By the way, I saw something the other day about someone from Hobart IN and it made me smile, regarding a conversation with one of the locals about "the Brickies."

Ah, high school nicknames

the Frankfort Hot Dogs
the Vincennes Alices

And the former nickname of Pekin Illinoism which had a mascot, with hat, to match.
dammit, step slower than Whiskey Jack!

Got a few of our bus windows shattered on a trip to the Brickie Bowl. Pizzed me off so much that I took Ted Karras' girlfriend as my concubine and made her comfort me in my tent.

And how dare you bring up the Alices without bringing up their enemy... The Washington Hatchets, Home of one of HS Basketball's shrines... The Hatchett House. Justin Brent would be sad we didn't mention his Speedway Sparkplugs and as a former LaPorte resident, a Slicer namedrop is probably in order. Indiana and Illinois have some good ones.

The more graphic gif of what follows is still in heavy circulation, so while most haven't seen the movie, lots of people are familiar with the relevant scene.

You musta had a killer VHS collection growing up cuz you ain't old enough to know about that movie.

I'll never forget that movie cuz my girlfriend threw up all over the people in front of us on that exact scene. Oh to be a kid again!

I think even young folks know about the Scanners head explosion. It's a legendary moment.

Freebie from Singer on Nico: https://notredame.rivals.com/news/el...-dame-football

“I love Notre Dame,” Iamaleava stated. “When I went out there to see it, they had their green-out and the whole stadium was full. All you could see was green. The fans knew me and were chanting my name. It was amazing. I felt very at home. It was a great experience meeting Coach Rees, and I talk to him probably twice a week. We’ve built a great relationship."

Doesn't sound half bad.....

Lincoln Riley @ USC probably helps our cause with Nico now that Malachi switched back to USC.

havent paid much attention to the '23 class so forgive me for asking but how good is nico iamaleava as a QB?

He would be quite the land. Incredible measurables. Likely would be the most promising QB we've landed since maybe Clausen.

He's merely the 24/7 #3 QB and #5 Overall prospect.

So... he's got some room for improvement.

1219Booopa · Dec 8, 2021

My number one recruiting want, he could be huge for the program. Good that Rees and Freeman now are on it.

at 6'6 he looks pretty skinny in the pictures and i wouldn't be surprised to see him get up to 225lbs by his sophomore year in college.

Michigan and Gattis have some momentum... which is going to make Dante a tough pull.

It’s crazy how much momentum changes.

What if UGA destroys Michigan & ND beats Okla St in the bowls & ND finished ranked higher than Michigan. Then next year Michigan goes back to their usual selves & OSU beats them by 30 in Columbus.

I think Michigan’s momentum is going to be short lived.

Next Duke HC could be Gattis or Elliott from Clemson. Two indirect impacts to us.

ive been hoping gattis gets the duke job adn elliott takes virginia, but I would take vice versa. I just havent seen Gattis name associated with Virginia like i have Duke.

More transitory than the current inflation, huh?

inflation, I am told, fluctuates and undulates.

that seems to comport with my limited observation

Sorry, it's difficult for me to pick up those subtleties. I've seen plenty of people seriously telling me the inflation is transitory and yet their economic understanding lacks serious foundation when they try to explain why. I guess it was a talking point a few weeks ago and now it's been dispelled? I don't follow any news outlets so this is purely speculative based on what I read form random people on the internet.

I believe it was Simmons that just posted a highlight video of him. this kid is different. Might be the difference in winning a national title in the next 5 years. I like the kid from Texas but this dude might be a possible must get. Gotta keep him from the sec.

KPENN · Dec 19, 2021

Matt Freeman at ISD doesn’t think he’s a realistic target.

I'd take him over everyone in 2023 outside of Arch. I think he's a step above Malachi and Moore.

#1 player in the class for ND... to me.

98.7% chance it does not happen.

arrowryan · Dec 19, 2021

Let’s hone in on Arnold and quit wasting our time here.

I’m just not seeng the arm talent. He is VERY athletic for a QB at 6’5, but most of the time he is throwing to wide open WRs and they are still having to adjust to underthrown balls. His placement leaves a ton to be desired and i haven't seen any clips that demonstrate elite zip or arm strength. Maybe they are out there, i just havent seen it. His size and athleticism oozes potential but there are just some things i am not seeing in the film i have found.
