WATCH PARTY: 2023-24 Bowl Thread

[Classic Irish]

Pffft. With a million tutors

Please tell me what year you graduated from ND. Again, don’t make things up to support whatever silly agenda you have.

Lanning getting on the HT show of his biggest rivals national showcase is so so good. Have to respect the hustle.

Okay...I've taught athletes at ND. I know that they go to class. I was talking about college athletes in general, not at ND. The issue is whether college athletes, at any given school, have to attend class, not whether being an athlete helps them get admitted.

There is also the issue of rigor. UM has b.s. majors they funnel their unqualified athletes into in order to keep them eligible. Vanderbilt does something similar, but not to quite the same extent. ND has some majors that are easier than others, but you aren't getting funnelled into a "general studies" degree to make sure you stay eligible.

Brandyn Hillman would like to have a word with some of yall...

Didn’t Michigan get Josiah Stewart from coastal Carolina - as a non graduate junior. To put that silliness to bed. McCall the QB couldn’t even go sec with that transcript.

They’ve done a lot right with the team build and credit due , but don't pretend there are tangible restrictions.

Michigan is our biggest recruiting rival. Idc who they let in, they market themselves as a combination of elite academics and athletics, are an historically premier program, and are right up the road. We need them to lose.

 

[stpeteirish]

Funny that there’s more posts here about academics than the game.

They need to lose Harbaugh. Cut the head off the snake. They will promote the crying guy, and I’m not sure how that will work out.

We've recruited comparably or better than them for awhile, based on rankings. It's about scouting/development/coaching I think.

Yet we keep beating them for recruits

 

[KPENN]

12.3 yards per rush and they’re only up 7

Washington’s a second half team. 🤞 hopefully

Michigan coming out early. No adjustments needed. UW needs to capitalize and crush the Cheaters.

Once upon a time (late 60’s) three quarters of the athletes at ND were in fact in “general studies “

They have SEC dudes at every position on defense. They have developed athletic game wreckers, we have scrappy Jack Kiser types.

Prediction #2 If UW doesn't score on the opening drive, UM will run the ball the rest of the game

 

[BoredIrish]

F Michigan
F Harbaugh
F JJ "Last Qb in the green room" McCarthy

Let's go Huskies

We're assignment sound. They blow up assignments.

That’s a good way to describe it. We have those guys like Sneed, but never seem to see them reach their final form.

outside of Donovan Edwards, I don’t know who won Michigan appears to be “SEC” athletic or whatever. They are extremely disciplined, tough, and well coached. Watch 2021 and 2022, Georgia and then watch this team.

Agree. I don't know what you guys are talking about. This team reminds me of 2020 ND way more than 2022 UGA.

 

[Circa]

WoW! UW played D

 

[greyhammer90]

Washington scores here and things are going to start feeling real tight.

 

[Circa]

Michigan looking frustrated.

 

[ColinKSU]

I don’t think Washington has had one good run all night.

 

[irishff1014]

If I am a GM I don’t draft either QB from this game.

 

[NDPhilly]

Man Michigan can fucking tackle

 

[Lberry]

Pennix is the weirdest good QB I've ever seen.
