Attended a Notre Dame smoker yesterday.

Unlike most years when you get a couple of walk on's and part time players, there were actually six seniors there. They were:

Mike Anello
Sergio Brown
Rasheon McNiel
George West
Robby Parris
James Aldridge

Some tidbits:

-Aldridge is a funny guy. He was sporting a Sonic the Hedgehog shirt.
-Brown is bigger than I thought. Training for ND's pro day. Feels pretty good where he stands right now. Confident he'll get a chance somewhere in the league.
-Robby Parris confirmed that players are losing their lunch during stretching in Camp Kelley. He was hung over as hell though.
-George West is a ringer. He played at our Texas hold em table and ran us out. Very serious about it. When I told Aldridge that West was a ringer he said "Oh, you found out the hard way huh"? Yes, yes I did.
-My buddy asked which player punched Clausen after the UConn game. West immediately started laughing. McNiel looked over to him and told him to give the whole story. Eventually West said that it wasn't anyone on the team, and he'll leave it at that. Sounds like the rumor of it being one of West's friends might be true.
-I asked McNiel if he kicked Jon Tenuta's dog. He started laughing and said that, that's what all the scouts have been asking him also. He said he didn't know who's decision it was with playing time. I mentioned that when Corwin was the DC he seemed to play quite a bit. He said, Corwin wasn't the decision maker. Didn't get the warm and fuzzies from Rasheon about Tenuta.
-Asked McNiel if Brown and Tenuta got along, and he said that they did.
-Anello said his favorite memory at ND was when he came out from under the pile with the ball after Michigan fumbled the kickoff a couple of years ago. His second favorite was a couple years ago against SC in the Coliseum when he was beating the SC coverage team like a rented mule. Apparently Pete Carroll kept yelling at his players "Are you kidding me? We can't even stop that little white boy".
-Brown led us all in a chant of Fuck Michigan.

That's all I can remember right now.

I've attented that one

quite a few times. Wish I could have made it yesterday. Sounds like that one was better than the ones I attended.

Of course the highlight was when

we were in line to get in, the two old guys spent twenty minutes bitching and moaning about how Clausen and Tate let us down by leaving early.
