It was a joke. I don’t blame Driskell for this at all. But it does prove my point about beat reporters being a liability to the school with whom there’s virtually no benefit to sharing information.

ND getting screwed again by Driskell’s old gf, Miss Information.

MFW when an O’Driscoll shoots his mouth off.

Tell that to aTm. They paid tens of millions for their last few recruiting classes, and just watched most of them transfer out. What’s the ROI on that investment? Many fewer years than the average grad from Georgia, OSU or Bama. Not an excuse. But it’s core to ND’s mission. If you sneer at...

These are rants, and it's basically the only thing you post about anymore. It's f*cking tiresome. If you think the 4 for 40 pitch is bullshit, you really just don't understand ND. Go root for another program if you feel that way. I've been here just as long as you have. When someone posts...

How about you WATCH the video before assuming it affirms your priors? BQ is agreeing with Pate, who is basically summarizing ND's current position.

Here's a plan for you: Make a billion dollars and fund ND's NIL yourself; or Make a presentation to Swarbrick and the BoF as to why throwing guaranteed millions at high school boys is a can't-lose business proposition. Once you've accomplished either of those things, you can come back here and...

You sure have strong feelings about Driskell's bottom line. To be clear, he has a copyright in anything he writes, which can't be reproduced word-for-word without his permission. But his opinions, and recruiting news in general, are completely unprotected, and can be paraphrased by others...

The updated graphics are obviously nice, but I'm much more interested in the balance changes. I've only ever played TW3 on PS4, so I never had the option of modding it.

Mike Frank tried to tell us...

Right. They've got no leverage over ND to make the program keep feeding them intel, and there's no real benefit to the University in doing so. So why play their game? Who cares if they "play nice?" If they start openly negging NDFB, their business model falls apart. No one is going to pay for...

How does it benefit ND to have well-informed beat reporters? The university itself is far better equipped to control its own narrative and can leak tidbits in innumerable ways. Feeding an industry of “insiders” they don’t control seems to have little upside, but real quantifiable downsides in...

We’re not pulling a dude named “Grayson” out of the south.

That was Venables the proven Defensive Coordinator. Venables the Head Coach is a different animal with a poor track record to date. I still wouldn’t bet on Bowen sticking, but Brent ain’t wowing recruits with his charm, good looks, or coaching acumen these days.

If you’d like to take shots at the Church, we have a few threads you can check out in the Lep Lounge. Not appropriate here, though.

@NDIrish88 has been banned until the 22nd. While we're on the subject, it's pretty hard to get banned just for the content of one's posts here. We've got pessimists, optimists, regular posters and lurkers who mostly read. Just be considerate of others and you'll do fine. Can't do that? GTFO.

ND has always prided itself on never letting the tail wag the dog, so the admin is usually involved in big decisions that could impact the school’s reputation. Since P4P is still illegal, that would count. Getting blackballed by the school is what’s stopping them. They want to win, but not at...

You really need to stop repeating this moronic argument. Expecting Buchner, our non-existent WR room, a completely restructured staff and a first time HC to go at least 10-2 was never realistic against our schedule, especially not after Buchner went down.

No doubt. When you account for the different eras they played in, you can make the case that Messi > Pele for GOAT. But there’s a loud demographic in Argentina that will always hold Maradona in higher esteem until he brings home a cup. And for his own sake, I hope Messi doesn’t have to retire...
