Some notes on the depth chart:
Greathouse or Graham don't matter who starts I think both will play a ton
Starting DT's, surprised there isn't an or but I don't think it really matters who starts backups will play just as much.
Surprised to not see Mullins listed at all he provided good depth last year at DT and he is probally your 7th guy which is a good thing.
When Ethan Thomas is your 5th safety it just tells you how deep our DB room is.

So am I reading KR correctly that it's Aneyas and Jonaz Walton with James Jr. and Young backing them up?

Wow no “OR” for the DTs

Ceremonial but still, even for Brewu

And here you pegged Onye as 4th or 5th at DT.😉

When you have Ethan Long at 5th, you don't even need to know his name apparently...

This is about the 4th/5th time I've forgotten Ty Washington is back this year.

Happy to be wrong about Mukam - thought 5th behind Hughes was the highest he'd start at going into camp.

Matt Jeffery also at backup holder--what can't this guy do?

He has not proven he can dance like Punky Jr.

This is a strange universe. It's hard to believe there are people in the world who pay to read what Mike Bernardino writes. His questions are some of the worst attempts at trying to fabricate a 'gotcha' moment. I rarely detest people, I make an exception for him. He's uniquely phony and lacking in self-awareness.

I wonder if he goes home thinking of himself as the outsider; willing to ask the 'hard-hitting' questions like a rogue. I pronounce him anathema.

RudyVerse · 2026-08-31T13:58:43-0400

Wouldn’t be surprised if Absher and Prescott rotate first couple games.

I feel like with it being week one this is going to be a close game. Prolly gonna be similar to FSU 2021 but hopefully it’s more like Navy 2023. I won’t hold my breath though. There is a strong chance we might not get the W in this one too.

This checks out

And spent hundreds of dollars losing bets against ND lol

If that’s what it takes to win a nattie I’ll happily do it.

Dude, you really need to change your horizon on this. You are literally pissing $ away.

No need to defend yourself. I get it. I’d be lying if I said I’ve never done that.

Pete thinking ND lacks depth on the OL is hilarious. Buddy ask one other beat reporter how they would describe their OL depth

Yeah, Pete needs to keep in mind that Augustine isn't gone for the year. He'll be out for September, but I imagine is back by October. Bare minimum, he's another key depth piece, if not just slotting back in to starting RG.

I also don't want to rain on the Thom and McKeogh parade, because I think them being in the 2-deep is an impressive milestone and a good indication that they're progressing well, but I imagine if there is an injury at tackle, that Knapp or Prescod bump back out there.

Well, I have to go get my family in Mexicali at 1..... This sucks, gonna miss the first half. Wife bought tickets for her family at a horrible time and worse location.

At least "bet" by throwing your money to a charity if ND wins.

I once threw a new ND hat in a bonfire at the neighbors place post a Weis era game. I was like 22 though not huge on superstitions anymore.

My two cents worth that none of you slaps care about.

So we have lot of guys that will be splitting time with all of the "or" listings.

It will be interesting to see what the Oline looks like in week 3 or 4.

Was surprised to see Williams as the KR given the talent on the roster.

Wiscy is basically a rebuild. I see them staying close for a quarter at the most. The only talent on O is their RB and it's hard to run behind a line that isn't that experienced and going against arguably the best D in CFB.

Buckle up gents. The ride is just beginning.

If they do lose & by extension I have extra money the first thing I’ll offer is PayPal beer money to any other poster who needs a beer after the loss.

There will be purchase of at least one manga book /nascar diecast/video game for myself so I can numb the pain (and by extension post less of my anger on here which I think everyone will appreciate)

As far as a charity if you or anyone else have a cause or a charity I can get behind let me know I’ll send it their way.

The money I use for this is money I set aside to gamble so it’s not getting in the way of anything in the real world. Hell the money used to make this one is money won because of Felix Rosenqvist winning the Indy 500 back in May & Joey Logano winning at North Wilkesboro.

Also made this bet last year, we make the playoffs I leave the boards at the end of the year. So let’s go Irish!!!☘️

Just have Leonard Moore cover it

Katzenboyer · 2026-08-31T15:43:16-0400

I think by the first drive or two it will become pretty evident that ND is in a different galaxy from Wisconsin athletically, and that the Badgers just don't have the ability to match up.

51-10 Irish.

Kind of where I'm at and I definitely bedwet from time to time. I'm envisioning 2015 Texas.

does this make sense to anyone? im guessing they made a depth chart for week 1 last year and in the age of transfer portal the last games usage is 1,000,000x irrelevant.

Why would the SID put together the depth chart anyways.
