Even though Kalis and Cole each got smoked once on Saturday and Miller got bull rushed once, I am pretty optimistic tha the O line will be decent by the end of the year. They looked coherent and they looked like they knew what they were doing. Mistakes like the ones I mentioned will happen from time to time, it's just that last year they were compounding these by totally ignoring defenders, being in the wrong place, just playing bad. I think they have done a great job of addressing and working on those issues. They still can improve and will have to and Notre Dame will be a great place to start.

I went back and read the 2006 pregame thread over at Irish Envy, and a good number of Domers were expressing real concern over the game even though we really hadn't done anything yet to justify that. That concern turned out to be valid.
This year? They all expect to blow us out. Kinda weird.

That being said, I would gladly trade an early season road loss to the domers if it meant two road victories vs. Sparty and OSU later in the year. I literally live by the "To Hell with ND" quote...

"I would gladly trade an early season road loss to the domers if it meant two road victories vs. Sparty and OSU later in the year" I don't think that that is how it works. ;)

Rice didn't have that great athletes? They went 10-4 playing FBS competition. AppSt went 4-8 against FCS.
Listen I am jacked for this game as much as you guys are, but lets get some reality doses in here.

I guess my counter point is that both opponents were horrible so for whatever you might say about Golson and the ND offense, you could make the same argument against Gardner and the Michigan O.

Allow me to retort:
September 1st, 2014 at 10:58 AM ^
(Rice had 145 yards of total offense in that game and gave up 533).
No, I'm not suggesting App State is good or even better.
I've lived in Houston my entire life and off and on followed all of the major and minor programs around here.
Rice was, and should have been, a bowling pin.
Rice has had two ten win seasons since 1949 (their third and only other ten win season). The last time Rice had 10 wins, with this same coach, they followed it up with a two win season.
This was a rebuilding year for... Rice.
Normally at this point, I'd say something positive about Rice, but their stadium left a bad taste in my mouth when I went there a million years back.
All that being said, my only point is that we didn't really learn much about either team (outside of what anyone can learn from a team dominating a team they should) from the opening games.

Right, and I said neither will Gardner. I'm not being defensive I'm just saying pump the brakes a bit on both sides.

Having 300 pounders on top of him will make him feel right at home heeeyo amirite?

Tom Hammond has always given me the willies when I watch his broadcasts. Football, Olympics, you name it. Every time he stops talking and turns to look at his broadcast partner, he just stares at them in the strangest way and invades their body space.
Totally unnerving.

They are all over it because someone leaked not just Kate Upton but a whole lot of other nudes as well. The pics were apparently on a cloud and they hacked into it. It was an invasion of privacy.

My understanding is that they were automatically uploaded by their Apple cloud app. I won't pay iPrices so can't ay if that is actually an Apple "feature."

Reason #10000 if I had a kid and was going to give him/her a smartphone, i would put a nail through the camera lens first.

“Call me crazy, but sending pics into a cloud doesn't really scream "privacy" to me.”
…nor does taking pictures with your clothes off.

I agree. Save the pics to the phone memory or a card. Don't let it out of your possession or control.
September 1st, 2014 at 4:10 PM ^
There have been almost as many posts about Kate Upton nude pics on this thread as there have been Funchess posts.
Sounds about right.

I think UM probably has a better roster top to bottom, but if ND gets the win it will be because they will have been able to take advantage of any issues Michigan hasn't been able to iron out in week 2. A win for Michigan will be huge because it should propel them forward with confidence, experience and development and I would fully expect to be undefeated going into East Lansing.

Does anyone know a good place to go tailgate or a good bar in South Bend that will be M friendly. My buddy and I are going with hope of finding tickets but will probably end up at a bar.
