I will be pissed if ND does not score at least 60.

I mean, that's a high point total man... you'd be mad if it ends 49-7??

Better hope the freshman Williams can get some good production because our RB keep dropping

mehhhh, depends on if we are playing most 2nd/ 3rd stingers in the second half. if so then that I'll take that score.
TBH, I want ND to start out strong, stay healthy, get some quality reps for the new folks
and some me some semblance of hope that the ND/UGA game will actually be competitive.

Means they are starting Sheriron Jones formerly of Tennessee

So can we count this as a SEC game?

No, that was yesterday.

Does Tennessee even count as an SEC game currently?

Updated FEI ratings are out. ND's currently ranked 11th at .52. Notable opponents are:
Georgia - 3rd - .91(!)
Michigan - 9th - .58
Stanford - 37th - .20
USC - 41st - .14

I would say Michigan at #9 is notable too.

How does that happen when the lower ranked team just beat the turds out of the higher?

Not saying it's skewed, but it makes zero sense.

 

[Whiskeyjack]

Added; I'm really failing to multi-task well this morning.

With the way Michigan, Stanford and USC have been playing, 11-1 is looking pretty good right now. But that's assuming Book settles down, Chip Long gets the offense sorted, and we get some of our injured skill players back in the time for Michigan.

All of these advanced models start out with pre-season projections. As the season progresses, that data gets phased out in favor of the actual results. USC and Stanford have only played two games, so there's still a lot of pre-season projection data in there.

And it's not far-fetched to think that Stanford may still end up having a better season than USC. Costello is coming back, while Daniels isn't.

OK then, if you say so. I would think a 25 point win would be enough to justify a jump over the other team, but maybe I'm wrong. The logic I'm not even going to try to wrap my head around.

At this point, you can add ND to the list of teams that have been less than impressive up to this point. USC did have an impressive win over Stanford. ND, on the other hand, has failed to show it can equal last year's results. With Georgia looming ahead in a week and a half, we are in need of some drastic improvement and fast.

It's not a poll where teams are adjusted up and down each week based on who beat whom. FEI measures efficiency based on the outcome of each individual drive. Like most advanced metrics, it can identify strengths and weaknesses that the standard polls are oblivious too, but it isn't perfect, especially this early in the season.

USC may very well end up better than Stanford this season. It's hard to say right now in Week 2. FEI thinks they're pretty comparable in quality.

I don't think we can make that assumption after 1 game. Especially when the first 3 games of the season last year were won by 1 possession or less. Let's see what they look like this week. I don't think we will beat Georgia but I don't think it's an impossible task. I wish it were later in the season, though.

Are there any other bars open early on gameday around or decently close to campus other than The Backer? I like Mitch’s but I’m pretty sure they open at 11ish on gameday.

This is probably the saddest back and forth I've ever seen with an opposing beat writer.

Dude seems like he needs to be put on suicide watch.

I must be missing something. Seemed like a general back and forth with a beat writer who understands the team he covers.

How early is early? Brothers and O'Rourke's should both be open before noon

I guess.

Usually when you read those, the other side is usually at least a little upbeat.

With the Bob Davies news, nearly getting handled by a FCS squad, and ND coming up... it read pretty glum to me.

Tailgating doesn't tickle your fancy after the L'ville game my friend?!

I would bet Legends is open early on gamedays. Could be wrong. If not, Arrow is probably right, head just south of Legends on N Eddy St, I'd put my money on Brothers Bar & Grill being open early on gameday.

Yeah, maybe I expect it to be glum. I mean it's not a team with a renewed identity. It seems like a program at/or near rock bottom. They peaked a few years ago and all those expectations have been dying a slow death.

It's truly "Dave's team vs Goliath" but there ain't no miracle coming, no pebble to be found for the sling. Goliath's first game gave him blue balls, now he's ready to lay some pipe.
