No way he can. Without him, they don’t win. I firmly believe that. Guy never quit and packed up. Worked and came through when his team needed him. Hope a lot of kids saw that and their dads emphasized the importance of this moment. What an absolute atrocious DPI call on Kiser’s interception.

What a game! Maybe God is Irish! He wouldn't let his Mother's team lose tonight! On to Atlanta to play for the Natty! I'm glad I took my blood pressure medicine before the game! I can't wait 'til a week from Monday. It doesn't matter who the Irish play!

I hope Steve Angeli isn't forgotten in all this.

Wish they would have planned a series for him as part of the normal game plan. Show something they have not seen yet.

Getting whipped at the LOS on both sides of the ball.

Done.

Didn't trigger me at all. Why are you so obsessed with the word triggered? I would miss you with it, but you are like a magnet, you bring it on yourself. Get thicker skin if it triggers you that much.

Followed by that TD throw....damn I am too old for this. Ok, so the DB fell down...lol

That throw was embarassing.

Heart.

Phew. There we go boys! MUCH needed. Angeli is MVP for ND so far. His relief in a pinch was HUGE and gave the Irish much needed momentum. Keep it rolling.

And just like that, we are tied folks. Great drive to start the half.

Maybe that'll open up the run game? I think Angeli might be ND's best shot in the second half. I think the biggest piece to this is Penn State's lack of preperation for Angeli.

I posted that about the UGA game. How would they make nd 1 dimensional and nd found a way to win. Hoping nd makes that 2 weeks In a row

It's less than two hours to the first semi! The Irish had their customary 7 day turnaround and Penn State had a couple of extra days due to the schedule and the unforeseen circumstances. I believe that won't have much bearing on this game. Both teams know how big this one is. GO IRISH!!!!!!!!!

That's my bad. I was looking at football. I didn't realize he coached basketball. Thanks for the help!

The Damon Bailey rule. Used to have to have a current teachers license to be a HC. Then Damon Bailey got the gig at BNL.

Wouldn't you think, given that nearly every year there are wildfires in Southern California, that major metropolitan areas that would potentially be in the path of an out-of-control wildfire (yeah, it's in the name) would have an organized plan in place to put up some kind of a resistance to stop one before an entire city is leveled because they "run out of water" - I mean - They live right up against a pretty major water source called the Pacific Ocean........So I'm a little stunned when I hear "we're out of water".

Modern Academe Has Corrupted the Media (And Pretty Much Everything Else): https://mises.org/mises-wire/modern-academe-has-corrupted-media-and-pretty-much-everything-else Today’s elite journalists overwhelmingly hold political and social views that are reflective of what is happening in higher education, and it hardly is a new phenomenon. In the Duke case, members of the Duke faculty rushed to judgment, declaring the players to be guilty and calling on the university to make huge changes in how it governed campus culture. Unfortunately, much of the media coverage of that case differed little from the Duke faculty response. Anyone who has spent much time in the academic world knows that most campuses are home to leftist narratives: Capitalism is oppressive and creates poverty; women are always oppressed; America is a hopelessly racist country built on the backs of black slaves; a state-run economy would be more just than private enterprise; if the state controlled healthcare, then we could have unlimited, free medical coverage; and so on. For a long time, people believed that college campuses were bubbles that held to leftist narratives, but that they would be contained there. However, that clearly has not been the case, especially as the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) movement has migrated from higher education to the corporate world, and, of course, government. How it infected the business world should be no surprise. As one who taught in MBA programs for more than 20 years, the anti-business ethos has long been a staple of the academic business curriculum. Students in MBA programs have been taught for decades that businesses need to answer to “stakeholders,” which really has meant little more than trying to appeal to anti-business activists. Budding entrepreneurs are taught that seeking after profits is the pursuit of greed and that their efforts should be turned toward social goals. Not surprisingly, people who disagree are pushing back against the poisonous ideologies coming from higher education. And—not surprisingly—those in higher education who have been permitted to run amok see this pushback as a national emergency. The American Association of University Professors, in responding to changes in state colleges and universities in Florida (which came about as a result of pushback against DEI), had this hysterical statement: (In reading this statement, one is reminded of Otter’s infamous speech before the Faber College Student Court in the movie “Animal House.”) One doubts seriously that the United States of America faces dire implications because Marxist professors are not given full control of higher education in Florida—or anywhere else. For that matter, as one who has been in higher education for more than 30 years, the bubble that is much of that world is not something we wish to export to our general society, and when those advocates succeed, we get disasters like the Duke Lacrosse Case or “journalism” that is little more than political propaganda in which advocates try to turn reality upside down. Lest one think I exaggerate about the hysteria that the left has created on college campuses, this account from Brown University should remind us of the idiocy that has become the American university. When libertarian Wendy McElroy participated in a debate at Brown on the subject of sexual assault, university officials responded, according to the New York Times, by setting up a “safe space” for those traumatized by McElroy’s presence at Brown: Brown, of course, is attended by some of the most privileged young people in the world and it is ridiculous to claim that the presence of a libertarian blogger (who has written for this page) places the lives of young women there in peril. But that is the world that not only exists at Brown and other elite colleges and universities, but also in many of our other institutions such as government, business, and the non-profits that seem to be gaining in influence. There is nothing wrong with pushing back against hard-left agendas and the upside-down world leftist advocates wish to impose upon the rest of us. One hopes we can reverse some of the worst excesses before leftists in higher education are able to corrupt what is left of our body politic.

Maybe FCS needs a success factor!😉

yeah you're going to need to change your picture back, this is unacceptable

Unfortunate some good history could be dug up of my first 19 accounts I mean some other guy

Ballard, early on in this years as GM, chose Perris Campbell instead of Terry McLaurin. It was a huge mistake, not because McLaurin was a Indy native, because he was vastly more talented than Campbell. Yesterday, Terry McLaurin caught his 13th TD pass of the season, setting a Washington franchise record. Of course I like Terry because I know him, and his dad, from his time at Cathedral, but that's just a side issue. Ballard has gone on to make many other blunders, and some really great moves, such as choosing Jonathon Taylor, but overall the team has suffered since Andrew Luck's late decision to retire, 3 weeks before the season began, and the team just tried for year's to plug in old and inferior replacements. Then the Anthony Richardson pick, someone with just one year of experience as a college QB. That choice is still up in the air, mostly because AR, with all his size, seems to be very fragile. It's just time for Ballard to be replaced by someone with a different view. It's been enough time for Ballard to improve this team. It really hasn't happened.

It would be a great day to donate to the GID! Happy New Year! https://gridirondigest.net/clients/donations/

Eh, my skin is pretty thick. Don’t give yourself too much credit. You’ve done in this very thread what I am accused of doing in other threads, which is “derailing” the thread. @PHJIrish is a grown man. If he is indeed 81, he’s seen more than all of us and can take care of himself. Doesn’t need some internet warriors telling him when he should/shouldn’t be offended. If a handful of WORDS can get a group of people this fired up, I can’t imagine how you are in real/every day life. Can we get this thread back on topic or we gonna whine some more?

If you say so boss. Don’t care how old anyone on here is. Maybe he has thicker skin than you do? If the “Titanic” comment really triggered you, perhaps you should get thicker skin. Ron acts like a prick to everyone on here and never gets lectured. Miss me with this nonsense.
