Texags.com has taken a page out of former "Wrecking Crew" DC Bob Davie’s playbook and has taken to using academics as the reason they can’t recruit top line players to field a competitive team. Strange how this excuse only rears its ugly head when teams are losing. The R.C. Slocum quote about "Choking Chickens" did make me laugh though.
The end result of the NCAA investigation into the Alabama textbook scandal is that Bama will vacate 21 wins that fell between 2005-2007, and serve three years of probation. They will also have to pay a $43,900 fine. Can they just buy a single ticket to a Cal game and call it good? This whole affair is relatively minor in the grand scheme of things and Bama has a good chance of getting those wins back through the appeals process. After all Oklahoma got theirs back through the appeals process after the Big Red Motor Sports scandal that ousted QB Rhett Bomar. Meanwhile the LA Times blasted USC leadership for their lack of action during their ongoing NCAA investigation.
Dr. Saturday gave Notre Dame Head Coach Charlie Weis a little critiquing on his usage of Twitter to this point and suggests he should start a blog instead. I would read it. Hell I'd pay for a subscription. I'd love to know more about what he's thinking.
ead the whole article but the very short version is that they compared Clausen’s numbers to Matthew Stafford's after his Sophomore year at Georgia and the 2008 Notre Dame team to the 2007 Alabama team noting many similarities on both counts. I wonder if Mark May approved this article?

Good Stuff – I'm never surprised by the passion of ND fans but they are all heart and no brains sometimes. Not landing Montana hasn't little to no effect in winning games for 3 maybe 4 yrs. Let talk OL recruits – that matters.
Mark May must know it will be a long season for ND-Haters.

I believe Keller would receive less than $2 due to it being a class-action suit. That's gotta be less than he's making bagging my groceries.
