Margins are good enough to have some cost go towards exporting w/o causing budgetary issues. However, what we're seeing is that is a China Customs issue. It's not really an issue getting it there. It's an issue clearing Customs and getting the shipment to the buyer. Apparently, Cosmetics are...

Wasn't sure where to post this random question: Is there anyone on this board who deals with shipping to China? Specifically larger/bulk items that might get stuck in Customs on their end? I've about exhausted my contacts for help with this. Figured I'd give IE a try. A friend of mine and...

My read on Freeman's pissy PC was that he expected to get hammered with questions about Parker. I think he knows that he needs to make a tough decision and it's weighing on him. Just my opinion.

@PutuporShutup , We may not know the answer to that until the new AD arrives, you think?

Breaking: Mike Elko returns to South Bend. Italics aside, I'm rooting for Freeman. He truly seems like a genuine dude and a great ambassador for the University.

Agreed. And at the end of the day, I don't think it would be an issue for ND should it come to that.

All valid points but you're missing Ego and SEC. I don't think he leaves Oregon either, but I never discount the pull of the SEC, nor the ego of coaches to want to turn around programs under their watch and get the credit.

The irony in all of this, for me... When Parker was hired, I, and many others, felt that the roster would make Parker look so good that we'd have a false impression of his abilities as an OC. We assumed Hartman would be great, the OL would gel despite the uncertainties at guard, TE and WR...

Brice also mentioned it's a 3-year contract and spoke on the offensive room being a collaboration. Maybe I'm just reading too much into it, or maybe I'm just used to the let down, but I took Brice's words and his tone of voice at face value that he feels Parker is coming back. I hope I'm just...

Correct, and I believe he was specifically referencing the 13-page letter that the B1G released as being "the most damning piece of official documentation that we've ever seen" regarding a scandal in the sport. He also mentioned that it is such a big deal that the NCAA broke precedence and...

Even someone like Jarrett Patterson would've been helpful with that. Again, my overall opinion is that the offense, as an entire administration, just isn't working...from the top down. Everything should be on the table at this point to get it fixed. I hope Freeman is self-aware enough to...

I tend to agree with Knuckles. I can see Hartman wanting to start his last collegiate game and go into a bowl game with his teammates. I don't see Hartman being a big time draft prospect. Day 3? UNDFA? Most likely scenario for him. Playing/Sitting a bowl game makes no difference, injury...

Right, it will depend on who the OC is and what position they'd coach.

That's the Clemson model. A top QB and top coordinators that propped up Dabo. Then capitalize on that success by recruiting at a high level. Rinse and repeat. I think ND was one elite OC away from making a CFP run this year. I think they squandered Golden's defense. I think they...

Why in the world would Hartman sit the bowl game voluntarily?

I doubt it happens, but I'd prefer a simple demotion back to TE Coach for Parker. Freeman and Parker are friends. Just be honest..."Hey this didn't work out, but I still need/want you on my staff as TE Coach." Float the option and let Parker do with it as he sees fit. It's possible he's...

Does 8-4 ND really get into a bowl against a SEC team? Idk the tie-ins etc, but I just assume we'd get paired against a team like Rutgers in a Pinstripe style bowl circa 2013.

Because the university doesn't want to be like them.

Probably need to worry about ND beating Stanford on the road before assuming ND gets into any sort of a "decent" bowl against a SEC team. Sorry, I'm just over how pathetic this team plays on the road and I'm not willing to just bake in 9-3 at this point.

?? Kind of my point.
