I LOVE this. BK taking a stand until told otherwise. How it should be. No more frozen five bullshit.

It has absolutely nothing to do with BK "taking a stand until told otherwise." If these same guys had gotten caught cheating on the exam, we'd be right back in the Frozen Five boat while the process played out. The academic dishonesty hearing process is completely different from a behavioral discipline type situation. It has absolutely nothing to do with Brain Kelly.

Office of Community Standards should get reports and start their work today.

Football office has great communication with them.

 

[ACamp1900]

Look at the notes section... we return less starters than 2007...

not sure what i should do with that, laugh or cry.

 

[wizards8507]

BK will adjust things based on how players handle "The Moment"

Not sure if the question was geared toward QB or Freshmen playing

I think the question was in reference to opening up on the road, which ND usually tries not to do.

 

[IrishLion]

Jay Hayes set back a bit from injury, will be available.

Trumbetti has used the time to put himself in a great position.

Daelin will play, but needs to settle in and get lined up properly. They don't need him to take over; he'll make plays if he settles in. Simple as that.

 

[NDdomer2]

seems general concern over freshman being able to handle the moment early.

 

[IrishLion]

Sebastian is assignment-correct, as is Tranquill.

That's the most important thing right now, which is more important than their sometimes-limited range.

Younger players have better range, and will play significant roles, but the "rock-solid" veterans will play.

 

[Whiskeyjack]

Football offense has great communication with them.

Should I be worried about Coney and White then?

 

[IrishLion]

Very impressed with Folston's camp.

Elusiveness has been impressive. Will have a big impact on the offense (duh).

He's patient and gives the OL time to work, especially on combo blocks. Makes the OL look good.

this is the kinda shit that's gonna lose us games, imo

this. I'm still surprised by them playing though...

 

[NDdomer2]

that might have been the most uncomfortable ive heard BK answering a question

 

[IrishLion]

Now talking about ND's drug policy blah blah blah

"We are on top of it on a day-to-day basis... Not just punitive, but educational."

"I think we've done a great job with our policy."

My addition: that means when they catch guys, they make it clear that they shouldn't test positive again haha.

 

[wizards8507]

Who is this a-hole asking questions?

 

[ACamp1900]

Of course. This wasn't academic in nature so there's no "Frozen Five" element in play.

I understand that for the get go, but am still surprised, maybe it's just my NDPTSD, but yeah...

 

[IrishLion]

Drug testing is random and "appropriate."

Getting message to the rest of the team: Not just football, but entire athletic program. Your first time is an "educational process." You enter into a program where you can be tested randomly after your first offense.

BK really dishing on the process haha.

Post Traumatic Schmidt Disorder= triggered

 

[IrishLion]

BK didn't know who's gun it was at the time of his comments.

He now does, shutting down the asshole reporter and his dumbass questions.

 

[Irish#1]

Interesting things:

Kraemer is backup at RT.

Trumbetti is starting. Dealin and Jay Hayes are in an OR situation as the backup.

Cage and Jones in an OR situation, as well.

Jamir Jones backing up Onwualu. No sign of Barajas or Bilal on the two-deep.

Wooly, our mans time to shine!

 

[tussin]

Never let this jackass ask questions again.

"As a father of three..." Puke.

 

[IrishLion]

Isaac Rochell the best DL right now. Hardest to handle of the DL.

Jarron Jones is a handful when he's "on"

Special packages necessary to be effective? Everything becomes a specialty on 3rd down in college football these days

 

[IrishLion]

Daelin Hayes singled out as being able to get to the QB.

Rochell is a 3-down guy.

Half-dozen guys can play on third down, specifically

 

[Whiskeyjack]

this is the kinda shit that's gonna lose us games, imo

You'd rather start a more athletic freshman who has no idea where he's supposed to line up?

 

[IrishLion]

Swoopes is a big, physical, athletic guy with a strong arm... but Texas wants to move him around and change launch-points.

Swoopes handles pressure well (LOL BK being diplomatic)

 

[wizards8507]

BK's patience is wearing thin.

 

[IrishLion]

Reason for not suspending players:

Max was charged for the gun. Changed the whole situation.

The other four guys got hit with possession of Marijuana. BK did not consider suspending them, he's never suspended a player for a first offense in terms of weed.

 

[tussin]

OH MY GOD LET IT GO.

 

[IrishLion]

That reporter needs to gtfo

 

[arrowryan]

BK's patience is wearing thin.

What questions are they asking?

 

[IrishLion]

In terms of QB decision/play: More focused on responding what Texas wants to do.

They will use the QB's and how they "feel" to counter Texas and what Texas wants to do. Will base things on how Texas is playing them.
