Anyone who hears what's happening in the Middle East and wishes they had a better understanding how these countries, terrorist groups and key figureheads are related, this is an excellent starting point. I haven't ready anything related to this so I can say, without hesitation, this book is a...

Codlin left before Mickens left? Before, it was likely a cost worth bearing because Mickens was an insurance blanket that covered the secondary. Now that he departed, they likely decided it'd be best for continuity to bring someone back who is love/respected by the players and understands...

@Bluto - fantastic recommendation. I'm having a hard time putting it down, so many names and stories interwoven across nations and groups. I'm roughly 1/3rd of the way through it, hope to complete it by EOW. An excellent lens to view 1920 - present day Middle Eastern developments. How...

It doesn't seem like you understand much about Notre Dame given the bolded sentence. I doubt very much they are considering how to "appeal to modern thought processes" as it relates to this. It needn't be said but the lens of faith is constantly expanding, no matter the religion or doctrine...

So weird. I like weird but at times, it was like the writers got a bit too stoned and ran with things too far. I don't mind gore, I don't mind Pulp Fiction-level of oddity and accentuation but there is a fine line between artistic peculiarity and gratuitously offputting. Bone Tomahawk was...

6'6 - 250 Flanigan and Coop are similar-sized and going to be a nice combo. Can't wait to add Premer to the mix and see if they are good enough to force Denbrock into some 12 in each game.

If people think Carr was the byproduct of 2 sensational RBs, I don't blame them. I'm in wait and see mode. If he believes he's arrived and doesn't work to get better, it'll be a letdown season. One could argue that against the best defenses he faced, he threw INTs and looked less exceptional...

Thanks for the suggestion, looks like an excellent read. I just put a hold on a copy at my local library.

Ya'll are some tough graders but I guess grades are subjective. I don't know how CB could be anything besides an A+? It has talent, returning AA and near-consensus best CB in the country, 3 year starter is Gray, we added 3 incredible CBs in the freshman class, we poached a true freshman from...

Great question and not something I often think about but let me give it a shot. Here's who I'd want to see at the casting to read lines: Gus - George Clooney, McConagheay is a good suggestion, Leonardo Di Caprio, Jason Bateman (need to see if he can pull off the verbose, self-assured Texan)...

Wars are fought very differently and tallying raw numbers of soldiers, air & seacraft is of little value. China couldn't complete a land invasaion for a host of reasons. But the first 10 reasons wouldn't include an armed populace. It's simply an added pressure should the world devolve and the...

I thought her name was Quinntastic. I thought she was a good poster but when I try to @ her name, I'm not finding it so either her account has been deleted or I'm misremembering.

But did we find a new holder for FGs? I'm glad if TB is there as a stop gap solution. Hoping one of our young guys can still earn 2nd team reps and develop.

I honestly wish people would share more opinions about ND and their independence. I wish we'd stop saying the US is a free nation. We aren't free, we're tied to other countries for exchange of goods and we need other countries to keep our economy strong. ND should look out for ND, if that's...

Segarra looks like a helluva RB. His acceleration looks really good and I love how little time he wastes getting north->south. Seems hard to tackle. I'd just be curious what his testing stats are but the film shows an excellent RB.

I finished it a couple weeks back. It was a fun read and I thought it had mostly good pacing. Occasionally, the scientific deep dives felt gratuitous but it was a worthwhile read and enjoyable.

I just finished it and loved it. From my vantage, it shows the mindset of the time. It's not an adapted western with modern mindsets. Life was hard, there weren't many "simple pleasures" and so guys spent most of their time being driven by their biology and ideology (some had the reverse...

We all have opinions but.... here is what you're comparing: 26 vs 27 College experience vs high school experience Learning a new system vs delaying and continuing in his current system College strength training vs high school strength training Year round training resources at ND vs. whatever he...

Would you like to double down on this?

I think the WR competition is wide open and Finley probably couldn't find a better playoff-caliber program to earn snaps given the lack of returning production. Greathouse has been injured but solid. Faison has been really good. That's it in terms of true production. I know Gilbert has had...
