    He won't. Clausen will be a great one. Brady Quinn, 2003: 157/332, 1,831 yards, 9 TD, 15 INT (13 times sacked, ND's record 5-7) Jimmy Clausen, 2007: 138/245, 1,254 yards, 7 TD, 6 INT (34 times sacked, ND's record 3-9) Jimmy will be more than fine.

    Love it. I don't have class that day so I will be able to play VWR lottery all day.

    In terms of rankings? All I know about ESPN is that they have decent writeups of all of the commits. More than I would have expected, actually. I meant in terms of quality, maybe even accuracy. Would I be correct in valuing Scout more than ESPN (and of course Rivals more than ESPN). I don't know anything about ESPN's new recruiting team, but they rated Clemson's class No. 2 in the nation when neither Scout nor Rivals had them in the top 10, so I'm going to ignore them for the time being.

    I think I'm going to spring for MLB.TV this year...assuming that the whole 'me getting Cubs games even though they're technically in my blackout area' continues.

    Oh darn, now all we have is Jonas Gray. :wink:

    Notre Dame clobbers Seton Hall 95-69 on the road behind 22 and 13 by the awesome Luke Harangody along with 21 from Kyle McAlarney. 17-4, 7-2, and the next game will be the biggest of the season as Marquette comes to town Saturday and the Irish look to avenge their blowout loss at the Bradley Center.

    For all the crap (some deserved, some not) that Charlie Weis received for his "new definition of commitment" after last year's fiasco, it worked brilliantly. 24 verbals and only one defector, quickly replaced by Lewis-Moore. I've seen plenty of articles mentioning that the 23 are excited to turn ND around and have talked to each other a lot this last year. It'll be fun to watch. Let's hope for 24. Milton Knox

    It's definitely possible. I rooted for the Braves out of geography as a little kid (though admittedly knew less than nothing about baseball), moved to Indiana at age 10, and eventually picked up the Cubs, and it wasn't something I set out to do. Atlanta's just another team to me now - though I do like Chipper and Andruw Jones, the only two Braves I really remember watching prior to my switch. Everyone else in this thread is right. Switching teams is not something that just happens. Eventually, you fall in love with a team, whether you can help it or not.

    I'm disappointed in Republicans this year. They really are going to have this come down to a borderline-loony preacher and a RINO? I might vote Obama after all.

    I haven't heard much about them. They seem to be one of those teams that always seems to coach their recruits up well no matter where their class ranks, though.

    Does anyone like that clown? How does he keep his job. You ask anyone for the worst referees in college basketball and odds are he is one of the names they are gonna say. As bad as he is, he's still better than Valentine. Valentine is infamous in Notre Dame circles for calling a blocking foul on Colin Falls in last year's NCAA tournament loss to Winthrop after the Irish were already near midcourt and about ready to run their offensive set after an apparent defensive stop. The key moment in the game, I believe Winthrop was up 4 or 6 when it happened. He is a terrible ref. Hightower actually came and reffed a Ball State/CMU game earlier this season. I'm not sure how that happened.

    Just found out that ND replaced Omar Hunter (stolen from us by Urban Scum, and actually the event that pushed Florida past ND on Rivals's recruiting rankings) with a top 200 defensive end by the name of Kapron Lewis-Moore. Excellent.

    We all know Notre Dame's story. QB Dayne Crist, WR Michael Floyd, S Jamoris Slaughter, and a host of great commits make this class, barring any Greg Little flake-outs, the best one ND has had perhaps since Lou's heyday. Rivals.com has their class #2, just behind Urban Scum at Florida. Ball State is pulling some good commitments too. After losing Indiana's Mr. Football, QB Paul McIntosh, to Army (???), the Cardinals regrouped and pulled in a 2/3 star guy from Texas named Kelly Page who will be the heir apparent to Nate Davis. He originally committed to Oregon before the Ducks got another QB and Page decided to explore his options. Never did I think I'd see the day where we got a Pac-10 defector. The Cardinals also have pulled in a host of decent MAC-level talent. Brady Hoke may not be able to coach but he can sure recruit with the best of them.

    Damn I forgot I went to an Indians/Tigers game at old Cleveland Municipal when I was less than a year old, a fact I probably never would've known if not for my baby book. I always forget to factor that in.

    I thought it was pretty clear his ankle was bothering him too. He didn't play very well at all. Even on the final drive he made a couple of mistakes that I'm not used to seeing him make.
  16. Andy
    Or against Carolina in his second for that matter. No one remembers how Brady threw a key INT when his team was about to clinch the game, which the Panthers quickly turned into a lead. /biased Panthers fan

    Your father's yacht is smaller than my father's house!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

    I'd say 2004 was fairly eventful too. Chip and Steve, Walker's Superman slide, Sammy passes (or was it ties?) Banks and then Alou wins the game on the next swing, Maddux's 300th, four 30-homer guys on one team, etc.
  19. Andy
    Sounds excellent.

    ND wins 89-80 despite DePaul shooting 49 percent from the floor and 48 percent from three. The unbelievable Luke Harangody puts up 29 and 14. ND has now won 33 straight at home and is a solid 2nd in the Big East at 6-2.
  21. Andy
    ND 46, DePaul 35 at the half. Luke Harangody has 19 and 9 already.

    Ball State is now 3-17 and must win 6 of their last 11 games just to equal last year's worst season in program history. Man, I'm so happy I'm the school paper's beat writer.

    I watched the entire game, but spent a lot of it bitching to a friend of mine that the Cubs were going to blow their last chance to get into the divisional race and the season was over and blah blah blah. When Ramirez hit the homer, I went completely insane, and she still hasn't let me forget that I basically threw in the towel on the season before that happened.

    I miss him, but it's kind of cool to have somebody else have to deal with this "When's he coming back??? OMGZ" crap for once.
