    2023 Fall Camp

    The irony of propping up Michigan's LBs is that JD had more TFLs than any of Michigan's LB's. Y'know...the thing we rag JD for lacking. I think the problem with Marist was two-fold. One, was him being hurt for much of the year and not getting time to really develop. 2) Not being in a position...

    2023 Fall Camp

    It pretty much comes down to JD being a good LB, but fans are always looking for better. JD is the Ian Book of LB's. He's done well to maximize his potential, but his potential isn't that of Nolan Smith or Fred Warner. He's, as some have said, a better Joe Schmidt. He's a great captain and QB...

    I'm not sure, but I heard SPEED is has something to do with it.

    2021 Watch Party: Week Zero

    Every one is saying "Gabbo this" and "Gabbo that"! But no one is saying "Worship this" and "Jericho that"!

    2023 Fall Camp

    I mean, it doesn't help that your best interior player and offensive captain misses that game and they have to pretty much get Kristofic ready in like 2 days. Also, Fisher was coming off an injury and had half a game of experience. Lugg was known to be very physically limited and there were...

    Winning doesn't necessarily equate to recruiting success. During Kelly's 5 year from from 2017-2021, where he went 54-9. His recruiting success didn't really go up. You have to combine success with legitimate grind on the trail and quality logistics. Kelly has shown a lack for any of that, and...

    2023 Fall Camp

    I'd be shocked if the production from the TEs was that low. It'd be the lowest by far since 2015, when our only productive TEs were Durham Smythe and Nic Weisher. No disrespect to them, but I think this group is WAY more talented and deeper, even with the loss of Bauman. Smythe has turned in a...

    '25 OK TE Nate Roberts (Ohio State Verbal)

    I'm leaning more towards Thune being full of shit because....well, he often is. I think it's as simple as the kid realizing he wants to stay close to home and has a good program near him.

    You've got Staes, Evans and Sherwood who are full go and Raridon will likely be full go sooner rather than later. You've got plenty of bodies at TE.

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

    Drove his car into a lake, likely fell asleep at the wheel. I don't know if drugs/alcohol were ever connected to his death.

    What is the "uniform surprise"?

    I felt the same way. Apparently, those are a yearly tradition that UAB wears those kind of jerseys for the children's hospital. So yeah, I'm probably going to hell now. So there's that.

    2023 Fall Camp

    Not sure that's true. He started out camp with the 1s, but since then, LG has been a pretty constant rotation. Wagner was rolling with the 1s at LG prior to Coogan taking over there. Coogan being there is the first time there's really been a solid guy at that spot all camp.

    2023 Fall Camp

    General consensus on Schrauth is that he is very inconsistent, where he dominates one play and then whiffs hard the next.

    I think it's part of the reason. Another I've heard is that the FUND recently added a few new members to their board, who are billionaires. So that is big money being attached to the FUND and it's probably a helluva lot easier for the FUND to do the paperwork on a few major donations from...

    2023 Fall Camp

    I disagree. Jamie has his own ranking system and frankly, his rankings match what is shown on film. He and the other ISD guys were fairly critical of ND's recruiting strategy at safety and still aren't super confident in where they stand. So it's not simple sunshine pumping. He thinks guys...

    2023 Fall Camp

    Yeah, I think people are reading way too much into the receiver play today. Seems like they've have had good camps up to this point. Not sweating it. And as others have mentioned, corner is REALLY good this year.

    So on TOS, people were mentioning that the FUND used to have a donate feature on their website, but that has since gone missing. I reached out to the FUND and asked them how would somebody be able to donate on their site. This was their response: Okay.....but why? The whole purpose of the...

    '21 CA QB Tyler Buchner (ND FB -> Bama FB -> ND LAX???)

    Awful list. Kind of off-topic, I'm not buying the Bear Alexander hype for even a second. Georgia let him go for being a locker room cancer. Let's just think about that for a second. GEORGIA, the program that has been literally speed-running how to out-scum Urban Meyer's Florida, didn't want...
