Ask Merckxe525 aka Dear Abby

[Irish5Saint]

My worthless tidbits no one asked for:

Lived in the same hallway as Ian Book for a year. He was very well liked in our section. He almost did transfer after 2017.

Claypool lived nearby as well. He was pretty chill every time I ran into him; sad to hear all the stories about him since.

Jurkovec would regularly smoke weed and get high in his room. He was super sensitive about getting hit in practice though.

I can't imagine why him and Chip Long didn't get along....

Bua is code for Booyah, a bayou slang if im not mistaken so Denbrock..and someone researched Mercke is a Dutch translation of Marcus...
Will Ash be on here guys?

Sounds good....but these guys have info from 15+ years ago.

Merck and Bua.....would any of us know your names if it got out?

If "yes" let me be the first to say...that's awesome!

The Urban Meyer info intrigued me. I know he's hated by the majority here. But I always had a weird feeling (since he turned ND down for Fla), that he'd still be the coach the brought ND a title. And I find it interesting that the majority of the fans thought "hell no" or "ND would never" about him...but the university still kept tabs on him.

Somewhat of a surreal experience to have nearly every question ever posed on this board be answered. tbh it’s sort of weird. I’m here for it…but still weird.

Yeah we went years getting bread crumbed by folks now we are getting over fed it feels like

Ya, but have you noticed some of the trouble makers have been silent, almost too silent. Still could be a world class troll job.

Why did Freeman start the annual August practice at a local high school football field? I believe they’ve been to Penn, Mishawaka, and now School Field.

I would love to get my eyes on one of those practices.

I had completely forgotten to ask about Phil Jurkovec. It seems obvious he/his fam were a source for Driskell. Did anyone try to get him to stay? Did anyone have words to say after his instagram post?

 

[BuaConstrictor]

Chip is one of the most abrasive coaches I've ever encountered.

To be fair...he's also a REALLY fucking good play caller.

1. No.
2. Yes. and they were NSFW

Bua is Touchdown Jesus

 

[Kingbish01]

I'm certainly not famous.

I like what you did there!

Brother, you can't sweat being made fun of by the mutants on this board.

Their keyboards are covered in cheeto dust and

I told you that in confidence....now everyone knows

What flavor cheetos?

What flavor cheetos?

Flamin hot. Duhh

sounds painful

What happened with Stuckey

 

[Irish2155]

Best thread in IE history. TofTY does this no justice. Thank you, gentlemen

 

[BuaConstrictor]

What happened with Stuckey

Abrasive personality with some players
Felt he should have been given more responsibility than he actually deserved
Was looking for other jobs while also trying to prep to take players if he got one

 

[StPaul_Irish]

What flavor cheetos?

A gentleman never tells. 😉

 

[zelezo vlk]

Will ND fully renew the Stanford series or will they try to negotiate with the ACC over it? I know they’ll play this year but didn’t recall if it’s extended beyond 25

 

[IRISHDODGER]

Notre Dame would prefer to "reimagine" the spring game, instead of simply eliminating it entirely.

good. Wish they’d just do it. Who is actually in favor of the spring game the way it is now? I’m sure some fans might but by now most of the fanbase should realize that the risks far outweigh any perceived benefit.

 

[IRISHDODGER]

tbf to Shelley hot co-eds distracting Urbie would never be a problem at ND

Underrated post

What about the rumor that he was smoking pot with players?

I never heard that..ever.

So I'll go with a "no" on that one. Mercke is free to correct me..but you saying that is the first I've ever read of that.

I think we have an entire thread here devoted to that exact discussion lol

The weird South Bend tribune article about a player having sex with a a female professor’s daughter while she watched right at the same time Jalen Guyton left.. go

We all know Golden Tate punched Jimmy Clausen right in the eye…

But give us the full details. I’m talking paragraphs on paragraphs of what a douche Clausen was, compounded by what a delightful troll Tate must have been.

(I have my own Clausen story I can share, but I’ll wait for the experts to chime in)
