Kern Joins Ledger, Gyllenhaal In Hall of Fame

hof.gif

As I was starting to research a post about Buckeye legend Rex Kern's election to the College Football Hall of Fame, I stumbled upon this on Google Maps.

The G-brain is trying to link pictures from pages in its index to this location and selected this lovely photo from exploresouthbend.org to display. The photo was from a press release last year promoting country duo "Blue Country" singing at the 2006 induction ceremonies. That's great, but every time I see two cowboys now, I think Ledger & Gyllenhaal. Can't help it.

Former master recruiter and small game coach John Cooper failed to make the cut, but Bob Hunter of the Dispatch had his back. Cooper certainly has the numbers, but whether he likes it or not, he's going to be remembered as the guy that couldn't win the important ones and that will hurt his chances.

Former greats Jim Otis and Chris Spielman also failed in their bids, but somehow the immensely overhyped Chris Zorich got in. Must be that ND-proximity rule..

Who votes for this? Unless there is some kind of rule about schools having only 1 player enshrined per year, there is no way you can leave Spielman out. Zorich is a joke. I'm guessing that one day the put that slow boxer/safety in too and leave out someone deserving like Mike Doss.

Good to see Reggie Williams on that list.

That or the really good girl reciever they had the past few years....oh what's her name? I know she elected to play baseball instead b/c she was too afraid to get hurt in the NFL.

I'm drawing a blank on her name...I wanna say Jumanji, but that's not it.

Man where did all this hatred for ND come from? I really need to look into that considering Quinn's my new QB!

I thought it was a female version of Howard Stern?

Zorich was voted on a rarely discussed technicality that calls for automatic enshrinement of any player who looks and talks exactly like SHREK.

Don't forget that he also must have an IQ similar to SHREK.

I beleive the aforementioned Rudy joke was Boone's comment about the Bareback in Notre Dame.
