Ditto. Also, Tom Zbikowski was on the Jim Rome radio show today. For those more techno than me, there probably is the ability to listen to the take through Rome's website.

Thanks to everyone who submitted pictures. For some reason, I'm getting an error message on the video. Anyone else?

BSniz - I just uploaded the video to youtube and it's taking longer than I thought for it to become available. Try checking back later.

Those pictures were great to look at. Thanks for all of your work here at BGS. I will say to Clashmore, you're pictures were stunning. Great color and some amazing shots. I really hope that photography is more than just a hobby for you. Great job!

Thanks Sean. Video should up and running on two formats. I recommend trying the first link.

Why did the O-lineman for both sides wear green? To differentiate the elligible receivers? Some other reason I'm missing? Have they done this in the past?

Added a few more pictures so check out the slideshow again.

The lineman and kickers wore green because they had to play for both sides. There weren't enough lineman to form two full units.

While all of the pictures are terrific, Clashmore Mike's are amazing, especially those photos of Samardzija pitching. Tremendous job, and much appreciated.

That run reminded me way too much of OSU. It doesn't look like a single player touched him the entire run. Not to discount a nice run, but I sure want to see a whole lot less 80+ yard runs against our #1 defense.

Just to clarify, that was our #2 defense.

Awesome pix . . . ditto everyone's comments about Clashmore's. Stunning.

Nice, sneaky pic of AJ Hawk down on the sideline with bride-to-be, Laura Quinn.

The green jerseys signified the players on both teams. Since we only have 8 OL (thanks ty), the linemen had to play for both teams.

Samardzija reminds me of a better looking Randy Johnson on the mound. Cool photos.

USC's Sanchez Arrested for Sexual Assault. Miami of the west?

Hi, I just wanted to jump in and say thank you for posting those pictures and videos. It looks like it was a great weekend! I can't wait for the regular season to start. Go Irish!
panasianbiz | Email | Homepage | 04.27.06 - 4:15 am | #

I would say we rise above slogging around in any "sexual assault" mess alleged, true or false.

ND's recent history on this type of thing is not squeaky clean.

Agreed Sean. As Holtz (I think) once said, "setting your neighbor's house on fire doesn't make your own look any better.

There is plenty of good news surrounding the ND program right now. That's going to be the focus here, not ongoing investigations on the West Coast.

But you have to say something about Keith Jackson retiring ... woah nellie!

Now that is post worthy. "For the win!" Old Fool!

Saw this over at NDNation. My favorite post about Keith Jackson's retirement . . . "Keith Jackson's retiring again . . . Does anyone have a wooden stake?"

Seriously, he just refuses to die. While he may have the greatest voice of any college football announcer ever, he has continually said the damn stupidest things that I have ever heard on tv.....and that includes Paris Hilton interviews.

Hey! No making fun of Paris Hilton! People with brain damage should not be the subject of ridicule.
