- We need to remain humble and fierce. [NT] - Hensou - 1:09am 8/24/26
  - We need to win our first 2 games. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 2:28am 8/24/26
- The stars are aligned (talent) and the schedule is not daunting. We're due. [NT] - oldirish - 7:47pm 8/23/26
- There are no roster holes and we have continuity at coordinators. - iairishcheeks - 12:21pm 8/23/26

    - Expect Porter to be available at some point. - iairishcheeks - 5:24pm 8/23/26
      - Unfortunately we may not be able to count on Porter - Rocketman84 - 4:46am 8/24/26
      - One of the podcasts, believe is was Locked On Irish, mentioned Porter may not play in '26 [NT] - Zellars94 - 9:54pm 8/23/26
        
        Marcus seemed much more optimistic, "a couple weeks". [NT] - iairishcheeks - 11:06pm 8/23/26
        
        Maybe one of the young guys step up too, Bettis / Fitzgerald / Burress [NT] - Zellars94 - 11:13pm 8/23/26

    - Yes, seems like since Yoon every kicker forgets how to do it once he dons this jersey or an injury [NT] - Rocketman84 - 2:43am 8/24/26
    - The special teams need to be special too. The value of kicking and punting - ndphysics - 3:00pm 8/23/26
      - I think the depth of this team will show up on the ST return teams. [NT] - iairishcheeks - 4:02pm 8/23/26
        
        Good point. Depth and speed kills [NT] - ndphysics - 7:14pm 8/23/26
  - And at QB, obviously. Been a long time. [NT] - faircatchcorby - 2:01pm 8/23/26
