Gotta respect his game. He’s playing possum like a champ. They’ll be more formidable than PU. Not a high bar but I think most fans are expecting another relaxing win for four quarters & I don’t think that will be the case.

Find these people for me.

I don't think Chuck mentally has it in him to beat ND. I wouldn't be surprised if he quietly cheers when ND scores on his own team.

The week 4 watch party thread must have gotten a little too heated and taken down quickly. I blame Irish#1 for hurting folks feelings. 😆
I'm more confused than hurt considering the amount of those threads I created last season. It was nary an issue. I know IrishLion is often busy with his mosh pitting and storming the castle.

Meh. Whatever. Gilmore Girls. Rocky Road ice cream. Kennedy Urlacher.

there’s some on this board. There’s some on Twitter. There’s some on the ND coaching staff. There’s some on the ND football team. There’s some on the ND beat.
I don't doubt you're correct, old friend.

Put me in the camp that really has no idea what to expect. I've love something in between TAMU and Purdue. Just a win would probably suffice.

Still getting to know this group a bit. At least in my living room.

I don't this week. Like I said earlier, the boys are probably still embarrassed about the NIU fiasco. They're not gonna let it happen twice in three weeks.

Working on the prediction poll as we speak
I think we win, but I think it’s a one score game and we’re sitting on the edge of our seat late in the 4th quarter. Miami had a good team last year and while they’re 0-2, the defense appears to be pretty salty. I can see them shutting down our passing game and this being a low scoring game. 17-10 Irish

You know me all too well. BTW, Christy wants to know when you're coming back to see her. :p

Not hard to shut down what doesn’t exist.

She actually reached out the other day asking for a work reference. Must be trying to get into Dancers… 🤷‍♂️

Lots of ND connections on this Redskins RedHawks coaching staff:

Miami will bring plenty of familiarity to Notre Dame Stadium, starting with head coach Chuck Martin, now in his 11th season in Oxford after four seasons in South Bend. Offensive coordinator Pat Welsh and defensive coordinator Bill Brechin were on Notre Dame’s staff with Martin. Safeties coach Robert Blanton played for Notre Dame during Martin’s tenure, which included time as offensive coordinator and defensive coach. Quarterbacks coach Gus Ragland not only started against Notre Dame during Miami’s last trip here seven years ago, but he was also on staff at Notre Dame (2019-22), which included Freeman’s first as head coach.

Can't wait to RTDB down their throat and pat ourselves on the back for a dominant run game while pretending we didn't pass b/c we didn't need to. These are the teams you hone your weakness - I really don't care if Leonard runs for six TDs if he passes for none. Need to develop threats that can compete against the big boys.

This is a tough matchup. We aren't talking about some SEC or B10 opponent here. This is a MAC team, at HOME for goodness sake!

ND just needs to keep it close into the 4th quarter and then hope for a miracle special teams play or something to pull it out!

Sampson posted his interview with Chuck Martin on the Independent. Good listen. I love the idea of him telling his team how big of a ND fanboy he is.
