I decided my 1000th post should be used on Danny's thread. He's the reason I found IE.

I've been a life long Irish fan and I'm fortunate to say I know Danny and his family from when I lived in Colorado. They are awesome people. I was very excited to hear he was going to be Irish instead of a CU Buffalo (although I was a little hoping he would be a Stanford Cardinal because I live near there: ), so I started looking for info when I came across IE.

I hope 2012 is a great year for the Irish and for Danny. GO IRISH!! GO IE!!

Great Post. Love Danny Spond, kid is a baller just needs to stay healthy.

Cool story about Danny. Can we get a "GO SPOND" chant going too?

Congrats on #1,000. I know it's been a long and tough road to reach that milestone. Speech?

1000 posts since August is nothing to sneeze at. You may be giving Beau a run for his money! Mods, BGIF, resident IE historians-- what's the record for most posts in a calendar year? Fiscal year? :whoknows:

I'm pretty sure it's whatever I have by the end of this month. lol

Bring it BobD! lmao

Very cool note about Danny though.

BobD · Jan 9, 2012

I'm not after any records so I'm sure yours is safe.

Very happy I found IE though, I've neer been much of a computer chatter until now. It's been a lot of fun, your all a great group of people and I'm looking forward to years of cheering for our Irish!

Been reported as a concussion.

ndfi78 · Aug 8, 2012

Uh, that is not good at all. Didn't he miss most of his senior year with a concussion or am I imagining things?

Where was it reported a concussion? I saw "potential" and "possible" concussion, but I don't think it has been confirmed.

Yeah, his senior season ended after only six games after a terrible concussion:

Need to keep an eye on the Danny Spond concussion situation. He had a very, very serious one in high school. #NotreDame

Spond played just six games as a senior in high school because of the concussion, which left him unconscious for about two hours. #NotreDame

Fellow I.E. members and guests, I never got into the prayer thread thing-- mostly because they were in recruiting situations, but let's take a minute and say one for Danny.

Hope you are well and free of injury to your health young man, God Bless You.

TerryTate · Aug 9, 2012

Anyone have ISD access?

clashmore_mike · Aug 10, 2012

I'm your huckleberry, what do you need?

clashmore_mike · Aug 10, 2012

Not sure who the poster is or where he got the info, but a guy on ISD is saying Spond is still in the hospital with numbness in his left leg. Doctors are still performing tests, but they fear he suffered some kind of a stroke.

Mods, feel free to delete this if you feel necessary. I have no clue on the validity of the poster or that information. I'm simply passing along info bc TT asked.

clashmore_mike · Aug 10, 2012

after reading through the rest of the thread, others have vouched for the guy and he apparently has some connection to the family. He also came back to say again that the stroke diagnosis is not for sure, just that it was a possibility that was relayed to the family.

Going to bed and saying a prayer for danny.

NDPhilly · Aug 10, 2012

Jake Brown on II is hearing that is much much worse than a simple concussion.

Cali_domer · Aug 10, 2012

Praying for Danny. Damn I hope that isn't true.

This is a total bummer! I sure hope Danny is going to be alright. I think sometimes we get really wrapped up about the game and the players on an athletic level that it's sometimes easy to take things for granted. I know it's a part of football, but you always hate to see a good kid get hurt. I will say a prayer for him and hope that he'll be ok.

NDhoosier · Aug 10, 2012

this is heart-breaking, it went from maybe concussion like symptoms to possibly a stroke? This is not good news.

Fbolt · Aug 10, 2012

Best wishes to Dan and his family. Too young for these health issues.

BobD-anything that can shed light on this would be appreciated.

ThePiombino · Aug 10, 2012

*fingers crossed* for Danny!

Me2SouthBend · Aug 10, 2012

For healths sake, Get healthy young man. Football is secondary.

We are hoping to hear from his parents today. If I do, I'll let you guys know ASAP.

? you know the fam

IrishLax · Aug 10, 2012

As clash already said, it's sounding like it's not a concussion and was actually a non-contact "injury"... so that's kind of terrifying. Word on the street is some sort of stroke.

Keep Danny in your prayers today if you're a religious type.
