Chad Bowden to USC

[NDFAN2008]

Merck what are you hearing in Watson? Do you like our chances and if we don’t get him whose next in line

 

[Terry Jillery]

Anyone you can get from this Lions organization — until proven otherwise — I assume is a great hire.

I’ll take Campbell, Hutchinson, Amon-Ra, Gibbs, and Goff. Should make us decent.

Hi Merck, I'm making a chestnut pistachio romesco to pair with a seared pork chop but I can't find chestnuts at my grocery store. Do you think I could double up on the amount of pistachios without worry, or would that make the pairing too one note? I'll hang up and listen.

 

[TheRealLynch51]

- I know he’s a difficult pull.

- He’s only seriously entertaining communication because he deeply respects Freeman.

- He’s serious enough that there is potential for a visit to be rescheduled.

- I am aware of other names, but I’ve been asked to remain quiet for now. (Watson’s name wasn’t supposed to get out)

Fucking Loy'd again

I also just read in an old Irish Sports Daily piece which was covering KW's son who was being recruited by Lyght and ND back in 2018 that KW1 and Autry Denson are childhood friends.

His sons team (he was also heavily involved with Grayson too) beat my sons team for the state championship in 2017. Watson was known around Metro ATL as a guy that could connect kids with big time programs in the SEC. I'm convinced if we pulled him we would see an influx of talent we aren't use to seeing. I'm not thinking OSU type talent but at least a handful of 5 star kids every year.

Who was the fat guy that recommended Martin again? He’s got a lot on the line, no pun

 

[Rizzophil]

Haha:

I feel going with all pistachios would overpower the dish. The chestnuts not only add a flavor layer, they also help to accentuate the more earthy notes of the seared pork chop. Additionally, going with all pistachios, may make the dish taste a bit too salty.

How did Ben Mo hurt his hip

Merck, what's the latest update of Gunner Rivers? How many Natty's will he take us to? Over under 3.5

I'm not Merck but you can never go wrong with extra pistachios.👍🍀

 

[NDPhilly]

Didn’t know his pops was still actively doing shows

 

[NDdomer2]

- Freeman is actively considering tweaks to the way the game is played.

- No, Notre Dame retains decision making for the structure of the game.

Notre dame or NBC?

POY quality

 

[GoldenAura]

@Merckxe525 any idea of how soon we may hear a final decision from Watson? Also, I know you said there are other names out there but I’m curious if they might re-evaluate options with any input from Martin. Although I suppose that’s probably premature considering he was just announced. Mostly asking out of boredom. And I bet 2008 would love to know too.

 

[Irish4life]

There are a number of targets, but Rivers is firmly one of them at the moment.

Given his father’s views on Notre Dame, there is at least initial interest.

Sorry if already asked, but what are you hearing about the 2026 recruiting class? Is ND thinking that it will be a step up from '25? How does ND feel about Grubbs as a prospect?

 

[Rizzophil]

His hip issues first flared in practice, and then of course, resulted in a season ending injury during the Stanford game.

I assume you’re primarily asking to know if he’d had hip problems before that game? If so, yes.

Thanks

Hi Merck,

Can you tell me the next +5000 parlay to hit?

Merck, what is the solution to world hunger?
Is Pluto a planet?
Do UFOs exist?
What is the meaning of life?
Are potatoes vegetables?

Addendum:

Why do we drive on a parkway, and park on a driveway?

Is Bigfoot real?

Where is the Holy Grail located?

Where is Atlantis located?

Chicago Deep Dish or NY whatever pizza?

Is this seriously what were doing now? You guys can beat a dead horse like nothing I have ever seen. It was funny once.

If this keeps up, I'm afraid he's going to stop posting on here.

Wouldn’t blame him

 

[BrooklynDomer]

If this keeps up, I’m going to stop checking to see if he even does. The board is completely unreadable. This thread needs a nuking like the Seider one got

 

[MacIrish75]

It’s not that deep fellas. It’s February in a thread titled “Chad Bowden to USC.” Don’t you think when there’s new info that there will be a new thread for that info…just like there usually is?

I mean I’m definitely one of the main “antagonists,” but in large part the discussion never turns to food convo until the thread is pretty much dead anyway.

But I digress, I will step aside in this thread for any and all information pertaining to Chad Bowden and USC that you all are so ready to discuss. Have at it!

 

[NDohio]

Need to rename the thread - Ask Merck!

Yeah, I'm sure the posts that people are bitching about is not as annoying as the fan girl behavior where the dude is being pelted from all sides with questions, even before, during and shortly after the poor guy had surgery. But I too digress like Mac and make way for those who thirst to be hydrated with ND info.

 

[rikkitikki08]

It’s the off season boys, just not alot to talk about besides chubby chasers and pizza. Accept it, this is the charm and beauty of Irish Envy

How about the fact that Merck actually was/is answering questions in THIS thread about various things pertaining to the program and bow we have to sort through all the stupid shit thats in half the threads around here anymore.

At one point in time it was actually expected on this board to keep threads on topic. Mods have pretty much let that go to shit.

Whether it be food threads, ask merch stupid questions, who/how/when nonsense, Ty Chan nonsense, listing off 1000 white athletes every timenwere recruiting a white WE, etc etc etc its all the same.
It is funny the first time because its original thought, then its a nightmare of never ending sequence of bad spinoff of a “me too” movement of middle aged male nerds who think theyre funny trying to outdo each other with corny attempts at humor.

Sorry, its not funny.

Make Irishenvy Great Again…

 

[Dale]

Let’s stay on topic guys, we can talk about the DPP hire that has 10 pages of content, the spring predictions we will rehash another 20 times or the next 5 Mickens jobs he will leave for

It’s February, there is little topic, to be on topic about at this point.


BTW, asking Mercke questions isn’t on topic to this thread.
