Since the beginning

I'm an alum from the late 80's - early 90's, so I was blessed to see the Holtz era first hand, in person, and some dear friends were Joe Moore-coached offensive linemen from that era. Those guys were the best source of info when it came to understanding how the team was doing, along with what the future was looking like.

Later on, I used to get my info from Thomas Schlidt (really nice guy, too), back when he had his own page on the Observer's site, but when he left ND, that page closed down.

Back when Blue and Gold was its own site, I used to go there all the time, until it got bought out by Rivals.

Then I came upon this place, and have been here for a long time.

This is a magical place, where people from all ends of the spectrum are united behind their love of ND sports. Yes, we'll butt heads here on a regular basis, but in real life, would be happy to buy each other a beer.

The information we get here is as good as anything you'll find on a pay site, as long as you don't mind the information not being instantly hot off the presses, etc. I'm fine with that, since knowing something about some premium recruiting info a bit later isn't going to change my life at all.

Sure, you'll have some people ignorant of how a program is properly run, and you'll have some folks who won't admit that someone in the program is a cancer to the team, etc. Heck, I'll freely admit that I had put too much faith in Brian Kelly to get us to the absolute pinnacle, and agree with another poster (with whom I've also butted heads with) that he was right when he said that "he's gots to gooooooo!"

At the end of the day, we all bleed Blue and Gold, and want what's best for the University and the program.
