F/F Atkinson takes over the #2 spot in the backfield and sees as many carries as Jonas did pre injury?

Fiction. We have an abundance of riches at RB. He will play, but not get that many carries.

F/F Jamoris Slaughter is drafted in the second round or better.

Fiction. While I personally love his playing style, I think he will go 3rd round at the earliest.

F/F: At least 75% of ND fans will watch the home games with the TV on mute and listen to the radio play by play.

I'll say Fact, but only because of the great things I've been hearing about Neal being more talented than Golden Tate. I still think Golden's 2009 season should've put him more in the Heisman discussion than it did. Other contenders, I guess, would be Kiel and Golsen (hopefully) and Atkinson if he can develop into the premier back he looked like in the spring game. By saying fact I'm saying it definitely could happen more than I think it will for sure. Too many variables to predict I think.

F/F: The nighttime crowd noise at Notre Dame Stadium will force Michigan to false start at least once during the game this year.

Fact....He's dislike for ND is way too obvious.

F/F Within the first minute of the first NBC broadcast this year, you'll be wishing Tom Hammond wasn't doing the play by play.

fiction, the best chance would be against Navy because they are a run heavy offense in which our defense will be dominate against the run. However, being the first game of the year overseas. I dont see the defense shutting them out.

F/F: The defense will be ranked in the top 15 in Points Allowed.

Fact. The ball will still be put on the ground a few times but we will be fortunate enough to actually recover some fumbles this year. Also... 1 interception in 126 attempts = Golson...

F/F: Brian Kelly wins NCAA coach of the year this year.

100% fact.

F/F: Theo Riddick disappoints again.

Fiction. I believe hes out to prove himself and really does some special things...not many but special.

Well I don't know if this board will melt down, but I know any objects around me will suffer.

F/F: We finish the year in the top 25


Fact. We just do. Because of Golson.


Golson will start in Dublin

F/F: Everett Golson gets compared to Denard Robinson within the first ten minutes of the Navy broadcast.

Fiction: if anything he will be compared to Tony Rice.

F/F: The defense will have 3+ TD's, in some way shape or form
