Raridon is absolutely jacked

Wagner still can barely gain an ounce. I stand by my prediction there is no way he leaves for the NFL after this season. He’s a Day 3 NFL prospect no matter how good he plays in college. Will be our benefit in the end.

If Eli never got injured he’d have been a first round pick. Sucks. Still moves good enough to be a mid round pick IMO

Maybe, but he would have still been behind Mayer to start. I really liked him coming in as a freshman. It's hard for most TEs to go 1st round anyway, but I think he could be a high draft pick still if he kills it this year. I think he has the athleticism and hands to have a breakout year, just gotta stay healthy (knocks on wood).

I heard just today that he’s starting to get NFL buzz.

Never heard anyone calling for Auburn

Same. Though, reading that weird little story, we have never played them? If that was the question, of the teams we have never played they are probably one of the more interesting ones.

I took the article as a poll for which team ND should play that they have never played before.

I didn’t get asked to participate in the survey.

Did you read the article though from the "very popular" news source?! It'll change your whole world view man.

Interesting we've never played Kentucky or Mississippi State either, and have only played Florida once, in the famous Sugar Bowl. This is what happens when teams refuse to travel. I'd def vote for a home-and-home with Florida before Auburn.

Notre Dame's history isn't all that long considering, but the history is certainly still full of memorable matchups.

Last time Florida crossed the Mason Dixson Line was in 1991 and they LOST to Syracuse. Hell, that was the last time they traveled outside of Florida for a non-conference game!

Technically the MD line separates the north and the south, so Utah is a mighty big stretch...lol

I know what the Mason Dixon line is.

Second part of the comment I replied to said that 1991 was the last time that they traveled outside of Florida for an out of conference game.

Understood, I wasn't trying to question your intelligence, good sir.

You are correct. How quick I forget that.

I dont think I've ever been more anxious about an upcoming season in my life as an ND fan

When I started as a youngin in 1988, it was an unstoppable feeling that a kid has who doesn't understand it wont last forever.

Then I went through the 90s as a young man with confidence every season, but it waned a little every year with Davies and Ty

Then... even with CW, I was old enough to see the cracks in the team even at the high points

And although BK restored some semblance of confidence, I never went into a season thinking... "We might be Awesome" even with all the talent sometimes, it just didnt feel like it was ever cohesive.

Now? Im freaking out because I think maybe this team could be amazingly good. The coaching is there, the depth is there, maybe we dont have a Rocket or a Shark or Tate at WR, but the team has a feeling to it.

It makes me feel really nervous to have optimism
