Cierre Wood's picture is beyond awesome.

I thought Big Lou played really well this past Saturday. He is really improving every week.

Nix was a monster on Saturday. No question about it.

We all expected him to be good against the run, but he is exceeding even those expectations in my opinion.

he looked quick too...he chased a few down

He has the potential to be another Vince Wilfork (his idol). Hopefully he stays for the next three years, getting leaner and stronger in the process.

I believe he is leading the d-line in tackles so far this season.

Kapron Lewis-Moore leads with 32.

Nix is second with 27, Tuitt third with 26, and Lynch is fourth with 22.

Very true could be the next Vince Wilfork

Say a prayer for Big Lou's father.. Looks like he had a heart attack.

Done. We're all a family here...even if most of us are just subway alum.

I hope for a speedy recovery.

Man, ND players fathers aren't doing well this year. Prayers to the Nix's. At least big Lou has Shembo to lean on.

Any word on how his pops is doing? Will Nix be playing this weekend?

Disney should make a princess with no hair so that every little girl who's fighting cancer can feel beautiful.♥

Wow.

Tear jerker.

Class act.

Love me some LOU!

Wow, thank God this guy is on our team. Not only being a flipping awesome player. What a great thing to say. He is thinking of a real cool idea, but thinking it in a Disney theme. Really cool.

I already really liked this kid. Now I like him even more. I have 3 daughters, and after I tell them this I think they will have a new favorit player.

Go Irish, and thank you Irish Chocolate!

Nothing against Big Lou, but like 60 people on my facebook have this as a status update today.

Poor Santa :(

Priceless

His expression kills me.

You got to be kidding me...lol

Nix is such a dork, I wish he was my friend.

love that these are the type of guys that we recruit.

All Santa will want after that is a new leg.

Why would he redshirt?

Via his twitter and fb

I assume you are referring to this?

@IrishChocolate9: Im so happy i red-shirted #RandomThought


He sat out his first year. He is saying he is happy he did so, probably because he was able to get himself into shape and learn/get better before seeing the field.

Totally spaced that one

Totally. haha

From LNIII's FB page:

And in response to a bunch of ND fans ripping on Miami fans in the comments under that post, LNIII replied:

Don't be that fan.

I dug up Big Lou's old recruiting profile to post this very thing and as I opened it, you had beat me to it. Reps.

Have to admit it's hilarious considering the U is basically f***** now.

Cannot emphasize this enough, thanks for the post Whiskey

I wish people from our fanbase wouldn't try to chum it up with recruits, message them or tweet at them or whatever the **** people call **** on social networking. Man, damn.

All of the above and considering I believe it was Amir on the bang bang page that posted he isn't Mr bigtime and welcomes fans to hit him up of FB and said he would respond to em. Please people don't make contact and don't be that fan

Amir seems to be inviting people to contact him and I see nothing wrong with that. I wouldn't contact him (or anyone I do not know) but there's a big difference between being "that fan" and being a fan.

I don't feel we should be talking to players, especially recruits, on facebook, twitter or any other social media. We're not their friends. We're their fans. Big difference.

Agreed. I feel like some of the middle-aged men on facebook want the players to invite them over for a game of Madden in the dorms.

Just sad to read things like this but it's no surprise in todays day an age there seems to be more *** holes then decent people out there. The worst thing is a lot has to do with the use of the internet.

Nix replied:

LMAO!

hm.. wow..not sure what to make of this..

Sounds like big Louie is very intelligent and had his head screwed on right. Like it or not it's true most fans like to act like they know more then what they actually do about the game or our current coaching situation....

Louis speaks the truth

Nix is getting after people on Twitter today. Look no further for leadership.

Love this dude.

Love Lou's leadership, but Twitter is not the proper forum since he's talking directly to/about teammates. As much as I appreciate the information directly from him, it's too much information in a public domain.
