Dayne Crist Transfers From Notre Dame to Kansas

Reunited and it feels so good. Dayne Crist’s Notre Dame career is dead. He will attempt resurrection with the man who recruited him, transferring to Charlie Weis’ Kansas for his fifth and final year. One day with Weis makes you good, two days make you great and three days make you incredible. Crist spent two entire seasons with the man.

Crist is a former five-star recruit from the Class of 2008. He was Rivals’ No. 25 overall player and third rated quarterback behind Terrelle Pryor and Blaine Gabbert. Luck was a four-star, No. 68 overall. RGIII was a four-star, No. 42 overall in Texas. He won the Notre Dame starting job in both 2010 and 2011, though lost it both seasons due to injuries and ineffectiveness.

It’s no surprise Crist would reunite with Weis, though he also visited Wisconsin. Even without Paul Chryst as coordinator, the Badgers could have offered an NFL-sized offensive line, a running game and a team that could plausibly win football games. Good News for Crist? Kansas should return four offensive line starters, their top two running backs and their top three wideouts. Bad news for Crist? Kansas averaged just 4.46 yards per play last season, with those players and average quarterback play.

His name is Dayne Crist? Really? With a name like that I would expect he would play at Duke.

Damn. As a Buckeye fan, I was really hoping he would go to Wisconsin. You know, because he sucks and everything.

Since this is a college football post, I feel like I can post this here.

It hasn’t been easy for Virginia Tech to sell its allotment of 17,500 tickets for the Sugar Bowl. After nearly two weeks of sales, the school is nearing the 10,000 mark
Michigan, even with its large alumni base and BCS-starved fans, has still not quite sold out its Sugar Bowl allotment, hovering around 15,000 after an early rush.

so the whole reason they invited these two schools was because they were “name” programs that would sell tickets, but now they aren’t even doing that. interesting….

Duffy, your move.

Michigan will sell their allotment. In the article you’ll note that the game is close to a sellout. 15 years ago, if you wanted to go, you bought tickets from the university. Now, with this new fangled internet thing, fans can bypass the athletic ticket office and buy direct.

When is Jeff Driskel transferring to OSU?

It’s mind-boggling that the Sugar Bowl chose Va. Tech over KSU and Boise. It’s no mystery that Va. Tech doesn’t sell tickets/travel exceptionally well; they’ve proven that in the past two Orange Bowls they’ve been, both of which were coincidentally two of the four (I believe) lowest BCS bowls in terms of television ratings.

The Sugar Bowl did Jim Delany a solid by not choosing Boise to come down and tap that Michigan ass, but why they passed up KSU I do not know.

I will really miss those easy kU wins now that Mizzou is in the SEC. Crist & Weis will not end will for the beakers.

KSU would have sold that place out.

RGIII was a four-star, No. 42 overall in Texas.

As an athlete and not a QB though, right?

No, he graduated so he just has to find a grad program that ND doesnt offer, so pretty much anything except praying and shit.

While I like that educationally driven students can work the system to their advantage, I’m not crazy about this free agent type of action with Russell Wilson last year and now this.

true, but Arkansas sold out their allotment last year before they even went on sale to the public, same this year for the Cotton Bowl.

Can Notre Dame pull a St. Joes and not sign the waiver for Crist? Not saying they should do this, just wondering if it is a similar situation to that basketball player
