I hope that this thread will be useful to us folks who are less adept at Offense Analysis than others on the board, and I was motivated to toss it out there since I could use our better football peoples' insights. It would also be nice if we talked football here rather than objecting to Coach's...

I was wondering about if I had a question about a girl?, or was it a boy?, no, a dog ... nope not that either. I once had questions about phytoflagellated microorganisms, but I've lost interest. Maybe they interest you. I know that some of them may be in water. What are you drinking?

Prologue: One thing that I have wanted to see happen on IE, which doesn't seem to, is for some of our folks much more football-smart than I to take significant possessions in ballgames and break them down play-by-play. After almost every game the board goes slightly crazy about how we/they...

Gentlemen, I can use your advice. I'm old, but my still surviving Mom is REALLY old, just having celebrated her 96th birthday. She's weak now and the family members can't care for her at any of our homes... so she's in a [very good Catholic-run] nursing home. I have been trying to decorate her...

There may already be an existing thread for this, but I couldn't find it, so.... Since it's end of May and everyone's brain has rotted from lack of new actual football stimulation, I thought that something like this might help. Who would it be reasonable to sign on NSD for 2013s class, which...

We are naturally fixated on a very narrow window of what's going on with 2013 recruiting. It may or may not be worth looking at a part of the national picture. Putative Leaders at this moment: A). Most verbals: Michigan 17 Florida 15 Texas A&M 15 Georgia 15 Texas 13 OSU 13...

I can't help myself, but, despite the very long time period for things to develop in the 2013 class, one of my favorite areas of team-building seems not only slow, but a bit worrying due to unusual successful predation by Michigan and OSU. And, not a very good sign of the big teams letting up...

EDIT from NDinL.A.: ND has officially hired Tennessee OL coach Harry Hiestand. This is deserving of its own thread, so we'll pick it up with OMM's post: The hire interests me, so I've looked a little more. A). Dooley has lost 5 assistant coaches already down there, I think even not counting...

This is probably a thread not worth originating, but I can't help wanting to give a shout out to the guy who I feel has made the most added difference to this team. Louis Nix in my opinion is turning us into a team who can be in the game with anybody. The next three games will tell a lot about...

Something to muse upon during these doldrums: We often hear on this board concerns voiced about the size, or perceived lack thereof, usually of weight, of certain recruits that we are going for. I wondered what teams have been doing and who was succeeding. I looked at the top rated linemen in...

I'm a bit uncomfortable about this thread. It may be Duh-obvious to regulars, or it may be impenetrable. But a current thread on recruiting elsewhere has shown enough confusion on some of these issues, that maybe this isn't a waste of time. To begin, let's pretend like the football world was as...

Many people continue to evince serious concern that USF will be one of our toughest challenges. I'm creating this thread because it is hard for me to see them as one of the best we will play, and I want to hear the reasons why that's a poor assessment. I am perfectly happy to be wrong on this...

This is something which has been puzzling me and maybe some of you smarter folks can give me some insights. We've been obsessing a bit on how well Hoke is doing recruiting at Michigan [The recent Kalis thing probably adds to that]. I'd like your views on this: Michigan's 2011 class had 20...

Couldn't find any information on the board on this player, so I offer this: According to a recent ISD story, some interest is building for the services of Pace, a 6'3', 285 lbs defensive tackle. He is now beginning to get offers from teams like Illinois, Pitt, and Cincinnati. All of these teams...

This will be largely b.s., so don't take any of the details/opinions too seriously. Coach Kelly has often stated that he thinks "X" "Y" or "Z" on the team is capable of "winning" football, but that he doesn't know about "championship" football. Whenever Coach talks about "championship football"...

The following may or may not be interesting to persons only interested in Notre Dame recruiting, but I believe that it creates a little context. The information here was pretty accurate as of the end of last week. Notre Dame is in a cluster of schools with six verbal commitments [OSU; GA; OkSt...

[Gentlemen: this is a first try at this so bear with me]. ESPN has a lengthy section up where it lists who it believes are the top prospects position-by-position for the 2012 class. Because I am always concerned about us having enough bigs, I waded through the TOP 100 defensive tackle prospects...
