    I'll take "LARGE". Pic is of ND scout in Mongolia.

    Lord I hope so. When he is just playing the center of the midfield he sometimes nearly disappears and never really gets into the box. But if he feels like slamming in there (and staying there awhile) he becomes a chaos-creating menace. Let Luna and Pulisic bounce balls off the defenders and let...

    2025-2026 Notre Dame Women's Basketball

    Hannah will almost certainly be ACC POY and an All-American. NATIONAL POY though? She's the best TALENT but might not get that. I'm betting the voters (whoever they are) pick someone from one of the big teams. The UCLA giant center is set up for it, but I wouldn't be surprised if one of the...

    '16 OH OT Liam Eichenberg (Notre Dame Signed NLI)

    Wish that I was surprised. Big fan as all here know of all our bigguns, but always recognized that Eichenberg was our slowest developer (because, I believe, he just had the slowest recognition of what was going on.) Hope that he catches on elsewhere even as a sub, and continues to get a...

    Left field comment here: I haven't felt that midfield is our biggest problem since I'm such a fan of Luna. (I believe Pocchetino, or however it's spelled, is too.) When Adams is healthy also required. SO .... the WAY left field thing is, I'd like McKennie right in the offense more --- Even at...

    How to fix College Football?

    No ADs and no commissioners equals a waste of time in my opinion. Think tanks with no "teeth" end up as paper tombstones on some shelf. If there are good ideas, having "power people" already somewhat signed off is a sign that amore serious stages two will happen.

    How to fix College Football?

    I'd rather hear from some current older college coaches "who've seen it all" and, as nearing retirement, have less ax to grind. This would include coaches of Olympic sports and things like LAX, Hockey, Track&Field etc.

    Trump Presidency Round 2

    Well, no. Alexander the Great was that. And that history also illustrates that grand change is no obvious predictor of "good" vs "bad". A lot of history must take place before answers to "how much of a good thing overall was this action?" I'll be a bit more patient in waiting this out to make...

    How to fix College Football?

    If POTUS stays out of it (and DeSantis etc), and a decent chair installed (Silver?), and some of the Pop Culture people like Tiger, Tebow, the golfers thanked-but-no-thanked, then the rest of that group might produce a useful monograph of concepts to be taken to next levels. The four big...

    2025-2026 Notre Dame Women's Basketball

    Some wins in the ACC tourney WOULD be nice. I'm hoping for it, but my reason tells me it's a coin-flip every game. (and I see nothing but a loss vs Kara Lawson; a great coach who I saw coming before she hired --- wish we'd gotten her.) Hannah and Cass/KK/deJesus CAN beat everyone else, but they...

    Environmental Issues

    Remarkably shallow look at the systemic planning and time frames by all futurist thinking which really dives deeply into this. Such systemics take all of these babbled-bits of topics into account, assume that progress will be tough, but that things like the ocean impact and the violence of...

    2025-2026 Notre Dame Women's Basketball

    A. Hannah playing somewhat smarter as she matures; B. Cass deserves a medal for selfless team play; C. KK doing all she can; de Jesus shooting more confidently; D. still no answer for teams with bully girls (Hannah and Cass still lead rebounding.) I'm not seeing Hannah as being Atlas-Girl in...

    Environmental Issues

    I don't know anything about the "political" sounding language above, so I'll ignore most of that and just comment on the business/environment stuff. 1. Micron is a pretty normal high-tech business which promises to help out the US future in microchips (positive) and has typical technical...

    This isn't college. She doesn't have to "recruit". These people die to get picked.

    I actually believe that she could pick a very good team. That is not her problem to my mind.
