One difference between HH and Rudolph regarding the OL is that it seems that Rudolph values size over experience and 'mauling' over technique. As a result, you are seeing some of the younger OL who are raw but have greater frames move into the two deep.  Note that Michael Carmody who is listed around 290 has dropped in the depth chart despite starting at least one game at OT in the past.

Ignore the above. Sounded good and I think true to some extent but the official Irish depth chart for Navy has Kristofic in two deep for RG and the lighter Coogan ahead of the heavier Schrauth at LG. Also Wagner at 288 is the back-up at RT. Also saw that Carmody had hand surgery which probably caused him to be moved out of the RT rotation for now.

This is the latest depth chart I could find. It's probably really close to reality for offense but the defense might be different with a Navy specific package. Not sure if ND will release an 'official' depth chart this week.

MOST of the 2-deep is young!  A lot of Frosh and Sophomores are gonna play this year.  I think it speaks to recruiting.  Definitely hitting on some kids.  And a lot of strong reviews so far on this '23 class at DL, OL, and even S.  Hopefully we'll be in a position (depending on the score) where we will find out who they don't plan on redshirting.

Sorry about this repost. They achived the live and made it private this should work now.

Has there been anything new on Nolan Zeigler? The last I heard was he had stepped away for a bit for personal reasons but is back with the team. 

Hopefully he's back and good to go. Kids a hell of an athlete.

How’s Ireland peeps, for those of you who have already made the voyage over? Is it everything I imagine it to be? Anybody played any golf over there?

One of my friends is over there and loves it. I’m jealous 

[NDFBL19 91]

Same. Couldn’t imagine taking it in, playing some golf, watching the first game of the year.

Yes, those who have made the trek across the pond please share some pictures and experiences with us!

Flew into Dublin once on the way home from Iraq. We were allowed one Guinness. It was glorious. Contemplated going AWOL. Before I could put a plan together we were back on the plane headed home so it worked out. 

[NDFBL19 91]

That’s great Captain. Glad it all worked out. Appreciate your service. I’m sure many Guinness are being consumed this week by the visitors. Lol.

I never made it to Dublin, but I landed in Shannon on my way to Kuwait years ago. I still have no idea why they allowed us to do it, but everyone on the flight shut the bar down in the terminal, where we literally drank every drop of beer they had left. 😂 It was such a wonderful time being able to get drunk once more before being gone for months where we couldn’t. 😜 Guinness in Ireland is so delicious, and way better than in the states too!! I also get wanting to stay, because I loved all of my trips to Europe. Spain was my absolute favorite, followed closely by Germany. Thanks for your service as well fellow veteran!
