2024 Fall Camp Thread

[Blazers46]

Ill be in the lobby, hiding behind the flower planters.

Bang bang!! (Joking people, I’m really not going)

 

[Ndaccountant]

A lot of schools do this. Just helps keeps guys focused and away from distractions.

That breakfast buffet is a distraction.

Joking aside, I'm currently standing where that "I" is in Hilton on the map. Its work related, I promise.....

Diarrhea distraction, hotel breakfast poops are the worst.

I’m on campus 2-3 times per week for work. I’ve probably seen you several times and never knew it.

Probably best to keep it that way.

I think they have a better understand of how good TAMU is.
Brice on the II pod said he heard from an NFL scout who was raving about the Aggies defense.

ND fans know ND well, but that's only half of the equation. The ND defense will be good, but do we know that Elko leading the Aggies D won't be better?

There's a lot we don't know and neither does Vegas. Uncertainty is why it's so hard to have confidence this time of year. Hope & excitement can grow exponentially but so should uncertainty. Even the certainties can be lost quickly: starters, all-americans, etc.

But if we match TAMU to ND on what we know vs. what we don't, it looks like ND 'should' be the better team but it's with caveats.

We know the TEs are good, if Evans is back to full health.
We know the WR has way more athleticism and returning production than last year.
We know the staff is incredibly high on the RBs.
We know the 60-70% returning starters on defense were really good last year.
We know we added 3 quality additions who have a lot of experience and talent.
We know Golden can create a disruptive game plan.
Denbrock has a lot of experience.

What we don't know/wildcards:
How good is ND OL?
How good can Riley Leonard be with this supporting cast?
How good is TAMU defense under Elko?
How good can Weigmann be and is he prepared for very strong test in his return?
Who minimizes turnovers?
Whose special teams performs best? Can they impact the game substantially?
Who are the breakout players this year for both teams?
Can Klein beat Golden over 60 mins?
Can Denbrock beat Elko (he'll be driving the defensive bus) over 60 mins?
How resilient is this team? Don't get shook!

;TLDR - I'm on my lunch break and wrote too much.

They stayed there last year too. Basically it’s a "i know where everyone is at all times" thing.

Get Max Redfield in to drive them around town when they need stuff.

They were just were just driving around and discussing game film

I guess I thought they only did that on Friday nights before a game. I know they stay at the Double Tree in downtown the night before a home game. Makes sense to do it for camp too.

Okay fellas. Get a room before this goes too far.

I see nothing wrong with staying in room 405 and accidently leaving an extra room at the front desk....

IMO, this is going to be a low scoring defensive game with one miscue being the difference. Could be a penalty, bad punt, fumble, int, missed block, missed tackle, TFL to stall a drive.

Agree. If I were a betting man it would be so tempting to take the under, but games like that where you expect it often seem to go the other way.

 

[arrowryan]

I just put money on the under. That seems like the smart play to me.

Should I sprinkle A&M ML just to hedge my happiness?

I would be a happy man to bet the under and see our lads win 42-7.

First Kris Mitchell highlight that I remember. Great to see it.

And BTW, I don't know what happened this year but I have to keep pulling up the entire roster to remember guy's numbers. So many jersey changes/new faces.

Had that big catch in the spring game too. He’s a threat for sure.

You're doing better than me. I was scouring the roster looking for a WR named Kreezy.

Any word on Mitchell Evans' recovery? He made some ridiculous plays against Duke and Ohio State last year. He's a tough matchup for any defense.

He’s full go. No brace
