A few things to post.

In the alumni notes, I see that Toree Morris was cut by the Toronto Raptors. Never a good thing for your future to be cut from one of the worst teams in the NBA.

That same article says that the NCAA is looking at financial incentives to encourage better collegiate athletic graduation rates — for the schools. Wouldn’t want to actually reward the student-athletes or anything.

A nice article on Rod Rutherford now with the Steeler practice squad.

A rant about the return of fair-weather PSU fans to the ‘Burgh (hat tip to jman).

I will completely concur with Lee’s comments regarding the Virginia Tech, Orange sleeve look.

… last night, our old buddies down in Virginia Tech almost, but not quite, unseated Oregon in having the ugliest freakin’ uniforms in college football.

What the f#ck was up with that single-orange-sleeve crap. Is Marcus Vick going to come out next week in a Florence Griffith Joyner one-legged unitard? Puh-lease.

Thank you Nike, for once more lowering the bar.

Finally a fantastic story about how Notre Dame football is now seeking to improve it’s past.

“Although we have great hopes for the future of our football program, Notre Dame has greater hopes for a facet of that program that is far more important to our university: our past,” Notre Dame athletic director Kevin White said in a press conference Monday. “With that in mind, we will be making improvements, additions, and revisions that, like our history itself, have been 118 years in the making.”

Notre Dame’s history, perhaps the most storied in sports, already includes such legends as Knute Rockne, George Gipp, and Joe Theismann. However, once the program’s history has been revised, it will also include Hall of Famers such as Bo Jackson, formerly of Auburn; Archie Griffin, formerly of Ohio State; and Red Grange, formerly of Illinois.

“All these Hall of Fame players are definitely worthy of going down as the greatest in history,” Notre Dame coach Charles Weis said. “And since the College Football Hall of Fame is right down the road from us here in South Bend, we can easily make sure that the history they go down in is Notre Dame’s.”

You knew it was only a matter of time.
