When you're the #2 team in the country and you just beat #1, you should expect a boost in recruiting. My question: Who should we look to flip or get in touch with?

My list:

- Landon Tengwall
- Donovan Edwards
- Thomas Fidone
- Kelvin Gilliam, Jr
- Deuce Harmon
- Derrick Davis
- Braelon Allen

NBC Sports California will rerun the game tonight at 6 p.m. PST. If you missed recording it, or had to jump chop it up by jumping channels, you might want to check your local NBCS HD. It's a two-hour time slot.

Here's the full schedule with the release of the ACC games today. It's a doozy.

With the ND semester ending Friday, what will the team’s schedule look like? Obviously there are NCAA rules on practice time, so have we gotten any information on what the days will look like? Should be easier to enforce a bubble, and hopefully what seems like an already close-knit team can build that brotherhood even more.

Also, I’m assuming no fans at all for the Syracuse game? No band too?

We got a chance to speak with Brey yesterday. They're rolling with whatever punches will be and have been dealt.

Around 6:30 p.m. ET, linebackers Drew White and Shayne Simon, DE Ade Ogundeji and OT Liam Eichenberg will be made available.

First call on First Team this morning was a Notre Dame "fan" complaining about our punt returning .....

Had to be someone on this board .... biggest win since 1993 and they call a talk show to complain about punt returning ....

memorable day. " All Gave Some, Some Gave All ". A special shout out to my fellow Vietnam Marines. Semper Fi !

See story further down this thread.

The Atlantic Coast Conference also announced its preseason awards on Tuesday morning. Notre Dame’s Sam Brunelle landed on the Blue-Ribbon Panel’s Preseason All-ACC list, while freshman Maddy Westbeld was a consensus pick for the ACC Newcomer Watch List among five players for the coaches and four for the Blue Ribbon panel.

Brunelle was a 2020 ACC All-Freshman Team selection. She started in all 31 games during the rebuilding 13-18 season and led all ACC freshmen in scoring with her 13.9 ppg. Over the last five games she averaged 18.6 ppg, on 45.2 percent shooting. Over the final 17 game, Brunelle connected on 45-of-118 (.381) beyond the arc. Her 58 made three-pointers ranked second all-time for a Notre Dame freshman behind Alicia Ratay’s 73.

Westbeld headlines a five-woman freshmen class with her McDonald's All-America honors and as the 2020 Gatorade Ohio Girls Basketball Player of the Year. As a senior, Westbeld led Fairmont High to a 25-3 record and a regional finals appearance in the OHSAA Girls Basketball State Championships. She led her team in scoring (18.0), rebounds (11.2), assists (3.6), steals (2.8) and blocks (2.3).

This past week, Notre Dame offered Florida running back Sedrick Irvin Jr., who has impressive ties to the NFL. Read about his him and his offer, here:

Plus, an update on how every former Notre Dame player in the NFL performed in week nine.

Story: https://notredame.rivals.com/news/i...er-v-quietly-having-stellar-season-for-texans

I figure it's a good week for a recruiting mailbag story. Post your recruiting questions for me and I'll dive into them for a story on Wednesday morning.

Four-star running back Audric Estime from New Jersey. He's committed to Michigan State, but the Irish may offer, and ND would look pretty good if that happens.

Notre Dame had two players test positive between Nov. 3 and Sunday, the team announced Monday night, and are in 10-day isolation. Two others were identified as close contacts and placed into 14-day quarantine. None of them were at Saturday's 47-40 win over Clemson. The team administered 258 tests in that span.

Outside of immediate family members of the participating student-athletes, there will be no spectators in attendance for this weekend’s (Nov. 13-14) series against Wisconsin.

Friday night’s game will be broadcast on NBCSN at 7 p.m. ET and Saturday’s game will be streamed online at NBCSports.com at 7 p.m. ET.

As the season progresses, the ability to host fans will be informed by the University’s health and safety guidelines along with the guidance of local health officials and the Big Ten Conference.

Just rewatched the game again. Clemson applies a lot of pressure via multiple blitz packages. It just seemed like they blitz like every 3rd Down.

During the Eagles vs Patriots Super Bowl in the early 2000s, I recalled that Philly blitz a lot. Charlie Weis countered with multiple screen packages. These screens led to multiple big plays.

Hopefully, when and if we do play Clemson again, Coach Rees can implement multiple screens to offset the pressure. Several times during the game, I thought a tunnel screen would have been EPIC.

Still stoke from our victory. Overall, Coach called a very good game. Coach Rees called a very balanced game that kept Clemson guessing and on their toes...

Go Irish, beat Eagles!!

I have heard a lot of discussion on this. I thought about it for a second, but I simply wouldn't have the guts to do it. Clemson was on its heels, and Kelly did say he had a two-pointer ready, but his instincts told him it wasn't the right time.

I don't think there is a right or wrong answer here, but I am curious on the percentage of who would have gone for it.

On December 12th, the rescheduled Wake Forest game takes place and the likelihood that the game is in Charlotte improves
as Wake will be closed down for the semester. December 19th, the ACC Title game is also in Charlotte meaning ND could be playing back to back weekends in the same stadium if all goes to plan. Would the team just stay in Carolina for the week and avoid making multiple trips in consecutive weeks?

"I have just returned from visiting the Marines at the front, and there is not a finer fighting organization in the world." - General Douglas MacArthur, US Army, outskirts of Seoul, 21 September 1950.

Happy birthday Marines, Ooh Rah Semper Fidelis

We have two companies of Marines running rampant all over the northern half of this island, and three Army regiments pinned down in the southwestern corner, doing nothing. What the hell is going on?
Gen. John W. Vessey Jr., USA, Chairman of the the Joint Chiefs of Staff
during the assault on Grenada, 1983

The safest place in Korea was right behind a platoon of Marines. Lord, how they could fight!
MGen. Frank E. Lowe, USA; Korea, 26 January 1952

Marines know how to use their bayonets. Army bayonets may as well be paper-weights.
Navy Times; November 1994

Why in hell can't the Army do it if the Marines can. They are the same kind of men; why can't they be like Marines.
Gen. John J. "Black Jack" Pershing, USA; 12 February 1918

Marines I see as two breeds, Rottweilers or Dobermans, because Marines come in two varieties, big and mean, or skinny and mean. They're aggressive on the attack and tenacious on defense. They've got really short hair and they always go for the throat.
RAdm. "Jay" R. Stark, USN; 10 November 1995

Come on, you sons of bitches! Do you want to live forever?
GySgt. Daniel J. "Dan" Daly, USMC
near Lucy-`le-Bocage as he led the 5th Marines' attack into Belleau Wood, 6 June 1918

Running straight line full speed and will begin practice with team. Will have to see how it goes.

Not sure if discussed on here yet. But sure looks like Etienne was going to Pass. To his own team I mean...
