Brady Quinn

I went to Notre Dame this weekend, and saw them lose their 9th game of the season. They lost to the Air Force Academy 41-24. Despite this season's abysmal record, this stadium was still packed (it's still ND football, after all), although tickets could be had outside the stadium for $10, alas.

The 105dB fighter jet flyover was really cool, even for the Irish fans.

I must say, Brady Quinn is missed (as is his favorite target, Jeff Samardzija); his picture is still all over the ladies' dorms. What was interesting to me was what I saw at the "Le Peep" Restaurant in Mishiwaka. The have signed photos from couple of celebrities, including a past Miss Indiana 2006, Betsy Uschkrat. There were two Brady Quinn Photos, both with scripture references written below the autograph. Here those references:


James 1:2-3:

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.

Proverbs3:5-6:

5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight.


Maybe Joe Theisman was a little unfair for berating him for chewing gum and not having combed his hair when he was selected by the Cleveland Browns 2007 NFL draft. Or maybe the Bible verses were just for "the troops." But I thought his verse selection was worthy of note, and maybe he's the "real deal."
