I'm doing nothing but complaining about the curse, but the people that say we're fine are the same people who will call it a great year when we go 10-3 in 2016. That's not a great year to me.

Again, I'm shocked, shocked that you are complaining. Who would've thought.

OK cool.


The rest of you can tell us recruiting is great and players dropping like flies is no biggie. I'm here to deliver the cold hard truth.

Of course, the cold hard truth is that ND is cursed. I knew that shit was real, thanks for the heads up.

The curse began when Lou Holtz was run out of town and Bob Davie sacked Joe Moore.

Sub-standard weight program? If there were anything going on at all, I would guess its simply lack of sleep because we travel all over the country and kids actually study.

Alabama Spring:

Redshirt freshman offensive guard Richie Petitbon suffered a torn ACL, sources told AL.com. He has already undergone surgery, which Alabama confirmed in a statement Tuesday morning. . . . A former four-star recruit, the 6-foot-4, 300-pound Petitbon was one of several players competing for a starting offensive guard spot with both jobs up for grabs.

Alabama redshirt sophomore running back Ronnie Clark suffered a torn Achilles tendon in practice Thursday, sources told AL.com. . . . This is the second Achilles injury for Clark since arriving at Alabama.

Alabama Academics:

5-star Athlete Bo Scarbrough did not qualify. Alabama is appealing and "he is very close to qualifying. That will take some time," Saban said. "Our goal is to get him here in January."

OL Montel McBride did not qualify and has enrolled in junior college.

Allow me to rebuttal on behalf of Koon.

Bama can afford to lost some guys because they are all 5 star guys with a few 4 star scrubs thrown in.

The reason Alanama doesn't suffer as much from injuries is better recruiting and over-recruiting, lower academic and disciplinary standards, and pushing out injured players, not better lifting regiments...

Agreed TCU lost every LB they had and had to move a safety to LB

I think it was the year before that Maryland had a LB at QB.

It happens how could you have avoid Folston or Zaire injuries last year.

People use our recent injuries and transfers as excuses for mediocre play all the time. So which is it? Do injuries happen only to ND, or do they happen to everyone?


It's stupid to say ND is the only team that gets injuries. But at the same time, I don't want to hear about so and so being injured as an excuse for going 8-4 or whatever.
