how about Navy in Honolulu? Or, , how about LSU in STL?

Don't understand the consternation with playing in an NFL stadium. Got to have a venue big enough, in a big city, in a recruit rich area. Yes, college games are great on campus, but I think the SS is meant to be a bit different, taking the "show" to places they might otherwise not get to.

Just heard a stat I was amazed by

ND had the number one offense in the COUNTRY after halftime last year. Pretty remarkable with a first year QB. Sanford and Denbrock you guys keep doing your thing

Anyone follow Notre Dame Football on twitter? Per the new rules about twitter from the NCAA that just kicked in:

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">That feeling when all of us Coaches discovered the RT function: <a href="https://t.co/vmowHtAFVd">pic.twitter.com/vmowHtAFVd</a></p>— Coach Mike Sanford (@CoachSanfordND) <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachSanfordND/status/760095735455084544">August 1, 2016</a></blockquote>
<script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>


Coach Sanford sent this after they just retweeted each of the current 2017 commits from when they originally tweeted their commitment

Sportsbook put ND's win total for the season at 9.

A healthy team should win 10+ but we'll see.

Shocked the line is so low.. Usually with ND homers, Vegas almost always has it one game higher than I think. I think this team is 10-2 easy, more likely 11-1 if healthy

I ran into a ND coach a couple of weeks ago, and without spilling too much, I will say that when I asked him about Devin Studstill he said, “LOVE him. He’s a Sunday player, no doubt.”

When I talked about how the injuries to the defense seemed to prevent them from playing any nickle and dime, he just laughed and said, "Man, had to stay in our base 80% of the time!" From our conversation it sounds like they will be able to match-up with the offense MUCH better this year. (LOVE that but might hate it too - BVG getting tricky/fancy/exotic has not been a good recipe in the past. I have 9 toes off the BVG bandwagon but my pinky toe is holding out hope.)

Another coach (not a Saturday on-the-field coach) said that of all the players, the biggest weight-room beast who gets after it is Shawn Crawford. He wasn’t disparaging any other players, he was just marveling at the kid’s work ethic. The other coach chimed in that he studies film like no other and was primed to play a huge role last year before his injury, which devastated the coaching staff because they know how special he is.

TIFWIW.

Thanks for sharing.

- Love Studstill, always have. Hopefully that comes to fruition.

- Though I'm not BVG's biggest fan, I sure he proves me wrong this year. I would love to be wrong about the guy, lol.

- If two of our best "new" players are in the secondary, then this defense could improve. Should be fun and stressful to watch.

Please let all of these things be true.

Let Studstill be the 2nd coming.

Let Crawford lock down his position(s) and provide a playmaker in the defensive secondary.

Let BVG be the victim of small sample size and bad injuries. It's best for BVG and ND if he has a season without catastrophic injuries across his roster. We should be able to tell if his scheme is worth the headache.

It'd be amazing to see everything gel and our defense be a statistical top 25. Time will tell.

Countdown timers for all the games, just a little over a month away
