Not a bash on Michigan, but from what I saw on Saturday, six wins would be a successful season. If they played IU right now, I'd put my money on the Hoosiers. I like what I'm seeing from Cigneti. X's and 0's beat Jimmies and Joes. Right?

Insufficient data available...

ZERO excuse for a coach in Year 3 at ND to allow Northern Ilinois to come into South Bend and walk away with a W after only scoring 16 points.

And now, NIU is $1.4 million richer!  The Purdue-Notre Dame tilt should we a good one, but the spread is crazy!

I think Notre Dame is in if they win out. Smart people know that Northern Illinois was a trap game. Or was it? Can we call a 'guaranteed win' a trap game? Or do only mid and low tier Power Five qualify as trap games? Either way, win out and they are in. But right now I don't have confidence in the offense to do that. 

Vegas had the Irish a 28 point favorite.  The odds are really long to make the playoffs.

[Coach Nowlin]

I will wait to hear from @Bobref and @WolvesOnTheProwl on my transfer QB inquiry 

 

Purdue +28 at HOME??   Time to log into Vegas.......

no idea where +28 came from.......

 

Currently +12.5.    doubt it was ever +28  just saying

NO, I meant the Irish were a 28 point favorite against NIU.  I have not idea what the line for Purdue is.

Yeah, you don’t like when things get personal, right?  

(Like that thinly veiled threat you PM’ed me months ago…)

Walmart Wolverine was personal??  OK....my apologies.

I mean, you called me out by name so...

Wife jokes back on the table?

You don't like when it gets personal though, lol...

Most people would consider sexual references to wives off the table on this forum.  Just basic common sense and quality of character.  Even more so when one does this without looking at the individual face to face.

That being said, athough I wouldn't equate a joking "WalMart Wolverine" reference as the same, you apparently do.  In any case, please accept the apology and move on.  This is rather boring and I am sure others don't care to have their time wasted.

Then stay on topic and stop acting childish.

 Insults become commonplace when you have no substance to any argument.

I’ve repeatedly asked that the topic at hand “Notre Dame’s embarrassing loss to NIU” take center stage and you refuse and then get pissed when I respond so you can point the finger at me.

ND -11.5

LOL...it was a joke about the WalMart Wolverine....a joke...nothing more.  Not meant to be an insult and sorry you took it that way.  The reason for the joke was your constant and passionate defense of UM in your responses to others who mentioned Michigan's performance last week.  

There is only one person acting pissed....and its not me.

Memo to self...no more jokes about Wolverine fans....its simply not worth it.

Whatever dude.  You love making things personal until things are thrown back in your face.  

Joke/insult are synonyms.  

Grow up.

back in elementary PE in 1988, when this tit for tat would go on, our PE teacher would make us hold hands on the bench until the feud was over......

Time to Hold hands 

[Komets2727]

ND is the annually the most overrated college football team in the country . Top 10 recruiting classes and what do they have to show for it? Home loss to Northern Illinois? What a joke!!! Riley Leonard was suppose to be their savior?? A Duke QB??!! LOL!!! 

For you domers out there, your head coaches recently couldn’t coach PeeWee football. Overmatched doesn’t begin to describe it. Lose at home to Marshall, Check. Lose at home to Stanford, Check. Lose at home to Northern Illinois, Check. There are just no words for the ineptitude in South Bend

I'm a long time Irish fan, but I hope the Irish win, but don't cover, and Jaron Tibbs has 5+ receptions for a hundred or so!

[WolvesOnTheProwl]

Rumor is Riley Leonard hurt his shoulder and is questionable for Purdue. Perhaps a chance to see that Angeli and or Carr can do.

Good idea Coach....maybe the teacher would also have educated a simple guy like me that jokes and insults are synonyms.....😉

I thought the WalMart Wolverine was a little funny...perhaps my sense of humor is warped!!  Guess its time for me to grow up and take GID way more seriously!!!!!!

Lots out there on his injury now, but looks like still the plan to start Sat.  Injury is to his non-throwing shoulder. Right now indicates he full go at practice.  I would think the backup is getting more snaps with the first team this week.

Oh snap!😒

[Coach Nowlin]

Was gonna attend, but looking at my calendar, want to save some bullets in the 6 shooter marriage gun philosophy I adhere too.   Worked out somewhat well for the most part

Perhaps, I can convince @WolvesOnTheProwlto allow me to slum with him

Now, back to Northern Illinois please.

The only positive I can take from that game is that the head coach is a Bishop Luers graduate.

This type of effort might have beaten NIU.

Sorry, but regardless of how well they are playing today, Marcus Freeman is on thin ice with me. Every year they have at least one pathetic effort. It’s his job to make sure that doesn’t happen. In 3 years he’s got losses to Northern Illinois, Louisville, Marshall, and a Stanford team that was a laughingstock in a laughingstock conference. None of those teams should EVER beat Notre Dame. It’s his responsibility to make sure that the effort is there, and he hasn’t done it consistently enough for me. Not by a long shot.
