Brian Kelly is the new Notre Dame head coach, I for one love the hire. I think he will bring a toughness to our defense that i've never seen since becoming a ND fan in 1995(8 years old). I think next season is going to depend on the health of our QB Dayne Crist who tore his ACL in the Washington State game. I don't know record wise how much we will improve because of Dayne's injury but I would be happy with an 8-4 record as a building block.

Leaving in West Virginia I get to see a lot of UC and they were a really outstanding team on offense and brought a physicality on defense that would of made the Irish defense piss themselves. Lets go Irish!!!!

Congratulations to Alabama HB Mark Ingram on winning the Heisman. First Crimson Tide player to take home the trophy. Ingram beat out Gerhart by just 28 points, the closest margin in Heisman history.

1. HB Mark Ingram - Alabama
2. HB Toby Gerhart - Stanford
3. QB Colt McCoy - Texas
4. DE Ndamukong Suh - Nebraska
5. QB Tim Tebow - Florida
6. HB CJ Spiller - Clemson
7. QB Kellen Moore - Boise State

Since turn of the century, Heisman Trophy winners that have gone on to play in National Championship are 1-7. Only winner is QB Matt Leinart in...2004, I think. Not great news for Alabama, but I don't think they can beat Texas.

Colt McCoy was out with only 4:27 played in the game. OUCH! Gilbert successed to do a great come back to 21-24 and he fumbled in own 5 yards. I had Lee Corso support but I failed. Great victory Shaun !!!

Colt McCoy is soft. I can't believe he didn't come back in that National Championship Game, but I also don't know what the injury was besides seeing it once in a replay (I tuned in midway through the 1st qtr). Then again, he's got bigger and better things to look forward to... maybe it was smart to sit it out and cash in when he's drafted. The sports fan in me hates that, but the reality is, I can't blame him.

I don't think it's fair to call Colt McCoy soft because he didn't return with a shoulder injury to his throwing arm. The doctors probably told him, and the coaches that he can't play. I'm sure he tried to come back and play, but he wasn't allowed. This isn't professional football, and this guy has a bright future in front of him. He's going to have a chance of making millions. Does anyone know what happened to him? If it's a separated shoulder or dislocated shoulder, he can't throw the football.

Also, if his shoulder was hurt enough where if he had played, he would have hurt the team anyways, then he did the best thing for the team. Is he soft because he sat out instead of playing through a shoulder injury to his right arm, his throwing arm, knowing that playing would hurt the team more than help it? Sometimes, playing injured does more harm, and if McCoy played with his shoulder injury, I'm almost certain Texas would have had no shot at winning.
