General team info

I said back at the end of 2014 that 2017 was my target year for a NC. That was until last year when it became obvious that ND would be able to outscore anyone in the country with a team that has two top tier QB's that were going to get even better as they gained experience. Injury cannot derail what the Irish will do in '16, the NFL draft could not derail what ND will do next year because the schedule is lining up with the right teams at the right times - all have new QB's after losing longterm starters... 2016 is now the year.

More than anything you have to look at the schedule and project how the opposition is going to play this season. It's a guessing game, but some seasons are better than others. I thought 2015 could have been the year everything came together. The schedule was favorable and depth was good (Shame we didn't get to break Zaire in more in 2014) but once again injuries became a big issue. 10-2 in the regular season was still pretty good despite the injuries. I'm not sure 2016 is the year though, you may have been right about 2017. We're breaking in a lot of new receivers and lost some linemen (Despite having plenty of talent at both positions, we need to see how they fill in). Defensively we lost some pretty big players, namely Jaylon. I think the schedule is still favorable, and things could work out if we actually stay healthy for once, but that all remains to be seen.

What am I missing that everyone is picking Michigan as a Top 5 team preseason?? They have not done much, don't have a QB, and somehow all the major publications are picking them to be top 5

Fair enough. I am pretty sure a group of toddlers would put up a bigger fight

Did you miss Harbaugh's freshman 11-2 campaign? The stat everyone seems to be ignoring is that they should have lost to Minnesota and Indiana as well. He has corrected that mistake in hiring Don Brown from BC.

MN is my B1G team due to proximity. Was legitimately sad watching the end of that game. They lost in a manner only the Gophers(or Michigan vs MSU) could.

Exactly, such a pathetic schedule. Its not they are even trying to schedule good teams that just happen to be out of favor right now. Haha, Hawaii, Colorado, and UCF. I guess UCF was decent at one point but Colorado, terrible.

Win the B1G...with 1 loss...and you are in the playoff. Pretty simple.

One of my favorite employees, who has a daughter going to Bama this fall, is aunt to one of our DBs. She texted me this pic and said its waiting on me when I return from the beach next week. I see 5 autographs on the front. Excited to find out who all signed it!! Can anyone make any of the signatures out?

That also could be #14, which would make sense, as he said the person who gave it to him was the mother of someone in the secondary and #14 is Shawn Crawford.

man too bad wasnt a leather ball of some sort. those sigs are gonna fade fast on that rubber.

i took that into consideration however i blew it up and turned the image...its 44 and the big letter is a B or D

 

[Irish Insanity]

That could be about any number ending in a 4. You're basically signing in a runner ball with herpes. It's not gonna be smooth

I think it's Kizer. Isn't he 14 too? Her nephew is good buds with him I believe.

Her nephew is Coleman and he is 24 so .....

Are we sure the autographs aren't 'Bama players?
