Notre Dame story: This is not about Brady Quinn

Apparantly, not all Notre Dame students are as stiff as my first impression of them led me to believe.

Early Friday morning (or as any college student would call it, Thursday night), Irish starting point guard Kyle McAlarney was caught with a green leafy substance that is (I'm told) smoked with a glass pipe, bong or carefully carved apple.

A couple things come to mind with this story. First and foremost, I can't blame the guy. He was on Notre Dame's campus on a non-football day, where there can't be much to do other than study or play Tiger Woods 07.

Also the only reason McAlarney was pulled over was because he was speeding. Most of us learn in high school that if you have an illegal substance in your car, you should probably drive carefully. Of course, this begs the question to how the officer found the special shamrocks to begin with. Generally speaking, a white athlete pulled over in South Bend for speeding is not going to be subject to a full body search unless (a) the car smells like the art teacher, or (b) the subject is licking schnozberries off the windshield. If I were a Notre Dame fan, I would be more disappointed in Kyle's inability to smoke grass inconspicuously than anything else.

Anyways, we shall see how the school handles this situaion. Notre Dame God could not be reached for comment, but Baby Jesus was reported to be crying.
