Brian Kelly's Latest Press Conference

University of Notre Dame Head Football Coach, Brian Kelly, was at the podium for 12 minutes -- last night after practice -- and he said some interesting things. Among them; Today's practice will be in Notre Dame Stadium and they'll work on the "49 scenarios that are possible in a college football game." You'll enjoy his explanation. Coach Kelly was also quite candid about whether or not he would have been ready for this job without any previous head coaching experience, and what was his motivation to lose weight -- an obvious slight on the reporter's part to Coach Charlie Weis.

Desk Treadmills @ Notre Dame

WNDU-TV did a story on these "contraptions" -- and I thought I'd share this with you. For the more "experienced" visitors to the NOTRE DAME GO IRISH BLOG I'm guessing you're thinking "George Jetson" right about now: Here's the link:
