Friday Roundup: The Holy Crap Is Penn State In Trouble Edition

I’m leaving on a jet plan and I don’t know if I’ll be back again (flying back home out of Philly).  In my rush to pack, I’d nearly forgotten to post today, but then I saw what will now be the feature item: Penn State going all Felonious.

All Ur Txt Is Pwned

Or something like that.  I don’t text.  There are borders that I will never cross, just ask any Bahamian customs official, and texting is one of them.

Notre Dame Wins!

No, I don’t mean it in that ‘we are scrimmaging ourselves and so we have to win’ joke kind of way.  Okay, maybe partially.

And a Little Bit of Defense Too.

(get it, that rhymed with the headline Offense U, my last post.  i am witty and hilarious.  no more rhyming and i mean it…)
Super Stud Defensive End/Linebacker prospect Darius Fleming committed to Charlie’s rapidly-growing and huge-by-this-time-of-year-standards recruiting class of 2008 this weekend at the Blue-Gold game in South Bend.  Apparently Darius had made up his [...]

Offense U

C-Dub and ND landed another very-top recruit today in California’s Dayne Crist.  The LA Times is reporting the pending commitment (press conference tonight) here: 
http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-spw-hsreport19apr19,1,3605717.story?ctrack=1&cset=true
Though recruiting rankings are still not yet published, it would be hard to believe that the top QB in talent-rich California wouldn’t be somewhere near the top of those lists.

We started calling [...]
