When you have a lot of options, the speed option hits them hardest.

BRACKET PLAY

Despite Fall camp opening for Notre Dame Football, there won’t be very much daily reporting coming out of South Bend as the media is on a leash via the Irish. That stinks for several reasons, and one of those reasons is that more access would at least allow me to ignore most of the preseason predictions… but I can’t.

One of the more noticeable trends going around is for PREDICTOR PERSON to have the Irish AND Miami in the top 4. The Irish and Miami play in November, and what most of these predictions tell us… the game won’t actually mean anything.

I dodn’t have Brad Crawford defending Notre Dame’s schedule on the bingo card… but August is a magical time of the year.

5-STAR AVALANCHE

Notre Dame’s recruiting class is phenomenal, and come signing day it will likely look even better.

Notre Dame was a big part of the conference realignment mania of the 2010’s.

EXPERT PREDICTIONS

This is a true expert folks, and he has the Irish going 12-0 and I can’t argue against it.

RUN ROOK

Jadarian Price has a big opportunity this year with the Seattle Seahawks, and they looked impressed.

SO RIGHT

Notre Dame has a number of position battles this fall camp and it’s really important to get this right. Jack Soble is spot on with how he framed the position battle wins from last year being a big reason why the Irish started the season 0-2.
