SIAP, has BK said who will start at safety yet? Seems like a weekly flip that's dependent upon Redfield's health/type of team we face. This has to be a Redfield game I'd imagine.

It has been so amazing this week. My first ND/USC game living outside California and the OC. I have been wearing my ND gear and I haven't seen a single Trojan fan. I haven't heard anyone say, "Hey Fight on bro!" or my personal favorite "Irish suck!" It has been such a joy to not have to put up with those f'ing idiots!

I got you covered. I've had ND gear on everyday since Saturday. Haven't heard a peep. Cannot wait till tomorrow night for the Bosco - Mater Dei game. Someone should finally break the silence there.

Well we have played 2 triple option teams so of course our passing D stats are going to be better and our rushing D stats be worse.

...and two of their games were against Sun Belt conference teams which they won by a combined score of 114-15.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Clay Helton said it blows him away the support the team got this week and to have legends come out today was great. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/USC?src=hash">#USC</a></p>— Ryan Abraham (@insidetroy) <a href="https://twitter.com/insidetroy/status/654708656823341057">October 15, 2015</a></blockquote>

So that's what they call support? When everybody's probation officer shows up at the same practice?

Haven't heard this discussed anywhere and would love to get people's opinion on the topic. Will the unseasonably cold weather hurt our recruiting chances?

I know Manti came during a snowstorm from Hawaii and still committed...but he is definitely an exception. We have a lot of recruits coming from warm climates. I'm sure they know it gets bitter cold during the winter in the Midwest. But it is only the middle of October. While most of us that live here are fine and know this happens, coming from a warm state they might not be prepared for this type of weather.

I would hope weather would not be a detriment when a recruit looks at the big picture...and having a sold out stadium until the very end in 30 degree weather will say a lot about the fan support. Just can't shake the feeling that some top recruits may be turned off because of how cold it is in October. Any thoughts?

If these kids want to play in the NFL then they better get used to playing in the cold.

I agree with this, but the devil's advocate says "I cannot control who drafts me, but I can make sure the next 4 years are in a warmer climate".

Then good luck to them. If a recruit doesn't go to a school just because it gets cold then I find that to be mentally soft

We may disagree on the weather, but I'm sure we can all agree that Marc Edwards was the GOAT.

...and when summer camp starts through sometime in October, guys down south sweat theri balz off and choke on humidity while the guys up north have it so much better.

If weather mattered, San Diego St would have won every national championship since the Ivy League was running college football.

I just lost respect for Hannah Storm. How could she send her kid to USC?

Okay guys I have two tickets available for the game. I'll sell them at face value. If you're interested PM me. First come first serve.

I wonder if their daughter bangs the whole football team like her mother did when she was in college.

Maybe I'm completely missing a joke or not.

Is there legit truth or even rumors, nonetheless, about this? Or just hatred towards Hannah?

Touche. But 9 out of the 12 teams last year that made the playoffs were cold weather teams. Cold weather separates the men from the boys

You've missed the entire point of my post. It wasn't to debate whether or not it is the right decision, it was to question whether we potentially lose some recruits because of the cold weather. That's what I want to get peoples thoughts on and discussion.

Friends of mine who lived in Lewis Hall (her dorm at ND) relayed the info. Take it for what it's worth.
