2025 Fall Practice Thread

Not really close to my guess at captains. Maybe QB will be a surprise too!

Would have been elite trolling had they named Bucher Captain and not said a word about QB.

 

[SDIrishFan]

ANNNDDD Wagner just announced as well. We're up to 6.

 

[Huntr]

I thought it would be Wagner, Schrauth and Greathouse

Shuler, Bowen and Botelho

Wagner gets a C

 

[NDVirginia19]

5/6 captains have eligibility remaining next year...

 

[Huntr]

Donuts and Pauling are the 2 surprises for me.

Hope that means Donnie is balling the F out this year.

 

[greyhammer90]

If that's it, no Love is a bit surprising just by nature of being the best player on the team.

I know I am an ISD Stan but they have beening banging the "this is closer than anyone thinks," all summer long.

Weirdly Danny Kanell of all people was on the watch out for Minchey winning this job bandwagon during the spring. Said he got that report from Bettis

 

[NDVirginia19]

OSU just announced Sayin as QB1

 

[2013Irish]

big soccer guy tho

Not sure if you've heard, but he's also bald and friendly with Clark Lea.

 

[NDPhilly]

Adon being a captain fires me up so much. Just a kid from Irvington.

One of my favorite players on the squad. All that dude does is work and excel.

Captain as a RS soph, lfg

He and his whole family were about as "all in" on ND as any recruit/player I can remember, so its nice to see it happening.

 

[PolishDomer]

It could be worse. It could be Nick Caserio's Patriots press photo, the greatest press photo, perhaps, of all time:

He's got those crazy eyes...must be related to Mike Singletary...

[NDFAN2008]

Called the Hinish Pick love it too

What’s the chances we seen him for his senior season would love to have him and Bowen back

 

[NDFAN2008]

5/6 captains have eligibility remaining next year...

I think they’ll all be back next year too only one who not sure about his Bowen I think he’s high up on draft boards

 

[Irish#1]

I want the gunslinger. After years of watching QBs check down and not trust what they see, I want someone to try to challenge those windows. Seems like half the time you get DPI anyway. Let’s Goooooo!!!!

To paraphrase Woody Hays when asked why he ran so much and didn't like to pass, "Three things can happen when you pass the ball and two of them ain't good".

 

[NDVirginia19]

Makes me think QB1 announcement is imminent

 

[Some Irish Bloke]

He also said Lorenzo Styles will be a top 10 ND receiver of all time

He wasn't?

 

[Some Irish Bloke]

big soccer guy tho

Serious red flag, IMO

 

[arndtjc]

Serious red flag, IMO

You mean red card?

 

[NDVirginia19]

For better or for worse, Pete is the most wine and cheese guy on the beat

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

I used to enjoy Pete - but in hindsight it was when he was just cozy with Lea and Rees

 

[NDTH91]

I’ve said this before, but would y’all really care if his last name was something other than “Carr?” Respectfully, it isn’t “Manning.” Nonetheless, if he was “Joe Jerkoff,” you wouldn’t care about this and you would be fucking amped for Minchey.

May the best man win. And with the o-line,STACKED running back room, and pretty damn stout WRs, Minchey and/or Carr will be just fine fellas.

We already tried his brother, Phil. Didn't work out well...

 

[AlaskanIrish]

When is the last time we had a receiver as captain?

Avery Davis. 2021 & 2022.

 

[BeatSC]

Has he even won the Syracuse job ?

He was announced the starter this morning

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

I'm actually starting to think that the program is actually getting pissed with the ND beat media...
...this is what happens when you try and build cardboard walled practices.
Just give the media a little damn availability.

I think there’s something to this too
