Should Notre Dame Roll the Dice And Make a Deal with the Devil?
11/19/2009
I live and breath Notre Dame football and nothing in the sports world comes close to it in my mind. I played hockey for years and I love the NHL. I find the NFL boring at times but it is too big to ignore. I like baseball more than the average guy but basketball less so. I think it would be amazing to be a professional golfer and travel the world writing about everything I see. Outside of sports I am heavy into music and have a healthy obsession with the Beatles. I look forward to sharing my opinion with everyone.
I have a degree in Government from St. Lawrence University and I am now working for a company that supplies the NFL, MLB, NHL, NCAA, and thousands of schools and doctors with sports medicine products.
I currently spend my time playing my Gretsch guitar while paying attention to everything that happens in the sports world. Most recently, I have begun writing as a correspondent for Fighting Irish Gameday. Check out the website and Go Irish!
Interesting article. I am a huge Quinn fan and I find myself wondering this sometimes. It didn't seem to be a problem until this year so...
How big was the personal foul on Sergio on the third down play? I was sitting there and I told my girlfriend, "watch UConn is going...
Notre Dame has an uphill battle; it has lost it's mystique, it can't compete with the weather or women at places like Texas, USC an Florida....
JW Nix made a great argument for the suspension of Brady Quinn. However, after I examined it, I felt that Brady Quinn needed a defense attorney.

I don't see how you could have felt beaten at that point.
After the Pitt cornerback got hurt, and taken out of the game, that's then Tate starting going wild.
You guys can score fast and at that time Pitt's secondary was weakening

Thanks for getting back!
Regardless of who one roots for, no one who calls him or herself a fan, wants to see a blown call.
I don't know if the call was blown. I'd like to here at least some explanation from someone.
Why hasn't this been brought up on all the shows with the talking heads?? Are they all afraid of rocking the boat?
And, what about ND? don't they owe it to themselves and to their fans to really investigate this?

Eric,
There's something that needs to be cleared up and you're just the person who can do it.
As you know, I'm not much of a ND fan. However, I'm a college football fan and I'm a fan of sportsmanship and fair play.
I am still not clear about the fumble call in the Pittsburgh game.
If the officials were correct, the ball could have gotten knocked out of Clausen's grasp and he could have still been able to propel it forward.
I wish I could have seen more replays--they weren't shown on the tube.
What baffles me are two things; 1) why has there not been more of an "investigative" process done by the NCAA and 2) If Weis truly believes that there wasn't enough to overturn the call, why hasn't ND made more of a complaint about the call?
I'm not satisfied! I don't know if anyone is. Why hasn't the media explored it.
Without any bias, I'd liked to know what really happened?

Eric,
I thought I might fire up some Trojan fans. Thoughts?
