January 1 | Oklahoma State | Fiesta Bowl

[Irishize]

I have been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
Being a lifetime Irish fan, I thought this would be a good distraction.

Oh man…so sorry to hear that. I pray you have the best Medical Oncologist and staff. If you haven’t done so already, be sure to get a germ-line BRCAm test. If you happen to have a positive mutation, there’s a targeted therapy that you qualify for that could be a Godsend. Best wishes and God bless you.

Well that’s coincidental

If Day and company had acknowledged Coombs was the problem right away when it was clear, we potentially would not have Freeman right now.

Good move for them, but they will need to keep Coombs on staff I would guess. Knowles is not known as a recruiter and will have few ties in region. With MFMF in town, along with UM potentially rising a bit and LF remaining at Cinci, Ohio will need locked down now more than ever.

I know Kerry loves OSU to the core, but it would be awesome to see him on the ND sidelines in some capacity. His energy and passion are infectious.

 

[ND87]

This is a really exciting opportunity for the offense. We'll see how much we've actually improved.

Are you TR?

So he’ll get to gameplan, scout & actually coach against his first opponent in his new program next season. I’m sure Day is cool with that as an added bonus.

Works both ways actually. Just he’ll have more talent at OSU.

Maybe, but Stroud and Olave are from California. Smith Njigba and Wilson are from Texas. Henderson is from Virginia. 5 of their current 17 2022 verbals are from Ohio.

Meyer took this program national and I don't think they're going back. The reach is there.

My guy......

Oklahoma State vs. Notre Dame Odds

Oklahoma State Odds	+2.5 (-110)
Notre Dame Odds	-2.5 (-110)
Over/Under	44.5 (-110 / -110)
Date	Jan. 1
Location	State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona

FYI - the line has stayed at -2.5 ND - so for the betting trend is OSU 43% / ND 57%......

Posted in their respective threads but I'll post it here too. Hamilton and Kyren have declared and will not play in this game.

Good luck to both of them and respect their decisions. KH has been missed and the D has performed quite well without him. Kyren will be missed but, the Irish have ample talent and speed in the RB position to not affect the running game too much - next man up!

Enjoying his three weeks off/of moving then

 

[NDPhilly]

Assume Day just wants him recruiting

 

[Huntr]

It's a shame.

 

[IrishCalvin]

I have five tickets available for this game. Mobile transfer, no fees. I bought them from the Fiesta Bowl site and then bought other tickets from an ND route. Please DM if you are interested.

Cheers!

And Gundy didn't care for him splitting his attention.

Next man in.

I think it's important that people realize that if these guys are doing that, it's almost assuredly at the blessing of the coaching staff and their teammates as well. I think they care about their guys and want them to make the right choices for themselves.

Do I wish they played? Hell yes. But it's their choice to make and neither of those two have shown to be anything but excellent leaders and teammates throughout their time here. If their teammates and coaches respect their decision, I will too.

That would change a lot for me, if that's the case. I'm primarily worried about the cultural implications of a healthy captain opting out of a major bowl, but if the decisions was only announced after seeking the blessing of the team and the staff, then that's fine.

How much will ND get for the Bowl payout?

4 million unless our independence doesn't count like a conf

If Jack has an Ebay account it could pay for the Gug update all by itself.

Heading to the game and thinking about making myself a shirt to wear (I own a customer apparel company so this is what we do). Figured since I am setting up and printing I would throw the design out there to see if anybody else is interested. If so, PM and we can either do Paypal or I can set up a link to take orders.

Can you make one of Burnt Ends Brian saying, "Geaux Irish?"

Damn…I thought our kids would be better than that.! I understand why they’re making this decision but I hate when players do this. It honestly feels like they’re quitting with one game to go IMO.

Maybe draftable players should just stop playing their final mandatory year of college.

Why take a chance?
