    '09 HI LB Manti Te'o (Notre Dame Man)

    This is worth a quick watch to get us hyped for the playoffs...

    '25 MD LB Nathaniel Owusu-Boateng (Offer)

    You might be right but I took it as "ick" without the c - "ick, ick, ick" - as in "gross."

    2024 College Football Playoffs

    The first several iterations of the committee were actually pretty good - they weren't afraid to change their rankings significantly week to week as new data came in and they were pretty consistent with what they valued - resume (SOS, SOR, who you beat) followed by "eye test" (they never used...

    ‘21 AL QB Riley Leonard (Duke Transfer - Notre Dame Verbal)

    I think he is a good person too. I also think he's capable of making a bad throw and he did on that play. Even if he thought Mitchell was supposed to run his route to that spot, he threw the ball right to the defender. He didn't put any loft under the ball to give KM a 50/50 chance, he just...

    ‘21 AL QB Riley Leonard (Duke Transfer - Notre Dame Verbal)

    RL was asked post-game if it was just a miscommunication between him and Mitchell on that play and he said, no, it was just a very poor throw by him.

    '25 WI K Erik Schmidt (Notre Dame Signee)

    No. Early enrollees can practice with the team but they can't play in games - and I'm not even sure he's an early enrollee.

    '21 CA K Josh Bryan (Notre Dame Signee)

    Yeah, Prister said he will be asking MF about Bryan at the next PC. Don't know when that will be. I think MF should definitely reach out if Bryan is interested.

    2024 College Football Playoffs

    She seems to be a popular target. A little over a week ago someone claimed she was looking for ND to lose to Army so the SEC teams behind them could move up when what she really said was "Bama, TN, and the others behind ND are rooting for Army," which was a true statement and had nothing to do...

    Marcus Freeman named Dick Corbett Head Football Coach

    This is true but I think people are selling him short on his impact as a head coach and the aggressive culture he's creating within his coaching staff - calling time-outs on D near the end of first halves to give the O time to score again, going for it on 4th down often and being successful at a...

    '19 MD WR Cam Hart (Notre Dame Signee)

    Harrison Jr. leads AZ WRs in yards and is tied for 4th in the league in TDs. He's very much in their game plan.

    Brian Kelly Revisited (RIP BOZO)

    I contend that BK never really bought into ND, had 1 foot out the door beginning in year 3, and was looking for the first good opportunity to bail after rebuilding his reputation after his disastrous 2016 season. ND was willing to pay him. He just didn't want to stick around ND.

    '19 MD WR Cam Hart (Notre Dame Signee)

    He also had this hit on Olave:

    He changed his tune once Shaun Crawford responded:

    Miami (OH) Postgame

    Yes, I believe this. Also, if Rees had stayed HH would have stayed and I think the OL would have been much more consistent with him in charge. That's not a knock against Rudolph. It was his first year as ND's OL coach. Transitioning to any new position coach isn't always seamless and I think...

    '19 MO RB Kyren Williams (Notre Dame Signee)

    He just scored his 3rd TD of the game to tie it up with under 2 min to go.

    Miami (OH) Postgame

    I didn't think the TR was a great OC. I thought he was good but also thought ND could have done better. "Faith in Rees" is an empty statement. I didn't have blind faith in Rees. What's relevant is I think Rees was significantly better than Parker.

    Miami (OH) Postgame

    The problem with this hindsight thinking is a decision is made based on the relevant facts at the time of the decision. If a significant fact changes after a decision is made, it is hard to conclude the wrong decision was made. The key fact you left out of your scenario above is MF and the...

    ‘21 AL QB Riley Leonard (Duke Transfer - Notre Dame Verbal)

    "Game manager" isn't an official term and you can find a wide variety of definitions, BUT there is a consensus and your definition doesn't fit that consensus. Improvisation has little to do with whether or not a QB is considered a game manager. The definition of game manager that most football...

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

    What was discussed by the beat writers and this board at the time, myself included, was the fact that ND had to look for a portal QB no matter what because the QB room was too thin and too young. They had just lost 2 QBs to the portal the year before in Pyne and Buchner and would have had only...

    Purdue Postgame

    O'Malley confirmed JB still has his 6th-year eligibility left due to Covid and this only being the 3rd game, so hopefully we'll see him suit up for the Irish again next year.
