    Foreign Policy

    I'm talking about us going into a huge geographical and political and criminal mess and saying that WE are going to run it until it is straightened out. If the current political leaders were/are corrupt, sure, it's great to see them go. But for US to stay and run that country? Wow. Anyone who...

    Foreign Policy

    This is WAY more serious than whatever those previous comments are about. When a spectacular limited operation takes place (which our Leviathan can pull off on a weekly basis due to overwhelming power), it leaves behind a massively changed situation. In this one we have an entire complicated...

    ‘23 VA DL Armel Mukam (Notre Dame Signee)

    Other than Oklahoma, that list doesn't surprise me. I'd seriously consider the possibility of an attitude-change upside explosion.

    2025 College Football Playoffs

    If we would have played mid-late in this season we'd win most of a ten game series. I still believe watching our wildly dynamic ability to just explode in teams' faces in MANY ways, that we were the best by that time of the year against anybody. By year's end, we were the badasses. Carr was...

    2025 College Football Playoffs

    I refuse to forget that if our very good safety was fully up to speed on that one catch, he would have collided it out of there. THAT single moment is the play of the season. (I'm not "on" Shuler; he was really good for us; just not that play.) AND, I refuse to forget that the last team to...

    2025-2026 Notre Dame Women's Basketball

    My point is: this is not "the girls are loafing." My point is: a. there aren't enough of them; b. they generally aren't talented enough; c. they can't get any in-game breaks (nor probably in practices either.) All of that falls on staff.

    2025-2026 Notre Dame Women's Basketball

    Understand. But they were at home with three+ days rest and in the previous-to-that game played nine players significant minutes. Getting some in-games blows now and then plus sleeping in one's own bed etc, is pretty good medicine for late-game fatigue.

    2025 College Football Playoffs

    I'll go the unpopular way: I'd like to see Miami crush Mississippi (I don't think they will because of the QBs mobility, but I still think they'll win.) So why? This I believe is obvious: A.) It eliminates the SEC entirely from any media defense that any of their teams were really good. They...

    2025-2026 Notre Dame Women's Basketball

    Watched zero, but read the stats. 6 players only, which includes Sanchez first game back after being out (she easily could NOT be 100%). The other five players labored for 40 minutes apiece --- this game went overtime. We lost the OT and the 4th quarter. Now ... if I'm only playing 5 & 1/2...

    '22 MI OLB Joshua Burnham (Notre Dame Signee)

    How many people other than Coogan himself can look themselves in the mirror and say that they knew why he left? BUT, here's a guy with a possible NFL career who is seeing another guy (Craig) favored over him for starting snaps, and an end to a career coming up. How "simple" does it have to get...

    2025-2026 Notre Dame Women's Basketball

    No one cares much anymore, but I noticed two things about tonight's game vs a poor Pitt team: 1.) we won rather easily; and 2.) we are apparently down to a five player team, as Sanchez joined Bransford on the "zero participation" status. 5-players-only went 30++ minutes each. Muffet always liked...

    '07 TN S Harrison Smith (Signed LOI to Notre Dame)

    He was "an adequate sort of player" at linebacker; not "so bad." Always boggles my mind that sentences seem to require extreme language. It's like "if I don't scream in your ear, you won't hear me." Smith always showed elements of true potential.

    '24 TX CB Leonard Moore (Notre Dame Signee)

    Sometimes you see a player in action who is so good, even I casually see it clearly. Moore's like that. People talk about WRs as having great catch radii. Moore looks like he's strolling INSIDE the opponent's catch radius. Remarkable.

    '22 WI OG Billy Schrauth (Notre Dame Signee)

    High quality OLinemen were finally demonstrated even to the stupid media to be PRIME value in the NFL this year. Many teams failed in LARGE part because the OLine got injured. Schrauth is very high upside Guard quality (tough as hell, great hands, and big brains.) He'll get drafted and play...
