First Time, Long Time
A friend informed me about this website during the 2012 season. Since then I have been a loyal reader of the articles and football chat room. The open topic board is too extreme for me. About ten years in, I created an account and it took another couple of years to finally make this post.
About me. I am an ND grad who lived in Keenan back when Bryant Young, Junior Bryant, Jeff Burris, and Bobby Taylor walked the halls. I was also able to witness up close Coach Holtz and his love for Diet Coke as I was a student manager my freshman and sophomore years. Even though I have been living in Spain for 20 of the last 25 years, I still try to watch all the games online although it can be quite difficult to watch the night ones.
I believe that the team is learning a lot about itself this year. A lot of young guys are starting to step up and this should lead us to greatest in the future both for this season and the next one. I really believe that the defense never filled the void that Xavier Watts left. He solved a lot of problems that never got a chance to develop.
This forum is enjoyable even with the unbalanced posts from the likes of KoreaSam and DonMiller. I hope to add to its overall wealth.

Terrific - welcome
Wow, you had some dudes in your days at Keenan!
This is one of the many special things about ND - the pride that was felt in each dorm for the resident football players.
If you’ve been here a long time you no doubt have already figured this out, but I’ll offer one piece advice. Avoid this place like the plague on Gameday. The immediate, unhinged overreactions to every play are simply bonkers.
Welcome, those sound like some late game watches.
Where abouts are you in Spain, if still there?

It was worth it to watch the Sugar Bowl and Orange Bowl last year. I have to admit that I bailed at halftime of the NC game.
Welcome. Anyone who thinks the Open is too extreme is a wise man. Go Irish.
