    What was your favorite Notre Dame win and what game was the toughest loss for you to take?

    That 2020 Clemson game was awesome but I don't consider it one of the best simply because Trevor didn't play (and weren't there a couple of their stud DL starters out too? I can't remember for sure). 2022 Clemson was a lot of fun, but everyone knows that they had fallen off a cliff once...

    What was your favorite Notre Dame win and what game was the toughest loss for you to take?

    I've seen a ton of bad ND losses over the years that absolutely gutted me as a fan. Boston College, Navy, South Florida, UConn, Tulsa, Northern IL. But also scUM UTL game, Bush Push along with all the other blowouts at the hands of Pete The Poodle Carrol, Bama Natty and pretty much every other...

    Culture and Defense travel well. I won't be shocked if the national narrative is akin to last year's road A&M game where ND is given "a chance," but ultimately no one picks against the home team. I had an epiphany that though this team has zero hold over from 2017, it is not forgotten...

    Little league Baseball

    My brother-in-law (mentioned in previous posts) has spent his entire adult life studying/teaching body mechanics for rotational power sports. He primarily focuses on golf, as he has clients on the PGA Tour, but baseball/tennis, etc all fall into this category as well. He will regularly say...

    Little league Baseball

    Yeah this situation was entirely the result of my nephew wanting to keep playing ball and the parents just being supportive of that. When they talk though, you'll hear things like "This is one of the best NAIA schools with a strong program for developing kids to get to a D2 or D1 school via...

    Little league Baseball

    VDP, I'm pretty much in line with your thinking here. No offense to anyone else, but I've seen youth sports totally ruined by these new models. My wife and I support our kids in what they choose to do, but we also aren't nudging them in any one direction. The harsh truth is that most of these...

    Brian Kelly Revisited (RIP BOZO)

    Not long after he was hired by ND, I was at a wedding in Chicago and bumped into a former player of his from GVSU days. The crystal ball he shared never proved so true. "Good coach, total prick. Will build a program. Unlikely to reach the pinnacle....because he's a total prick." Said players...

    Alabama HC Nick Saban Retires

    I can see Saban returning in a CEO role that delegates literally every aspect of the day-to-day. If all he had to do was coach because he had the people hired around him to take care of everything else, I can see it happening. These guys are all cut from the same cloth. They're ultra...

    Sports cards

    Good to know. Thank you. Leaning towards graded cards at the moment, but we'll see. Still on the fence.

    Sports cards

    That's awesome. Perfect. Thanks! I'm in the process of creating a spreadsheet to cross-reference latest eBay sales with my budget in order to maximize grade level per player. My budget has been fluid as I come to grips with some of these prices. I also realize that I'm shooting for...

    Sports cards

    My love for collecting has come to a point where I need a real gut check. It's fun scouring all the cards online and wanting to buy some, but there are just so many that I need to narrow down a goal. So here's what I'd like to do and if anyone is able to help, DM me. Would be much...

    Disney/Universal Studios vacations

    My wife, her best friend, and their respective sisters did a girls 40th birthday trip to Disney last month. They day-tripped to Universal and got picked for early entry into Epic Universe. Also, something we learned is that Disney offers pretty solid discounts if you book your next trip within...

    Disney/Universal Studios vacations

    Yes. Grew up going there twice a year each year all through Jr High and High school. If you plan extra time, hop on the ferry to Put-In-Bay Island. Great hangout spot.

    Everything Golf

    I really don't know how Scotty "only" has three Majors. For how dominant he's been, and how many top-ten finishes he has, I thought for sure this was number 5 or 6 for him. Then I saw the headline it was his third and I was shocked. I thought it was a typo.

    Absolutely. Thanks! Definitely considered two subs but figured I'd start with one and see how it sounds. I'm not a true audiophile (yet) so anything is going to sound better than nothing (which is what we've had). Give me some time though. haha

    Definite splurge fest on the speakers. 7.1.2. Focal surrounds/atmos and SVS PB2000 sub. Sony Straz 3000 8K AVR. Sony Bravia 98" Everything wired to one of our closets in a server rack that includes PS5. Legit cannot be more excited about this setup. I don't think my wife realizes...

    9 foot ceilings. Two zones of 5 LED cans each. Both zones on dimmers. We have the same ones in our kitchen and they're amazing. We're doing LVP that matches the main floor. Won't be as durable as epoxy, but gets wife approval, and isn't carpet. This. The new LED cans are pretty great...

    Projects/Home Improvement Thread

    My biggest stress-factor during this project has been the fear of overlooking something and a few years later having regrets or realizing that we forgot to do (or elected not to do) something we may eventually come to need/want. I spent a ton of time just trying to forecast a bunch of...

    Who is the assistant who will fill in for suspended Moore and cry after the game? Can't wait for the "Michigan vs the world" t-shirts to make a new appearance during weeks 3 and 4.
