    New York Governor moves to ban 1st amendment for 'no fly' people

    Terrorists and their sympathizers have used freedom of speech to radicalize people to commit acts of terror and to embolden numerous terrorists. I'm going to put this here because I cannot imagine what argument the dissenting side can possibly give for allowing anyone on the federal no fly to...

    ESPN's Scouting Report on Will Fuller

    From high school: "Fuller has redeeming qualities as a lanky and lean late bloomer physically with adequate speed and good height. He has a naturally thin frame and will need to work to get weight added and increase bulk and strength. Has long arms and will compete for the jump ball. He is...

    What is going on with the ND rivals and 247 sites?

    Regarding Rivals, a bunch of the threads on the site are stating that the Sampson and/or Prister are leaving, perhaps to Scout. But I can't find any solid info. Regarding 247, what is happening with Blue and Gold/Lou Smogyi? Again, I can't find solid info. Appreciated!

    Slaughter Saturday: Good Teams Getting Blown Out

    TCU: 41 KSU: 20 Baylor: 48 Oklahoma: 14 And, of course, the ND game. ASU: 55 ND: 31 At least we aren't alone.

    The Remarkable Mediocrity that is the ND Offense

    Offensive Yards by Year: 2011: Rushing: 2,085 Passing: 3,284 Total: 5,369 2012 Rushing: 2,462 Passing: 2,896 Total: 5,358 2013 Rushing: 1,963 Passing: 3,313 Total: 5,276 That is less than 100 yards difference in total yards over those 3 years. The mediocrity of the offense was remarkably...

    The Strain (FX)

    Who else caught the first episode? Seems interesting but somewhat generic so far. I'll keep watching for now, but I'm not sure the show has staying power.

    Tyrant (FX)

    Did anyone catch the premiere? I'm hooked already! Jamal is one sick SOB. And who else saw the main character taking that shot? Awesome.

    No, you can't get a great education from most state universities

    On IE and other ND football boards, the ND educational experience is compared ad nauseam with other schools, especially state schools. We cite facts, figures, and rankings. But I thought personal experience might be helpful as well. Background: I have a B.S. from FSU and a J.D. from ND. In my...

    Trying out Amazon's Prime Music

    Currently listening to a top 50 list of 2000s pop songs. Nothing like a little N Sync and Savage Garden.

    TURN - new AMC show

    So, Turn starts next weekend, taking the Walking Dead timeslot. I want to give the show the benefit of the doubt because AMC is producing it. But it just looks dumb. Can't really say anymore more than that. Am I missing something?

    House of Cards

    I just finished the second season. OMG! What a crazy and entertaining ride. Best show, and it isn't on TV. Any other fans? (I'm leaving out spoilers, at least for now.)

    Question about a boy

    Well on new years I was hanging out with my cousin and some friends. My cousin had invited some male friends over for a little get together, and one of the guys that was there was really good looking, and had started chatting and getting to know each other and had a lot in common based on likes...

    "Stoned on the initial surge means the play is dead."

    That was Kirk Herbstreit on Stanford's 4th down run play. Funny how practically no one at ESPN admitted that when ND stopped Stanford's "initial surge" on the goal line in 2012.

    George Atkinson Sr Goes Off

    About the 24 minute mark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNdPI6Ve0WY&feature=c4-overview&list=UURhR__VRNEkDrfNsXxfXgZA Some highlights (stolen from another forum): "Sounded like a bitter parent. Said he won't be going to the Pinstripe Bowl and that Kelly doesn't have a clue and passed up an...

    Public shaming and social mores

    So my wife and I are sitting down in Ohare waiting on a flight. A guy sits down next to us and proceeds to eat and drink his coffee. He then spills half the coffee all over my wife's bag. He says absolutely nothing. No apologetic gesture or anything. He then proceeds to clean up the coffee...

    Kids that want to stay home near their family

    Seriously, I'm shocked by how many top recruits say this. Seriously, grow a pair and leave the nest. I don't recall a single one of my friends picking a college because it was close to home. Some had to because the college close to home was much cheaper, but no one did it because they...

    Which Race is the most Racist?

    What a boring, uncontroversial topic. "Among white adults, 10% think most white Americans are racist; 38% believe most blacks are racist, and 17% say most Hispanics are racist." Not surprising. But "[a]mong black Americans, 31% think most blacks are racist, while 24% consider most whites...
