ND alumnus from the late '70s here. I find absolutely nothing surprising or derogatory (or, for that matter, untrue) in the article. Anyone taking major umbrage hasn't been paying attention. Look, I like to follow the football team and wish them well. But please, a little less of the pretending that this program is… Read more

The owner invited me to a sales pitch he was doing in New Jersey at Prentice-Hall Publishing, hoping I could… Read more

SOE was conceived as a ego-massage project between the powers-at-the-time at MLBAM and USA Today Sports, and as an attempted answer to Grantland.
