It's cold, miserable and staring to become more wintry -- have we been transported from South Bend to Syracuse? Notre Dame practiced inside Thursday:
- Scouts from the Buccaneers, Jets, Lions, Cowboys and Cardinals were in attendance. There were a bunch of other people milling around, but we're not totally sure what teams they were from.
- Sophomore fullback Asaph Schwapp was at practice and on the bike. D.J. Hord and Brandon Erickson both took part in stretching. Everyone else appears healthy.
- Wide receivers coach Rob Ianello donned the protective blue sleeves which make his arms look like a giant Penguin from the Batman movie in order to hit receivers.
We're sorry we forgot to publish it earlier, but you know the drill: UCLA-ND Prediction contest. Send your guesses to mrothstein@jg.net by kickoff Saturday. Thanks to reader Andy for pointing out we hadn't publicized it yet.
