New Poster and Other Goodies

[Kaneyoufeelit]

Not bragging, i was called out and had to defend myself.

If i'm not welcomed here i will move on. I enjoy talking to ND fans and hearing what they have to say about the team and the staff.

It's cool to me, if going on a site to read stuff i like makes me a geek or nerd i guess i'm guilty.

the last thing i want is trouble or making enemies, i came here for a fresh start, DD just got to hectic, cool people in there put had to take a break.

Can we start all over, nom hard feelings to the guy that attacked me.

just want to talk to people that love ND just like me and not get personal

I just thought it was funny. That's all

Irishfan33, first welcome! I have read your posts at DD and they have always been spot on. From Rabasa to Hood you have shared plenty of great information. Some people here get into it with every person that has ties to the program for some reason and I have no idea why. They are still really good people so I wouldn't take it personally. Just for the record, to all the other posters on here, this dude has never once been wrong about anything he posted over there. Especially with Hood. He called that situation long before he committed and then decommitted. I guess take it for what it's worth. Man this place is crazy sometimes.

 

[IrishLax]

The guy bragging about his insider status and all of his pictures of himself with players is telling someone they need a gf and a hobby. The Internet is a fun place

Bragging? That'd be my like talking about my day-to-day as an engineer and you calling it "bragging." It's his j-o-b.

 

[Big23Head]

I support Irishfan33 as being an accurate, valuable and responsible poster/source of information. He was 95-100% correct on Lynch, Rabasa, Perryman, Hood and a few other recruits off the top of my head. And like Lax said, it is his job to be around HS football players with the photos being proof for those that need it.

And very good post by yankeeND, agreed

Not quite. His job is to provide info to schools. Coming here is a hobby. He came to a board to provide info that people obviously care about and then criticized someone for caring about it. I just thought it was a funny. I certainly don't have a problem with him and I looked at his posts on DD and he certainly has good info that I hope he shares with us now. Sorry for any confusion

You always get the good avatars.

Irishfan33, don't even sweat anybody putting you down. If people from DD vouch for you, you're info is great IMHO. There's a certain group here who can't stand any inside insight brought to this site by pretty much anyone (one of them ripped me for some info I received and called it bogus, joined another paysite and then praised the reporter for the EXACT same info I had relayed. The best part was that I got that info from the very reporter he was praising LOL), until the proof is so overwhelming that they eventually give in (see: Point, Turning).

I am lucky enough to get some really good info from time to time but I got tired of hearing from certain posters that my info was b.s., so I just stopped posting it and give it to ISD when I have time (I'm no angel, btw...I've had my moments here lol). But this is a great site with tons of great posters, so hopefully you'll stick around and not let a few speak for the entire group.

I always appreciated the info 33, keep us posted if ND gets back in it for Elijah. He's still my favorite prospect in this class and i'm hoping things turn back around the Irish's way in this one.

For starters, thanks for taking the high road and please stick around. The back and forth could've gotten petty and out of hand in a hurry with a different attitude. I'd probably be 10 posts deep into defensive name calling in your shoes at this point.

Secondly, there always seems to be a groundswell to lynch "insiders." Sometimes the so-called "insiders" deserve it, and we've seen examples in the past. But let's all please try to keep it on the level, and unless it is really warranted (see: Epitome "hearing some things") be as respectful as possible. The handful of people with legitimate connections to coaches, administrators, and players are an incredible value added to this site.

Don't let em hate. There are people on here that, unless you do things their way, will put you down.

Even if people miss from time to time...it's a message board that is FULL OF SPECULATION.

I hear there's good money in that....

People just dont know how much goes into recruiting....
It is a tough game and ND is always going to be a step behind because we play by the rules 99.9% of the time... So many kids that would love to go to ND that we recomend every year that get crossed off because they would not be accepted.

Kelly has done an incredble job at ND getting in the player he has, i feel for him sometimes because of who he is not able to get because of the restrictions and dont think for a second he doesnt try....

