Bill Connelly just published a great article titled "How the spread offense conquered football, from Hal Mumme to Joe Burrow":

Creating this as a new thread since I couldn't find an established one dedicated to non-athletic university news. I originally shared this in the Politics thread, but it (understandably) didn't get much traction there. Fr. Bill Miscamble, CSC recently published a biography of Fr. Hesburgh...

Brett and Kate McKay, who run the blog The Art of Manliness, recently published an article titled The 3 Keys to Balancing Safety and Risk in Raising Your Kids. I'm strongly adverse to "helicopter parenting", but my wife and mother-in-law (who lives with us) are paranoid, so I frequently get...

Bogs' excellent "Economic stimulation..." thread has sort of become a catch-all for serious, off-topic, non-political threads, so I'm starting this one to keep that more focused on Economics. Vanity Faire's Nancy Jo Sales just published an article titled "Tinder and the Dawn of the 'Dating...

Here's a sad story from CBS's Dennis Dodd titled "Steve Boda's legacy--and Notre Dame history--in limbo after his death": Hopefully someone at ND gets word and secures these priceless records ASAP.

Patrick Deneen, one of my favorite ND professors, is teaching a class this semester called "Liberalism and Conservatism". He's opted to post all the course materials and facilitate discussion online in lieu of his weekly column at TAC: A better understanding of political philosophy would...

Starting a new thread for debate regarding American foreign policy. The Atlantic's Robert Kaplan just published a compelling article titled "Warming to Iran": Détente with Iran should be our top foreign policy goal for the reasons listed above. Once that's accomplished, we can stop pouring...

SBNation's Ian Boyd just published a great article on the key differences between "spread" and "pro-style" offenses: This stuff is like catnip for me. I never realized how advantageous our particular recruiting strengths (TE and OL) could be. If Kelly committed to a "power" spread, our...

On a lighter note, here's a hilarious article I just stumbled across on SBNation-- "How to be a college football coach who doesn't get fired for a while" by Faux Pelini: So what's our Main Thing?

Not sure why, but at first glance I thought you typed, "she was kind of a wookie". And after further reflection, the thought of WestCoast making out with a wookie is hilarious, so I'm sticking with it. Many of the posts in this thread remind me of jimmymac's flat assertion that Wharton >...

Matt McGann, a freshman at Okie State, made the following sign, which was featured on ESPN's Gameday coverage of OSU v. Baylor: Porn star Lisa Ann sees it, and asks McGann to be her date to the AVN Awards via Twitter: He even looks a bit like our own jimmymac: What could have been...

OFD's Eric Murtaugh just published a very thorough analysis of our PR woes: Since we'll probably be complaining about this again soon, it's well worth your time.

Tim Chou recently developed a total efficiency metric for football, and ranked every CFB program accordingly. Here are the results over the last two years: Also nice to see Butch Jones coming in at 4th. Kelly's coaching tree showing out.

Phil Steele just published his 2013 Preseason All-American team. Nix and Tuitt made 1st team defense, and Z. Martin made 3rd team offense. 21 of the players listed play for teams we'll face next season.

This is one of my favorite CFB publications of the year. Lots of advanced statistics and objective analysis on our prospects for the upcoming season. You can read it here: Plenty to get excited about.

WARNING: This story will likely make you sick to your stomach, but I feel compelled to share it anyway. I'm normally very skeptical of claims regarding media bias, since they're usually little more than partisan trolling, but I have no idea why there isn't a media firestorm surrounding this...

Currently blowing up on Twitter. This might finally be it for the Tigers.

The New York Times just published a fascinating article on the science and marketing behind processed foods. It's really long, but well worth your time. Sounds like Big Tobacco all over again.
