I think "drunk" is going overboard in describing Yeatman's situation as I have read that he only blew a .02 that night. That said, since it's his 2nd violation i'm not very optimistic in his return. From all accounts Fauria doesn't seem ready so I guess the offense will only become more predictable using an extra tackle as TE in running situations. Hopefully the Irish can still pull off the win and finish September 3-1 which would be what I was optimistic for. I too will be in Muncie for Ball State's homecoming and can't wait to see this team. Any word on whether Dante will be out of the hospital and if they plan on doing something for him before/during the game? Saturday shapes up to be a pretty good day with drinking starting at 9a.m., BSU game at 12, back to the hotel for ND, then out at some bars to watch the Illini game. Dante will probably be released from the hospital this week (may have been for all I know). They're picking out rehabilitation centers for him, and I haven't heard any word of whether he'll be around for the game. I hope he is. That'd be big. Ball State should destroy Kent State. The Flashes gave up 667 yards offense - 414 rushing - to Louisiana-Lafayette last week. Big day for MiQuale Lewis, I'm guessing. I'll be headed to BW3's after the BSU game to watch ND.