Kelly is going to get alot of things changed in his time at ND
Field turf was acually supposed to go in last season, thats why the sidelines got done if you noticed before last season.

Jumbotron is still 2-3 years away "IMO"

Heavy Juco recruits in 2-3 years, Kelly says they will get us over the Hump

I was with you right up to "Heavy Juco recruits". Is ND opening up a Kinesiology Deparment in 2 years?

No, maybe Parks and Recreation Management?


I'll take you at your word that you "know" recruiting but you don't seem to know much about ND Admissions or ND Academics.

Say The Administration gives Kelly five "You can be as dumb as an Auburn football player" passes a year. How do they stay eligible?

This isn't UNC profs are rolling over with "no show" classes, changing grades, and not requiring assignments be turned in.

This isn't OSU where Katzenmoyer got 3 "A"s in summer school, his only career "A"s, in golf, Music Appreciation, and Aids Awareness. And the OSU President when he learned of this replied, "Gee, I didn't know you could be an upperclassman at OSU and not have a major. Katz didn't attend classes at OSU his senior year but remained eligible.

This isn't USC where Ballroom dancing keeps one eligible.

It isn't Tennessess where Walking and Jogging are separate classes.


ND doesn't have 40,000 students and 200 majors to hide the academically challenged.

ND's Student Body has an AVERAGE Test Score of 1350 (Math and English) and were in the Top 5% of their HS graduating class. They are highly motivated as some 98% of them graduate and it doesn't take them 6 or 7 years to do so.

Again, how do those "waivers" stay in school at ND?

ND has an excellent Tutoring Program where they teach the athletes, how to study, how to take notes, how to be a student. It teaches skills that enable the student athlete to successfully compete AND succeed in a competitive classroom environment. The ND Tutoring Program doesn't do the athletes homework, their assignments, nor fill out their test form for them.

ND has taken JUCO's but rarely and those admitted were qualified to compete in ND's academic environment. Moriarity was the QUALIFIED exception. Rudy and Skip Holtz came via the CSC's Holy Cross. Keep in mind how many years ago that happened. How ND academics have gotten more competive since then. How the NCAA regulations/Clearinghouse now requires 16 core courses for incoming freshman, the same number ND has required for decades. That the Clearinghouse (now called The Eligibilty Center) has raised the minimum GPA to 2.3. That in order to transfer as a JUCO for an NCAA scholarship a recruit either has to GRADUTE from a 2 year JUCO program OR meet the Test Score/GPA/Core Course Requirements they previously failed to do. Also recognize that the elgibility clock, 5 years to play 4, is ticking while at JUCO and they won't be traferring in as ND academic juniors. Since when has ND beeb interested in "one and done" Cam Newtons? Could it be happen? Yes, for that rare academically individual like Moriarity who had health issues coming out of HS NOT academic issues. BTW, the NCAA 5 in 4 years reg would have barred Moriarity and Rudy.

In '86 ND admitted three Prop 48s, two in football and one in basketball. All succeeded academically but The Administration said never again. They were running a university not a remedial HS program.

Say ND waives the calculus/precalculus requirements, the ability to read and write beyond an 8th grade level, foreign language, and science classes. How do those waivers get a 2.0? In what ND degree program?

When Urban Meyer interviewed for the ND HC job, he demanded 5 waivers a year. UND said no, they have to be able to compete AND succeed in the classroom.

They still do.


Pulling up the grass and putting in a jumbotron have always been a matter of time. "Heavy JUCOS" requires a University frontal lobotomy.

Usually those are pretty big knockers, some would even classify as "top heavy".

Great Post man,
It's just something Coach said, maybe he was dreaming.
Thanks for clearing that up, after reading that i appreciate the 5-2 record even more.
Kelly finds ways to win the right way, it may not be pretty but it's something ND fans can be proud of because we play fair.

This is why I make it my number 1 notre dame site, I may never go to a pay site. I even have a Xavier basketball pay site, and I may get more information for Notre Dame football here than Xavier Basketball there
