“I’m In Love With Nobody But My Wife”

Monday, July 30th, 2007

ND stud QB recruit Dayne Crist on what Charlie told him about playing time once he gets on campus:
“And, as coach Weis said, verbatim, ‘I’m in love with nobody but my wife,’ meaning there’s always gonna be a chance. The best player is gonna play, and that was something that really stuck with me.”
I think [...]

Notre Dame Set to Kick Wolverine Ass for the Next 25 Years

Monday, July 30th, 2007

Notre Dame and Michigan have teed it up against each other a grand total of 34 times. And 11 of those games occurred before 1950. The series just received a huge boost:
The University of Notre Dame and University of Michigan athletic departments announced jointly on Monday a 20-year contract extension in the Notre [...]

2007 NCAA Football Schedule

Tuesday, July 24th, 2007

I got a ton of mileage using this schedule last year. Each conference is on a different tab so you can immediatly go to the Big Ten tab and see the cream puffs they have all lined up in the first week. Notre Dame is featured in 6 “Games of the week.” [...]

File Him Under ‘IRISH’

Tuesday, July 24th, 2007

This one is huge.  Here’s the story from The Sun Times:
Notre Dame’s football recruiting class, already ranked No. 1 in the nation, added its eighth top- 100 prospect Monday when linebacker Steve Filer of Mount Carmel made an oral commitment to Irish coach Charlie Weis.
Filer, a 6-4, 225-pounder, chose Notre Dame over Ohio State. He [...]

The Gambler

Monday, July 23rd, 2007

Meet Jashaad Gaines, a 6′1″, 200 pound redshirt freshman safety from Las Vegas, Nevada.  Tell us you wouldn’t want to see Corwin Brown drop him into the nickel or dime package, and let him take some chances.  The Gambler could help usher in an era of unpredictable, swarming, and (cliche) nasty defenses. Nobody loses on the nickel slots.

Bringing it Bruton Style

Sunday, July 22nd, 2007

 

 
How about Rivals giving DB the DB a little love after spring practices?  David Bruton is ready for a break-through season, after backing up Ndukwe all of 2006, a campaign in which he recorded 10 solo tackles and 4 assisted tackles.
Bruton is 6′2″, and is carrying about 200-205 pounds.  His height makes him an ideal [...]

Pucker, Pucker, Pucker

Sunday, July 22nd, 2007

Ahhhh, the memories.  Dillingburger coming through in the clutch.  Battle showing why he would soon become an NFL receiver.  Stovall before he hit the weight room.  MSU puckering (be careful, volume kicks in right away) in yet another home game.  The Reverend Jesse Jackson was there to explain it all to The Hammer in the [...]

Weis Drops 30

Friday, July 20th, 2007

I’m shocked not more ND sites/message boards aren’t talking about this. The following is huge for any ND fan:
Thirty pounds lighter than his first trial five months ago thanks to kicking carbs, Charlie Weis testified yesterday.
This time of year we are used to hearing how the players look physically, “Armando looks ripped, Laws has [...]

God Bless Wrigley

Thursday, July 19th, 2007

 JVH and Five-Star are enjoying an absolutely perfect looking day at Wrigley.  The Hammer is slogging through a cloudy day in the office, posting this picture (there’s something wrong with that scenario).  Apparently Barroid crushed one onto Sheffield today, and Five-Star paid homage with a full frontal salute (too much Old Style we presume).  I’m [...]
