Spanning the Dome: 3/2/07

Missed yesterday’s post due to a little bit too much poker, but I’m back tonight with a bunch of links on the baseball and basketball teams and some more articles on the upcoming draft.  Sorry about the repeats in dome pics, I received a bunch through email that I just haven’t gotten a chance to post yet.  I’ll get to them this weekend.

• The bball team concludes its season tomorrow against Rutgers on the road.  Here’s a preview of the game I stumbled across.  If the Irish are to make a run in either the BE Tourney or in the Big Dance, this is the kind of game they HAVE to win.
• Speaking of this being a must win, here’s an article about Brey keeping his team focused.
• Tomorrow’s game in Jersey is a sellout despite Rutgers having a pretty terrible year in basketball this year.
• And as if we didn’t know this already, the Irish are a lock for the Tourney.
• The baseball team will play a double header on Sunday after Saturday’s game was scratched.
• Nice article from Eric Hansen on the coaches for the Notre Dame Spring Game.
• Just how fast will Jeff Samardzija be pitching in Wrigley Field?  Sooner than you make think according to this mlb.com article.
• Good post from HerLoyalSons about why Notre Dame’s linemen don’t seem to be too strong (at least based on their lifting numbers at last weekends combine).
• This guy thinks the Raiders should avoid drafting a quarterback.  And you know what?  I agree with him.  That team, in its current state, has quarterback killer written all over it.
• Just another article with some quotes showing Quinn knows how to say all the right things and that he’s got his head screwed on straight.
