Notre Dame (football only discussion)

Affirmative. Wiping the spit off my screen right now.

Blame Ty Willingham is all I've got then. After that, blame Rudy.

What in the fuck does "Shake down the thunder" even mean?

Way to stick yourself out there as a geezer.

No really, I have no fucking clue either.

Who fucking knows......

SHAKE DOWN THE VIDEOGRAPHER.

Too soon? You fucking bet it is. How does Notre Lame use a phrase like shake down anything to promote their football program...ever?

That's like Pedo State using the following slogan.....

SHOWERED IN GLORY!

And I hate using anything from a scUM site but.....

Shouldn't there be a camera tower on there too?

Just above the '125' is a tribute to their home attendance figure of 80,795, which is slightly less than the 81,112 fans that were at the Buckeye Spring Game in lousy weather on Saturday.

:osu:

So here is my rendition of the Penn State shirt for 2012.

Funny how the ND football program gets more and more irrelevant each year while "The Shirt" receives more and more hype.

I guess they nixed the t-shirt that featured the slogan, You'll Know Us By The Trail of Dead We Leave.

Shake down the tower...

Notre Dame QB Tommy Rees Jailed

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Notre Dame quarterback Tommy Rees has been arrested and jailed on a preliminary felony charge following a confrontation with officers early Thursday, police said.

Rees, 19, was arrested on charges of resisting law enforcement, battery to law enforcement, minor consumption and public intoxication, St. Joseph County Police Sgt. Bill Redman said.

Everett Golson, Andrew Hendrix, Gunner Kiel, come on down!

Many UM fans see this as bad news. Kelly has continued to play Rees despite handing the ball over constantly.

According to Captain Phil Trent with South Bend police, officers were called to the house on a complaint of a noisy party. Officers saw five people jumping a fence to run away and they chased them down, catching Notre Dame quarterback Tommy Rees and linebacker Carlo Calabrese in the middle of Notre Dame Avenue.

Brian Kelly is said to have offered the police officers scholarships..

I'd love to know what the alleged probable cause in chasing down and tackling a citizen. "Suspicion of being at a loud party?"

While it is not advisable to run when the cops are around, just doing it is not breaking any law.

I hope somebody yelled "See Terry v Ohio" as they were running

I would assume a loud party violates some sort of noise ordinance. Also, it is not unlikely that the police hollered for them to stop. Failure to obey a police order is problematic.

Not that police don't sometimes abuse their power, but I have always been one for putting the handcuffs on folks who violate the law more so than on the police who must apprehend them.

The cops were responding to a noise complaint, and Rees was breaking the law by drinking as a 19-year old.

He then ran away, and reportedly kneed the cop in the chest, knocking the wind out of him, resulting in them both falling to the ground. And you call that "tackling a citizen"?

I doubt the felony charge will stick (expecting that he'll plead guilty to public intoxication and resisting arrest to avoid the felony), but I don't see any inappropriate behavior by the cops, based on what's been reported to this point.

Of course, if there is no other viable QB starter for this fall (perhaps a guy with more 'escapabillty'?), Rees may want to take his chances with a South Bend jury.

How this story ends...

For this reason [e.g., insufficient evidence, withdrawal of complaint, mistaken identity, you name it], prosecution is unable to proceed. Rees avoids prosecution.
