Is someone going 2-0 here? 1-1?

I'm grown so accustomed to saying OSU 2-0, but I've not felt this confident on the defensive side since maybe Diaco in '11 with the Lynch-Tuitt-Ishaq trio, FWIW. I like the Hamilton to X sell. Also, the Sonny playing with his older brother sell.

Food Thread!! Winston's Irish Sausage. If you haven't tried them, you're missing out on a proper Irish Breakfast

When I make grits, I use Kerry gold and heavy cream instead of water. Then I add whatever accoutrements I want when they are finished. Only use stone ground grits. No instant.

#1 want left on the board. Loy making it feel like ND is gaining momentum. Would be such a power move by Freeman.

Since X is from Iowa, I hope he has good family recipe for cornbread that he brings with him.

... for white folks.

If I dropped you off in Southern Indiana or Illinois, you'd bet your life you were south of the Ohio.

This is fair. I've been through there.

people up here will make it once in a blue moon. But when I'd be out to eat in Florida and Alabama it was everywhere.

Hopefully Nwankpa picks ND so we can talk about food for the next 4 years.

Jalapeno cornbread my friend.



Would really like to land this kid.

Yes,

We absolutely have to win some of these battles with the elites to compete at the top. I also hope we get this done. Just another step in the right direction.

There was some discussion in either Scrauth or Craig's thread about needing Scrauth to get into top 5.

I don't think there's any way we break into top 5 without Xavier in the class.

Hard to say. There's 6 months til NSD. Rice likely isn't coming here but who knows, Kanu/Wagner would be a huge pairing, there will almost certainly be someone in this class that 90% of this board wouldn't recognize their name if said today, and a lot of shuffling will occur in the rankings between now and then.

Agreed. The way to the top 5 isn’t through 1 or 2 guys. It’s landing 4-6. Xavier, Wagner, Kanu, and Schrauth seem most likely of remaining targets. So, if we lose one of those guys, it becomes very hard to do.

Keep in mind, that’s just a made up goal. I don’t really care but it’s at least interesting to follow the numbers. There is a path, it’s just one that doesn’t have a lot of wiggle room. At least it doesn’t look that way presently.
