Hater of the Week

Congratulations to Kirk Dymbrowski for winning this weeks Hater of the Week Award! In his comment on Bleacher Report he claims that Manti Te'o is overrated. In his "professional" assessment of Manti Te'o he claims, 

"I mean I seem to recall numerous plays where he was in the backfield and a bazillion mph, only to fly past the QB and not get a sack, or like a superman just jump over and around people into the backfield, to grab the HB for a 4yrd loss, only to whiff, and have the HB change direction and scoot out a 6yrd gain."

Congrats to Kirk on his thorough analysis of Manti Te'o and his 129 tackle season. 

Irish 2012 Recruiting Class Swells to 12

As of today, Brian Kelly and staff have assembled a dozen recruits for the 2012 class. Although this class is no where near finalized, it shaping up to be one of the more impressive classes in the country. Currently, ESPN has Notre Dame ranked as the 14th best recruiting class in the nation. As the college football season finally gets under way, I expect to see more top talent in the nation commit to the Irish. As usual, the USC game will be very important for recruiting as many of the Irish's top targets will be visiting. Here are a list of the current Irish commits for the class of 2012.
