How is Newman a senior? Didn't he graduate ND?

Probably just how he refers to himself. At most schools he'd be considered a fifth year senior. Maybe he just meant he's a senior athletically.

Interesting piece. I believe that Brandon answers all his own questions, if he just listens closely to himself. Being a "gamer" will not get it a Notre Dame. This was exactly Carlo Calabreese's problem initially, and, in my opinion, he would have never gotten on the field [ahead of McDonald] if Anthony hadn't been injured.

Apparently it was Walker's problem too. People like Big Lou have chided Davaris not to be the same guy. How would Brandon expect to play ahead of Ian Williams, Sean Cwynar, Big Lou, Kona, even Hafis [another hard-working "pro"] if he's a medium-effort practice "gamer"? I VERY much admire that the staff doesn't elevate "gamers" just on the potential of the eyeball test.

Best wishes to Brandon... maybe he's finally gotten it.

He won Scout team player of the year this past year...if he didn't practice hard I don't think he would have won the award.

So it was "too little, too late" apparently for Brandon. And he'd gotten himself behind Cwynar, Nix, and even Kona, so he couldn't surface on the charts.... too bad, but he sees the error now it seems.

Ya you are correct. Best of luck to him.

I am not one to "stir the pot." My concerns w/ my ND family will always be genuine & out of love. These guys are my brothers not jersey #s.

NDTex at Her Loyal Sons just posted a good article regarding Newman's comments.

I would bet my left nut that Newman had something to do with the speculated locker room "division" last season.

Congrats to Brandon!

Where he at?

Where he at?

Ball St.

 

[charlyp123]

well, he did say he was a gamer. Though the replay shows that the INT was really a gift, ball bounced to him. I guess every dog has his day.

Playing now on ESPN for Ball St against UCF
