I miss the days of Tate jumping into opposing team bands.

I know we can't "know" the answer to this; but what will it take monetarily to sway more Top 25 or Top 50 players to ND? I'm not saying I'm on board with this. I'm just asking hypothetical questions. ISD has used the hypothetical scenario with KVA a couple times now (NOT suggesting that...

Agree that it would never happen but also agree with the premise. The ND brand is extremely valuable. It's not just airing football games. Someone like Apple TV could air all sports, ND's very own "Hard Knocks," etc. Don't get me wrong, I'd be pissed off about having to buy another sub...

Correct me if I got this wrong, but Mike Frank alluded to the fact that there is nothing stopping someone from starting a collective for ND acquisition fees. The problem has more to do with ND cutting ties with said group and ultimately cutting them off from participating in any ND-related...

ND's viewership ratings are still the highest in CFB on a week to week basis, barring some sort of epic matchup between other schools (although ND's scheduling is usually good enough that viewership still competes, see Rivalry Week for example). I think ND is settling if they take $20M less...

Ok thanks. I was multi-tasking and thought maybe he misspoke, leaked info, or perhaps I just didn't hear it correctly.

Was it just me, or did anyone else pick up Mike Frank on Power Hour yesterday straight up include Lambert as a part of the 24 OL class when doing recruiting review? Maybe I just didn't hear it correctly or he was speaking hypothetically, but to my ears it sounded like he had a slip of tongue...

BCR is one metric. The article states as much. Of course development, in-game Xs and Os, etc also matter towards winning a title. They're just saying that teams with BCR below 50% historically have zero chance since it's been tracked. Now with that said, I agree, it could be better. Why...

My push back was because this is KVA's thread, I'm simply stating that in this case, the result of one game probably won't matter. ND getting a kid out of Bosco is extremely difficult. Of course I agree with the general premise that winning games matters and winning big games matters and...

I figured the best way to make a point was to support it with facts. I'm confused. Because the such and such, this and that, etc that I listed are all valid reasons for losing a game to a Heisman trophy QB lead team. Had Caleb not played and ND boat raced, everyone would be saying, "Well they...

I was responding to the recent posts that have suggested this is coming down to ND vs USC, so that's why I left OSU completely out of my post. It took a night, home game with a Heisman-like effort from the Heisman trophy winner, tons of injuries to ND's secondary, ND's DC completely shitting...

Idk if ND would've landed this kid or not at the end of the day, but one thing is certain....cancelling his OV was stupid.

I disagree regarding KVA's recruitment. This seems to be boiling down to leaving home against peer pressure. Besides, USC needed a Heisman QB to not go 7-5. Riley may turn it around, but currently, they aren't good. They don't deserve to be in the list of OSU and Clemsons of the world. I...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Sampson say something along the lines of tripling their current revenue with this new deal and it still not being what the big boy conference schools make, but that's the price to stay independent...? Again, I could be misquoting. Did he say double? I legit...

I see your flex and will raise you a Masters quarter zip and Masters polo. Your move.

Not sure what everyone will complain about when Peyton Woodyard flips to ND. :-P

Just starting to dabble in '25 recruiting. What's the deal here? The entire beginning to this thread is about how this kid and his parents loved ND. Scroll down and I see he wouldn't get through admissions. Correct me if I'm wrong, but he's literally only halfway through high school. Is he...

There's nothing wrong with revamping and taking a different path. If the analytics make sense and you have confidence in your own coaching ability to develop the guys being brought in, then go for it. But I'll still go back to what I said.....they'll look like geniuses or clowns at the end of...

I've heard it mentioned a few times that the staff is bringing guys on OVs this summer because they want them (offers are committable). If they miss, likely we'll see a reset once these kids get into their senior seasons (Minich, Hillman, Mukam for example if memory serves me correctly)...

A few years from now, this staff is going to look like "Money Ball" geniuses or clowns. Fwiw, I think they're going to hit on a lot of these guys. My personal opinion though, is for every Rezac you take, you need a KVA as well.
