Kiel dumps LSU for Notre Dame, thanks to mom
options
 

   Stud quarterback Gunner Kiel has called yet another audible, this time late in the second half, committing to Notre Dame after making a verbal to LSU in the past month after originally committing to Indiana.

   Kiel is considered by some to be one of the top five quarterback prospects in the nation and is quite a coup. But remember, Jimmy Clausen, Dayne Crist, Ron Powlus and even uncle Blair, from back in the day, were national phenoms.

  But word from back home in Columbus, Ohio is that Gunner's mom didn't want her son to go that far away from home, so LSU's loss is now Notre Dame's gain.

   Maybe mom has a codocil that allows him to bail if Anger Management Kelly yells at her son on national TV. If every quarterback had that provision in his letter of intent, Notre Dame would be playing the single wing.

    John Q. will use anything to take a cheap shot at Coach Kelly. This recruit is exactly what Notre Dame needed at QB. John Q. will grow very old watching and hating Notre Dame's rise under coach Kelly.

    Kiel seems like a flake. "I'm going to IU...no, LSU...no, Notre Dame". Good luck Golden Domers, hope Mommy doesn't change his mind again before National Letter of Intent Day.

    Does the write know what codicil means? It is a legal term used exclusively for wills and estate planning. When one is writing about football, try to not use big words that you don’t understand.

    Try not to be a know it all when the second definition of codicil refers to:
    "Any addition made subsequent and appended to the original".
