DURHAM, N.C. -- Just arrived in Durham.

It's a little rainy, but I think that's supposed to be gone by game time. I believe I'm staying in the same hotel as the team. If I'm not, then I'm in a hotel with a lot of people dressed in Notre Dame warmups and carrying Notre Dame bags.

Since I've been out of pocket most of the day, I decided to cruise the Internet for everything I missed. I've included a couple of links below to get your football weekend started. And if you're craving a football fix immediately, Memphis is beating Louisville on ESPN.

• Michael Rothstein of the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette has a great story about the tragic events that changed Kerry Neal's life in 2005.

• Jay Drew of the Salt Lake Tribune asks, "How good are the Cougars?" BYU has not played the toughest schedule, so Drew says the jury is still out.

• Florida International will soon decide which players to redshirt this season.

• Western Michigan coach Bill Cubit no longer keeps tabs on how everyone else is doing in the Mid-American Conference. He only care about his Broncos.

• The Bleacher Report believes Toledo has a chance to beat Michigan in the Big House this weekend.

• It might have been a year ago, but Wyoming hasn't forgotten Utah's third-quarter onside kick during last year's 50-0 Utes win.

• And back to Mr. Rothstein, who sheds some light on the taunting that often goes on during games.

Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Kerry Neal, Brigam Young Cougars, Florida International Golden Panthers, Western Michigan Broncos, Toledo Rockets, Utah Utes, Wyoming Cowboys
