The Official Notre Dame Football Thread

[padman59]

It's hilarious because one of the guys there got all over me for not holding up the "standards of Notre Dame" when I called the BC girls "trolls" a few weeks ago..but then comes in that thread and excuses Neal's action as something that happens "all the time".

Put an FSU jersey on Neal and have it be against Notre Dame and that board would be exploding.

Exactly. It's funny how some people are quick to dismiss actions on the field as being "part of the game" when their team does it to someone else, but as soon as it happens to a player on their team, they're up in arms about it.

I'm considering joining it...that thread is already a major turnoff though.

It's not all bad and the recruiting section of the board is actually pretty decent to follow. It's not a place I post at a lot but it's worth a visit every once and a while. I don't know of really any other Notre Dame boards anyways.

Irishenvy is legit.

Whenever I see a story on Rivals I want more info on I head over there. Most of the guys are mad creepers on facebook with the recruits so it is good info.

Its way too strict to post there. Plus it is filled with the ND Fans we hate. The guys saying we go 11-1 or 12-0 in the preseason. Nobody really thinks logically either. It's either Dayne Crist is taking us to a BCS Bowl or Crist needs to be benched before we lose every game.

They all hate USC a lot though. Which gives them all a pass.

All these guys no debating what the word "stomp" actually means is hilarious.

Bob Diaco :obama:

I hope he doesn't believe some of the things he said in his interview. Otherwise, Kelly needs to seriously consider looking for another defensive coordinator.

[padman59]

What did he say? Feeling a little lazy right now...

Essentially that he went into the game with one gameplan, and if it didn't work, there were no adjustments he could make in-game.

So apparently the reason it didn't appear that ND made adjustments to stop Navy's offense is because there were no effective adjustments to be made according to Diaco.

Terrible news about that video kid that died yesterday.

[Boucher]

It's crazy what he said before practise as well

Read about that last night. Sad. What is the deal with 51 MPH winds? That's unreal.

Massive cold front moving through here. Highs were in the upper 70's last week and tonight the low is going to be around 25. I was walking to the gym last night and the winds had to be in excess of 30-40 MPH.

[Gonzo]

The winds are absolutely ridiculous here.

[padman59]

What a tragic event. I can't imagine what his parents are going through right now.

My question is: don't they include permanent towers when they renovated the practice fields? I thought they used to have a few before the renovation.

[NAHSTE]

A bigger question is why they sent the kid up there with 50 MPH winds.

I think that's the obvious question, and I'm sure a lot of people are eager to hear how this was possible given the conditions when the investigation concludes. However, with ND's resources, it doesn't make sense that they don't have towers installed in the first place.

They do, but not in each end of the field. Only on the fifty yard lines I believe. I guess it got denied because it didn't match the rest of the campus. Idk for sure.

Thanks, but I hope that the aesthetics of building multiple towers isn't a reason. It makes sense to me to build multiple towers to view multiple angles for a practice field.

What's with the Tailback groan bombing JayRock?

Did I miss something?
