Nice to see Sean Salisbury's already got a new gig. He looks good with a beard and the green hat and jacket.

ESPN doesn't hold the rights to Notre Dame football, but they're leading .com with it in March?

ESPN is guaranteed a Notre Dame game with Michigan or USC every other year. And they get first dibs on virtually every road game with the possible exception of the Mountain West and Navy.

spring practice starts this month, i dont see people bitching about all the coverage spring training gets. and the article wasn't just about notre dame.
actually the article was pretty useless overall, i was hoping for a breakdown of recruits or something basically it was 'well the new coaches are going to change some things'. killer insight

To me, it's partly the fact that, for example, LSU won the national championship, but they still have to sit back and take it as Notre Dame becomes ESPN's cover boy one more time. Or you can insert any other team that deserves the publicity because of what they do on the field. If they (Notre Dame) win, they're the story. If they lose, it's a bigger story. I'm fucking sick of it.

yeah because 'lsu is still awesome, prepares for spring practice' is a better story than 'most storied team in college football coming off worst season in decades trying to rebuild, heres how theyre doing it'
