    Everything Golf

    Sorry. None. LOL. I'm 40 and still get nervous on the first tee, even with friends. God help me if I get randomly paired with a stranger for a round. The idea of playing in a tournament that matters makes my stomach turn. Have fun! Hit 'em straight! Good luck!

    Anyone have kids going through the recruiting process for football?

    My nephew is being recruited to low level baseball schools. His dad and I have had many chats about this situation regarding the debate of wanting to support your kid who really wants to play a sport in college versus choosing a school that will best set you up for life after said sport is...

    Marcus Freeman Revisited

    You could hear that Angeli chant over the broadcast. IMO, there is no reason whatsoever not to involve Angeli when the offense clearly is grasping. Just come in, provide a spark, get it going, and bring back Riley. People hate the two QB approach, but IDGAF at this point, I just want to keep...

    Is ND really pursuing National Championships?

    Chicken and egg debate, I guess? I'm focused on the fact that ND hasn't had a great QB in what feels like my lifetime and whenever they've had a serviceable one, the OL/WR/defense etc were mediocre to bad. It's fries w/o ketchup, PB w/o jelly, etc. year in and year out. When I look at next...

    ND's Talking Heads ... The good, bad & ugly

    Everett Golson makes that throw 100/100.

    Is ND really pursuing National Championships?

    If Hartman or Leonard threw the ball like Coan, I think people would have a different opinion of the transfer QBs. It's been "Classic ND" to have a good QB when the OL or WR weren't good. Or the defense wasn't good. etc. ND has had pieces in the past, but they never aligned in such a way...

    Is ND really pursuing National Championships?

    Notre Dame Football has been fighting an uphill battle with the University ever since Lou left. Incremental positive changes with Weis, Kelly, and now Freeman have surely helped close the gap. But imagine where ND could be if it never walked through the doors of ignoring football in favor of...

    Presidential Election 2024

    One of my best friends is a first generation immigrant from China. His mom talks about the Mao years often. They fled do to hardships and in search for opportunity. She's very outspoken against the CCP, while also being very politically connected to the PRC. I usually bite my tongue because...

    '25 FL DB Ivan Taylor (Alabama Verbal)

    There's a period at the end of his sentence. I'm Ron Burgandy?

    ND's Talking Heads ... The good, bad & ugly

    Agreed. It's one of the main reasons why I can't listen to II anymore, or when I do, it's because of Brice. They have two weeks until UL to get this offense going. I think the OL injuries will cause some issues, but I also feel like a Golson/Rees 2.0 experiment could be in the works if RL...

    ND's Talking Heads ... The good, bad & ugly

    I think you may have missed my point. If the OL can't protect the QB, then a statue of a pocket passer is useless. Steve took a couple really bad sacks against Purdue. Riley absolutely needs to get better at throwing the ball, but if the OL can't keep the QB upright, then a mobile QB is what...

    Players who almost ended up at ND

    Not really on topic, but WHAT IF Kelly could've convinced Clausen and Tate to stay in 2010? I think they would've gone undefeated.

    Anthony Barr. Can't believe they didn't land that kid.

    Players who almost ended up at ND

    Wasn't Chase Young supposedly a ND lean and BK never recruited him?

    ND's Talking Heads ... The good, bad & ugly

    ISD has always been the go-to for me. II is too close to power that they often become a mouth piece for propaganda. I do like Brice though. And I'll give TP props for pushing Denbrock on the NIU second half game plan when it was clear something was up with Riley AND the RBs still weren't...

    General team info

    Mr. X said Jack made the call on Ludwig (but that he didn't know what happened). So it's definitely possible that Utah got in Ludwig's ear and made him shift gears, only for Jack to ultimately decide to move on. Who knows. There did seem to be a PR battle between the two schools, in an effort...

    General team info

    The family at my table genuinely loved Coach O and based on their story, that was in large part because he gave their son a scholarship after he earned it on the field. I'm sure as a parent, that would create a large bias when comparing Coach O and Kelly. It's also worth re-mentioning that it's...

    He has a residence here but doesn't spend much time at that house.

    General team info

    Happy to do it! I'm not a journalist. I asked those questions as a genuine fanatic of the team he and I both love. I think he picked up on that early on and was happy to participate in my curiosity. He's just one man, so it can be taken with grains of salt. I'm sure ND isn't ran by just him...
