If it's raining in South Bend like it is here in Ohio...we are in for a nasty muddy day. O-Line needs to screw in their 1" spikes.

It's all clear here. Partly cloudy and 65. Perfect football weather.

Rees has a "jersey"?

Well yeah they have #11 jerseys. Every year they pick 3-4 numbers to put on jerseys that they'll sell for the season. I guess Rees is one of them this year.

Man I hate Florida.

Lots of experts seem to like Sparty... Unreal how inconsistent this program can be from year to year... This is an absolute must win if they want to make a solid season of it...

 

[nd_fan]

Hopefully an easy win for us

 

[ACamp1900]

It would be nice to make a wet behind the ears QB look like it for once...

 

[IrishinTN]

I don't understand why all the experts think MSU is such a strong pick. I am obviously no expert but Sparty has more question marks than us and hasn't played the caliber of talent we have, either. And it's in South Bend. I don't see how you can't like our chances.

 

[ACamp1900]

I can't think of a team that went unbeaten one year only to be so lacking respect the next... Unreal

It's pretty much a coin flip to most people, and it's low risk/high reward to pick the unranked team. If MSU wins you look like a genius, if ND wins and you pick ND no one cares.

This is the problem with the first month of our schedule most years... All risk, almost no reward...

 

[mgriff]

We haven't looked BCS caliber in my opinion. I don't think that really translates into us losing to Sparty, but like someone pointed out, it's a coin flip. I have not been impressed thus far.

I agree.

But once the playoff system is implemented, we'll be glad our schedule was built accordingly.

The world of recruiting, where the hat a kid wears is reported as news:

“@AnnaHScout: Purdue commit & Irish MLB target Drue Tranquill sporting a backwards Notre Dame hat on the sidelines.”

 

[Emcee77]

Lol. So silly. Of course he's gonna wear his ND gear on our campus during his visit. That's the biz though, giving us that meaningless news.

 

[Irishman77]

Chris Brown 4 catches 180 yds today

 

[dublinirish]

I believe in REESUS

She could say the grass is pink and I would believe her and think it's the greatest thing ever written.

#NotreDame defensive end Sheldon Day is dressed to play and going through warm-ups, although his ankle is heavily taped.

 

[Booslum31]

That's because most fans are getting their sports fix from ESPN. Plus, we didn't exactly crush people last year.

Watching the first team defensive line, no sign of Sheldon Day. Kona Schwenke working with Nix and Tuitt.

Gotta run guys. I do have a game to go to myself in a while. Beat them Sparties for T Town. I got the DVR set so I will catch the Irish late tonight. I expect a win Notre Dame.

Interesting to see Irish offense take 7-on-7 reps with Rees, Daniels, Jones, Niklas and ... wait for it ... Tarean Folston.



More interesting warmups notes. The full defense comes out with Scwenke starting on the D-line with Collinsworth and Shumate at safety.

Matthias Farley also working with No. 2 #NotreDame defense at goal-line. Had heard he was possibly battling shoulder injury recently.

[Irish Fam]

Anybody putting any money on this game? Line has moved to 4.5

Pretty intriguing to me

 

[FearTheBeard]

The video of them planting that flag gets my blood boiling. Beat sparty!

 

[Irishman77]
