ND's Talking Heads ... The good, bad & ugly

[Irishdrunk]

So are all these rips about me?? LOL.

We back to sharing information to anyone who asks via PM, leading to the same result as if it was shared on the message board directly but wasting everyone's time in the process?

Wouldn’t this all be so much easier if we set up a formal inquisition based on Pain of Death for deceit? Would anyone like to volunteer as Inquisitor? I nominate Reaper.

You have Jamie U criminally low.

Didn’t even mention Mike Frank or O’Malley

 

[Irish du Nord]

1) Prister
2) Sampson
3) Jamie U
4) O'Malley
5) Freeman
6) Loy
7) Singer
8) James
9) Hansen
10) Sinclair
11) Roberts
12) Frank
13) Horka
14) Flammang
15) Hyde
16) Pollard
17) Driskell
18) Davis
19) Guy who can't spell "Rees"
20) Guy who can't spell "Golson"
21) Guy who says "Norte Dame"
22) Guy who can't spell "Buchner"
23) Vince DeDario

Based on my pure enjoyment, my top 5 is:
1. O’Malley
2. Jamie U
3. Prister
4. Mike Frank
5. Hansen

Hansen’s SBT stuff wasn’t that enlightening, but it was always a fun read/listen. Irish Illustrated and ISD both have great podcasts, and I like to listen to Mike Frank’s opinions, even if he’s way more doom and gloom than I am. Jamie U has the best recruiting analysis, I rate his rankings better than any of the services’. O’Malley’s writing is always entertaining, as is Prister’s. Sampson is great but I always feel like he has too much of an attitude for me to enjoy it in the same way as the other too

My takeaway— it’s madness that there are 19 guys covering ND football at the nuts and bolts level. The only ones I really follow are the II guys.

I grew up on BGI when Lou, Prister & later Sampson were there. Todd Burlage is the longest tenured guy there but he doesn’t contribute much more than a article per issue. My favorite at BGI is Tyler Horka. He lands the plane better than the others & isn’t afraid to give his tru assessment on picking an ND game.

Prister & O’Malley are my overall favorites but I can’t rate one higher than the other b/c I think they complement each other really well. I also love that they continue their relationship w/ Sampson via podcast.

That gets me to Sampson/Fortuna. I enjoy their pod too. They also complement each other well in that Sampson focuses solely on the ND beat while Fortuna seems to have a more national viewpoint but w/ emphasis on ND

I’ve come to really enjoy ISD as well though it ranks 4th behind Irish Illustrated, The Shamrock & Inside ND Sports for me. Jamie is great & Mike is fine until there’s negative stuff happening in the program and he goes on a long barrage of sighs. Of all the talking heads he & Driskell are two of the worst at letting their fandom affect their reporting/opinions.

Heck No. You have been a great, non-emotional poster. I think you drive a lot of value here, Dale.

Brah, Ive never attacked you. Relax. Have a beer.

Old faithful no content crowd shows up here occasionally to get likes, but just roll with the punches. They’re probably fat anyway. The people you mentioned are all pretty great, though I admit, I missed the inside jokes on turtle as I’m too new.

I'm pessimistic by nature, but even I delete ISD's show as soon as I see it in my feed if I know it's just going to be an hour of Mike complaining. I'm just a message board poster, but I'd expect the owner of a major ND site to at least offer *something* more than griping.

Singer kicked me off rivals for years because I had Twitter content and actual first person info that he didn’t want me posting on their free site. He’s a jackass.

 

[ab2cmiller]

I knew my rankings wouldn't be popular here because everyone here loves ISD and Jamie but I have a hard heard time listening to him and the intel isn't as good usually

As Shaun??? Really???

 

[Irish#1]

@Irishdrunk is a fraud.

I asked for Driskell's handle via PM, and he totally ignored the request.

That can only mean that he IS Driskell, and is intentionally misdirecting everyone.

Same here

 

[Irish#1]

We should get secret decoder rings!

You'll get one once you hit 1,000 posts.

Yup, Shaun is the man. Malik eh
I know Shaun exagerates alot but I enjoy what he has to say

Just watched yesterday's Freeman presser again
Driskell zooming in at the end reminded me, I wonder if he'll ever get vaccinated or just forgo ND media access the rest of his life.

Watching it....Freeman is so cool....

 

[ACamp1900]

Nah, just pointing out how weird and attention-seeking it is when someone is posts "PM me if u want 2 know”

What a bunch of bs this post is!!!!


Anyway, if anyone wants an amazing salsa verde recipe pm me,… it’s too good to share here…

I enjoy Hansen's articles, his chats, and insight on ND football. I wish he would do more on recruiting, but he focuses more on the football program.

Don't know if it's been mentioned in here or not but Zora Stephenson will be working the sidelines.

[Old Man Mike]

She was a basketball player and announcer--- seems an odd choice for sideline football, but maybe she's really smart and a hard worker at pre-game prep. Hope she has interesting things to say.

 

[ACamp1900]

It’ll be very strange not having Michelle Tafoya on the sidelines generally speaking,….

 

[du Lac]

I miss old school Alex Flanagan.

Well it's not like any of these ladies are ex football players though I'd love to see Alex F in nothing but shoulder pads.

She's being groomed as the future Miss Everything at NBC.

Having a less than A tier announce team is disrespectful. Tirico is one of the best in the business, *the* best, IMO. Going from him to Collinsworth is a joke.
