April 23 | Blue-Gold Game

National somewhat known ND hater opinion:



screw the picture but interesting to hear a national guy who likely had no idea who Price or JR was confirm our Kool aid green eyes

I actually thought he was a hater for a very long time, but recently he admitted he’s an ND fan oddly enough. I think he’s super critical of ND to appear unbiased to his somewhat national betting base. But he’s decently plugged in with CFB betting across the board.

Yeah, I know the OL isn't where it will be in the fall, but I don't see two 1000 yard rushers either, much less three. I'm really curious what kind of offense Tommy puts together this season. Lots of young talent, but there's still a lot we don't know about TB and the passing game may struggle if the WR group is anything like what we saw today. We might need a strong running game to be successful actually.

I'm not sure there's any "might" about it. This will likely be a run-first team. That said, unlike last year we have a QB with wheels, which should some pressure off the OL, and we have enough quality RBs to figure one or two will emerge. Buchner does seem to have the arm to go deep to Lenzy and Styles when the D starts cheating into the box. And of course you have Mayer for when we just need eight yards.

It'll be OK. But yeah the defense will be what carries us.

Haha wow I would never in a million years think that. He’s so bluntly negative about ND sometimes I guess it’s just a negative nancy meeting overcompensation.

He is a good follow for sure for gambling or CFB in general though. Especially in the pre-season

Does anybody know if there's a YouTube link to see the entire game?

Not sure on YouTube but I think you should be able to replay it on peacock, and not the premium version.

I believe it’s also on the ND app.

 

[Rasputin]

Rasputin's non-football observations from the Blue-Gold game weekend:

1. Indiana's new laws prohibiting fitness, fruits and vegetables seem to be a big success. 3XL is the new Medium in South Bend.

2. If the Boy Scouts of America every truly want to be relevant again they need to ditch the "helping an old lady cross the street" badge and introduce a "helping old people with the new automated food ordering tablets and kiosks". The Rasputins observed a couple in their early 60s struggle with the Subway tablet in LaFortune for over 20 minutes rejecting all offers of assistance. In that time, a father and son in line behind them downloaded the Subway app, ordered and received their food.

3. Probably due to the iffy weather, for the first time ever the Rasputin entourage enjoyed a very private, quiet moment of reflection at the Grotto on Friday night. Needed and necessary. Still tearing up just thinking about it.

4. Everyone should watch a baseball game at Frank Eck Stadium. What a glorious baseball field for a wonderful team. And it's free!!

5. Two ND students sat near the Rasputins for the 1st half of the game. This Rasputin thought they were rehearsing for the full feature movie version of the SNL skit "Guy Who Owns a Boat.". So many Brahs, and Bro, Dude and Totally. Gross.

6. On a completely different note, the rest of the ND student body could not have been more gracious all weekend.

7. Apparently the State of Indiana also banned sunscreen. On Saturday night, the Eddy Street Commons was full of of people sporting what could best be described as a "fire alarm red tan".

8. As the Rasputins drove home and observed the hundreds of dead raccoons lying on the side of the interstate, one could not help draw comparisons to Drew Pyne's chances of being QB1.

That is all.

I went to the first half of the baseball game friday. Then switched over to the softball game before it started pouring.

The atmosphere (probably due to all the chanting in the dugouts) was way better at the softball game.

Thoughts:
- Pyne sucked (duh) and what’s with the balls to expose a shaved flabby white belly?

This was probably the biggest takeaway I had from the game...WTF was he thinking exposing his beer belly? That is an balls move...onions🧅🧅

My guess is the game didn't pan out the way he planned. Went all in with the "attitude" look and laid an egg instead.

Breaking News:

Drew Pyne inks 7 figure NIL deal with Slimfast.

 

[Dale]

It’d guess his DL getting a push + not being down 21 trying to make a play will help with the tackling

Looks more like he decided to carry the egg to full term.

Then found out he was carrying twins!

My favorite Pat Fitzgerald moment! Props to that camera man, I saved the video clip on Youtube I loved it so much.
Boykin catches a 20 yard pass from Book to put ND up, Pat looks lost

You ever wanna see a rather "large" fanbase I'd encourage you to flip on a North Dakota State name. There is a reason the insult "Heifer" is very well understood back home.

Me and some buddies were joking we have the only venue in the country who would lose capacity by switching to bench seats from being an All-Seater

Come on down to Alabama……when the folks here haul ass, they have to make two trips……..it’s not pretty.

Thank you for your service but JD Bertrand is gonna return to third string MIKE and WILL. Junior and Kollie are your backups.

Interesting… did not hear Golden make that statement

Spring Game Flashback from Shane Gillis (NSFW)

 

[Mattmags]

When do they normally announce the blue-gold game day/time? I want to bring the family in 2023 and was hoping to book well in advance. I assume it's late April, but wasn't sure if it was always the same Saturday every year.

It's usually mid-late April and they normally don't announce it March or so. Looks like they didn't announce last year until 3/15

So... not a night game then

But, what you can do is book hotel reservations with free cancellations for each weekend in April. Just have to remember to cancel them. I've done this several times for South Bend weekends. You'll pay a little more for the per night, but you can ensure that you book a hotel before they hike up prices for the game weekend (though hotels aren't usually very expensive for the spring game, compared to the insane prices for the fall games).
