[NDIrish]

Welcome.  But any thoughts of ND are premature at this stage.  We first need to dispatch the Ducks in their own backyard.  After this waterfowl has feasted on a trio of cupcakes, they deserve some punishment; and I hope we are in a position to give it.  

Then we talk about how you destroyed Wake Forest and what that means for the contest on 29 September.

Lets just hope that we destroy wake forest lol... good luck against the ducks

NDIrish-

While you are waiting to post thoughts, speculations and expectations on the TBD Tree vs Fighrish contest, considering reading an earlier season Cardboard thread entitled "Why schedule Notre Dame?"

I would be interested in a Notre Dame fan's, Honorable Heathen, Distinguished Foreigner thoughts on the rivalry.

https://thecardboard.org/board/showthrea...#pid227799

I will take a look!

Didn't we accord the status of "honorable heathen" to fans of other boards who posted respectfully on the Cardboard?

I know "honorable" and "Notre Dame Fan" is not something we are accustomed to seeing, but NDIrish goes a ways back, and I have always appreciated his (or her) contributions to this board.

appreciate it!  "His" will do.  im good with whatever title i am assigned, doesn't bother me. there is nothing honorable happening on notre dame boards right now, fans are a joke.  I hope to live up to the reputation and contribute something useful this year.

NDIrish was already in the Distinguished Foreigner group, but looks like we missed giving that group its own default user title after the changeover to new board software. 

I've fixed that now. I used the group name Distinguished Foreigner as title, not Honorable Heathen. I don't remember which one was last used with the old software, though I know it was HH at one time.

The new site looks nice, is there an app to use as well?

one of my best friends is a bigtime Notre Dame fan, so for me, the Notre Dame game is way bigger than the Oregon game.

i'd say we have a 50% chance of beating Oregon, but i have no idea how we'll do against the Fighting Irish.

its a hard pick, im gonna try and watch the oregon/stanford game before really deciding, but right now i give stanford a slight edge.

Updated head-to-head recruiting data for Class of 2019.

Stanford
- DB Salim Turner Muhammad
- LB Tristan Sinclair
- RB Austin Jones
- OT Walter Rouse
- OLB Aeneas Di Cosmo?
- DE Josh Pakoloa?
- CB Trent McDuffie?
- TE Hunter Henry?

Notre Dame
- OG Zeke Corell
- CB K.J. Wallace
- S Kyle Hamilton
- RB Kyren Williams
- OT Quinn Carroll
- OT Andrew Kristofic

So if these are the head-to-head battles, that would make 14. If these numbers hold, Stanford would lead 8-6 for Class of 2019. Does this competitiveness track to recent historical trends? Hard to believe there is a more fierce recruiting rival for Stanford than Notre Dame.

i think it sucked for both schools to lose out on st. brown, however, if he is anything like his brother, he will be playing for the nfl only and lack commitment to the team.

id be curious a year by year comparison of kids who legitimately had stanford/nd in their final three.  It seems to be pretty common.  my first year on this board (hard to believe that was 2014) i was quickly educated on the difference in academic standings between the two schools overall, but in general i think they tend to look for the same kind of athlete.
