I have been remiss in posting new articles and coaching tips. It is not due to lack of interest or enthusiasm.
I am upgrading scoretouchdowns.com and rebuilding it in a new template. In essence I am starting at ground zero beginning with the products ware house.
I hope to have the new template finished and published soon, it will have more products and categories and should be more user friendly.
In the mean time please use the current site.
Thank you,
Andy

Notre Dame Will Play For The National Title | Lou Holtz Said So
I like both Lou Holtz and the Fighting Irish, love them or hate them, they are a rich part of the fabric that makes up college football.
They were the first team to travel by train across the country to play USC , starting one of college footballs biggest rivalries. They gave us The Gipper and a team you either love to cheer for or against.
Given their most recent football fortunes I fear Dr. Lou may have gone a bit overboard even for a former ND Coach. They have not exactly lit up the scoreboard or made great defensive stops in some time.
Coach Holtz believes this season the National Championship Game will feature the men from South Bend versus the team from "The Swamp", the Florida Gators.
Before we all rush to have Lou committed to a mental facility lets examine his talking points.
He qualifies his remarks, saying he does not think ND is the best or even second best team in the country but says most of the time they will be the best team in the stadium on game day. Holtz sites The Irish schedule as the secret weapon their quest for a national title game.
Lou believes ND has a lack luster schedule that will make it easy for them to rack up wins and climb through the polls.
However they still must meet the men from Troy and even though the Irish are getting better, so is USC and as I recall, much to the chagrin of my brother, he is an ND Law School grad, The Trojans gave Notre Dame a 35 point curb stomping when they last met.
I like and respect Lou Holtz and enjoy his commentary on TV but Dr. Lou I think you need to switch your brand of Kool-Aid.

America Has Lost A Shinning Light
These past few weeks our nation has been focused on the hottest topic of the day, national health care. Yesterday during the midst of this debate we lost a shinning light, one that cannot totally be replaced or ever duplicated. Yesterday Eunice Kennedy Shriver died and America will not be the same with out her.
Who was Eunice Kennedy Shriver? She was the daughter of Joe and Rose Kennedy, sister of the late President John F. Kennedy and Senator Robert Kennedy and mother to former news caster Maria Shiver who is First Lady of California and the wife of the Terminator, Arnold.
Most importantly she was the younger sister of the late Rosemary Kennedy. What makes that so important? Rosemary Kennedy was born mentally challenged living life in hospitals, being cared for those special people dedicated to caring for the less fortunate.
Eunice developed and special awareness of the isolation and limits on the world of people who had problems similar to her sister Rosemary. Using the Kennedy wealth and connections she became a driving force giving us one of our most precious gifts. Because of Eunice and Rosemary Kennedy we have The Special Olympics.
A forum where the air is filled with laughter and applause, where the spirit of competition is alive and well as participants in The Special Olympics compete, make new friends and win over new supporters.
Yes yesterday when we lost Eunice Kennedy Shriver we lost one of America's kindest loving brightest lights, our world has shrunk but we are better off for her having been here.
I have called The White House Comment Line at 202-456-1111 requesting the President declare a national day of mourning. The hold time is long but to me, worth the wait.
Don't get me wrong, I am sure my calling the comment line will not be the reason for a day of mourning, I am sure we will have one. I felt compelled to call and be a proponent of a day of mourning to fill my desire to recognise the accomplishments of a fellow American.
