Diamonds don't just grow on trees...they come from PRESSURE!

So..how was your Memorial Weekend?

About 2 weeks ago I called a friend named Pete at a 

Irish web site and asked.."Hey have you heard anything about 

Golson having issues?"

It was about that day till now...I've not slept real well since!

I reached out to a friend close to his family...Nothing!

I chalked it up to just rumors...rumors about a young
QB destined for greatness this season....

That's when all Hell broke loose in the past few weeks!

Now...if you read my last blog I'm not here to mince words!

THIS SH@T HAS SUCKED!

This has been HORRIBLE..

I'm feeling crazy !

Now this is not a "spin" conversation!

This is not a "puppies and rainbows" type of article!

This is real...

It's happend!...He's gone...Will he be back?...Time will tell!

DO YOU KNOW HOW LUCKY WE ARE THAT

THIS WON'T KILL OUR SEASON!

Do you realize that if this happend to the majority of

college football programs they would be DEVASTATED!

Not set back...not "We will see.." but SCREWED!

What if this happend to...

Clemson

Tajh Boyd goes down!

Cole Stoudt with his 60 snaps as a jr. steps in!

Texas A&M 

See what happens if Johnny Football leaves!

Matt Joeckel steps up?...he's thrown 11 career passes!

Oregon

Marcus Mariota blows out his knee...

3 star true Freshman Jeff Lockie get's to step up!

We have 3 VERY viable options at Quarterback!

Tommy Rees...Tommy is the Honda Accord!

He's not fancy....he's not fast..but he's CONSISTANT!

He get's you from point A to point B!

The bottom line is we are BLESSED to have a 

senior with over 600 snaps under his belt!

With a career 61% completion ratio!

That has played at Michigan at night!

Won at USC at night!

Beat Stanford in OVERTIME!

This kid is un rattled by the FLASHBULBS!

He's seen it all!

We have 

Andrew Hendrix!

I met him at the Touchdown Club of Columbus the year

before Tressel was fired for the cheating scandal!

I watched as Tressel damn near tear up telling Andrew how 

sad he was he didn't attend O$U..and remember we landed him over

the "Heart Attack" waiting to happen coaching the Gators!...

At the Notre Dame Coaching Clinic I was told that this has been 

his best year as far as development since they arrived!

That the "light had gone on" for Hendrix!

That if Golson went down...Hendrix could step in!

ZAIRE!

This kid was the number 1 QB in the state of Ohio...

We took him right out of Urban's back yard...

I talked to Zaire's buddies in camp...they said he get's up 

EVERY day at 4:30 just to watch film...

A coach told me that Zaire is the most mentally gifted 

freshman he's ever coached!

Zaire is the future...maybe this year...maybe not!...
Maybe after Golson returns?

Maybe Golson opened a window of opportunity he 

shouldn't have?

This is our schedule!

Temple=Temple

Game one is a open scrimmage!

An opportunity to just throw some spagetti against

the wall and see what sticks!

Michigan

Beatable

Ree's has 430 yards and 70% comp ratio 

He's beat them before and seen their place!

MSU

NEW QB

Oklahoma

NEW QB

Arizona State

Better have some answers by then!

USC

NEW QB

Air Force=Air Force

Navy=Navy

Pitt

NEW QB

BYU

NEW QB

Stanford

Better be ready!

So realize the glass is not broken...it's not jagged 

at the top, and it's not gonna cut your lip!

The glass is...

HALF FULL

So throw some ice in it...relax and splash some 

Jameson on the other half and let Kelly do his job!

GO IRISH and GOD BLESS!
