of living? I'm picturing more snow and ice and less football, neither of which I like.

Underage consumption. Cool. Who's next?

Trying to buy tix for Maryland/ ND game in November and want to sit near the ND band. How does the school determine whether the band travels, and how would I find out which section/ area the band will be seated? Thanks, fellas

Colin cowherd brought up the possibility of it today on his radio show. Noted Pac 12 commish is "monitoring the situation" and "always planning" if NFL locks out. I for one would be ticked if I had to watch ND on a sunday, unless it was a bowl game. Thoughts? Ready...go

I'm getting my master's and teaching cert in Secondary Education and came across some fascinating information in one of my classes this week. We all know how obsessed we have become over past decades with SAT and ACT scores. Many elite schools like Stanford, UCLA, etc. are now starting to toss...

There are some rumors and rumblings out that Martin is interested in the head coaching job at Kent State. I hope it isn't true after one year. I really like the guy and he taught our DB's how to friggin tackle. At the same time, he's said in interviews this year he wouldn't leave ND for another...

Saw the story on Sportscenter this morning and it will probably be aired on gameday, too. UW recently had their "pass right" moment like ND did in 2005. There is a young, six year-old boy in Wisc diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, Bilema brought the kid and his family in for a day, kid struck a...

Actually, this happens to people quite often when texting, especially when you're talking to someone about someone else. I've done it a number of times, especially when hammered, which I'm sure Ianello was not. Misadventures in Texting: Akron Football Edition Tuesday, May 04, 2010 Posted By...

Hey Fellas, I'm a full time grad student in PA looking to get out of the area for the summer, find a good job, rent an apartment, and broaden my horizons. If you live or around the area, please send me a PM. I'd just like to pick your brain for some ideas. Thanks!

Last I read they were flirting around with the idea of moving him to QB, and he said he'd be open to doing whatever helps the team. Rivals.com has an article up about who the toughest guys are to replace, so they had a blurb about Crist replacing Clausen. Duh. They also noted that Goody has...

I was thinking about this earlier and wanted to see what all you guys thought. When I say worst job in college football, I don't necessarily mean head coaching gigs. I'm talking about a few ideas here. Feel free to throw in yours, too. I'm anxious to see what we get. 1. NCAA Compliance...

Has anyone heard anything from ND guys (Prister, Sampson, Frank) or South Bend reporters about a scheduled press conference today? Sundays are Charlie's regular wrap-up days. Obviously the circumstances are different and a lot is going on. Just didn't know if anyone heard about anything...
