I almost feel bad for SDSU. Hughes to the right will sound like a skipping record.

seriously. i feel so sympathy for anyone after last year. it wasnt the record that really pissed me off it was the rest of the nation laughing at us. rubbing everything they could in our faces. i hope charlie comes out this year and just hurts peoples feeling. but in a classy way :)

We have to remember how polarizing we are as a program. It seems people either love ND or hate ND. When we are struggling, the "hate" crowd are overjoyed and let everyone know it. When we are doing well, they seem to quietly pout and whine about how "holier than thou" we carry ourselves. I hope that CW can get the hate crowd back into the pout and whine mode!

Xavier Nixon narrows list of schools down

By Sammy Batten

Jack Britt High School’s Xavier Nixon, who is one of the nation’s top recruiting targets on the offensive line, narrowed his list of college possibilities to nine on Wednesday evening.

In-state universities North Carolina and N.C. State made the cut along with the nationally recognized programs at Clemson, Florida, LSU, Miami, Notre Dame, South Carolina and West Virginia, according to Jack Britt head coach Richard Bailey. Bailey met with Nixon and his parents, Kenneth and Fotini Nixon, for nearly three hours Wednesday to discuss the nearly 40 scholarship offers received by the 6-foot-6, 275-pounder.

“I think he has a great list and he can’t go wrong with any of those schools,’’ Bailey said. “Now he’s going to spend the next three or four months getting to know the coaches at those schools a little more.’’

I just HAVE to respond to this. This board is currently populated by people who are mostly die-hard fans of ND. Not surprising, considering ND is going through a down phase. Some of the fans that populate the boards right now are knowledgeable and some of them are not. As in most bards. As a result, when some people make unreasonable predictions, like winning a NC this year, there are some knowledgeable fans who temper their enthusiasm and give them a dose of reality.

When ND starts to win, there are a lot more jackasses that come to the boards. The ratio of these people with unreasonable expectations is too much. In all the enthusiasm, the people with reason also get suckered in. And when the team doesn't meet expectations, all criticisms are answered with meaningless rhetoric. It is unfortunate really. Now it is extremely easy for me to give specific examples, but I won't go into that. Only this board seems to be immune to this effect. The ND boards on scout and rivals are a joke. That's the reason why I don't post on any other ND boards. Make no mistake, this is exactly the the reason why people
quietly pout and whine about how "holier than thou" we carry ourselves.

ant you seem like a knowledgeable football guy. its true in some cases where no matter what some fans are going to say this is our year were gonna shock the world. but that is what makes football great. you have to recognise these people and not even argue with them because in thier mid they are right. you will defend your team and we will defend ours. so when people make outlandish remarks just realize that youre not gonna change them. and move on to another conversation with someone else who might be on the same level as you and discuss the teams. people hate the yankees, the cowboys, the lakers for much of the same reasons people hate us. we are a storied school with alot of history and we are always on tv. osu has another rich tradition filled school but hasnt had the exposure we have. notre dame has been on tv forever, and with the stories going back to rockne, the gipper and well god knows how many stories there are it gets annoying to people sometimes. "im tired of hearing notre dame all the time" is what people say so yeah when the mighty notre dame falls (as we have recently) people rejoice in some cases. every team has fans of all levels. i hope you are as passionate about your program as we all are of ours. you guys have a great team this year and i hope to hell you beat the shit out os usc, but when you play us in the future i hope you trip over your feet.

ESPN has Nixon listing ND as his top school. Not sure how reliable that is. But it makes me fool good inside.

The Irish are trying to get Nixon to schedule an official visit to campus for the Michigan game in September. Let's hope they get him to visit.

He has said he will announce at the HS All Star game, so a commitment during his visit is unlikely.
