    R.I.P Scott Weiland

    Former Stone Temple Pilots lead singer Scott Weiland was found dead tonight. Lifelong ND die-hard like a lot of us.

    All Expectations Out the Window.

    I am in no position to state whether or not our season is down the crapper, because I bet it all on Zaire. Now it's on Kizer. We are a very, very, VERY unlucky fanbase, but we might as well put all our eggs in the Kizer basket, because...hell, he looked better than Zaire did against UVA...that's...

    The Epic Failure that is the 2011 Recruiting Class

    What else can you say? This class came in somewhere between #8 and #11 in the country. Boy did that translate... Of the 23 members of that class (along with composite ranking): Aaron Lynch: .9945 - Good freshman season, and then transferred. Ishaq Williams: .9881 - Never started, barely...

    RIP Chris Squire

    Yes legendary bassist Chris Squire passed away last night, lost his brief battle with leukemia. As a noob bassist, this is quite saddening. He was 67.

    Basketball vs Football Recruiting

    So, something occurred to me. I always seem to run across the always prevalent argument that ND has trouble recruiting because the weather in South Bend is unfavorable. This makes things difficult to constantly get top-level recruits. Let's translate this to basketball shall we? Then how is it...

    GSU Satellite Camp

    As we probably know, ND is heading down south to Atlanta to host a satellite football camp with Georgia State. I'm wondering what you all think about the possible boost ND will get in the south, recruiting-wise from these events now taking place. Personally this opens up many doors that were...

    Demand for a 13th Game

    It seems like the Big XII is murmuring expansion, as to accommodate a championship game. I feel like this leaves ND all alone in the power 5 world. With that being said, I think this should open up a simple solution to the problem: Demand to add a 13th game. Why is it that several power 5 teams...

    Bring out your Dead (Injuries)

    Is it just me, or does there seem to be an unrealistic abundance of injured players this year? I think I remember somebody posting that ND is down to 51 scholarship players on the team now...that is utterly insane. What is it with the injuries? Is it just a coincidence that the injuries also...

    Is Kelly a REALLY good coach?

    This streak of losses has me wondering this. This is the second game in a row that Kelly was directly responsible for a loss. The way he's brought the program up is good, but to be honest, how much of that is ND and how much of that is Kelly? His on-field coaching, and especially his...

    Chicago Bears address

    I know this is a ND board, but I'm sure there are plenty of Bears fans on here, and I'm sure those Bears fans are wondering the same thing right now. Who the fuck is this team? And why are they wearing the Bears' jerseys? I simply can't comprehend the amount of suck that has gone into this...

    Don't You Just Hate...

    This isn't really a question, but more of a discussion. A vent to get all of the offseason aggression out (Lord knows we need it). Don't you just hate that football has the LONGEST break in between seasons? - Baseball ends in late October and starts back up early April (about 5 months) -...

    BVG Personnel at UGA?

    So, I was reading an article that was comparing his current challenge at ND to his previous venture 'tween the Hedges. So, I'm a bit curious as to those who might know. What kind of talent did BVG have at his disposal. I know he helped develop a ton of elite defensive players, but how highly...

    Stadium Noise

    I've got an honest question. I haven't been to a ND game in South Bend in years, since 2006. So most of my knowledge is based on what I hear on television. Does it seem a bit quieter now than it was years ago, even in the Weis era (2005-06). I remember watching games like Penn State or USC, and...

    Okay...What's the holdup?

    Seriously, what is Brian Kelly waiting for? Why hasn't he announced BVG as his new DC yet? I understand that it isn't official yet, but it is pretty obvious that he is. Why is it not official yet? Is there contractual issues being settled? I just don't see why they are waiting this long to...

    George Whitefield New QB Coach?

    Am I the only one thinking this would be a fantastic idea? I don't know if Kelly has reached out to him, but I'd imagine they've been in some contact. I find it hard to believe that he wouldn't offer the job to him being the so-called "QB Guru". There's probably something I don't know, but I...

    Shamrock Staff...Thing...

    Okay, I may be late to the party on this one, but does ANYONE know what that thing is? You know, the one they carry out every game, that looks like a large staff with shamrock leaves at the top.

    Injury Issues

    It's official. Notre Dame is now the most injury plagued team in college football. Let me know if I miss somebody: Louis Nix (out for season after knee surgery) Stephon Tuitt (playing off sports hernia surgery) Sheldon Day (playing with a high-ankle sprain) Chase Hounshell (out for season after...

    Plans for Nose. 2014

    Okay, so the obvious issue defensively going into next year is that Nix will most likely be gone, leaving a huge hole (literally) to fill. ND seems to be whiffing on their chances to get a quality nose in this year's class, which is not good considering at this point, there aren't any defensive...
