2 Days 2 Go

To this point in the excruciatingly long preseason, I've generally been able to contain my excitement for the approaching home opener, and now, the long wait is over. That's right, the first sightings of the Goodyear Blimp around South Quad yesterday marked the first of the many pregame rituals around campus. I don't care if its still Thursday, its never to early to start pregaming.

In other news, UHND put up a nice youtube package comparing Armando Allen and Golden Tate to Raghib Ishmael; it may be a little early for this esteemed comparison (says the guy who claims football in South Bend starts Wednesday afternoon), but at least you'll be able to check out some sick highlight clips.

For all of our loyal fans who couldn't sleep without knowing what the Quote of the Week is, here you go:

“Two people running into each other at full speed doesn’t seem like a natural thing, but you do it and you see yourself on film owning somebody and you like it. It looks cool. You’re like, ‘Wow, I just dominated that kid. I want to do it again.’” — linebacker Anthony Vernaglia
