Jeremy Lins worst nightmare. Yahoo reporting that Mike D'antoni coach of the Knicks has resigned. Was always going to happen as it was him or Carmelo, and always going to be one winner.

If the Dolphins end up with Tebow they will seriously need to fire their GM. This whole QB search has been a complete shambles from the start, only for Dan Marino stepping in Manning was not going to give the Dolphins a chance of interviewing him. There are some pissed off people down here right now.

Awwww the Denver Bronco's

still, I'm surprised. So it's Tebow to the Sidelines Time.

John Elway was never going to settle for him.

Please, let the Browns NOT trade for Tebow, unless as a running back replacement for Hillis.

Where do you get them? 30,000 college students invading Dublin, hmmm? Interesting...

Oraisteach · March 20, 2012, 06:36:23 PM

Especially when ND's student body is probably no more than 12,000. What is the source of this 30,000 figure?

AZOffaly · March 20, 2012, 07:31:39 PM

They won't be students lads. Notre Dame have a huge following around the states, members of the Alum society, boosters etc. They brought a big crowd with them in 1996, so I wouldn't be surprised if they bring a lot with them this time too. However, 30k seems a stretch alright.

gallsman · March 20, 2012, 07:59:38 PM

So instead of 22 year old blonde co-eds we're going to get a load of crusty old suits? Boo!
