Why do we say he likes Michigan. You all know he went to Syracuse right?

Because he, Mike Tirico, has emphatically stated multiple times how much he loves Michigan.

I think Tirico will be GREAT. Whether he likes Michigan or not, he is and always has been a professional.

He even did a great job with the World Cup, I am VERY excited to hear him on an ND game

Same, I don't why they're addig a Michigan guy to the pregame show though.

Balancing Hines Ward with another former NFL player/voice?

Idk, Dhani Jones is a fantastic TV personality. He knows the business, and he knows the game of football. I'd be shocked if he's bad and/or looks like an ND hater/scUM homer at any point (aside from the usual and cheesy comments about the contradiction when he first starts covering games. "Hey, Dhani, you've got some experience with ND games, eh? wink wink nudge nudge Go Blue").

And I'd imagine his agent has some type of connection to NBC, but that's just an educated guess based on the situation.

I loved his travel show. Dude is charismatic as hell

Hope we're prepared mentally for this one.
Huge stage on a Sunday night opener in Austin. Can't wait for kickoff.

Weis down on the sideline with injury updates?

I think Aaron Taylor could call a game for us and be unbiased. Maybe Quinn could, not sure though. I think Bettis couldn't be unbiased. That said, I understand why they may not want an ND grad to call a game...but do they always have to pick our fuckin' rivals?!

He's young, but maybe one day Jac Collinsworth could do it. Obviously another alumnus, but would kind of be cool.

Doc Emrick with Brady Quinn on color is my dream team.

Willingham will be watching the game on TV from Brian Toals living room.

YES! LOL

That's ridiculous. They close the golf course on gameday and use it as a parking lot.

No way Willingham works in those conditions.

Hi, I'm Crusader. Now you have.

More will chime in. Too many Hoosier guys on this board. It's DNA level in Indiana.

UK and SC can go to Sonic and eat a bag of chilli cheese d!cks.

Duke.

as I have said, no one out here hates UK... they may hate on Cal or a recent team, but not the program as a rule... As I have said, I have never once met a sport fan that holds UK as THAT TEAM.

I see a lot of UK hate during the basketball season, specially the way they recruit and the funny business going on there

I think people hate John Calipari a lot more than they hate the University of Kentucky.

Not really. Most people that grew up in Indiana hate KY. Especially if you are an IU basketball fan..

Can we stop talking about bouncepass on the game thread on game week?

UK fans are pretty aggressive. That may not be much of a factor for those who live a thousand miles away, but still.

I'd be with you.

I think that I'd also pluck out my eyes midway through the third quarter.

This.

ND Fan Vancouver · Aug 31, 2016

My prediction is that Texas won't be much more effective at passing the ball than they were last year. With their QB's, I just don't see them torching us even with our FS situation being what it is. I do think their run game might be a bit better with their big backs but I don't think their OLine is any better than average. I do think their D will be better this year. They have decent size and talent on their line and their best two LB's are now soph's. But our OLine and great QB's will be too much. We win by 20.

I don't understand why everyone is bringing Indy into this consistently... Wasn't the discussion on the most NATIONALLY despised teams in each sport??

For CBB it's Duke by MILES... right?

So, how about this game vs Texas

I am feeling 35- 21 (Big Tex).

But I have had this (sinking) feeling every year since the Willingham era.
