#BC may be closing in on a coach. Many sources indicate #ND Def Cord Bob Diaco is the top choice if Al Golden turns it down.

 

[ndfi78]

Come on Golden, do us a solid!

[Riddickulous]

College Football Lives Joe Schad is reporting that Coach Diaco could become the BC head coach before the NC and therefore not coach in the game.

Would be a huge slap in the face to this team if he abandoned them before their job was done.

 

[Luckylucci]

I would tend to agree. As much as these players love Diaco, I just can't see him doing this.

 

[phork]

Why would Golden go to BC? Is BC some kind of hot destination suddenly?

And in other news:

 

[RDU Irish]

Yeah, I don't get this train of thought insinuating BC is an above average coaching job?

It's a great start.

It sucks they play us annually.

Not anymore. We don't play again til 2015 and I'm not sure that will even happen with the new ACC contract.

 

[Defense]

Quite a few SEC jobs up for grabs and we love D coaches. FWIW our D coor is also interveiwing.

True.

Damn.

 

[Whiskeyjack]

SBNation's Bill Connelly just published an article of his early thoughts on the match-up.

Some good stuff in there, particularly regarding Te'o's unique role in our defense this year.

Per @BGI_LouSomogyi - NCAA source has shared that the officiating crew for the #NotreDame-#Bama national title game will be from the Pac 12.

 

[ACamp1900]

Thank. God. SEC would be game over.

Anyway, saw an interesting stat on TV... Notre Dame runs for about thirty more yards a game than Bama... Wouldn't have guessed that one.

Its not much better after what we did to Stanford and USC this year. I would rather a set of refs from sun belt or conference USA. Something we haven't played against and rarely play.

Not sure if the stats they were showing were 'adjusted' (ie. removing FCS teams or something), but based on pure numbers Bama run game has averaged about 20yds/game more than has ND's (225yds/game vs 203yds/game)

I liked the Hochuli crew.

 

[clashmore_jon]

I've always thought Pac 10/12 refs were ok (despite 2005 bush push). Hate Big East/Big 10 refs. My favorites are ACC though.

 

[TheSunIsRising]

I'm joking. that was just too good to pass up

And I agree with you wholeheartedly. It's weird being in class and then seeing Mrs. McCarron's huge...tracks of land, and having to quickly scroll away from it.

Besides we're ND fans and can do better than talking about a QB's mom publicly.

Definitely true.

I must admit though, that given the choice, would much rather have the discussion about AJ's mom than the 'racks' that both Andre Smith and Terrence Cody were sporting while playing at Bama - those were obscene.

Mmmmmmmmmm Mouthwatering Flapjacks.....

 

[TheSunIsRising]

BTW - Greyhammer, Ickythump, and any other Braves fans out there:

Would you please remove (turn-off) your Braves' logos until January 8th (or Jan 22nd in the unlikely event of a Bama win)? They look way too much like the Bama 'A'. One of these times I won't catch myself before sending the neg reps


I will gladly send you a $1,000 gift after the 8th to cover the cost of you buying them again if money is the issue.

Look for the cowboy that is rolling before you neg rep.

those are some serious cheese t!ties! smh

 

[ACamp1900]

I seen those breasts,... And they're fantastic!!

 

[rikkitikki08]

I think we can all agree this is the most important game of the season.......Breaking news!!!

 

[rikkitikki08]

Mmmmmmmmmm Mouthwatering Flapjacks.....

Those pictures are borderline ban worthy........

 

[johnnykillz]

So, Griner has nudies now, huh..?

 

[IrishSteelhead]

The best part is those pictures are from the combine, and Cody is clearly stoned out of his gourd in his, or was just crying after being laughed at and pegged with dodgeballs for 45 minutes.

Lines up well with the tshirt aforementioned.

 

[In Lou I Trust]

Not sure where to post this but this thread looks as good as any. This Saturday, while wearing my usual ND hoodie and hat, I was called a bandwagon fan!! At first I was a little pissed but then I got the biggest ****ing smile on my face! For so long I've gotten **** for supporting an underachieving Irish team that it feels wonderful to get **** for supporting a team that is clearly relevant again. Loving the hate!!!
