Quote Jawn

Writer Ben Ford, who has media admission to Irish football practice and blogs on etruth, reports that up until now, the team has been breaking the huddle with "Respect!"

Apparently now Notre Dame has changed their motto to "Get Better!" and that is Thursday's quote of the week. During the portion of yesterday's practice open to the media, Weis made sure to spend a lot of time (aka shouting and glaring) at the offensive line drills. Backup interior linemen Eric Olsen and Matt Carufel as well as freshman left tackle Taylor Dever were getting reps with Sam Young, John Sullivan, and the first team offense. Weis stated that these young players have a chance to play against Michigan if they have a good week in practice; hopefully someone can step up and shore up our blocking woes.

Here's another excerpt from Ford's article:

"Usually the doors to the Loftus Center are propped open when it's warm outside, but it looked like they already tried that and had to shut them, because there were leaves on the artificial turf. "

The normal take on this: damn South Bend weather is already getting cold!
My take on this: could it be that Charlie is installing something we haven't seen before and he wants to make sure no one else sees it? Normally the team only practices in Loftus when the weather is bad, and yesterday was almost a perfect day, hmmm....


Go Irish. Beat Wolverines.
