so just left the pep-rally. im a frosh, and so proud of the undergrad students, there were nelson signs allll over, and a nelson chant. also, i saw him after and talked to him, my best friend goes to school with him so i talked a little about her, he was sooo surprised at how we were embracing him. also, ive talked to/met a lot of recruits here, he is up and away one of the classiest and nicest guys ive met. hes awesome. one of the students made a huge "letter of intent" poster and brought it over to nelson at the end, who was laughin and seemed to love the attention, like he was not expecting it at all. oh, and he signed it haha

I can't wipe the smile off my face. Reps for putting in recruiting work.

Hahah I was the one who made the letter of intent and Nelson sign here poster. Brian Kelly gave us a shout out for it during the pep ralley and like jimmymac said Nelson checked the maybe section of our will you come here sign. I don't know how to get an image in here, but if I did I would post the picture of our signs.


If you want, I will PM my email address to you and I will upload them for you.

i dont know if the leprechaun opening was in the video.... he might be the worst public speaker ive ever head

That's what caused my complaint. It's "Falconry", not "Falconing".

His delivery of those terrible jokes reminded me of Brick Tamland:

Brick-Tamland-brick-tamland-1981265-332-277.jpg


Brick Tamland: Excuse me, Veronica?
Veronica Corningstone: Yes? What is it, Brick?
Brick Tamland: I would like to extend to you an invitation to the pants party.
Veronica Corningstone: Excuse me?
Brick Tamland: [struggling] The... party. With the... with the pants. Party with pants?
Veronica Corningstone: Brick, are you saying that there's a party in your pants and that I'm invited?
Brick Tamland: That's it.
Veronica Corningstone: Did Brian tell you to say this, Brick?
Brick Tamland: No. Yes. He did.
Veronica Corningstone: Okay. No. I don't want to go to a party in your pants.
Brick Tamland: Very well. Ian, would you like to go to a party in my pants?
Ian: No, Brick.
Brick Tamland: All right. Let's go.
[runs off, there is a sound of crashing off screen]
Brick Tamland: It's all right. I'm all right.

He looks like (on film) the fastest receiver we' could have since the Rocket.

Irish2015 and i were the ones with the signs. needless to say nelson was the main reason we went to the pep rally although jonas gray was pretty it good it's a shame that there weren't more students cause he couldve made some noise. but yeah nelson and alfford were on a cart we walked by holding on our signs and alford called us over so nelson could check an answer. he was really cool and appreciative hopefully he'll like whatever atmosphere we can create tomorrow

Went to one pep rally, my freshman year, and I left after 20 minutes.

Regardless, good work on the Nelson signs. I'm sure that made him feel like the ****ing man. If we can't play the "He Got Game" card, that's a close second for a kid that really seems to fit the ND prototype.

To the poster that sits behind the recruits, at the '05 ND vs. USC game, we had 12 recruits doing pushups and one of the guys in our group of 40 pink shirts was wearing a just golden bikini bottom.

Top it.



Side note: Huge fan of Friday happy hours

I'm going to guess that you're the one in the Phillies shirt. :)

To painful....had to skip....

The pep rallies have been garbage for years. Doesn't help that most of the leprechauns in the last few years have sucked ****. My boy, Dave, was killer last year. Aside from that, the leprechauns and cheerleaders have done a poor job with them. Hopefully that didn't deter Nelson from having a good time. Again, keep up the good work fellas and put the pressure on the recruits to HAVE A GREAT TIME.

Pretty awesome fellas - both talkin the talk and walkin the walk! You guys might just be at the start of a new type of fan recruiting. Fan recruiting websites are becoming bigger and bigger. Some important outlets are going to start putting more and more money into it.

In 10 years you guys may look at one another (or type across 1,000 miles) and say, "We started that."

Hopefully Nelson looks at the new era of ND Football and thinks that he can say the same thing to his former ND teammates in 10 years.
