Next year is MFs best chance yet to have a special season. I just don’t see him risking it by starting a RB that is not currently a high-level starter in the P4. I think James is a solid #2a with Young #2b. This staff likely needs to bring in 2 WRs that are currently starting at other P4...

If we perform to our standard, this game should not be close — we should a game like this by 17+. We have out-recruited, out-developed, and out-coached this team for a decade. We have out grown USC, they are no longer in our pier group. Conversations about his being a competitive game should...

I couldn’t survive the fury of being a fan of this Arkansas defense.

A thousand times YES!

Maybe next time don’t give a guy his own thread, it’s easy to see why it became overwhelming. He couldn’t just enjoy IE for what it is . . . a cesspool of high anxiety nerds and frustrated former athletes.

Totally agree, the ND GM role is one of the most complex positions I college football, I suspect. Part of me wonders whether Blanchard didn’t want the pressure and challenge of an ND role and so asked for something he knew he could not get. He wouldn’t be the first dude who chose the relative...

My favorite post of 2025 so far.

Can’t decide whether it was creepier to seek the information, or publish it.

This will be by far the worst defensive Big 2 in the history of the league.

I think this is the right approach. We have great weapons coming back, just play the guy who can best distribute the rock and we role Miami. If Carr is the best man it will show up in the Fall. I’d prefer to keep Angeli around and lose Minchey to the portal (if we must lose one) — I’m sure...

It’s pretty remarkable that we have 4 or 5 different potential OL combinations that could be Joe Moore level, imo.

You need to synthesize the whole post, not be triggered by the one line you find objectionable. If you do that, you’ll see we likely agree, but that you missed the point. All good, happens to everyone.

You’ve missed the point. We want to develop and execute the entire offense and should start the QB who is most capable of doing that. If Angeli is that guy, he should start at Miami.

I agree. If Carr is healthy and can execute the WHOLE offense then he should start, even at Miami. Anything short of that then I think Angeli should take the first snaps in game one. Part of my reasoning is that we cannot have another year in which players like Greathouse get underutilized...

Honestly, I think he was doing what he thought was the right thing. I get the impression he is a decent dude when he’s not in his emotions.

Fair. Though average tenure doesn’t play into the equation — if anything it makes it easier to take a risk on Mickens. Freeman became a first-time DC at 30 (I believe) — if you’re ready, you’re ready. Could Mickens prove himself elsewhere and return to ND? Sure. But this industry is far too...

True, but opinions tend to do that — besides, that’s what makes this fun.

Yikes! Do you also target them for Shermination?

Sad to hear he is still this way on his message board. I joined the message board a few years ago and quit it after several months for the exact issues you mentioned. To Driskell’s credit, when I requested a refund he gave it to me, even after I told him what my objections were.

Totally agree. Honestly, my take away from is this — Marcus Freeman does not want Mike Mickens as the DC. He has known him since HS and Mickens has plenty of of experience on paper — Freeman would hire him if he thought he was competent to be a DC. The “Co-DC” offer is an effort to keep him...
