Oct 27 | Navy

I don't know where ND stays in LA but 15 minutes from LAX to the Coliseum is... ambitious.

I do not know anything about LA, but having a police escort everywhere you go will certainly help cut down travel times.

 

[Irishize]

Aside from the annual trip out west for USC/Stanford, when does Notre Dame "travel across multiple time zones?" The Navy game setup is pretty unusual, and I agree this November is overdoing the travel. But it's not the norm.
Most of our road games are against ACC teams (all in the East) or bus rides in the Big Ten. I'm not sure how a charter flight to North Carolina is so different than a bus ride to Lansing.
In the last five years, we've been to Texas twice. That's farther, yes, but still Central time zone. The only time we played on Mountain time was Arizona State in 2014. Again, aside from the last game in California (which, being Thanksgiving week and the last game of the year, is a little different than a midseason out-and-back).

I was speaking of this season’s schedule. Logistically, it’s nuts.

The team is all 18-22 year olds, they should be able to stay up all night and still play a game

Thank You!!!
If these pampered kids with first class travel and hotel arrangements including some of the best doctors in the world can’t hack it for a few hours, then that’s pathetic.

Their 18-22 year old counterparts in the Marines are currently deployed all over the world and barely getting any sleep while working night and day to accomplish the mission. It’s patheric that people are even complaining that the players have to travel across the nation to play a game.

First off, I am not really sure what 'the troops' has to do with this, but ok. It has nothing to do with the hotels or the few hours of the game. It's the fact that hardly other college football team puts in this sort of travel over the course of the season, let alone a few month span. Then you add in the fact that they gave up a home game to play a neutral site game in a baseball stadium, yeah. It's just asinine scheduling.

They're not Marines. That's such a dumb argument.

The only dumb thing here is you. The analogy makes perfect sense. Hell, you are probably the reason there are so many soft kids today.

Of course sleep deprivation affects performance. This is common knowledge and one the U.S. military is well aware of. How much extra travel and the loss of sleep affects a college football team is probably tough to tell. But, we are talking about a game where teams look for every edge they can get, from S&C programs, to nutrition, film analysis, etc... Notre Dame has probably 50 people working in the football program to gain every edge possible.

Sagarin has ND -44.5 against the Middies.

His various rating have ND ranging from -25 to -44.5.

Sagarin doesn't factor in sleep deprivation, injuries, nor having to play school.

hey, now, Navy does play school. save that stuff for when we play every other P5

No, the analogy doesn’t make any sense. The two have nothing to do with each other.

Honestly book should have a field day picking a part Navy

Navy also has to travel an additional 500 miles for this game than ND does. The University of Florida by comparison leaves the confines of the Confederacy about once every 20 years.

The comment was directed to fools who equate a college sporting event with daily life and death struggles with IEDs and other lethal weapons.

For the record 20-25% of USNA midshipmen are commissioned each year as USMC 2nd Lieutenants. They grasp the differences between 3rd and long on a gridiron and a street patrol in Kandahar.

didn't read that far into it. just thought you were talking about Navy not playing school like we do, based on the two lines above it when you were talking about the line.

SHOULD be his biggest game by far. hope he continues to improve on the long ball.

ND opened at -22 dipped to -21.5 then back to -22.

I'm going lay down a fatty on ND to cover. Should easily win by 4 scores if our team isn't trash.

 

[BobbyMac]

If the IP I log in from on Monday is a Denny's in Chula Vista, the Irish didn't cover. At least I'll have 24hr food deliveries in my new <strike>dumpster</strike> studio apartment.

-22 is a lot more attractive than Sagarin's -44.5

How do you equate being a soldier on duty to kids playing a football game? If you're talking strictly sleep deprivation, I'm still not sure it's a fair comparison. Too many variables.

After these years of watching Kelly, don't be surprised if he tries to work on improving some running plays that have lacked in prior games. Also, against Navy and the way they block for the triple-option, BK will probably want to keep the defense off the field as much as possible.

How quickly we forget BSU, Vandy and Pitt. lol

If we were still running that Wimbush offense with this OL I would not be picking ND to cover lol....
