2012 Fall Camp Thread

[Ironman8]

Manti just tweeted: "Let's go Andrew!!!"
I wonder if it means anything as to who our starter is.

I thought at first glance I though it was Andrew Luck, who is playing the Steelers right now. Could be neither. Who knows.

I didn't know the Colts were playing. I'm on a train.

It was definitely Luck. He had just completed a pass in the red zone right before that.

Thanks for the info. I thought it might've been breaking news. Sorry.

Seeing that tweet, I finally realize just how much I REALLY want Golson to be the guy. I got really bummed thinking Manti was outing the starting QB as Hendrix. Especially since all signs are pointing to Golson (every highlight of Brown making a big play is with the second stringers, and Hendrix is QB; every catch Eifert makes in the vids comes from Golson.)

EDIT: I realize it is not literally the case EVERY time, I'm just emphasizing the frequency of those examples in a poor fashion

I think he knew that just saying "Andrew" would stir up a conversation.

Some highlights from BGI interview with Diaco:

BGI:How is Manti Te’o different this year compared to last year?
Diaco: “He’s better. He got better every day. He has approached his game with such a high level of professionalism, and he’s so humble. There’s no perfect game. There’s no perfect practice. There’s no perfect meeting. He just knows the moments, and is hard on himself in the moments where he may lose focus. Even those moments are decreasing.

“Not only is he going to be one of the very best linebackers that ever played here, if not the best, he’ll be one of the very best linebackers to every play college football. To think that he’s approaching each day to get better, and getting better every day...”

BGI: Who are some young players you’ve been impressed with so far in camp?
Diaco: "Sheldon Day, we’ve been impressed with. KeiVarae Russell we’ve been impressed with in particular.

Irish coordinator Bob Diaco takes on more responsibilties

Sept 1 can't come fast enough. I truly think that this years team is going to suprise a lot of people.

Lol I'm sure some fan bases aren't expecting optimistic surprises this year.

 

[BobD]

I'm hype resistant.......NOT!

Press conference at noon tommorow. Some people on Rivals speculating that Kelly is naming the QB.

Finally, I will be named starting QB at ND!

No? Not naming me...sigh...maybe next year

doesn't really matter when starter is named the team knows and I think everyone around ND football knows.

Kelly is going to channel his inner-Epitome and tell us shocking, insider information that no one but a couple hundred thousand people knows about...

Zing!

That was funny for being the "serious" mod on the board that really made me laugh... now back to real football conversation.

Lo Wood done with an Achilles injury. Damn!

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Honest question:

Worse training camp ND or Oklahoma?

 

[tdbaum1]

Lo Wood done with an Achilles injury. Damn!

Some kinda sick joke?

 

[DSully1995]

I say the same thing every time i go undrafted, despite a solid 40 and GREAT HANDS!

 

[tdbaum1]

so its true?

 

[TerryTate]

so its true?

Yuuuuuup

 

[tdbaum1]

Yuuuuuup

ehhhhhhhhh...not good. It's not the end of the world though. I hope Lo gets better, but now its time for someone else to step up. Who's next on the depth chart?

 

[IrishLion]

Is the press conference about Lo, and maybe a few other bumps and bruises, or do we still think it's about the QB?

I would venture a guess that the press conference was scheduled before this happened to Lo. Probably just a state of team address...with a qb being named...since we are in game week now.

Yes it was scheduled way ahead of the Lo stuff but no, we aren't in game week. Still 11 days until Dublin. I wouldn't expect a QB announcement yet but if you have been watching or listening over the past month, you know the starter.

 

[Grahambo]

I say the same thing every time i go undrafted, despite a solid 40 and GREAT HANDS!

One of these years, I will be drafted in the 6th round of the NFL draft by the Detroit Lions, get a camp invite from the Golden State Warriors, get drafted in the 4th round of the NHL draft by the Nashville Predators, and the 11th round of the MLB draft by the Oakland A's...I just know it
