other viewing options. These issues are complicated and there is no easy solution that will solve any of these issues. The easiest to fix is bringing up the quality of play. Again, there are many reasons as to why quality of play is down and some are complicated, but many are simple and would significantly improve level of play. One simple change that would significantly improve quality of play is changing the pass-interference rule. Pass interference is is a foul that occurs when a player interferes with an eligible receiver's ability to make a fair attempt to catch a forward pass. The penalty is overcalled, abused by teams and has negatively influenced the outcomes of many games. This year has been especially bad. Teams have gradually started to abuse the rule. If a team…
builder (Oriard). The family immigrated to America five years later in search of greater economic opportunities (Carter). In high school, Knute briefly played football and ran track before dropping out (Carter). He worked as a postal clerk for a few years before finally taking an entrance exam for Notre Dame and enrolling in 1910 (Carter). While at Notre Dame Rockne tried out for the football team and made it, where he played as a fullback and sometimes defensive end (Carter). In the fall of…
He took large risks by scheduling games against larger, better teams. The most legendary person Rockne coached was George Gipp. Gipp could do many things like run, punt, pass, kick, and was a very good defensive player. George got sick from strep throat, his dying wish to Rockne was to give the team a pep talk, which inspired Win one for the Gipper. Knute Rockne died on March 31, 1931, when the airplane he was traveling in crashed in Chase County, Kansas. While he was coaching he won 105 games,…
On March 4th, 1888, Knute Rockne was born in Voss, Norway. Little did we know he would go on to be an amazing athlete, and even better coach. Rockne was one of the most successful coaches in the history of Norte Dame Football. He coached the Fighting Irish football team in the 1920’s, which is known as their “Golden Era”. During his time coaching, Rockne won three national championships – transforming this diamond in the rough team to the most popular team in the United States. Knute’s family…

With a discharge of energy flowing rapid through my body, I knew this was all I had left. With my foot holding in the clutch, my wrist snapped forward. Deep inside the engine of the midnight black Volkswagen Jetta, the spark plugs shocked it to life. Rolling down the blacked out windows, I could hear the distinctive purr of the diesel beast I named “Diana”. Shifting the sports-like six speed manual transmission into first, I was ready. Simultaneously giving gas and releasing the clutch, my…
the locker room, walked over the old wooden bench that has been engraved. I plopped myself down and listen to coach. Trying to relax a little more while drinking my water from the raggedy ass Gatorade bottle. Coach was explaining how we need to catch up. “If you guys make four baskets we will be in the lead. It’s not hard to make four or even more. Just look down at the post, and pass to Ally or Nyssa. Nyssa and I looked at each other knowing we would have to work so much harder on our side.…
was ending coming to a collapse, and there would be no feelings left but a empty hollow shell after someone passing. From, what I used to think and perceive of death and how I feel about death during the process but how I view everything now has completely changed. When, I was little around the age of ten I used to think that someone passing away was the most dreadful thing ever and in some ways it still is, but how I thought about things back then was different from how I think now, but also…
can easily be what influenced him to write a commentary on “racial passing,” such as The House Behind the Cedars. Racial passing, as defined by Randall Kennedy, an Ohio State Law journalist, is “a deception that enables a person to adopt certain roles or identities from which he would be barred by prevailing social standards in the absence of his misleading conduct.” Like his main characters Rena and John, Chesnutt grew up in an environment where he could pass as either black or white. His mixed…
I didn't react like the others, in fact, I was standing up with my head away from everyone. The pain that accumulated in me, was one of personal failure. If I could throw up, I would have to stop that terrible feeling. This feeling was soon soothed by the words of a teammate. My Fly Half, the one I butchered the pass to, asked why I was so downtrodden and I explained. He responded by telling me how proud he was of my performance, and that he was glad his last game was played by…
