- I wish more Notre Dame fans on here would realize what a special quarterback we have in Ian [NT] - DonMiller - 1:24pm 5/18/20
  - Dunno about special, but the shit he takes is unwarranted. I like him. Tough motha - Frank L - 6:48pm 5/18/20

      - Book has a significantly stronger arm than Rees ever did - ndunabomber - 9:22am 5/18/20
        I agree, but my real point is that Book is not Drew Brees. [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 9:43am 5/18/20
