if the injury could get worse, NFL folks won’t want him to play

If his performance could suffer, NFL folks won’t want him to play

If he’s just gonna be in pain, well I’ll guess we will see him plenty
Wouldn't NFL folks be fine seeing him play if it's just a pain/performance thing?

I think the implication was his agent won't want him to play if it could cause a mediocre performance. Scouts are watching and looking to ding people from 5th overall to 9th.
Which can be a huge chunk of cash he loses out on. If he wasn't projected top 5-10, I think he would go.

If Carter plays, you run right the fuck at him. His strength is chasing down plays from the weakside and that won't be affected by his shoulder. But shedding blocks absolutely would. Pull a guard at him, send a TE at him, make him unplayable.

I went to ND vs Purdue and Pedophile State vs Purdue. We were by far the better team against Purdue of the two. Stop Warren, and they are screwed. They do have nice running backs, but I'd take ours any day, every day, and twice on Sunday. If it's less than a 14 point win I'll be disappointed

Today is the day, you are the team.

So much of sports is about the ride for me as a fan. Some of my favorite seasons of Notre Dame Football have ended in disappointment. 1989. 1992. 1993. 2006. 2012. 2018. 2024 might be the best ride of them all and I don't see it ending tonight.

This team has grit. Character. Leadership. They have good coaches pushing them through. They played the first ever on campus playoff game against an upstart instate opponent and took it to them in front of the world. They went into SEC country and knocked off the SEC Champions who have been competing for national championships for the last eight years (amid a national tragedy that happened in New Orleans the night before they were supposed to play). Now they face a formidable opponent who they have played 19 times. They have tied once, won 9 times and lost 9 times. The stakes are higher than history now.

They're the best of us. Riley. Howard. Jack. Xavier. Pat Fucking Coogan. They live a dream daily that most of us could only do just that. Dream. I would have settled for Rudy. I didn't need to be Tim Brown or Rocket or Zorich or Bryant Young. Rudy would do. Give me a helmet. Let me dress so I can run out of the tunnel. I don't need a championship. Just let me run out one time in full uniform and live that dream. Marcus Freeman said it. He wasn't going to let Notre Dame pass by twice in one lifetime. Most don't get one shot, let alone a second. He's making the most of it and then some. His NFL dream ended prematurely. Suddenly he's here, in this moment, ready to make dreams come true for so many. On the doorstep of ending 36 years of longing in the first season where you have to win more games to make in happen.

They are the best of us. Today is the day. They are the team. Stay buckled up. There's still more ride left.

Go Irish. Beat Penn State.
This entire post needs to be on a plaque somewhere on campus. Well said my friend!☘️

I'd take norovirus over food poisoning as I think most could play through the virus with meds and iv.

With food poisoning, I couldn't be more than 10 feet away from a toilet or waste basket, sometimes at the same fucking time. I lost 10lbs in a day and a half.
And you look amazing!!!!

Probably won't be off work in time for the first half of the game. Don't know if I want to tape it or try to watch it while I'm operating my crane!

I feel bad for the players that will be wearing white pants and have an oh shit moment during a play.
