Well, that's not what I wrote. (or intended to write anyway.) What I was saying is just that we can make the playoffs even with the conferences making schedule-making tough on us, SO the upper air negotiations MUST now be just about how much MONEY ND Football will lose if it joins a conference...

Strange stats: even shooting percentages, but we're outrebounded by almost 20!. Fortunately we make all our foul shots, plus steal the ball. Cass Prosper plays only 17 minutes --- I'm assuming foul trouble plus, maybe, a little bench time for gloating over an opponent after a physical lay-up...

I'm wondering if IE members know what the football economic differences are (just that; no "history" or pissed-off-ness) going into the near foreseeable future: independence vs B1G vs ACC [I don't see compatibility with SEC nor Big12.] My request is because I believe that none of the "other...

Still can't help myself so ... we should at least note what the outside football world thought about our OLine last season. A. In mid season, we were recommended as one of the JOE MOORE Award finalists. Note that this was AFTER "No Jagusah" and the games vs Miami and A&M; B. By season's end...

My sketchy opinions: A. Aneyas is going to outshine nearly every RB in the country this year UNLESS he gets passed by OTHERS in his own RB room; B. Our RB room will be (again) the best in the country, maybe even requiring an NCAA investigation as to how that's possible; C. I don't know who of...

or three year-around European scouts.

Yes to most of the recent commentaries. I'd add (though I should stop festering about this --- Ivey will either grow as a head coach or she won't and I should just watch the coming year) that ALL of this seems to revolve around the situation that our current head coach is just gradually learning...

In support of Babyirish's post: I believe that the center of "Cancer" in all of last year was really Westbeld's and Miles' unwillingness to play college basketball defense. In Westbeld's case, that lack of giving an effort extended to rebounding (Miles at least liked to do that.) Now, place...

OK. Life's tough. But you cannot be a coach who allows any player to run the program. Otherwise this is the NBA. You have to establish that YOU are running everything about the program day-one of every player's campus career. (Think Boone in Remember The Titans, or for a real life instance: Lou...

I got the impression that the reason that Illinois sucked (relatively speaking) on defense was that their D-Line wasn't at all good, could get no pass pressure, no sacks etc. This left the D-Backfield with too much time to cover. Henry apparently deserves some of the overall blame in this...

My memory on Harry is not the same as the above. The Tennessee "fans" were stuck with a crummy head coaching admin who made life miserable for several of the assistants, essentially throwing them under the bus. Several assistants ran out of there. Harry came to ND so pissed at that that he once...

This kind of situation is so particular to the unique issues that no one (even our not-all-knowing-and-not-to-be-blamed-for-not-knowing-all staff) can predict future states at future times. The most likely thing is that everyone's "hopeful" (including the Big Stud), but no one can be sure of...

... or for some professions and injuries --> never

Some very ignorant ranting here. I read ten or more websites of big medical expertise on humerus breaks. Each breakage, as any person with a brain should immediately see, is different ... possibly wildly so. For a normal person who is looking for a normal return to life, the three month bone...

At Coach's age, this is about nothing "football." It is about his life and its relationship with The Lord. Lou was very kind to my Mom when I wrote to tell him about my Dad's passing, and wrote a personal note of loving nature. For that, he got a smile from her and from God. He'll be fine in Heaven.

I agree mostly with that. For the "fun" of it though (re: boys and girls and Bball), I'll repeat a comment made to me by one of my brothers, who was an award-winning high school coach of teams of both genders. He told me that it was his experience that you could have a couple of guys who...

Yes. Ivey can be "forgiven" for not winning the championship even with that All-Star crew because sooner or later some big thug team would have put our girls on the bench (with fouls) or the hospital (a reason why King was such an unsung heroine), and consequently rebounded our brains out. There...

You, of course, WOULD "ride" with Hannah, but NOT to the exclusion of TEAM involvement in the offense. Fabulous talent is one thing, but even Caitlin Clark (the ultimate ball-hogger) was better for Iowa when there was a center in the paint hugely involved with the offense. I fear that we are...

Obviously my mention of Harrison Smith was only for its intrigue and good feeling value -- BUT, Smith was FAMOUSLY the coach-on-the-field organizing all the DBS and LBs pre-snap, and renown as an intuitive all-over-the-field playmaker. (including blitz techniques, timing, etc.) The guy kind of...

How about Harrison Smith?
