The RIP thread scares me the most, but since Burt Reynolds died, not much can really make me sad in there anymore.
I'm sad that two of my favorites, Burt Reynolds and Norm MacDonald, never got to have their moment on SNL's Celebrity Jeopardy. Burt loved the sketches, and he agreed to come on the show when Norm was playing as Burt in Celebrity Jeopardy. He was supposed to punch out Norm, and then he would take over and give even stupider answers. Norm got fired before they could make it happen. Now they're both gone. It would have been hilarious.

Ben Morrison is alive and well.

As a recruit, he was a three star athlete.

Go figure.
Probably because he was tucked away demolishing 1A football in iowa and already had the offer he wanted. Dude is a straight up stud of an athlete though. 10.7 100m dash. I bet he would have been higher ranked if he put himself out there more.

That's typically how it goes with Iowa. The best athletes are playing Qb, Iowa gets them and puts them where they can actually go from there.

Named 2nd team pre-season All American. Glad the AP got it right for him while the "experts" at ESPN and 247 don't even include him in the top 100 players.

Great coverage, and I mean GREAT coverage. Now go back and watch Gray give up the final TD against Mich in 2011 (talked about in Tommy thread). I've said for most of my adult life that ND corners NEVER get their head around. And these last two seasons I've noticed it almost every game...night and day!

It’s not difficult to coach…some prior coaches at nd taught the technique to not turn your head and instead swat ball as player goes to catch it… easier to stay with wr that way but harder to make plays

I'll NEVER forget the Dennard arm punts of the early 2010's.

Hahaha, I used to scream turn your head around at the tv during ND games for years, but I totally agree. The last two years have been night and day.

THIS is the difference coaching makes. It makes it that much more important to hire and retain good ones.

Albeit he's a sophomore
Dude has a chance to make a lotttt of money today.
Ball out Ben!
No doubt. He balls out today and he starts entering the first half of first round conversation next year.

Joe Alt stands to make a lot of money tonight too. He dominates and he goes for a top 15 pick lock to potentially becoming the 1st tackle off the board inside the top 5. He has all the tools and the pedigree.

Should be a fun night. Go Irish

Also - same for Cam tonight. Not same level of money on the line but still a bunch. His durability and injury history will always set him back some, but a good game tonight could make a huge difference

Screw the scouts, Cam has a chance to prove his talent to me tonight. I just haven’t seen what everyone else has, but would be ecstatic to be proven wrong tonight.

More important to me.
If Cam balls out tonight - he's going to go down in my personal shrine of favorite ND players of all time. Love him so much.
