Marcus Freeman WIns George Munger Coach of the Year Award


Well deserved. Way to go, Coach.

Now let's beat PSU tomorrow!

Interesting read on NIL and revenue sharing

It is amazing how the talent is shifting now that the SEC teams can no longer hoard talent via bag drops.

Brian Kelly's statements about not being able to win a NC at ND, and how LSU gives him that opportunity is almost poetic justice.


You just had to tempt fate in baiting yet another BK fight!

:D

But, given that BK is mega rich, some acerbic hour is ok. I kinda is funny how this has boomeranged on him and the entire SEC.

Again, I wish BK success. But the SEC can suck it.

Once upon a time it was about getting a car, a few 1k$, some rimes. Not going to class. Well, for a few dollahs more, like $100k+...they'll go to class.

Ah the beauty of incentive and merit driven capitalism! Don't you just love it?

Today's Orange Bowl press conference

Franklin is a dbag for sure but the question posed, I don't really blame him for saying what he said. I think most conference coaches echo something similar to this. Its what he has to say when it pertains to ND and not being in a conference. No big deal, not reading anything into it.

Bottom line... ND needs to play well and win the game. If they lose tomorrow night, the talking heads and conferences will once again be loud mouthing that ND should be in a conference because someone else got left out, etc.
Coaches dont want ND's schedule. The B1G coaches found out this year that cross country trips dont end up well. I know at 1 point B1G teams were 3-11 out west. Im not sure what their records the next week but I know NFL teams struggle the next week if they travel to opposite coast. Plus having to play option team every year regardless of record is a chore.
ND traveled to California, Texas, Georgia, NY twice. Conference coaches would hate that type of schedule.

I have nothing against his opinion. He may even be right for all i know. It's just such a d-bag move to do it at an orange Bowl press conference sitting right next to the HFC of an independent.

It's crazy to think not all credits transferred in from Duke

That is true, however, we are discussing credits not transferred from Duke to ND. I'm curious as to what classes those were. I highly doubt Duke has basket weaving classes for credit toward graduation. I also understand there is a limit of the number of credits that can be transferred in.
Maybe he switched majors, and some of the courses he took at Duke don't apply to his new major at ND.
