Sports Thread #1 For 12/10/09: God Bless You Brian Kelly

You are going to there Brian Kelly, who has coached Cincinnati's football team to a 12-0 record this season and a berth in the Sugar Bowl, will be the new coach at Notre Dame, two sources have told ESPN's Chris Mortensen. Neither Notre Dame nor Cincinnati has confirmed that Kelly has accepted an offer to coach the Fighting Irish, and Kelly could not be reached for comment, but the sources tell Mortensen that Kelly is Notre Dame's choice to replace the fired Charlie Weis. Shame that the minute the press conference starts, he is already on the hot seat.

Sports Thread #1 For 9/12/09: BS BCS Football- The Forcier Is With Your; Sooner Lose Than Expected

Well, heart breaks for both Notre Dame and Oklahoma State. Awful lost for Boone Pickens team, as all the happiness from beating Georgia last week is gone, as they lose to Houston at home 45-35. Meanwhile Lou Holtz probably won't see his team in the BS BCS this year, as Tate Forcier become a hero as Michigan wins 38-34 over their bitter rivals. USC vs Ohio State to come.

(Photo from goal.com) It appears that Ronaldinho's house was mysteriously robbed this past Monday night Lots of things to go through. We start off with a very unfortunate situation for Ronaldinho. His house in Italy apparently was robbed : Thieves broke into Ronaldinho's house and made off with thousands of dollars worth of goods but left behind the football star's Golden Ball trophy, Italian media reports said Wednesday. Ronaldinho was at home in Brazil when the burglary took place early Tuesday morning, Corriere della Sera reported. Four thieves stole mainly jewelry and watches, Corriere reported. Even more bizarre is the fact that this same house that Ronaldinho currently lives in has been broken in previously two times by former owners. Weird and unfortunate indeed. Charles Weis guarantees that questions about his job will be placed on hold until next season, as Notre Dame finally ends their 15 year bowl drought by beating Hawaii 49-21. Why search Plaxico's Burress...

Sports Thread #2 for 11/26/08: After Maui Victory, North Carolina Will Be Hard To Beat This Year

Photo from Associated Press It is no question that the Big East this year will be the dominant conference in college basketball this season. When you have at least three of the top four teams in the country, such as Connecticut, Louisville and Pittsburgh, it is a testament to just how tremendous the conference is, from its coaches all the way to even its walk on players. But the team above those three tonight is not for the Big East of course. North Carolina showed why they are the sound favorites to give Roy Williams a second title at Chapel Hill, as they dispatched the number four Big East team in Notre Dame, who just isn't your average number four conference team. The Fighting Irish, unlike their troubled football counterparts, are an elite team and will be a force to be reckoned with in the loaded East. Hence their number eight ranking of course. And in tonight's 102-87 lost to the Tar Heels in the Maui Invitational Final, it can be said that Mike Brey's side was clearl...
