  That's fantastic. I was thinking about going, but now I may just stay home and watch on TV.

  Great news about Versus although I'll just DVR the classic games as that's the 1st full day of the NCAA tourney. I'll definitely watch the Spring Game live on April 16th.

  I have two of those games on a DVD set and I don't know I can watch the "Bush Push" game again, makes me sick to even think about it.
• Tobias Fünke

  

  Yeah I will probably fight a child if I watch it in its entirety.

  No doubt. I was exhausted with no voice after watching that game. No way I could watch it again.

  Same here. It's up there with '93 BC and 1991 Orange Bowl loss to Colorado.

  Why the fuck show that game on St. Patty's Day?! What kind of a cruel joke is that?! There are TONS of other games to choose from...and they pick THAT as one of the three?
  
  Also, I'll admit it, I cried at the end of the Bush Push game. I cannot, in good conscious, watch that game again. Not to mention the fact that I will be completely hammered all day long on St. Patty's day, and probably won't be able to properly work the remote control.

  All those games are NBC games so maybe that has something to do with it. Otherwise, the 2006 comeback at Michigan State should be shown.

  Not 2011 related but Zbikowski had his 2nd pro fight tonight and won by a first round knockout. I would love to see him fight Ochocinco.

  The state of Indiana fined ND $77K and found them responsible for declan Sullivan's death after that tragic camera lift accident.

  No surprise and ND's president, Fr. John Jenkins already came out from day one saying ND was at fault. I'm sure it's not going to be public info but the Sullivan family will and should be well compensated by ND.
• karen lotz

  

  I'm surprised the fine was that small.
• rock_knutne

  ^^^^Yeah, seems kind of minimal.
  
  I guess what I was saying that it wasn't surprising the state would find them at fault.
• karen lotz

  

  Oh yeah, not a surprise at all. I was thinking the fine would be in the millions.

  Little more information on what the violations were.

  
  IOSHA cited Notre Dame with the most serious safety violation allowable under Indiana law.

  If I'm Notre Dame I'm writing them a blank check and throwing like $2mil in Sullivan's Memorial fund.

  Any of you get a chance to see George Atkinson's senior year highlight video? It has to be one of the most impressive I've ever seen. This kid is FAST. I have to think he'll be returning kicks at the very least this year.

  New Adidas campaign. Katy Perry should have gotten a little more air time and I could do without the skateboarding. It is kind of funny that Michigan wasn't included and I'm pretty sure they started the whole "All In" thing.

  What is America's obsession with that no-talent hack? He's not even naturally beautiful.
