    Ask Merckxe525 aka Dear Abby

    You can't lock this thread, I haven't had a chance to ask Merckxe about NIL yet

    2025 Spring Practice Thread

    Link is below. Unlike some people, you can probably appreciate nuance. The exact quote is that he still maintains that Carr is the future but Angeli is playing well enough to make him the now. Meaning, Carr has the most long term talent but a 4th year player in Angeli is doing very well to keep...

    2025 Spring Practice Thread

    It's interesting how sometimes the standpoint players list can vary from reporter-to-reporter. Sometimes it seems like there's 20 different names over all of them. So the fact that the same guys are showing up on multiple lists is very exciting!

    Ask Merckxe525 aka Dear Abby

    Nice list. Dabo would embrace the unique aspects of Notre Dame completely. As goofy as he is, some say disingenuous, he also seems to have an affinity for the history of ND. Lea has done well at ND but I don't know if he has the "je ne se quoi" that we've found with Marcus Freeman. Dillingham...

    Ask Merckxe525 aka Dear Abby

    For all the Loy commentary in the last few pages, I believe this tidbit came from him. From what I recall, I think they were very full from eating all day and didn't accept the homemade food that Graham's mother made for the dinner she hosted for them at her house. Big no-no

    '22 AZ CB Benjamin Morrison (Notre Dame Signee)

    I'll be interested to see how this changes over the next few weeks. I listen to the Chris Simms podcast a bunch on my commute, but mostly his draft coverage. I think he's had some really good calls (Mahomes bandwagon before there was any wheels) and some bad ones (Matt Corral as #1 QB during...

    If I'm reading between the lines here, Chad had some issues relating with others who weren't born with a silver spoon in their mouth and everything handed to them.... So many inferences to be made between these two posts... Can't wait...

    Ask Merckxe525 aka Dear Abby

    I love Bothelo and was so happy to see his improvement last year. But if he truly tore his patellar tendon, I don't know if he'll ever reach the same level again. It's a bad injury

    Chad Bowden to USC

    The most straightforward answer I can give you is that no one knows who he is but everyone implicitly trusts him 100%. He's an insider who made his presence felt on II247 during the transfer portal saga this fall and has decided to join our board for a little bit recently. So of course people...

    Chad Bowden to USC

    My opinion taking into account the most recent updates from II and Merck. Blanchard has been asking for full autonomy and control. If he's good at his job, that's great. But, if he undermines the structure that Coach Freeman wants then it's never going to be worth it. If he joins ND, cool...

    Chad Bowden to USC

    I love his work, but it's got to be Loy as persona non grata. He's had too many missteps that's led to the coaching staff the way it is now. Singleton Crystal Ball during the trip. Avery Johnson as a serious flip. Dante Moore's unending fiasco. Must have started a few years ago because Loy...

    Chad Bowden to USC

    Some 247 folks should stay a while... Some are better left over there lol. You'll know what I mean if you browse any post. There are a handful that purposely detail and troll every topic. When I first found IE, this is the site that had the most insiders and connections. It's always been a...

    Website Problems + Updates

    Yes. I can't access via Firefox but can through Chrome. Has been this way since mid-afternoon. This is the error I get from Firefox. My first thought was also the expired security certificate. Been around here long enough to live through a few of those.

    ND Defensive Coordinator search- 2025

    Respectfully, I think you are mixing up Head Coach Jimmy Lake with Defensive Coordinator/Defensive Backs Coach Jimmy Lake. Dude was Mike Mickens before Mike Mickens, with a legacy of draft picks to go with the development. If you look at all of the players he recruited to UW and/or developed...

    '22 TX RB Jadarian Price (Notre Dame Signee)

    A lot of his negative play runs were inside. They just happened to be poorly blocked my the OL and TE. He had the most explosive offensive play in the Sugar Bowl that was called back on a holding penalty. As someone stated above, he bounced it outside. Same was true for TA&M. Somehow that...

    2025 Transfer Portal

    Guy later said he didn't have any sources, he just "studied the roster" May still have people transfer out but I wouldn't lose sleep over what this guy is saying today

    Natty Postgame

    I didn't want to say outcoached until I rewatch the game, but there were a lot of missed tackles that works have been 1 it 2 years gains into 7 or 8 yards. Same thing behind the line of scrimmage. Definitely didn't do a good job spying Howard, that's on coaches. At the same time, too many...
