I wonder if they were told to not even ask about the Book rumors lol

 

[Pops Freshenmeyer]

If you just go by our numbers since Book came in I bet we're a lot higher on those offensive lists.

46.3 points per game with Book.

EDIT: It looks like that would be good for 6th in the country.

"Ian Book will be the starting quarterback on Saturday."

 

[BabyIrish]

Leave it to Tim Prister to ask about Book lol

I missed that part. How did he ask the question??

 

[BabyIrish]

I missed that part. How did he ask the question??

It was his last question, out of a million (geez), and he got a big ole grin on his face and asked "Any reason to believe you'll have a different starting quarterback on Saturday?"

I feel like this is the first time we've ever seen a true "Brian Kelly offense" in that BK came here heralded as an offensive whiz but I feel like our defense in his tenure has more consistently been good than our offense. Our offense put up some points in 2014 and then faltered (it was one dimensional with EG in there, no running really to speak of), 2015 was inconsistent, let's not speak of 2016, and last year it put up points in stretches but was completely one dimensional.

The last three weeks we have been given a glimpse of what CBK can put together with Book and Juice in.

 

[Irish Insanity]

None of this is possible without Rees. He kept us afloat as a player, now he's helping steer us to the promise land.

I have two tickets if someone wants them. Sextion 3, row 57, seats 24/25. Face value. PM me if you are interested.

 

[Whiskeyjack]

FEI projects a 40 point Irish victory with a 99% chance of at least winning outright.

 

[zelezo vlk]

Oh victory is guaranteed? Looks like we can take the week off, go to Rome and whatnot..

This is concerning: He's trending downward on completion %

whats with the weird start time again?

 

[IrishLion]

There is no official reasoning, but the home games that aren't night games are scheduled for 2:30pm, likely as a concession to the donors because of the three 7:30pm kickoffs at home this year.

In exchange for the extra late game(s), the older crowd gets to get home a little earlier after the other games, or at least gets to Chicago for their post-game steak dinner at a reasonable hour.

The above sounds tongue-in-cheek, but it is legitimate lol.

Hey I'm happy with it. Gramps is getting up there and was starting to worry me a little bit last year driving back after the Navy game.

Swarbrick et al. are trying to avoid this:

It's true, if a 2:30 game wraps at 5:30-6 and it takes you 2 hours to get back to Chicago that puts you in at 8. With time change, 9 PM. If you want to grab dinner after the game, it gets you in around 10-10:30 PM... that's way better than midnightish if you try to go to Rocco's after the game.

It'd be 7pm with the time change. So just in time to grind down those corns and Metamucil for a night cap.

Oh shit you're right you get an hour back. So wtf? I no longer support this 2:30 nonsense.

Does 2:30 up the viewership since it isn't competing against the 3:30pm SEC game of the week?

 

[zelezo vlk]

I prefer the 2:30 kickoff. Hate me

 

[RDU Irish]

I like it. But then again I am old. 3:30 buts up against dinner time.

 

[calvegas04]

Does ND not care about tradition? 3:30 for day games needs to come back

20-25 years ago, I remember the day games starting at like 1 or 1:30. It’s been gradually moving back later.

 

[ulukinatme]

Yeah, if it's not going to be a prime time game, I have no problem moving the game to 2:30 or even 1:30. The earlier the better, cause I typically have a 5 hour drive back home after the game. When the game ends at 7 or 7:30 that means with traffic I'm not getting home until 1 or 2am.
