After a brief hiatus, Spanning the Dome returns.  Sorry for the lack if updates the past couple of days, I’ll try to keep the Spanning the Dome posts a little more frequently, especially on weekdays moving forward.

• Here’s a nice article on the myth of Quinn dropping in the draft from Eric Hansen.  Some good points made by Hansen about Quinn’s big game performance and how the combine has only added to the rumors of Quinn failing down the draft board - another great article from Hansen.
• While I’m on the topic of Quinn and the draft… here’s a decent article from SI.com about JaMarcus Russell and Quinn battling for the top spot in the draft.  I’ll have a post a bit later on how the combine hurt Russell’s stock some.
• And here is Brady’s latest blog entry from his XBOX community blog (hopefully more on this later)
• Despite a weekend split with Ferris State, the hockey team remained #1 in the polls for the 4th straight week. St. Cloud State, who recruiting fans will remember as a player for John Carlson a few years back, nearly passed the Irish.
• Here’s a photo gallery of this past week’s ND baseball games.
• Great post from Mike at BGS about the coaching class of 2004.  Weis, Urban Meyer, and Spurrier were the headliners and this post gives a good look at how each has faired.
• Will ND run the ball more?  That is the question posed by the latest Rock Report.
