Michael Wilson on his new OL coach: “In our first meeting, he said, ‘I’m not going to do any monkey business. We’re going to do our thing. We’re going to get better. This is how we’re going to do it. If you don’t like it, tough.’ I liked it.” (Tulsa World)

Realignment

Is Notre Dame gaming the system by not being in a conference? While we’re here, Berry raises a good point about the Playoff. Why not just give three conference champs a bye and let the fourth and fifth play for the fourth slot in the Playoff? Seems like there would be a lot less angst. (NewsOK)
