    Burtch tore meniscus, Suspensions

    That's what was hard to comprehend. Maybe the reporter had a mishap in understanding their conversation? It seemed to come out of nowhere. Or we have 5 players suspended. Who knows? Hopefully not a starting linebacker.

    If you think we can get at least 10 wins in the regular season...

    Status of Tommy as the starter

    The last thing I believe any of us should be right now is conclusive or worried. We haven't even played a snap of real football. Although, being pessimstic might do well for managing your expectations. The players will be running 110% for the new coach when they step into the stadium...

    Most Excited For This Season

    Just happy football is back. This season will have ups and downs just like the rest. I really hope HCMR puts the right guys in the right places. I think this could be a special season due to our lack of a preseason identity. I think we go 10-2. But, I believe another team will have some...

    Preseason USA Today Coaches Poll Released

    Very possible. Notre Dame plays Texas (meh), USC, Clemson, GT and a few others. I don't see them finishing at 11th when it's all said and done. They beat a mediocre LSU team and ran an offense for the first time (unscouted) and now they think that a pourous defense will suddenly be world...

    Preseason USA Today Coaches Poll Released

    And we, as an unexamined product, are right where we need to be. I like being off of the radar. When noone is looking at you, you sneak right by them

    Preseason USA Today Coaches Poll Released

    I don't see how Notre Dame is ranked so high and Arkansas is ranked so low. Both return a plethora of talent but at the end of the year last year, I think Arky would have waxed them. Actually, I think Arky surprises the SEC traditionals. Maybe an Ole Miss-type run with a better coach and QB

    As of the preseason it looks like we will be ranked higher than 11 of 12 opponents...

    I have no idea what to expect with the regime change. I just hope it's a better product than what Pelini put on the field, of which, couldn't sustain a season of excellence and deteriorated by the time his recruits were in full force. I think HCMR is the perfect guy for the job. I think we...

    OT: How many of you gave up watching the "news"?

    I find it to be. But I wouldn't let something like that bother me. My girlfriend is a teacher and listens to NPR every morning, probably just to break up the monotony of our horrible local music radio. Honestly, there's really nothing that's "unbiased" any more. I just find the whole...

    OT: How many of you gave up watching the "news"?

    Wow, that's depressing and probably true. I think we can see too many fascist elements in our society and our global community.

    OT: How many of you gave up watching the "news"?

    News on demand! We can search out our own truths now and filter our path to personal enlightenment. There's some good and bad qualities to this.

    OT: How many of you gave up watching the "news"?

    Sure there's good actions in this world but what's different about now and the past is information and the rate at which we yield it. So, I respectfully disagree with your stance but adhere to the fact that you could be correct.

    OT: How many of you gave up watching the "news"?

    Fear is the greatest motivator. I sell for a large manufacture and "fear" is always in my back pocket. Excellent post btw

    OT: How many of you gave up watching the "news"?

    I read a lot of message boards while I work as I have an affection for written discourse/argument. It's hardly tolerable anymore. We don't conversate - we force our opinions which we treat as "fact" down each other's throat - and we're becoming so much more verbally violent that it's...
