  7. Mark,

    I recently wrote a article on Jimmy Clausen, and how this year more than any other he has the tools and weapons to succeed. As a senior Notre Dame writer, i would appreciate it if you get the time, if you could have a look over it. Thanks in advance

  8. Hi Mark, well gosh...I'm flattered to be asked. What would you like me to do? While I do write professionally, I've never done any work on a sports blog before (with the exception of chiming in on Bleacher Report, that is...)

  9. I realized the BCS is better than a play-off, and decided it needed to be defended. I'd love your input.

    I'd appreciate it if you had the chance.

  10. Hey Mark, some more Irish athletics covered here. Take a look if you can... Thanks!
