Morning Open Thread: Notre Dame vs Navy
Let's count the ways this doesn't make sense.
- 9am EST kickoff. By the time the West Coast rolls out of bed, the game will be over.
- No five star tailbacks in Ireland.
- Jetlag and other distraction slows preparation for Week 2.
- Seriously Navy, you're an American service academy playing a game in Ireland?
- The jerseys.
Edit: The jerseys are not being worn today, but they still suck.

RR could be 0-2 against, toledo after tonight.

the ND QB looks pretty good for a true frosh
September 1st, 2012 at 10:02 AM ^
He's a redshirt and supposedly the ideal QB for Kelly's offense. Most ND fans have been waiting for Kelly to just go with Golson and dump Rees since Golson arrived last fall.

Sometimes, and this is only from personal experience, Irish people get real drunk and end up not doing what they had planned on doing.
September 1st, 2012 at 9:32 AM ^
You don't have to be Irish, to make that statement true!

reminds me of one the recent olympic stadiums or something
September 1st, 2012 at 9:32 AM ^
The Notre Dame helmets look better. They were starting to look like Werther's Candies the past few seasons

Great play by Teo to blow that up.

I was on espn checking today's schedule and saw this tweet on the side bar:

Touchdown! #Irish are back!
September 1st, 2012 at 9:36 AM ^
The Irish, back since 1989!
September 1st, 2012 at 9:36 AM ^
Yep, Mark's a smart guy.
September 1st, 2012 at 9:39 AM ^
September 1st, 2012 at 9:38 AM ^
He gone.
September 1st, 2012 at 9:39 AM ^
This is looking like a 49-0 type game.

Navy's passing game has actually looked good.
September 1st, 2012 at 9:46 AM ^
September 1st, 2012 at 9:44 AM ^
Notre Dame's secondary looks suspect. Navy should not be getting guys that open on you.

I'm watching Gameday on the U-
it's the 1st week and they are recycling old pieces from last year (re: the Ole Miss Tailgate). WTF.
Also, as a white guy in 'Murica trying to imagine being a black guy in 'Murica, everything about Ole Miss makes me very unconfortable.
September 1st, 2012 at 10:05 AM ^
of 1960. It's like saying everything about Germany makes you uncomfortable because of Germany's dark past.
We cannot forget the past, but we shouldn't permit to color the present either.

September 1st, 2012 at 10:35 AM ^
except for the rebel flag flying everywhere.
September 1st, 2012 at 9:52 AM ^
This is an extreme mismatch.
September 1st, 2012 at 9:52 AM ^
Can we get more Feherty?
September 1st, 2012 at 9:54 AM ^
September 1st, 2012 at 9:57 AM ^
I hear they are getting new pants that more closely match the helmets.
September 1st, 2012 at 9:55 AM ^
that injury doesn't look good.
September 1st, 2012 at 9:59 AM ^

That was out of bounds by a good foot. Maybe we need at least one announcer who has decent vision.
And of course they run the same play for a TD.

Am I the only one that is incredibly disappointed in ESPN for continuing to use that country song for Gameday? Besides the fact that country music does absolutely nothing for me, they have used the same song for years now. I miss the days when there was a new chorus every week depending on the big game.

Hoke's voice is gone...what was he doing last night?
September 1st, 2012 at 10:08 AM ^
I don't know, but if you watch the Countdown to Kickoff from yesterday, he sounded a bit under the weather to me.
September 1st, 2012 at 10:07 AM ^
Hoke sounds sick.
