I was 11 when 9/11 occurred and have no connection to anyone who was lost that day. For whatever reason this 25th anniversary hit me much harder than expected and certainly much harder than other past years. I’m not sure if it was the prevalence of tons of videos of the attacks and immediate...

Any boots on the ground crowd % breakdown?

ya they were flawed but legitimately a good team with poor coaching. 6 losses and 5 of them by 5 points or less. Outgained IU and really should have won. 2OT loss to Oregon. Reminded me somewhat of our 2016 season except our loss that derailed the season occurred week 1 not week 4.

Have we ever seen him on STs? Figured someone who could fly would be on a coverage unit if he’s at all physical

This is why I hate when people do lazy argument of blaming NCAA. They’ve been neutered by the courts for years now. Without legislation, it’s essentially been decided that football can’t be thought of differently than any extracurricular when it comes to enrollment enforcing.

Georgia is good but it really feels like they’re hyped on what they did 3+ years ago. They haven’t looked like a real contender since 2023. Their schedule is pretty easy and I’m sure they’ll win 10+ games but they seem to be the bottom of the IMO true contenders (ND, OSU, Texas, Oregon, IU...

$50 on Faison to win the Heisman?

these are solid. Was hoping for color combo like the 07 USC jerseys though

Noie sent a tweet implying we’re probably done in the portal but maybe getting one more guy depending on the timing of the NCAA 5 years of eligibility ruling

I legitimately cannot think the last ND draft pick the Pats made. Even free agents seem to hardly end up in New England. The last guys I can even recall playing there are Sergio Brown and Darius Fleming and neither was drafted by NE. Edit: had to look it up the last draft pick was Mike...

If we bring back Shrews but lose any of Burton, Haralson, or Certa then what the hell are we doing here

lol
