Incoming Player Transfers (2023-24)
IrishGuy replied to NYGoldenDomer's topic in Notre Dame Football
Looks to me like he could be the first punter/LB combo since the leather helmet days. -
I am not claiming to have any real sources.....but I can say that someone who I find incredibly accurate, honest, and "in-the-know" told me right after it happened that there was an incident that was a big enough deal that it warranted his firing. He said "they decided that it was in the best interested of the school and coach Freeman to have what amounts to a mutual separation with the Stucky and other parties that were involved" and that "everyone agreed to keep it on the DL in order to reduce impact on future opportunities". I asked for the inside scoop (and guessed around a bit) and got only enough info to make a pretty confident guess that Stucky and the players that left were all involved. ...again, no real sources and just making a guess based on limited information from a very trustworthy person.

Steven A is why I have avoided ESPN as much as possible since they started firing people and giving him raises. His sole purpose in life is to be argumentative and yell his "opinion" at people. Simply put, anything out of his mouth is garbage and/or usually just being said for ratings.

Updated: Riley Leonard May be Out for Winter Conditioning
IrishGuy replied to tneun89's topic in Notre Dame Football
I wonder if this might be that surgery that Bryce Young made popular....the tightrope procedure? Just speculating, but given the nature of his injury that came to mind (also, would be more than ready by Spring). -
Given how high everyone was on Rees by year's end, I wonder if DeBoer might make an effort to keep him. Personally, I don't care where he ends up as long as he is not calling plays at ND next year 🙂 Edit: Did LSU replace Denbrock?

National Championship: #1 Michigan vs #2 Washington (1/8/2024)
IrishGuy replied to NYGoldenDomer's topic in College Sports
As I told my scUM worshipping friend. JH was doing so well that he was on the hotseat, had the university cut his pay, had not beaten tOSU (or many decent teams at all), and most "fans" (my friend included) were hoping he would be fired. Then suddenly, he started winning....almost as if he suddenly figured out the exact plays the other team was calling.....coincidentally right around the time there is evidence they started cheating.- 51 replies

National Championship: #1 Michigan vs #2 Washington (1/8/2024)
IrishGuy replied to NYGoldenDomer's topic in College Sports
According to the spineless NCAA Pres, Michigan won this one fair and square.....apparently announcing that they cheated for 2.5 years means that they didn't cheat this year???- 51 replies

That is a bit unfair. Brady owes his career to Belichick as much as Belichick owes his to Brady. That would be like putting an asterisk next to every coach that had a great / HoF QB (Dungy, Walsh, Reid, Tomlin, Johnson etc.) or only considering coaches great when they won without a great / HoF QB. Simple truth, Brady would not have been Brady if he was not drafted by the Patriots and was not able to play in Belichick's system and Belichick likely wouldn't have half a dozed rings if he hadn't drafted Brady and/or if he didn't run the team the way he did.

Crazy couple of days....Saban out, Carroll out, Belichick out. Talk about the end of an era.... Saban is arguably the best coach in the history of the sport (pre portal and NIL), Carroll was one of the greats (especially at SC) and Belichick (the only guy even in the discussion of who is better than Saban).

I am just hoping the NCAA grows a pair and scUM has to vacate all their wins since 2020.- 51 replies

I hate to say this, but the Bama vs scUM game was the defacto title game. I will pull for UW but scUM is going to take them behind the woodshed.- 51 replies

Sun Bowl Discussion: #16 Notre Dame vs #19 Oregon State
IrishGuy replied to NYGoldenDomer's topic in Notre Dame Football
In about 4 hours, our favorite college team will kick off for the last time in about 9 months. I know there are a bunch of folks that don't care about the game (due to all of the opt outs and xfers) and there are some that will look at this game as a sign of where the team is headed. Though it is always nice to end on a winning note, and getting win #10 feels like 100 games better than ending with 9 for some odd reason....try not to forget to enjoy the game regardless of the outcome. Thank you all for you contributions to the DD in 2023 and for making it the best site for ND fans to get their fix! -
JH might not have much of an option "if" the NCAA hits them with the sanctions that inckude multiple level 1 violations. Though I doubt the NCAA will throw the book at scUM, it is a possibility. Kelly to scUM would be great. He'd quickly have UM winning 9 or 10 games a year with a loss to tO$U and some random team he should have beat. Actually, it might be worse than that considering the Big 10 is adding a couple teams with something resembling a pulse.

You could say he is solid....or maybe explosive. When he is goofing around, he is corny. Heard he is so fast he leaves skid marks. ....I am such a child 🙂

I know we all focus a lot on players (recruits and portal) but having quality coaching is just as important as ability of players. With Denbrock likely here for at least a few years and the rumors of Golden being extended.....this might actually be the start of something very special the likes of which many of you have not seen at ND (some of us old farts have.....)

I definitely wouldn't kick my Miami (Ohio) wife outta bed for eating crackers.
-
I love ND and I am a Midwest guy through and through.....but let's not get crazy and start comparing Northern Indiana to Southern California.

College Football Transfer Portal Discussion
IrishGuy replied to NYGoldenDomer's topic in College Sports
Malachi Nelson is in the portal. To say I am shocked is an understatement. -
Sun Bowl Discussion: #16 Notre Dame vs #19 Oregon State
IrishGuy replied to NYGoldenDomer's topic in Notre Dame Football
I am not soft, I just have a very low tolerance for people. Some say he has a good idea every once in a while, but unfortunately you have to deal with mounds of garbage to hear it....just not worth it to me. If my grocery store had great prices, but all the cashiers were asshats and poked me in the eyes every time I went to check out, I'd quit going to that store. -
That's true. I forgot about those leagues. I was just hung up on the NFL part. I am not mad at the guy (hard to be with hair that awesome) I was just thinking out loud 🙂
-
If getting a letter from a doctor is the hold up, that is not a very large hurdle. Hell, I found a licensed doctor that was willing to sign off I needed a weed card due to a mental issue (that I do not have) because I wanted a medical weed card.
-
Again, I am not talking about his draft status. The question I had is related to the fact he is choosing to skip what might be has last game....ever. His draft status is not changing one way or the other by playing (or not).
-
I guess what I am saying here is that this is less about tape (I don't think he can do anything to improve his position) it is about enjoying what might be your last snaps of football.

Wait....are you saying ESPN is wrong?!?!?! Impossible 🙂
