mdrothst mdrothst posted 5/7/2008 from www.journalgazette.net

Kept from going on the road due to NCAA rules prohibiting college football head coaches from doing so, Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis had some extra time on his hands this spring. The Irish coach decided to give some time to us for an exclusive interview Tuesday morning, part of which can be found on...

Catching Up With: Former Notre Dame Offensive Lineman Lindsay Knapp

mdrothst mdrothst posted 5/5/2008 from www.journalgazette.net

In the process of talking with people about Lou Holtz, we spent a few minutes chatting with former Notre Dame offensive lineman Lindsay Knapp. If you remember, Knapp was a College & Pro Football Newsweekly All-American as an offensive tackle in 1992 and played with the Kansas City Chiefs from 1993-95 and then the Green Bay Packers from 1995-96. He was a fifth-round pick of the Chiefs ...

Rudy Gets A Distribution Deal
Rudy Gets A Distribution Deal

mdrothst mdrothst posted 5/6/2008 from www.journalgazette.net

In our time covering Notre Dame, few names are more divisive than Rudy Ruettiger. Rudy, of course, is the walk-on who made all Notre Dame walk-ons famous after the 1993 film starring Sean Astin as the diminutive football player. An interesting note came across the desk about Rudy's continued attempt at selling health drinks. Oh, Rudy's company sells at $.55 a share.

Another Day -- Another Interesting Comment From Charlie Weis
Another Day -- Another Interesting Comment From Charlie Weis

mdrothst mdrothst posted 5/8/2008 from www.journalgazette.net

We're a little late to this today as it started popping up this afternoon on various blogs and message boards and even the Detroit newspapers, but a YouTube video (check it out on the right if you can deal with the dizzying camerawork the first five minutes) has Notre Dame football coach Charlie Weis speaking at the Blue-Gold game brunch.

Tim Brown, Stock Analyst

mdrothst mdrothst posted 5/13/2008 from www.journalgazette.net

We've seen former NFL players become television hosts (Tiki Barber), sports analysts (pick a number) and gone into the professional sector. This, though, we weren't expecting. Former Notre Dame wide receiver and Heisman Trophy winner Tim Brown is now a stock analyst.

Win Notre Dame Stuff, Help Brayden

mdrothst mdrothst posted 5/14/2008 from www.journalgazette.net

Initially, we thought this might be in relation to Brady Quinn, whose given name is Brayden and is from a suburb of Columbus, Ohio. Then we read more. And we couldn't help but point this out because seeing kids suffer in any way is, well, awful.

More With Tim Brown, Stock Analyst

mdrothst mdrothst posted 5/14/2008 from www.journalgazette.net

So this Tim Brown stock thing, it's not a fluke. Brown's initial pick of Microsoft as a stock to buy was $29.39 a share at Friday's close. As of 2:45 p.m. Wednesday, the Bill Gates-owned company was up to $30.25 a share, meaning you've made almost a dollar a share if you listened to the former Notre Dame Heisman Trophy winner.

Part of our Memorial Day every year is going down to cover the Indianapolis 500, one of the many things we end up doing in the offseason, and one of the "celebrities" that showed up for the race was former USC and Oakland/Los Angeles Raiders running back Marcus Allen.

Tom Hammond comes through your television sets during every Notre Dame home game each fall, bringing the Irish to you in High Definition (or Regular Definition if you're still watching that). Now, he'll be on your Madden screen, too.

Weis Adds Responsibility Starting Monday

mdrothst mdrothst posted 5/10/2008 from www.journalgazette.net

Charlie Weis is heading to Washington. Kind of. No, he's not taking over the Redskins and he won't be Washington state in a coaching capacity until Ty Bowl II in October against the University of Washington.

More Weis And SpyGate

The Wizard of Odds found this 5/16/2008 on www.journalgazette.net

This is what it could come to for Charlie Weis. For the rest of the SpyGate investigation -- which we're convinced isn't going away so fast, despite what Roger Goodell may tell you -- Weis' name will pop up.

Pressure? What Pressure? I'm Parking Cars

mdrothst mdrothst posted 5/17/2008 from www.journalgazette.net

Joey Kemp needs to lose his mind for a few minutes. The Notre Dame All America candidate understands the pressure of playing goalie in lacrosse, facing balls harder than rocks fired at you at speeds up to 100 mph.

Brown Likes Pepsi Products

mdrothst mdrothst posted 5/21/2008 from www.journalgazette.net

The third column of Tim Brown, Stock Analyst popped up yesterday and this time, the former Notre Dame wide receiver is recommending soft drinks, specifically Pepsi products (stock symbol: PBG). Brown liked the pick when it closed Friday at $33.38. Brown's picks, though, haven't done so well.

Now that Kevin White is safely in Durham, N.C., and announced as Duke's next athletic director, Notre Dame can focus on replacing the man who had been running the Irish since 2000.
