Miscellaneous

While already having to deal with the intensified studying for finals, I was additionally forced to cope with the fact that my favorite baseball team was involved in the Mitchell report. I have to admit that I never would have guessed former Indian's backup catcher Tim Laker to be involved in the steroid scandal...

For reader's looking for Notre Dame related material, a blogger from the Sporting News dug up a pretty decent video promoting Notre Dame basketball.

In unrelated news, this week's quote comes from MSN writer Eric Hansen:

"Notre Dame’s most perplexing, most forgettable, most exasperating, most weird season in its 119-year football history will not define Charlie Weis as a college head football coach. The days between now and the Sept. 6, 2008 season opener with San Diego State will."

While next year's win / loss record is more likely to shape Weis' image as a head coach, it is true that the coaching staff needs to step up its game this offseason. Several newcomers should be helping him out next year. Check out highlights from Jamoris Slaughter's last game as a high schooler here, and you can watch clips of man/bear Omar Hunter in the Georgia state semi final here (although most of his highlights are from him playing offense).

Hope you all enjoyed the post. Now I need to get back to studying.

Go Irish.
