Lots of great recruiters that aren’t great head coaches. This was the risk. Definitely give him a full season, but I hope Swarbrick has a short list ready. Both Rees and Freeman should be on notice. 3 games, 3 losses, 9 bad quarters.

I agree, and plead guilty.

He does put out a ton of content and is a good analyst. He’s not liked because he’s just not likeable — hypersensitive, condescending, obnoxious, treats his subscribers like shit, mocks his co-hosts, gaslights, on and on … just not a good guy. But, hey, in this game if you can analyze tape...

Could be, though A&M could get used to leverage more cash or other inducements, too. Impossible to know at this point, but if Love ends up taking NIL cash over ND that will be the final nail in the coffin for me re: NDs approach to recruiting the elite players.

A NOC list with that information could be very valuable, and dangerous.

Hmmm . . . Idk, Driskell does use memes when he gets nervous.

My takeaway— it’s madness that there are 19 guys covering ND football at the nuts and bolts level. The only ones I really follow are the II guys.

Wouldn’t this all be so much easier if we set up a formal inquisition based on Pain of Death for deceit? Would anyone like to volunteer as Inquisitor? I nominate Reaper.

Is it in meltdown due to member revolt after Driskell once again sh$t the bed with his takes about a 5-star recruit who decided to go elsewhere? Or is it in revolt because a man who drinks Mountain Dew and eats Jimmy Johns on screen during his podcasts is trying to sell his members Built Bars?

Last update I saw was Driskell telling his members that he was granting them “grace” by not banning them when they get “negative”. Lol, this guy is such a clown.

What’s the rationale that supports the notion that resignation is appropriate? Sounds like Gundy was willing to own it, but I doubt he developed that rationale. Seriously, how does a person convince themselves that losing one’s livelihood over this is justice, or progress?

Are you saying they didn’t check vac status to get into games as a fan, or to get credentialed to attend practices and sit in the press box?

It’ll be a rage fest, for sure.

I guess certain members of the media won’t be permitted to attend practices and games this year due to NDs Covid policy. Interesting . . .

Started Rick Atkinson’s Revolutionary War Trilogy, vol. 1, “The British Are Coming”. About a 100 pages in and we are just past Bunker Hill, so it’s pretty detailed. Good, though.

Had the same thought. It’s not a good look, “thanks for ride, coach!”

Driskels sources are weak sauce. No one highly placed, as far as I can tell. General paraphrase, “I have a source who talked to the HS head coach and the head coach told him he told ND blah, blah, blah”. Just really attenuated stuff usually. I think he hedges his sourcing with material from...

Looks like ND just offered a new 2023 DL prospect as well. Lots of smoke. Still, I think he sticks with ND — it’s less boring that way.

100% agree. When I moved to Columbus I was indifferent. Within a year I was convinced it was the worst fanbase Id been around. Hence, I can’t hate Michigan, watching Michigan beat OSU is a delight. For the record, OSU fans might hate Michigan, but they truly, madly, deeply despise ND.

It was a scam, and an obvious one - I actually think that’s why he stopped. He got called out on it. He would claim there was a “silent commit”, give no other intel, then come clean after the commit was public. It was never real intel to begin with, lol.
