USC v ND

[beachcardinal]

thanks anyway for taking my question. even though the dad of Thomas played for your USC Trojans he was sold on the irish after there spring visit it seemed and he has been pushing his son a little recently to be irish

I did not get returns from guys I consider really good at recruiting yet, just guys I don't know. They think Arizona, but again I don't know these guys. It harder to get good info on guy SC doesn't have a decent chance to get. If more come up I will post.

From what I her the dad wants him to go to Colorado. I don;t think we are in this but I don't have anything from the guys I think are knowledgeable. Basically, I rarely have inside stuff myself. I just sometimes get it from those better connected,

If Helton beats UCLA and ND but loses to Wash does he keep his job?

watched the replay of the sc vs cal game on watchespn beach and I can't really say how good sc is just because of cal having such a horrible defense due to a massive amount of injuries. one of the anouncers said that so far cal has lost seven safeties this year due to injuries which is insane

 

[zonairish]

the Irish will get killed what a disappointment

no they're not. It will be CU or Utah.

Long season. Trust me, it'll be SC.

When we were 0-6 in 2007 I was rooting just as hard to win the 7th game as any other ND game in the last 40 plus years. It's what we do.

ND was never 0-6 in 2007. They started 0-5 then beat UCLA at the Rose Bowl for a 1-5 record.

Ask the players which fan they want on their side.The fan who has their back through good times and bad or the fan who wants the losses to pile up or even the fan who threatens not to watch or attend any more games during this rough patch. The game is not about the fan's egos. We know which fans the players prefer.

Rough patch? This is theft by ND. Get a clue.

you out there?

I was looking over the SC recruiting the past 3 completed sessions and noted you guys are having trouble recruiting elite DT's also. Do you attribute that to just the triumverate of Harbaugh, Saban and Meyer effect or does the problem go deeper? Southern California has to be the best geographycal region to recruit for so something is amiss there. Is SC getting much interest from elite big men in '17 '18?
If not do you think this is related to Helton being looked at as a short timer?

USC is going to play UW in the Pac12 championship game.

You're the guy who wanted Helton fired for unknown reasons. Now you have USC in the PAC 12 title game? Way to straddle the fence.

Helton is a poor recruiter as well as the other coaches. We are an afterthought for as long as he is the coach.

Maybe, probably.

Well you are exactly right. Impossible to tell from that game. I will say this, we have not beaten a team as good as Miami or Navy. Right now my guess is you guys by 9.

Wow. Hoping that we get blown out by our arch rivals. Great fan you are.

I know, we discussed this at lunch yesterday NDSCM REMEMBER...
