Mack’s practice thoughts

Posted by Nickel Rover on March 10th, 2010 under Basketball

Football:

I wasn’t paying attention to the defensive line so somehow I failed to notice Mack’s current leaning towards Sam Acho as your starting 3-tech in 2010. I had assumed Jones, Sacho, Okafor and Randall as the 4 best linemen but I forgot that Sacho was the one who moved inside last year in passing situations.

He’s really a sacrificing leader if he’s willing to switch to tackle in his senior year when he’s poised to

The Wonderlic scores have been leaked and when something like this happens, I pretty much always blame the British and Germans.

Cory Haim. Not Alive.

Posted by Scipio Tex on March 10th, 2010 under Uncategorized

I was saddened to hear the news of Cory’s passing. If you grew up in my generation, Cory was a constant presence, a source of strength, a touchstone for all of us, a fond remembrance.

Notre Dame Ready For A Seismic Shakup?

Posted by srr50 on March 9th, 2010 under Football

All the recent talk about proposed conference expansion has centered around Texas being a prime target for either the Pac 10 or Big 10. Now the biggest domino in the BCS is indicating that maybe they are ready to look to make a safe fall.

Touchdown Jesus may send the signal that Notre Dame is
willing to play nice with others.

The talk of the Big East basketball tournament is that the Fighting Irish

Around the Rivals

Posted by Nickel Rover on March 8th, 2010 under Baseball

Football:

Boomer And Sooner dig into spring football with NateHeupel pausing to chastize Longhorn fans for our disappointment in an 8th seeded basketball team and our hopes for Garrett Gilbert. OU fan knows well that 2nd year quarterbacks never amount to too much…

He rates their DE group as the “most proven in the conference” which is another way of phrasing how I would put it, “inevitably the 2nd best behind the Sacho and co.” Their

    Nate, God bless you, but let’s Occam Razor this here bitch. Do you really think the NCAA just has a bone to pick with Mike Balogun? I mean is he on some federal no-fly list, or no football list we’re not aware of? Is he Al Queda? Is he Al

    Congrats on a cute daughter, I wish I had read something in that post-mortem that would indicate a viable strategy for paying back those freaking Baylor Bears.
    I don’t suppose Bradley could move over on Tweety Carter? J’Covan Brown should be well rested for this next game and Hamilton only played 22 minutes so we’d better

    Scholarship contract, I believe, and implied contract via the NCAA and member institutions. If you haven’t already, read the Andy Oliver case. Fascinating stuff. I’m trying to get Ripley to let me (teach me how to) upload a link to a copy of the brief.
