    Ja'Juan Seider - Running Backs Coach

    RB expectations need to be adjusted accordingly. With that said, I'm far more concerned about OL and Denbrock moving the chains in short yardage w/o two RBs that made everyone on offense look like wizards every time they touched the ball. That doesn't mean I'm pissing down my leg over the...

    USC recruiting and everything else

    Agreed. I'm also not willing to concede that IU just hit lightning in a bottle though as the poster suggests. One year? Yes. Back to back? No. That program is in infinitely better shape than USC's imo because of coaching (both schools are big NIL spenders). It's also a mid-Nov game at...

    Ja'Juan Seider - Running Backs Coach

    I saw Zack the other day. Should've asked if he had any eligibility.

    I need to get Fortuna's opinion on this before I decide how I feel....please hold.

    Chris "Belt To" Ash - Defensive Coordinator

    Fair. I'm just speaking from the perspective of a 40 year fan with PTSD that whenever ND gets close, something holds them back and we hear about the excuses the following off season. Seeing IU come out of nowhere to beat OSU, Oregon (2x), and Miami, also throttled a bad Bama team really got...

    Chris "Belt To" Ash - Defensive Coordinator

    Agree with all of your bullet points. But to the bolded...worst case scenario is right. It caused ND to miss the playoffs and a chance at a title. That's my entire point. I'm not suggesting ND might fall of a cliff and be the worst defense in football. I'm simply injecting a healthy bit...

    Chris "Belt To" Ash - Defensive Coordinator

    I don't normally worry myself over losing positional coaches. It's the nature of the sport. But losing all of them in one off season, during a time in which ND is favored to win the natty....not gonna lie, I'm worried about coaching continuity and coming out slow again or having hiccups...

    I grew up in the region. It is something, that's for sure. Friends in LaPorte area right now saying they were only expecting a few inches yesterday, but ended up with another 12" on top of what they already had. His wife's flight in from Florida got diverted to Iowa because of the snow. Had...

    Foreign Policy

    Protecting national sovereignty (that of the Vatican, in your example) by upholding the rules of law is not the same as rounding people up inhumanely at best or killing them at worst. The Church's teachings oppose extremism (in either direction) and would absolutely not condone the actions of...

    Various measurements around my house are in the 8.5" to 10" range in Westfield. Lots of drifting. What kind of snowblower does everyone recommend? I've made due with an electric snowblower for the last 10 years. The batteries aren't what they once were and this snow storm about did it in...

    '09 IN OT Zack Martin (Notre Dame Man)

    Do you or anyone on here know if Zack lives in Indy now? Specifically Carmel? My son had a Dad’s Club basketball game today and I would bet my life that Zack was there coaching or helping. I’m not the type of person who’d just straight up ask. If it wasn’t him, there is another gigantic Zack...

    Sports cards

    Pretty much my experience too and why I’ve resorted to only collecting GOATS and vintage HOFs. I’m not interested in flipping cards or ripping to chase the flavor of the month. I’ve spent about $75 on individual packs for my kids the last couple of months and only pulled about $5 worth of...

    Ironically, the great state of Indiana acted like they didn't care much when ND was in the championship last year (outside of actual ND fans, that is). Likewise, I can't see the same reaction from the entire state if Purdue suddenly became a powerhouse and went to the title game. But yeah...

    Oh wow. Sorry to hear that. That didn't even cross my mind. Thanks for the tip. Has Messi confirmed that he's playing in the World Cup? That might be an option too, depending on cost. I'm seeing Argentina will be in Kansas City June 16th.

    Sports cards

    I used Christmas and my son's recent birthday as excuses to buy packs "for him", so I could enjoy them being opened. Haha. I don't care much for the modern stuff though. If it's a specific player with a certain parallel, etc, I'll just go buy the graded version. However, as far as packs go, I...

    Sports cards

    Any thoughts on when the sports card bubble might pop? Good grief. List prices and sold prices are still exceeding comps by a large margin on many players. For example, my son's interest in soccer has lead him to wanting to collect some Messi cards. Idk much about soccer, but I know he's one...

    Everything Soccer

    I'm not a soccer person. Never played the sport. Don't understand a damn thing about the sport. Etc. But I have a 7 year old son who enjoys playing and lately has become obsessed with all things Messi. I honestly wasn't sure if Messi was still playing so I looked it up. Can any of you guys...

    See Lax's post. I'll add some more of my own... 4. Not realistic to expect that level of QB play every year playing portal roulette. Mendoza was insanely accurate and I'd argue was the difference between 4-0 in their close games versus another QB possibly going 0-4 or 2-2, etc. 5. Did I hear...
