thanks. this is a great site, i follow it closely but lack anything resembling unique insight so i've never been inspired to post - instead i just absorb others' great info. but i thought folks would get a kick out my ishaq sighting...

Oh pshaw! I have the insight of a horse's ***, but I post frequently. May be too frequently...

Anyways, post more! It's fun!

I happened to see him in the subway in Manhattan. He was with a whole bunch of friends who loved the fact that I recognized him. He's a nice kid, and my 5 year old was excited as hell to see a real ND player. And man, he looked huge.

That is a really cool story. Welcome aboard! Feel free to post more often. Incidentally, are you a Kiel guy or a Mauk guy?

JUST KIDDING! (Do not answer that!)

f that - after the spring game i'm a golson guy

You're gonna fit in nicely.

Off topic, Autry Denson was the first ND player I ever met in person. He came to a SB Clay vs Buchanan bball game and he signed my hat. Still have the hat. Good times.

A lot of players getting tattoos recently:

It seems to be the thing to do now. At least we know Eilar and Ishaq aren't trading their Sun Bowl stuff for them, since they weren't on the team then and nobody cares about Sun Bowl memorabilia.

I'd love to see a pic of on of our players handing a personal check to the cashier as a big "See Pryor, this is what is supposed to happen"

Do you see what happens, Terrelle? Do you see what happens when you don't
accept illegal benefits?

Funny you guys said something about him smiling. He seems so serious and reserved all the time...you can tell he is a real "thinker."

Did I mention how happy i am that he is Irish? :)

Looks like Manti started something....the linebackers are starting to get sleeve tattoes. Look sweet though.

I would absolutely love to see someone like Tuitt get a giant shillelagh tattoo down the side of his arm and have it adorned in shamrocks.

Then, when we play USC he will clothesline tackle Barkley with said arm, and simply flex the tattoo in his face.

I remember reading somewhere that Ishaq's parents did not approve of him getting tattoos and always took pride in the fact that their kids always dress properly. Not saying that the tattoo is bad but dad must have given him a pass for this

I can imagine the conversation...

Ishaq: Dad, I'm getting a tattoo.
Father: No, you're not.
Ishaq: It would make me smile.
Father: Smile? You haven't smiled since...I can't even remember...Fine, get the tattoo.
Ishaq: Thanks, Dad.

I had to explain myself to wife why I just started laughing....she shook her head when I told her.

^ That's funny because I have Ishaq on my kickoff team and he flies down the field and absolutely murders people.

It's pretty much awesome.

haha...funny story about Ishaq.

The night before the spring game. a few of the players were over at the house playing video games.Manti and RJ are straight going at each other in NCAA. RJ running his mouth like normal...then the door opens and Ishaq peaks his head through and once he sees Manti he busts out this smile from ear to ear. I leaned over to my buddy and i was like "Ishaq smiles?" haha But as the night went on Ishaq and I were playin ncaa, i destroyed him by about 20 in the first game. As soon as it ended he was like rematch. So in the 2nd game goes on its closer...and at the end he wound up kicking a FG as time expired. When it went through ishaq jumps up starts yelling "WHAT NOW SON, WHAT WHAT!" and was running around the room. It was hilarious seeing him get a lil fired up over xbox. But he is definitely a quiet kid, but once he gets around his peers he is about as outgoing as a person can get haha.

And I found it quite funny just reading the posts when he verbaled haha. "The server is gonna crash" posts were outstanding haha

That's an awesome story. Glad to see he and Manti get along well. Manti seems like a good guy to model oneself after.
