ND discusses stopping Drob
ND coaches and players discuss containing Denard:
"If your eyes are wrong for a split second," Notre Dame safety Harrison Smith said, "you're going to give one up."

Goombas discuss stopping Mario

wondered how the word "goomba" was spelled.

Re: Denard . . . "Irish safeties coach Chuck Martin joked that the game-planning this week began with prayers at the Grotto."
Awesome.

I played on a rec league softball team with Coach Martin a few years back when he was head coach of GVSU. He is a pretty solid guy. That is totally his sense of humor, although I'm sure he was only half kidding. Not many coordinators can stop a playmaker like #16 with pure scheme, they have to hope for a little good fortune as well. Let's hope our Protestant prayers made it up there first. Go Blue Fergodsakes!

Haven't heard anything about it.
September 9th, 2011 at 9:32 PM ^
at the game. It's safe to say it's a maize out.
September 9th, 2011 at 10:37 PM ^
I didn't know that. That should look pretty awesome.

Best quote: "It's kind of like playing Navy, ... do the best you can and let the chips fall where they may."
2010: Navy 35, Notre Dame 17.
Let's hope it's just like playing Navy.

I hope the ND Nation board doesn't see that quote. Actually hope that ND-UM rivalry never ends. My first week on campus featured a party at Beta house front yard, where several ND fans were present. They are great people and the rivalry is great for college football.
September 9th, 2011 at 11:17 PM ^
gone. Stupid fucking kids.
September 10th, 2011 at 3:09 AM ^
Beta is back. But from what I've heard they are a dry house at the moment.
September 9th, 2011 at 11:24 PM ^
Sorry, but I respectfully disagree. They are generally some of the worst fans out there, if not the worst.
September 9th, 2011 at 11:25 PM ^
...respectfully disagree with you. I'll take "polite and knowledgeable with a side of undeserved entitlement" over Sparty's "WOOO BRAH F*CK SCUM" or Ohio State's... well, general Ohio-ness.
September 9th, 2011 at 11:32 PM ^
Trust me, I'm in no way defending either of those couchburners.
I lived in EL the past three years and finally escaped. Unlike many Sparty fans, my escape was neither from the Ingham County Jail nor the Potter Park Zoo.
September 10th, 2011 at 1:06 AM ^
I'm with you on this one. Yeah, they can be annoying when the rivalry comes up, but so can all fans. I'd rather deal w/ ND fans than most other fanbases.
September 10th, 2011 at 2:53 AM ^
Michigan fans: "polite and knowledgeable with a side of undeserved entitlement."
Except for the "undeserved," of course.
/arrogance
For the last few years, Domer friends and I have exchanged condolences for horrible seasons. I'm hoping to resume offering smug and insincere "condolences" soon, though I admit to some nervousness about this game.
September 10th, 2011 at 1:31 AM ^
My younger brother and stepdad are ND fans and I harassed the hell outta them last week. They conceeded and they said ND would win. Obviously they are more conservative fans, and I always am more conservative in predictions as they are, but I am encouraged as to their lack of confidence.
September 10th, 2011 at 7:51 AM ^
As someone who currently resides in Ohio I can safely say that the ND fan base is far, far, FAR from the worst. Actually I'd put them near the top as being the group closest to us in their overall makeup, attitude, education, etc.
If Sparty is little brother the Domers are our twin brother......

I will be hosting a Cover It Live on how to swim in a volcano next Tuesday.
September 9th, 2011 at 10:26 PM ^
People in just about any other tank (except the Challenger) discuss how to stop the M-1....
September 9th, 2011 at 10:30 PM ^
Once upon a time, they had Rocket Ismail. Now, Michigan has someone who is just as dangerous and touches the ball every play on offense. Gotta love it...
September 10th, 2011 at 12:21 AM ^
were truly breathtaking. Howeva,Desmond served them up some of their own medicine also.
Lou knew he had something with Rocket...
September 10th, 2011 at 12:15 AM ^
scorching their d has them restless I'm sure tonight.
I hope Denard plays more in the shotgun tommorow night...last year 502 total yard performance was simply amazing.
September 10th, 2011 at 7:20 AM ^
I'm thinking Borges will take what ND gives him, want to see a full game of good play calling.
September 10th, 2011 at 8:26 AM ^
I think Denard will play an outstanding game, but the major difference from last year's game will be our rejuvenated defense holding ND below 20 points.
