Every fucking year, bad shit happens. Debilitating shit. I can't believe how out if it I feel now. It just never stops. Zaire, the one guy we couldn't afford to lose. It never fails. FML

I made it out to the practice this morning. Since the media can only report on the first 30 mins, I’ll go ahead and write what I saw. Caveat…this is from a fan’s perspective. I’m no football coach and I never played higher than h.s. so take it with a giant grain of salt. My two major take aways...

The media covered yetserday's practice, so there's no reason to rehash what they already wrote. It was a boring practice anyway, with the team, as CoachD put it, with dead legs and the coaches dialing things back. But the media had to leave before the best part of practice. Here’s what they...

Made it out to practice this morning. Sat with Mike Frank and Sean Mele, who had some great insights, and then Tim O'Malley and Anna Hickey (yes, THE Anna Hickey) from Scout sat next to me. Talked to Tim pretty much the last hour...great guy. Anna is very sweet, very down to earth. No tackling...

Saw this on another Irish site, so I thought it would be great to see what everyone got for Christmas, Irish-related or not. Here's my corny-ass answer: This was my daughter's first Christmas where she could actually understand somewhat what was happening. Like an idiot I got her something she...

So I'm on break for a couple of months, and other than some short mini-vacations, I've been in town. I usually am on campus daily, whether it is to work out or eat lunch with my wife who works on campus, before picking up my daughter from daycare after her nap. Seen some football related things...

Just got word that tomorrow Irishsportsdaily.com will be unveiling a new feature called ISD Intel. It will be like their Recruiting Notebook (always a great read, but comes out on Saturdays so not as many people read it), but I believe it will have some team info as well. Tomorrow's should be...

(Mods feel free to move this into a different thread.) Took the day off of work and made it to the practice today. I'll leave the technical football stuff to the experts, but here are a few observations. * Accidentally sat where the defense was, so I mostly saw the defense work. I didn't get a...

Another hit on a banner day for the Trojans! USC tight end Junior Pomee faces felony charges in theft - latimes.com Long story short...dude (Junior Pomee) was passed the hell out behind an alley of a frat house, and they caught him with stolen goods. Might've been doing it for awhile actually...

Since the Hoax thread turned into a Kate Upton thread, I'll put my response to a USC fan regarding Te'o here. I write this on ISD, and a mutual member suggested I write it here as we'll. how are you guys responding to people (besides ignoring...which is pretty much what I've been doing until I...

So, my buddy (USC grad) lets me check in on his Rival's paysite from time to time, and holy crap, THEIR ENTIRE BOARD IS DEDICATED TO MANTI TE'O. Seriously, on Friday there were at least 30 threads on Manti. And the amount of misinformation (aside from just bitter, filthy hate) is staggering to...

...one week of hell! From September 1 to January 6th, we had 17 weeks of football heaven. And this week has been quite the ****-storm LOL. I texted GB this morning and told him I was going into bunker mode cause I would be busy at work and didn't want to deal with the BK mess on message boards...

So the wife is putting our baby to bed, and I decided to go slumming and take a look at USC's "Peristyle". Now, this is a subscription site, and normally I would never post premium stuff, but this is just SC fans talking on a thread entitled "Does Manti Deserve the Heisman?" - it's not premium...

Well, I feel I have to say this to reverse the inevitable jinx I'm putting on this team for tomorrow's game. ND is 6-0 since I moved to South Bend after 38 years of living in Southern California. I've been to all 3 home games and screamed my head and didn't sit down once, I went to several...

One of the things that makes any forum great is healthy debate, with people bringing up different points of view. Amid the euphoria of this great Notre Dame win/season, I'm reading almost all positive comments on different ND boards about our team (I can't begin to tell you how awesome it is to...

Long day of waiting for the big game today, so I thought I'd share some thoughts on what I saw upon closer review of the MSU game, which I hadn't noticed the first time: * Kendall Moore - was a 3 or 4 star recruit, only plays on special teams in his 3rd year in the program. He could be a...

Was lucky enough to get tickets to today's game from my wife's uncle, an alumnus who got us field tickets in the endzone, front row. Great experience. I'll try not to rehash what has already been stated, but I'll give some thoughts from what I saw from the stadium: * Say what you want about the...

Who's coming to the game? I got lucky when my wife's uncle got us 2 tix as a congrats for our new jobs. The tickets are actually on the field, behind one of the endzones. He feels bad because I guess you can't see some of the action and some people don't like being down there, and those were...

So 5 years ago, I got to know another IE member, GOIrish!, through this late night thread someone started in anticipation of the season opener. We tossed a few back, and dissected the team, the season, why and how we became fans, and eventually just life in general. And it became a yearly thing...

Just wanted to start a thread showing appreciation to Coach Harry Hienstand. According to Will Fuller's high school coach, per ISD, Coach Harry Heistand has a MAJOR influence on getting Fuller to campus yesterday, which of course led to the switch. He put in a ton of work on Fuller since the...
