Go Irish.

Didn't realize the ASU coach was the coach at Tulsa when they beat us.


BK is 2-1 against him (2010 Tulsa, 2011 Pitt, 2013 ASU), yet my ASU buddies SWEAR Graham is in Kelly's head, and is a superior coach. Obviously an eye roll is the only appropriate response to something so stupid....

FWIW, Rivals just put out an article about the offenses and how ASU is doing more with less. They field two 4-star athletes on offense, while ND has seven. ASU has a number of 2-star guys, including Strong and Kelly. Pretty impressive.

Impressive,yes. Superior coach, no.

Until Graham gets a call from Florida, Michigan, the Jets, etc. (all could be this year), he isn't in the same echelon.

*My face will melt when BK goes to the Jets, and ND calls Graham.......

LOL Strong is not a "2-star guy".... he was a top JUCO prospect that ASU signed AFTER he showed out in JUCO... the kind of prospect ND can't even go after. #5 WR, #22 overall per 247 who is basically the only service that does JUCO rankings well.

Not to mention ASU has the luxury of playing against Pac-12 defenses.

This game is right in the middle of my Notre Dame game day stress level. I'm not as breezily confident as if the Irish are playing Rice but I won't be a pacing, cursing basket case like I was against Stanford and FSU. I think the Irish gives ASU Hell.

I honestly had no idea. Just passing along what the article said.

Haha my wife asked why I'm not more nervous. It's not that I think we're going to win for sure it's I'm just not worried about it. ASU could very well beat us, it's at their place and they're a solid team. It's just that...despite what the world says I know we're the better team. We're better than ASU so for them to beat us would be an upset. If we execute at a high level we will win.

As a guy who lives on the west coast, I'm really sick of hearing how it will take ASU fucking up for ND to win.

I'm not a religious man, but I'm praying that we kick the hell out of them.

We should. We're better.

Yeah, I wasn't criticizing you, I was criticizing Rivals. That's pathetic commentary from a site that wants to be an industry leader in RECRUITING.

I'd be like saying "well, the Texans do more with less because JJ Watt was a zero-star prep player"... obviously doesn't make sense, because when he was being drafted he was a 1st rounder. Just like when Strong was "drafted" by ASU he was a top JUCO player.

When was ND's last big away game in the day time? Thx


2009 Michigan, aka the Tate Forcier show.

*Even more interesting, is that is the LAST road game they have played during the day! (all others 5pm kickoff or later)
