I would be the most cheerful, optimistic football fan on this board if Nd football gave me just a slight reason to be. Right now I find humor in our suckiness. And How are you?
Sampson just CB'd Kevin Austin to ND. Commitment date set for Aug. 11. Time to wrap this one up. He'll be another big pickup.
I'm a maybe at this point. Not sure if I'm heading back to the Bay Area for Thanksgiving or Christmas just yet.
I'm sure I'll be on and off the board, but just keep me posted. Already got my tix secured and I'll be tailgating etc etc
Even if they don't, a game like 2 years ago well worth the price of admission. It's a great tailgate setup and intimate crowd.
Yup, agreed. I was there and it was a great time - despite the loss. We had a solid 15-20 ND fans at our tailgate. It's always nice going to an away game and having a large portion of the crowd there to cheer with.
Triccio has been around forever, only reason he stands out to me is he will always review random 3 star guys tape and make a thread about it. He will always (use parentheses) In his evaluations (of prospects) Many have good (not great) athleticism but he likes their ball skills (and football IQ) and thinks ND should (offer) them
Oh I know, I love him. So much passion in his posting and he can never take a joke I just loved how he went 0-100 over academic smack talk
LB Jack Lamb announcing tomorrow. Down to ND and UCLA. UCLA is the favorite, though there have been a flurry crystal balls to ND today. Guess we'll see what happens.
I wonder if Robdog_5 has some intel for us considering this kid plays nearby in Temecula? Hopefully he picks ND, looks like he's a legit talent at LB.
if we get lamb and austin in the coming weeks our class is almost on par with last years class already, without any help from the offensive line and still plenty of room
less of a spectacular career but chris watt also retired. Played enough to get his NFL pension which in his case would be little more than the minimum of 22k p/a. Still a nice bit of money to get every year for the rest of your life
Georgia is the only game sold out. Anyone looking for USC might be able to pick up at least single seats.
I can get these on pre-sale if anyone doesn't want to wait to get theirs with the unwashed masses. PM me if interested.
optimism is awesome, im gonig to dominate our fantasy football league. ND football is just an optimism vacuum
Apparently you guys all are forgetting that all our problems were caused by Longo and everyone is going to be bigger, faster, stronger with this new guy.
Unless the new S&C guy is dr Krieger and were fielding a team of barrylike cyborgs I will have doubts about the defense until weve played USC at the earliest
I'd be shocked if the defense is improved at all compared to what we saw the last 5 games The personal just isn't on campus
my usc allotment is gone, congratulations IrishLAX2. any other tickets besides usc and georgia i can do, or parking passes
To be honest though. That d the talent we have on offense and a slightly above average special teams could easily make a 9 or even 10 win regular season. Keep in mind the post bvg defense gave up about 110 yards a game less and of that pace was keer up for a season i think they wouldve ranked about 30th nationally. Its just that the offense was already checked out by then.
