He’s fine.

He will be full-go by prep week, which is the 26th.
There is no need for him to tackle for two weeks of fall. Just one week of fall practice & one week of prep week.
Fall camp is 31 days. If he doesn’t tackle for 14 of them, who cares?
Obviously college is different but we don't even tackle at all in camp at the high school level. Too much of an injury risk

Interesting ranking from Greg McElroy.

Everyone talks SEC defenses, and Greg is a SEC guy, but he has his top 10 defenses for 2024, & the top four are midwestern schools, OSU, Iowa, UM & ND.

Iowa won't be able to feast on shitty big ten west offenses this year.

Loved hearing Rubio is officially back for the summer. That young man could've named his price had he gone in the portal. 6'5", 300 lbers are a rare option in there.
I hope he has healthy excellent year wreaking chaos with Onye on the second wave with a good chance to start in '25.

It’d be fun if ND was the one to put their nuts on the table and went to Boise

Decent schedule next year with A&M, @ Arkansas, @ Miami (FL), and USC, but could use another quality opponent. That would be a fun match up.

That's 11 for 2025. Need one more

eta: ah, Stanford. Unless there's some scheduling quirk going on with them

Yeah fun game that we should win. Better than most of our one-offs lately.

Pretty cool game for sure. A little surprising Boise St but suppose nothing is too out of the ordinary considering the huge changes in college football recently. Will be a fun game. Go Irish!

1.35 million for Boise to come to south bend is simply not a good way to spend money imo.

Again, Boise isn’t the Boise from 10 years ago but they are big enough you shouldn’t be paying that kinda of money to play them. Just my opinion.

Kinda of cool to play someone different but they aren’t the Boise of old.
Yeah. Even the Boise Football Twitter calling it "Matchup of two Legendary teams" is a bit of a stretch. There's one legendary team, and one team that had a nice little run a decade or so ago.

Anyone is going to want to get paid for a one-off at our place. That's how this works. And why would/should Boise take less money than, say, Western Michigan? They know they'll drive more eyeballs, even if just out of novelty. If anything the fact that they are "big enough" gives them the leverage to expect more money, unless we're going to their place too, which we aren't.

Really isn't all the much compared to what other MWC teams are getting to travel

Don't have them on any of our future schedules after this year. Curious if it's just a snafu with them joining the ACC and they sort that out.

I haven't heard anything about either party losing interest in the annual rivalry. I'm just curious if the ACC would amend our agreement to include Stanford in the five game agreement, meaning we could keep Stanford every year + 4 more ACC teams.
