As an IC alum, my attitude towards the sanctions is kind of "meh."  It is embarassing, but since there's no postseason ban attached to it and since MWC coaches are used to not being able to recruit off campus, I think it's totally possible the program won't be effected by this at all.  In fact, the rule that was violated is no longer a rule so Coach Campbell can keep recruiting in that manner if he so chooses.

Agree with what you're saying here and this will be totally in the wind the second the ball goes in the air  Saturday (or tonight even).  The emphasized part is half right...coaches can text now, but not Campbell.  At least not this year.  Part of the penalty is that IC coaches can't text players during this recruiting year (ban is lifted on April 30).  Surely a heavy, heavy penalty since texting is about the only way to reach out to prospective student athletes in the year 2012 [/heavy sarcasm]. 

Good luck to the Blueboys this Saturday.  We over in C'ville will appreciate anything you can do to have Hanover put as much on video as possible.   :)

Welcome, CyRam!

Here's another video installment from SNC in Ireland:

And, I went to the Packers-Chiefs game last night. Tanney played! He had a series in the fourth quarter. He had a nice, long pass completion (guessing it was a 40-yard play), but it got wiped out by an offensive line penalty. I don't think he ended up with any passing stats as a result. He mostly handed off the ball. He also got sacked a couple of times. But it was good to see him play.

Can't imagine him passing Stanzi and Quinn as a backup, but maybe he makes it to the practice squad.

I'd like to but I'll be in Chicago, playing rugby. It would be nice if you would post your observations from the game when you return home.

He had 1 incompletion in his only credited throw...remember, he was flushed out of the pocket and overthrew his WR down the sidelines a couple plays after the completion that wasn't.  He hurt his index finger and had it looked at after that series. Didn't look serious when seeing it on the tv. But, Trent Green on the Chiefs broadcast, said unless it was falling off, he expect Tanney back in on the next series, but he never returned...and it wasn't falling off!! I thought maybe it was dislocated, but couldn't really tell from the tv.

There was a pretty noticeable buzz among many MC alums on Facebook last night once Tanney got in the game.  Very cool!

Cut Stanzi or Brady, save some salary, and let Tanney carry the clip board for a year or two until hes ready for the show.    ;)

OK, MWC fans, don't read too much into the chest pounding and blustering by Cornell fans.  Every year at this time on the IIAC board we would hear the players at Cornell were more physical than in previous years, they had a great recruiting year, and there was all kinds of enthusiasm on campus for Rams Football.  After week two reality sat in and they knew they would finish the season somewhere between 2-8 & 0-10.

the SNC helmet logo - the fluer de lis - is usually white, but is green/white/orange like the Irish flag. Cool tough.

Not the outcome I wanted, of course. Still, a cool experience for the team. And doesn't change the fact they need to win MWC to get into NCAA field.

The Chiefs cut their roster down to 53.  Tanney not waived nor contract terminated.  "My sources" are researching the IR policies.
