That doesn’t make sense considering it’s at Purdue. Or is this a Big10 contractual thing?

NBC is in the BiG contract. Some of their games are Peacock only.

Hold up, the same Joey Tanona from ND's roster a few years back?

Yes sir.

Crazy, I thought his accident was so bad he was lucky to be living a normal life let alone playing again

ND just seemed timid to clear him full time.

Honestly, I’ve been there with ND. I feel that.

Purdue game is slated for 2 PM EST on Peacock:

Remember the "0 and 5!" chant from 2007. I want to beat these turds by 1000 every year until the end of times.

Honestly, I do not. It's probably age.

They just lost at home in double OT to Wake Forest and will now have to fly out to Los Angeles to take on UCLA's Fighting Chesneys before having to come back home for an ass whipping to Notre Dame. They're going to suffer plenty

What kind of kickoff time is 2 PM?

Peacockian?

It’s a night game by Purdue’s standards.

I watch the last 3 minutes on Youtube every time before the game just to remind myself how badly I want to humiliate them. It's one of the few grudges I've held for this long. No idea why it stuck with me so badly.

What kind of kickoff time is 2 PM?

I said the same thing. If you're going to do such a funky kickoff time, make it 1:30 so that we can flip over during halftime of the noon kicks.

Went to the game @PU in '24. It was hotter than balls. Hope it's cooler this time.

Went to a Ball State game there last year. Was also hot AF. Wasn't too big of an issue until the alcohol started kicking in hard due to sweating out all the water.

At least that was my excuse.

I'll test that theory this time around as well.

Any chance you could commandeer the big drum?

Opens as ND -27.5 O/U 56.5

Implies 42-14 is the expectation. Sounds about right but I could also see ND getting 56 on their own tbh. Purdue is a 1 dimensional passing team. Good luck against this defense.

 

[Riddickulous]

Gave up 645 yards to UCLA yesterday, including 369 on the ground. If ND cannot have a good day running the ball, we have a huge problem.

 

[LifelongFan]

They have some nice offensive talent. Doesn't look like Ijebol did much last night but he ran hard against Wake. Browne is a good quarterback. But their defense is terrible and this needs to be a get right game for the offense.

Purdue will be the first soft P4 team we play so far. Wisconsin and MSU might not end up being great or even really good teams, but they're not soft teams and they're coached by guys who instill physicality into their teams. Those teams are a grind to play. Purdue is not like that.

Wisconsin and Sparty are great for building calluses. They're making us better without threatening a loss.

We should be able to cruise this week, but I still want the team to practice in pads!!!
