Makes sense. Cooks coached cb's at wisconsin before he came here. Chuck Martin is Chuck Martin. Dude was a head coach at GV. Kelly has a baller defensive staff, no doubt.

I LOVE the fact that Martin is safety and Cooks is CB...

So much experience at such a crucial position. Diaco can handle the backers. And Elston can hold the line down.

Makes so much sense to me.

Only reason Urban was at practice was to do a special for ESPN. He's going to Michigan next.

Aslong as Hoke doesn't **** the bed, he'll get 4 years atleast...probably 5. Urban won't be gone from the game that long. He'll be coaching in 2012 somewhere...it won't be long before he gets the itch, he knows he could be one of footballs legends.

He was also at ND for the coaching clinic; he was a guest speaker.

Yup, the primary reason he was there was to be the featured speaker at the coaches clinic. ESPN just happened to tack on this little college tour thing for him while he was up this way.

Anyways, let's get off the Meyer topic, the chances of him coaching at ND again within the next 5 years are slim to none. His next stop will likely be OSU in 2012 or 2013 depending on how quick the NCAA moves in slamming Tressel.

I say over 17.

The defense is looking good, but Kelly is going to try and make it entertaining for fans.

He tried that last year, but the guys weren't quite ready... We should see a much more fun Blue and Gold game.

Did you expect a early entry player to not get pushed around? I

Ha yea, it would be a little disconcerting if our veteran OL wasn't pushing around an 18 year old with no real technique to speak of.

Finally, some more practice updates to read about, seems like forever since they've been on the field and it's only been 3 days.

Ha this one is terrible, Kapron even retweeted it's terrible, but it made me spit out my coffee at work so I had to post it:

More notes from today:

- ND gained a new Walk-on RB from it's tryout: Former Illinois LB Tyler Plantz, who played for Providence Catholic.

- Another addition was WR Ryan Liebscher

- ND has some new adidas gear, shown here with Dayne wearing new tech-fit pants: Ryan Grooms's photos | Plixi

- Also, Trevor Robinson dropped 15 pounds of fat this off-season and added 15 pounds of muscle, per Warinner. "He's a whole different animal."

- Rivals asked OL coach Ed Warinner which back-ups could be trusted to play right now: Christian Lombard, Andrew Nuss and Mike Golic

His dad Ron was an Irish O. Guard from 82-85.

I hope the new tech fit pants come in gold and not just white.
