    I don't object to you guys posting articles about the Victory, you deserve the right to do that and enjoy the positive side of your victory. I'm not so sure though that we need to be implying or furthering internet rumours and speculation on players who were injured (Ginn).

    If ND beats somebody in a bowl game in my remaining lifetime, I'm buying drinks for all! :)

    Thanks for clarifying what you are trying to say Terry because otherwise I can't see the point of sticking around here if it is that stifling.

    On Ginn......I think the sensitivity to this rumor or speculation is way overblown. It happened in a particular way and some speculate especially with the NFL announcement of today which of course was not unexpected.

    What is there to get so mad about? If Reggie Nelson's Dad was in the stands and yelling to an injured Nelson who seemed to be jogging back on the field just fine I would have the same slivers of speculation and doubt enter my thinking.

    It was really the way his father reacted to his re-entry more than anything else that triggered these thoughts and then I see it being asked of Eddie George the next night on Best Damned Sports Show and I mention it here on Skybox and it is somehow for some strange reason taboo and infuriates the denizens to no end. That's puzzling to me.

    In any event...that's my take on it and I'm done with it.
