Adam over at InTheBleachers.net has informed me that his interview with Phil Steele is up and running in podcast form. You can find the interview here. Phil gets into ND at the 24 minute mark, but he also discusses The Big Televen, Big East, Non-BCS teams, and the Big 12 during the 'cast, so it's all worth a listen. Check it out! ...

@NDHFC, should Adams have signed the Alien and Sedition Acts? Did that effectively ruin his chance of a 2nd term? # Seems like forever since an Irish player was considered a "top 25" anything. http://bit.ly/b56AV # BC's only QB with any exp is gone: http://bit.ly/pp1YB and their best LB is definitely out due to his cancer fight: http://bit.ly/ZSUnB # Rivals/Doc Saturday quotes HLS today, check it out # SD wants Harangody back. Gotta agree, hope he comes back, breaks records, and then goes ...
Friday Roundup: The “Pre-Season” Edition
Phil Steele is practically out, what with early releases at various bookstores and "leaks" from those who get advanced copies from the man himself. Also, on Monday, our buddy Adam will have a podcast available on his site, InTheBleachers.net, and he promised to hit up Phil for his thoughts on ND, so make sure you check it out. We'll post a link to the 'cast once it's up as well. Anyway, given the way "news" is suddenly developing about college football, and top 25 pre-season polls are ...
Lou Holtz Autographs Baby???
Seriously, what the heck is happening in this picture from the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette? I'm a huge fan of Lou Holtz, but if I had to pick having him autograph my baby or autograph my drink napkin, I'm picking the napkin. I'd never get the kid to stay still in the frame. ...
@HerLoyalSons asks @NDHFC about… Geo Politics!
Lots of talk these days about the abuse or "over-extension" of power in our government. Lots of talk about how the founding fathers never intended for the US to turn out this way. Lots of counter talk about how the founding fathers kinda did. We're curious about what sort of positions Coach Weis might take in the matter, so we ask... @NDHFC, should Adams have signed the Alien and Sedition Acts? Did that effectively ruin his chance of a 2nd term? We'll let you know just as soon as ...

Friday Roundup: The “Perfection” Edition
I bought a grill this week, and while God didn't bless be by allowing me to win 232 million dollars (a challenge I made all that much more difficult for God by not buying a ticket - free will for the win!(?)), he did give me the weather today, and his work will be honored by the consumption of jerk chicken and tequila lime corn on the cob. Kick. Ass. The Roundup: Hey, look, Dr. Saturday just made the point that ND's best chance in a while to defeate SoCal (on paper) doesn't look so good ...
Contract Honored
When Ty Willingham was fired by Notre Dame, pundits from all sorts of media outlets cried, "They aren't honoring their contract with Willingham!" They claimed this was the first time ND didn't honor a contract with a head football coach. They claimed ND was racist. They claimed that ND was no longer special and winning was now all that mattered at ND. They claimed a lot of things because, in more ways than one, they don't have a clue. That, or they, being paid columnists, were just hoping ...
They’re Nothing But A Bunch of Pansies!
There's simply no spinning this. The final regular-season ballots in the USA TODAY Coaches' Poll will no longer be made public beginning with the 2010 football season, according to a person with knowledge of the information who didn't want to be identified because he wasn't authorized to comment before an announcement today from the American Football Coaches Association. Make no mistake about it, this was all done in order for the coaches to be as self-serving as possible. Coaches ...

@NDHFC, Do you think The Rock or Con Air was a more believable movie? I found myself stretching my imagination a bit for The Rock. # @TriceraPops Missed Gilmore dismissing Clausen, but overachieving underdog would be a welcome role for JC in reply to TriceraPops # Nobody ever says 'Gymnasium' anymore. I'm bringing it back. I hope the Irish really hit the gymnasium hard this summer. # Charlie is waiting til camp starts to name captains. Is he waiting for certain guys to fall into that role? ...
