    Michigan going after Chad Bowden..

    Can't imagine why they wouldn't. They already showed they're willing to break the bank for Denbrock and Golden. I think he has a staff that works under him, but I think they can definitely give him a few more bodies. In that case, this may force ND's hand, and like I said, I don't think they...

    Michigan going after Chad Bowden..

    Yeah, considering it sounds like Michigan is going after him for the same role he has now, I don't imagine him leaving. I'm sure he entertains it, because it will net him a raise and more support. This isn't a situation where ND isn't willing to match, because we know they will.

    Michigan going after Chad Bowden..

    Can't imagine ND doesn't match.

    Michigan going after Chad Bowden..

    I can't imagine why Bowden would leave ND for Michigan. Michigan is a ticking time bomb right now, with a first year head coach and impending NCAA punishments. Bowden also has a long relationship with Freeman from his Cincy days. He doesn't have that at Michigan. If he were to leave, it'd have...

    Chicago Bears address

    Great hire. He coached the Panthers DL during their hey-day. He was paramount in 2015, when they had one of the best defenses in the league. He's also worked with two of the best defensive minds in the game in Ron Rivera and Sean McDermott. There's a reason why McDermott felt the need to make...

    To be fair, we went away from literally everything on offense in the Louisville game....

    '24 MA OT Guerby Lambert (Notre Dame Signee)

    It's not ideal, but Lambert wouldn't be given the starting job from day 1 like Fisher was. He'd have to win it against Wagner and Baker.

    All Things SkunkBear

    The ends only justify the means if you don't get caught. They didn't win. They cheated and their title is forfeit.

    State of the Recruiting Class - 2024

    I'm saying both matter. Auburn won a national title and immediately went into the sh*tter. It was nice to put their first title trophy in 53 years, but if they failed to build on it, that kind of mitigates the impact. I'd rather have a program that is on a positive trajectory and in position...

    State of the Recruiting Class - 2024

    So has Auburn, but they've been pretty mediocre since then. So has Florida, but they've been pretty mediocre since then. So has Tennessee, but they've been pretty mediocre since then. So has Colorado, but...you get the idea. Winning a title is nice, but sustained success is also pretty...

    State of the Recruiting Class - 2024

    They're currently running a streak of 7 consecutive losing seasons and have had 8 of them in the past 10 years. That's not mediocrity, that's ineptitude.

    State of the Recruiting Class - 2024

    And it immediately cemented itself as the worst of the main 3 services, but 247 has caught up.

    I'm never gonna set foot in a casino again. ...unless they have free drinks.

    State of the Recruiting Class - 2024

    I think it's both. He has a clear hate-boner for ND, but he also took over as the lead scout despite having almost zero scouting experience.

    '24 MA OT Guerby Lambert (Notre Dame Signee)

    Yeah, but I can somewhat understand that. 2023 was a much deeper OL class, and Jagusah looked to project more as a G/RT. So him being rated as a tackle against several guys who were definitely tackles at the next level, I can understand the logic there. Even though I do think Jagusah can be a...

    '24 MA OT Guerby Lambert (Notre Dame Signee)

    Lambert being the 8th best OT in the country according to recruiting guru Andrew Ivins is laughable. Every year, he just continues to astonish me with how bad his evals are. They seem to get worse with time, not better. I think you can argue Thompson or Seaton being ranked ahead of him, but...

    '24 AZ S Kennedy Urlacher (ND -> SC)

    Man, Mike Brown is one of the biggest what-if stories in the NFL. He was easily one of the best safeties in the league, but that dude had the absolute worst injury luck. That dude was Canton bound and was one of many crucial injuries on that defense that likely cost the Bears a Super Bowl in '06.

    '24 NC ATH Bryce Young (Notre Dame Signee)

    Probably one of the few issues with Rivals. I can't fathom what they are watching when it comes to Young's ranking. Dude is very obviously a top 50 kid. Just an absolute athletic freak of nature, and his film shows as much. I could see if they were a little down on him for being a bit raw, and...

    2024 ND Projected Depth Chart

    Matt from ISD did a report on the OL a few days ago, kind of just summarizing where everybody was at and what the general vibe is around the program regarding them. Pendleton has been getting high praise for his mean streak. He's the kind of player you want at guard. Mean and physically...

    State of the Recruiting Class - 2024

    KVA perhaps, but Young was LONG overdue for a substantial bump. Halfway through the season, Young was still a three-star, which again, shows how incompetent Ivins is. It was very apparent early in 2023 that this kid was going to be a stud, and his growth spurt warranted at the very least a bump...
