Do you or anyone on here know if Zack lives in Indy now? Specifically Carmel? My son had a Dad’s Club basketball game today and I would bet my life that Zack was there coaching or helping. I’m not the type of person who’d just straight up ask. If it wasn’t him, there is another gigantic Zack...

Pretty much my experience too and why I’ve resorted to only collecting GOATS and vintage HOFs. I’m not interested in flipping cards or ripping to chase the flavor of the month. I’ve spent about $75 on individual packs for my kids the last couple of months and only pulled about $5 worth of...

Ironically, the great state of Indiana acted like they didn't care much when ND was in the championship last year (outside of actual ND fans, that is). Likewise, I can't see the same reaction from the entire state if Purdue suddenly became a powerhouse and went to the title game. But yeah...

Oh wow. Sorry to hear that. That didn't even cross my mind. Thanks for the tip. Has Messi confirmed that he's playing in the World Cup? That might be an option too, depending on cost. I'm seeing Argentina will be in Kansas City June 16th.

I used Christmas and my son's recent birthday as excuses to buy packs "for him", so I could enjoy them being opened. Haha. I don't care much for the modern stuff though. If it's a specific player with a certain parallel, etc, I'll just go buy the graded version. However, as far as packs go, I...

Any thoughts on when the sports card bubble might pop? Good grief. List prices and sold prices are still exceeding comps by a large margin on many players. For example, my son's interest in soccer has lead him to wanting to collect some Messi cards. Idk much about soccer, but I know he's one...

I'm not a soccer person. Never played the sport. Don't understand a damn thing about the sport. Etc. But I have a 7 year old son who enjoys playing and lately has become obsessed with all things Messi. I honestly wasn't sure if Messi was still playing so I looked it up. Can any of you guys...

See Lax's post. I'll add some more of my own... 4. Not realistic to expect that level of QB play every year playing portal roulette. Mendoza was insanely accurate and I'd argue was the difference between 4-0 in their close games versus another QB possibly going 0-4 or 2-2, etc. 5. Did I hear...

If literally any one of the bullet points I listed go in ND's favor, there is no way they get left out. Just one needed to break for ND. I circled back to that a couple times today, wondering if I forgot anything. My overall takeaway is that literally ALL of those things had to happen for ND...

Absolutely. But that's kind of my point. The "leave no doubt" mantra is great but it's almost an impossible bar. At some point throughout a season, you just need the chips to fall your way. You need to be blessed by the football gods during the season because there will be times when winning...

Jamie at ISD has a criteria list that shows what all championship teams have in common in the modern playoff era. I can't recall the list off the top of my head, but I'm pretty sure Indiana checked 5 of the 7 (or so) boxes, if memory serves me correctly. IU was really good this year. I don't...

"Leave no doubt." Coach Freeman is absolutely right. But... That is so much easier said than done. For as great as this IU team was, they barely beat Iowa, Penn State, OSU, and Miami. The stars had to align in ways that seemed beyond what the team was controlling in order to get those...

I'm not sure there needs to be a new thread for 2025 in the rearview, but I do have some thoughts: There is a small part of me that feels like ND is cursed. The sheer amount of things that ND needed to go their way this year, but didn't, is astounding. In this "game of inches," ND fell short...

Caleb Williams is basically an upgraded Jay Cutler 2.0 imo. Similar gunslinger styles of play. Caleb has a much higher ceiling with his athleticism obviously. Caleb’s INTs are down compared to Cutty but he’s still a high risk, high reward type QB. A couple of easy check downs over the middle...

He's a head coach so he's likely going to say, "We didn't get it done those first two games and that's on us." Everyone will nod in agreement. He's not going to get into advanced stats or hypotheticals. Those guys don't live in that headspace. I'm sure they'll grill him on declining a bowl...

Gross. He will have to sit there and be civil and polite around a bunch of dipshits who spent the last two months talking shit about ND. He doesn't strike me as the kind of person who will put any of them in their places. This might just end up creating new James Franklin memes as Coach Free...

I will say that Marsh is more plug and play. Cignetti knows what he’s getting in him. I posted in another thread the other day about how I’m curious the production comparison between Marsh and both OSU transfers. I wouldn’t be whining about it though. Good grief man. Get a grip.

How much 11 and 12 personnel is Denbrock running? Especially now with an upgrade in QB over Leonard and upgrades in the WR room? TE in this offense moving forward doesn’t seem like a massive necessity. Just my opinion. Prister will complain about anything. I won’t be shocked to see way more 10...

Unable to watch. What is Hansen grilling him about?

I told my wife that if the fence is 100% on our property per the plots and w/o any verbal or written agreement, we cannot force someone to pay for any costs, let alone half. Prepare yourself for inevitable rage, but hope for the best. Met with crickets. To the bolded: Ironically, yes, but...
