ND in a landslide victory.

Can't wait for football.

ha... spring game is the only game all year I feel confident that ND will win anymore...

Anyone know if Mendoza is operating a tailgate? Free food is the best thing about tailgating (also why I'm going to The Shirt unveiling!)

ND in a landslide victory.

Can't wait for football.

I can't figure out why everyone says this. For one team to win, another ND team has to lose...

 

[GreatGolson]

ahh the BG game, the ND fanatic's one tease to make it through the summer. Very excited
to see Daniels, Golson, and Kiel

 

[Redbar]

Please God no injuries... please.

 

[irishbird]

Please God no injuries... please.

Amen to that.

 

[FLDomer]

Does anyone have an updated roster for the sping game?? With the new faces, and # changes it would be nice to have one, to follow from home? Thanks in advance!

 

[Irish Fam]

This a serious question:
What is everyone really hoping to see?

If our RBs just go nuts, doesn't it kind of mean our rush defense is a little behind.
If our qbs all throw the ball all over the field the panic button will definitely be hit on our secondary right?
If our defense dominates should we be worried about the development of our offense?

Save yourself some stress and just enjoy watching football. The rest is meaningless. The spring game is 98% for fans and has very little predictive value

Edit: I will say that the only thing I do find "meaningful" is speed. In other words, if Daniels blows by a DB, I might get excited

exactly! we have won how many spring games in row now??? and we have haven't strung together 3 straight 8 win seasons

 

[Irish Fam]

I don't mean to say I will be stressed out throughout the game haha. I was more so curious what would be some nice things to see.

I would agree that individual performances are really what I am looking forward to the most. That and the tempo and style of offense.

 

[Old Man Mike]

What am I hoping to see that I DON'T consider trivial?

1). linebacker coverage in space. We have really poor data input on how Councell and Spond really look, and I want to see how much Diaco wants Shembo and Williams to actually have to drop. I want to see Grace in action --- calling him "werewolf" is encouraging --- what does this actually translate into on the field? Can Fox actually get up to speed? Is Carlo even close?

2). Who is really getting the DB time opposite Bennett? Are the coaches serious about McDaniel possibly helping? What the heck is going on with Brown, and why can't he figure out how to play zone?

3). How much two TE do we use and how far does Eifert roam all over the field? I doubt that I'll learn this one as, if I were Kelly, I'd save most of these tricks for regular season game two.
Does Niklas play a lot? does the ball get thrown to him?

4). Has Daniels finally "gotten it" and can we see the big show that we're ultimately expecting from him?

5). Does Tommy force himself to run, and does he look even close to natural doing it? Who throws the picks, if any, and who throws the worst inaccurate passes?

The lines are fine; the RBs/Slots are fine; the safeties are fine ... it's the "other guys".

5A.) Who puts the ball on the carpet, if any?

Will there be live chat tomorrow?

Is Niklas playing tomorrow? I thought I read somewhere that he was having concussion-like symptoms or something like that.

 

[DillonHall]

Also, is Shembo playing?

 

[clashmore_mike]

No Shembo

Can't wait to start tailgating and soak in the fine sights of Notre Dame. Last feel like its been so far away. Pumped to get out there!!

 

[BeauBenken]

GUESS WHO'S GETTING HIS FIRST TRUE COLLEGE COACH CONNECTION?!

Bahaha. I'm going up there with my old ball coach and he plans on introducing me to Hiestand and we'll be around the team and stuff! I won't be there for the whole spring game, but who cares about the game when you're getting an official "in" to the ND coaching staff?!

[ClausentoTate]

Not sure if anyone has FIOS, but I just set it to record and it says in the description "Tommy Rees and Andrew Lynch will compete for the starting QB position".

Not only did we get a new QB but he can pass-rush himself! :awesomewo

Same description on Uverse too, LOL. I guess that means you haven't arrived yet if they mess that up...

 

[Zbi]

I just hope Tommy Rees turns the ball over inside the redzone.

 

[BleedBlue&Gold]

Football, at least for the next two weeks is back, B&G game tomorrow and NFL draft next week, LOVIN' IT!

 

[Meacon Irish]

I'm going to miserable after the game tomorrow. August seems so far away...

Defense or offense?

Who will step up tomoorrow?

 

[BeauBenken]

I think the scoring system is a tad slanted. Offense should be able to win unless they really struggle...or our defense just really kicks ***. It's a spring game though. The offense should not struggle.
