    2016 Roster Breakdown

    Apologies if someone has already posted this, and please let me know if I need to make any corrections, but this is where I think we stand on numbers going into spring: I really had no idea how thin we are at LB. Safety is crazy. Slot is thin. And we don't have quite as much OL depth as I...

    ND's Academic Reputation

    IMO, he's Stanford's if they want him. If you are (1) a kicker, (2) academically serious, and (3) not Catholic, you go with Stanford or Duke. Northwestern, Notre Dame, and Vanderbilt are your back-ups.

    Push to NSD 2014- Significant Dates

    Darkest moment since the Harry Hiestand hiring!

    A lot of people in the-the-know made it very clear, very quickly that hiring HH was a desparate move by a coach who was afraid to make a splash. Hesupposedly could not recruit and was a mediocre coach. Recruits looking for information on the internet inevitably learned what a disaster the hire...

    Post-Spring Recruiting Needs

    Now that we are on the other side of the Spring Game, I thought it was worth re-visiting what our needs for this class are. I am ranking each position by relative need (real need ... luxury). (Mods: please move this post if it fits better somewhere else.) Here is my breakdown of the offense...

    It's times like these that we should all be thankful...

    ...to whoever at IrishEnvy pushed against the grain and established the tradition of running threads. Reading some of the other boards is just painful. Our format really allows for a community discussion on each topic, rather than little groups of posters missing some things, repeating some...

    TE Recruiting- Something to keep in mind

    6'6" TEs are awesome to have, no doubt. But both teams in the Superbowl use TEs a lot, both get production out of their TEs on crucial downs, and here are their sizes: San Francisco Vernon Davis 6'3" 250 (Maryland) Delanie Walker 6'0" 242 (Central Missouri State) Baltimore Dennis Pitta 6-4...

    What I expect from Kelly

    This post is from a person who supports Kelly and always has... In my opinion Kelly evolves. He came in with a my-way-or-the-highway approach, and quickly learned that this had to be tempered both because of (1) the level of fan/alumni scrutinyy and (2) the unique players we recruit ("they are...

    My favorite part of last night...

    I really liked the part where Notre Dame beat its arch-nemesis, USC, to win a spot in the National Championship game. There were other good parts but--when it comes right down to it--that was my favorite.:cowboy:

    Panoramic View of Michigan Game

    Notre Dame, in its quest to keep me constantly looking at something football related, has posted a panoramic picture of the entire stadium during the Michigan game. The resolution is so good that you can literally pick yourself out and label yourself with a tag if you want to. Being a...

    Defensive Questions

    I recently read that we did not use the drop LB (DOG) very much the first two games. Instead we used an additional safety. 1) Is this the case? 2) Why do this against Purdue? 3) It may just be a simple matter of they are better players, but why keep Carlo or Fox on the feild and not Councell...

    ND and Fatal Flaws

    The thing that has made ND so frustrating since 2005 (with the exception of 2007) is the combination of some incredible talent, with some really glaring holes. We have had a strange combination of top tier talent at most spots with gaping holes at a couple for about 6 years now. 2011: Last...
