They make you request info - not even posted. Care to share the donation per seat on different sections? Between the 20s was pretty steep IIRC.

Everyone can rest easy, I have sold my extra tickets to ND faithful, and at a slight discount from face value. So, there will be at least 6 ND fans attending. I gave up early retirement for this , so maybe the guy upstairs puts a check mark next to my name?

This might be the most off task post I’ve made, so I apologize if so. I do not know much about much. But I do know a lot about one thing. If we ever play Ohio State in the future, and Jagusah (the elite gym rat wrestler) is blocking Justin Scott (the basketball player), he isn’t getting 1 inch past Jag. That I do know.

Maybe we’ll get to watch them repping against each other on these practice videos when we spank their ass and Scott rethinks his commitment.

I always buy tickets at kickoff or immediately after kickoff if it's a pricy game. The game is so much more enjoyable when you swindle the swindlers. Risky move unless you have balls of steel.

Love the Kelly Greens. At first I was unsure about the pants. These are dope!

I would wager right now we have at least 4 starters better than what Ohio State has: Hartman, Morrison, Alt, Fisher. Then I’d argue there’s not a steep drop off at RB (they are better, but not sure it’s significant). Anywhere else we are competitive? Where are the noticeable gaps? They have a massive WR advantage. Last year I’d give us special teams (and TE), but sadly we have no idea and Mason was a beast. QB is a big advantage, but is it enough if 17-18 of their starters are better than our 4 or 5? I’d love for IB to break down position by position for Ohio State vs ND and how significant the gap is in personnel. Obviously there’s more to a game than comparing position by position talent (ala USC under Helton), but Ohio State tends to have elite coaching.

Driskell already did, He said ND was better at every position except WR and DL. He said S is a wash, and TE is debatable but we're TEU. He also said he's taking ND at LB over tOSU. Him and Vince did their season predictions and Driskell has ND playing Ohio State in a rematch for the national championship. He did say it would be tough to beat them a 2nd time though...

I don't think they're better at DL either.

There's been a lot of hype surrounding Jack Sawyer and JT Tuimoloau for well over a year, and while I think they're good, I think Botelho is better than both of them. We saw his impact once he was given the chance to get on the field more consistently. Despite not seeing the field as much as those two, he finished with as many or more sacks than them. I also think we're going to see the DT spot be advantage ND. Ohio State has a big hole to fill at NT next to Tyleik Williams. Meanwhile, ND seems to have cemented a very strong 2-deep at both DT spots with Mills, Cross, Rubio and Onye. All of them look like dudes and sans Cross, they're all bigger bodies.

Ohio States biggest weakness is their OL. They start a redshirt Freshman at Center and another redshirt freshman. Plus their QB isn’t experienced. Key is gonna be getting pressure and making their QB make mistakes

I agree with this, Mike Hall is the guy on the DL I'm most worried about cause he gave us fits last year. JT had a game against Penn St. but neither he or Sawyer have come close to living up to the hype. JJB had as many sacks as them with way less snaps and had a better pressure rate too and now he's on the good guys.

In the big games, it almost always is.

Listening to “THE Podcast: Kings of Columbus” from yesterday about OSU’s OTs and they have low expectations for their offensive tackles. They don’t expect LT Simmons who transferred from SDSU to do well. RT Fryar was moved to the right side because he’s more comfortable there. They both agree that ND may have the best tackle combo in CFB this year. Go Irish!

You're right but more towards the end when the defense was gassed and Tommy couldn't get a first down

Well at least Mills and Rubio are 305+ this year and Houstan & Onye are pushing 300 with Keanaaina well over.. On paper you'd think we'd do a better job up front with the run.
