Slaughter just said Farley, in his first year playing defense, has really stepped up and could even be a "starter in some packages"... also listed Keivarae Russel as the frosh who has most impressed him.

hmm...interesting

WORST UNIS I'VE EVER SEEN.

Listen, I know we're all ND fans, but even the biggest homer should admit to himself that these are just God awful. My God.

Take them outside, douse them in gas, and set them on fire

I want to get back to football a little. I thought Kelly looked and sounded more like a coach who was relaxed and comfortable where he and the team are in their development. He didn't seem so much like he was trying to convince us where he is going to take Notre Dame football but more like he felt like the all of the pieces are starting to be there.

The more he talked about the 11 on 11 and how important it was in developing the QB's, the more impressed I was with his thinking. He's changing, evolving his process to be successful. I'll admit I came away impressed.

He wasn't selling, he was a coach who is pleased with his team.

It may not mean wins, especially against this schedule but I wouldn't be surprised with more wins than we think.

The thing about these new uniforms is that Notre Dame has recognized that nothing we think really matters as much as what the players think. And they love the uniform.

#NotreDame AD Jack Swarbrick told me there is one possible repeat site for Shamrock Series games in '14-'16 stretch: New York City.

Apparently they reveresed the direction of the Leprechaun so it would be facing the opponent during the game.

I actually kind of like the helmets. My biggest personal issue when I first saw was that I wasn't the biggest fan of the number font. For some reason, just didn't appeal to me. It's just one game, and it's for the players and recruits - I will always support what gets them excited for the program and on the field.

Looks like we got a mixed bag here opinion wise. Personally I love them! They are a lot nicer to me than last years Shamrock series. I wouldn't mind getting me one with Aaro... Manti Te'o's #5 cemented on it! Sorry I couldn't resist, I wanted a lynch under the lights jersey so bad last year! Anyways, great job ND!

I think the biggest thing that I like more about this years jersey vs. last years is the undershirt / sleeves part. I hated the dull, off-gold from last year with a passion. The ones this year complement the uniform much better IMO.

BK answers that Golson has thrown ONE interception in 126 passes, and then notes that the starter will be the guy who best protects the ball. Coincidence? I think not.

So I like to check out ND Nation for a good laugh and came across the post below that pretty much sums up the sentiment over there.

Just thought it was funny

ND could cut the top of bowl back off, wear the ND jersey's that are in the College HOF, run the Notre Dame Box for 395 rushing yards a game, and they'd still complain that we didn't gain 400.

Meh, it's just for 1 game. Not sure about the helmet but the rest of the uniform is pretty nice.

Like others have said, its great for recruits and the players enjoy wearing new gear.

Tons of fans like them. It's called an opinion. And par for the course, anyone with an opinion that differs from yours is wrong. What a joke.

I didn't like them until I saw them on Manti and Eifert. But the truth is, it doesn't matter if WE like them. Recruits and players LOVE these type of unis. Look at how many players talk about Oregon's unis. They make a difference, whether you want to believe it or not (winning trumps all of course, but I'll take any type of difference I can get).

Bottom line, if the players like them, then that trumps all...
