This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Deep team thoughts by SEE

Buchner technically should still be in high school and he hasn't played in a year - he looked more impressive than either QB. Now it's a spring game, so...

Coan can scramble and he can throw and read defenses. We probably have an upgrade at QB. His arm strength looks much better than advertised.

I'm sure Pyne is a great leader, but the Baker Mayfield comparison is a bit funny. He's Baker without the arm or scrambling ability. Looked like he had to heave it to get it 35 yards.

Tyree is the first "hold your breath players" I've seen at ND in some time. Guys like him make defenses nervous and tentative.

WR... ugh

The OL is a mess right now, but it's a mess with talent. This will be Quinn's first year with his guys, I'm not sure what we'll get. He had a Harry Heistand's line last year. It's easy to look good with the talent and coaching he inherited. Let's see what he does on his own.

On a team without Mayer, Takacs could be a stud.

It looks like MTA will be just fine at SDE. Hinish is looking more like a Zorich than an oversized LB.

Marist certainly flies around, great to see Shayne Simon named team captain. Optimistic at LB.

The CBs have some size and talent. I think Ramon Henderson is going to be a very good player. 10.59 100m speed.

We're likely a 9-2, 10-3 team unless the OL gels.
