NOOOOOO!

When someone you have on ignore gets quoted all their gif's show up.

New rules:

Quote Gifmaster J = get negged.

Just as a friendly reminder. Anyone that spends time on someone they hate is someone they like.. Life's a pickle.

Got to give Quinn a break even with Long now long gone; Hainsey is still out and it’s questionable if Kramer and Banks are healthy enough to play...

Kelly seemed pretty confident saying that Banks and MTA would be back. Makes me think it’s not that significant for Banks.

I see Circa posted that in the wee hours. That can only mean he's busy in his moms basement building a catalog so large it will rival the Library of Congress.

"Mom, can you get me a Hot Pocket and a Mountain Dew Nitro?

Hasn’t the offense produced better stats wise since losing Kraemer & Hainesy? Don’t get me wrong, Kraemer was the best OL on that unit & Hainsey is a solid vet but I think I heard the numbers have been better as a unit since they went down. Now if that’s a product of the last four opponents being weak then we have to take that into account regarding Book as well and ask if he can ever get it done vs the better teams on the schedule.

Or it could be a product that is supposedly when Long relinquished play calling duties.

Yeah, sucks when someone on ignore gets quoted,... I apologize to the masses for this one.

Yup, sounds like our O players all had bumper stickers that said "mean coaches suck".

Will be interesting to see if Book can do well vs that 3-3-8.
What will be even more interesting is to see if Quinn's boys can look better vs the 3-3-8.
If they don't look good and can't run decently... and without Long as an excuse, I'll be on the fire Quinn train. If Quinn does well, all-in on him coming back.

I would think the defense would get flagged for too many men on the field first.

No biggie. I don't mind Circa, it's just the volume of GIF's that bog down me 3G phone.

And I plan to ride out the 3G platform until they cut me off and force me & my Moto G into the 2020's.

I’m sure this sentiment has been stated but IMO this is a lose/lose for ND.

Iowa St is good enough to beat us but we “should” win. And they don’t have the national reputation that would allow us to lose respectably.

I think one of the main reasons I’ll watch this is that I went to high school with the seventh best QB in Iowa State history. Dude nearly lead them to a victory over Oklahoma back in 89. Lol.

I think that has more to do with the improvements in the pass game.

Book is playing better and the emergence of Lenzy has helped tremendously.

Losing Kraemer and Hainsey, in conjunction with Banks' health all season has made it extremely difficult to generate a quality run game, especially when there just isn't much to work with at RB, between a low ceiling of talent and injuries.

I do think Quinn deserves a year where he can actually prove that his OL is developing without being impeded by multiple injuries to key starters. It's hard for an OL to improve if guys are playing hurt and losing starters. No continuity is no bueno.

Lance has been on sideline throughout season right?

Yes, he has. Seems to always be closely involved. Honestly, I wouldn't put It past anything for him to be the name for OC. Guy has grit, and It would save Reese If things went south.

Lance is actually the person he chooses the running back personal. Basically he picks which RB is on the field. He has done this all year.

SP+ gives us a 58% chance to win, and predicts a 3.6 MOV:

And FEI gives us a 63% chance to win, and predicts a 6.6 MOV. It also ranks us in the top-10 nationally right now.

That's a little depressing. OSU and LSU by more over their playoff opponents. Even IU has a better chance to beat Tenn lol.

SP+ is higher on the Cyclones and lower on the Irish than FEI:

How embarrassing. A state that has one of the Top 5 breweries in the world outed for drinking that $hit by the pallet.

Seriously, who drinks this stuff after you get out of college?

There’s a story behind it. Pete Sampson posted it from The Athletic yesterday
