@IrishChocolate9: Relevant on the field or in the classroom? In a perfect world both but when it all comes down to it i choose the classroom.

Perfectly stated.

first question to Louis..."what's it like playing for Coach Kelly?"

"Well, sometime his face turns purple, but we don't pay much attention to that."

 

[Bogtrotter07]

Nolan shook his head smiling and Kelly loved it too!

" I go to Notre Dame i don't need football."

I read that as: I go to a real school... so I don't have to stick to football as a career like other athletes at other schools...

 

[Bogtrotter07]

And you read it right ACamp. Picture Louis looking up at Kelly and Nolan and nodding his head as he said it.


Kelly also said something like (when talking about the maturation process) when Louis got here he was a handfull, and look at him now!


Nolan, is ready to take Louis on the road because so many people would pay to see it; Nolan as the straigh man, and Louis as Louis.

When he made the purple Kelly comment, Nolan said there was such a thing in this world as colateral, and maybe Nix wouldn't want to use all of his up, he may need it sometime before he was done.

Louis got pretty choked up with pride when he talked about his Mom being at last week's game. He mused that maybe that was why he played so well, and maybe she should be at more. Nolan jumped in with his hand raised and said no, it has to be legal nobody wants to see a line of private jets at the JAX airport.

Good stuff.

Since he demands a doulbe team now I think it is safe to say he is now four handfulls. (or is it hands full?)

Instead of bumping a number of player's threads for their interviews, how about you make a thread in 'ND football' or "Vs. Miami (since these pertain to the upcoming game) for interviews? Don't take this the wrong way, not trying to be a dick.

 

[ndfi78]

The player thread is exactly where they should go, IMO.

 

[Luckylucci]

On II's podcast they mentioned that they think Lou's shoulder might still be bothering him. Not trying to start any rumors. He'll be starting and all but they mentioned it so i thought i would here.

 

[peoriairish]

It's a football season. Everyone is going to have something hurting them. No news here.

 

[Riddickulous]

Te'o tells him this in the post-game video from UND.com: "They can't block you. You're the best nose guard in the whole country."

Yup, that was awesome! I tend to agree with him!

Haven't seen anyone block him yet. Nix is going to make a lot of money on Sundays. All teams, 3-4 and 4-3, should want a guy that size who is that strong and quick as well.

 

[johnnykillz]

He will be coming back next year, right?

 

[IrishLax]

He will be coming back next year, right?

Maybe, maybe not. I imagine he'll want to finish his degree. He'll have two years of eligibility left and if his draft grade comes back moderate-to-low it's hard to imagine him not using at least one of those years to finish his degree and improve his draft stock.

Right now I think he's playing at a 4th-5th round draft pick level but only getting better. Could be a second rounder by the end of the year. All I will say is that if he does go pro we look pretty stupid for not targeting another NG type player in the past class or this current one.

 

[IrishSpartan]

There was a thing with mcshay and kipper and they said they really liked him now I'm worried about our depth at ng

 

[yankeeND]

Hope big Lou stays at least one more year and gets his degree! I think he loves it here though and with the success they are having it should make his choice a little bit easier!
