This does not fall into the Freebass realm of awfulness- but it did make me chuckle. The Atkinson Twins are excited that Amir Carlisle is now officially Irish. Production value, B+...

Here is my jersey #! Lets go! Go Irish! twitter.com/amir_carlisle/…

Interesting stuff here. Gunner Kiel grabs the #1 jersey that many had thought was reserved for Greenberry, and Amir Carlisle takes the #3 jersey that Will Mahone wanted badly.
The #3 jersey is one of the most storied/legendary/overhyped numbers in Fightin' Irish lore, and it is fascinating to me that a USC transfer landed this number.
The march to signing day CONTINUES!
ALL-STAR FOOTBALL CHALLENGE TO FEATURE NOTRE DAME’S MICHAEL FLOYD
14th Annual Event To Air Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 5, at 4 p.m. ET on ESPN2
[Jan. 24, 2012] CHICAGO – The University of Notre Dame’s Michael Floyd will participate in the 14th annual All-Star Football Challenge, an exciting, live skills competition featuring college football’s brightest stars. The program is scheduled to air Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 5, at 4 p.m. ET on ESPN2 and will have encore airings at 4:30 p.m. ET on Feb. 12 and Feb. 26 on ESPN.

To conclude the program, the players will be divided into two teams for a final Full Team Competition.
Floyd dominated his senior season with the Irish, recording 1,147 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns. The big receiver was a highlight reel waiting to happen all year and is projected to be a first-round pick in the upcoming 2012 NFL Draft, according to ESPN.com.
Floyd will be joined by South Carolina defensive end Melvin Ingram (No. 17-ranked prospect, according to Scouts Inc.’s Top 32) and Texas linebacker Keenan Robinson as well as nine other college football stars. A full list of participants will be available soon.

no commentsSwitched my number to#11.. I was getting to brolic for number#1.. My man@tshepard08 got #1 now....

Hmm. Well there's that. Ishaq Williams gives up his #1 jersey to Tee Shepard and Ishaq will instead, rock #11 on defense in 2012.
It was previously thought that Tee would wear #2 after Bennett Jackson switches to #4, and then Greenberry would wear #1 on offense. Jackson's switch was only presumed, and nothing is official on his plans to change or not change his number. Will the cousins (Shepard & Greenberry) both wear #1?
Yep. It's the offseason. Stay tuned! no comments
Welcome to Twittermania! This is the place where you will find the best #NDFB tweets (and just about anything else of the awesome nature) on the @TheSubwayDomer Twitter timeline. There is now a running total, a scoresheet if you will, that is located in the menu bar above, or by following THIS LINK.
It's a great way to hand out the ultimate prize of GLORY, and it will also keep all the guys at HLS on their toes.
This week, we deal with the return of Archer, Notre Dame Basketball doing what it does best, The Shirt, and more. The offseason is just rolling along. As per usual, 5 tweets is just an awesome number I made up- there could and should be more. My rules ho!
Let's jump to the Top 5 hahahahaha:
Tweets come back to haunt. NJ.com : Don Bosco's Yuri Wright, a possible Rutgers recruit, expelled for graphic tweets bit.ly/zRS57y

By now, most Irish fans that follow recruiting, already know about the Yuri Wright situation. If you just scanned the message boards, you would think that we were on the verge of a civil war between the fanbase. Everyone has an opinion on what Brian Kelly and Notre Dame should do about Wright and his recruitment.
I am no different. If you have been reading this blog long enough, then you already know what I'm thinking... You take him. I have no idea what Kelly will do, but I can tell you how I would handle it, if it were my call.
You tell Yuri that the scholarship offer is still on the table provided that he accepts the following steps:
- Issue a public apology.
- Take a redshirt freshman year.
- Maintain a good academic profile.
- No social media for 2 years.
- No code of conduct violations or problems with the law for 2 years.
- Talks to a counselor once a week for 2 years and follows their guidelines as well
Notre Dame is one of those programs that boasts about producing great young men of character. The dirty secret is that a lot of those guys were that way before they ever stepped on campus. Where is the want to help kids with a bit of trouble and get them to change their life? That's something you can really boast about.
Bobby Elliott, who coached both Kerry Cooks and Bob Diaco at Iowa, will join #notredame staff as defensive assistant. Was at Iowa State.

As with everything Notre Dame does, nothing will be official until it is announced, but sources (other people's sources) are saying that Bob Elliott will be named as a new assistant for the defense. Elliott coached both Diaco and Cooks in college.

If you have been paying attention to recruiting at all in the last few weeks, then you already know Notre Dame has been riding a rainbow roller coaster of emotion. Decommitments late in the process have the ability to stall and forever damage a class. The decommitments of Ronald Darby and Taylor Decker looked like they had the ability to kill any hope or momentum in this class as we get closer to National Signing Day. All was dark...
And then out of the darkness arose a knight in shining armor and carrying a unicorn horn as his weapon- Gunner Kiel committed to Notre Dame. Oh you beautiful nephew of a Blair. Add that with the fact that some guy named "Tosh" is changing his employment, and now we got the makings of a good stew!
Let's find out what we're dealing with:

This week, we deal with more recruiting drama, killer squirrels, college kids breaking the law- and much more. If you have been following this series lately, then you already know I don't color within the lines all that great (meaning: I tend to go over the 5 Tweet parameter). ules are meant to be broken, and this week is a double platinum edition- because I'm so BOSS like that.
