    I saw some poor pursuit by the defensive line, and Harrison Smith rolling around like an idiot in the secondary.

    Not solved by any means. But better than last year. Hopefully Woolfolk is 100% this week.

    Are you really that happy about it? I know the interception in the first half was horrible but all the same I don't really think the guy got his chance. The game plan in the first half revolved around Wood, not the passing game. Then Rees came out in the second half and threw 34 times. How many of those 34 were to Floyd? How many targets did he get in the first half in contrast to the second half? That's a stat I'd like to see. And yes, I understand they were in a two possession hole by the start of the third quarter, but all the same I'm not sure how I feel about Rees going in to the Michigan game. Here's to hoping its just my nerves and he does great.

    There are so many reasons to be happy about it. Bottom line, Rees is a gamer under pressure, and Dayne isn't.

    TicketsNow: Avg price for ND-Michigan game is $451, the highest priced game this weekend. Bama-PSU is #2 at $298/seat.
    StubHub says demand in Notre Dame game is the highest they've seen for a Michigan game since they launched in 2000.

    Stubhub just signed a partnership with Michigan this year so that is obvious. Tix can now be sent electronically for the first time. Not sure who darren rovell or ticketsnow is but all you have to do is look at stubhub
    http://www.stubhub.com/michigan-football-tickets/michigan-vs-notre-dame-9-10-2011-1024595/

    Last week the cheapest pair was around $300, now approaching $200. Average list price doesn't mean anything, nobody is going to pay $2000 a ticket which is what some people are listing theirs for since it's free. There are also more listings now, meaning for every pair sold more are listed.

    Historical significance: This is the last time Notre Dame played Michigan while being ranked in the top 10.
    2006?

    read more practice reports.

    I didn't remember that. That's interesting.

    Yeah, that would help. Why are you stuck on that anyway. Don't you read practice reports and watch coach's reports to see how your team is doing? Your comments about that aren't even relevant to the topics.

    I clearly was thinking about how where the ended the season, which was not close to top 10. I do remember the ass whooping in the bowl game though. :thumbup:

    Why are you stuck on posting the same gif repeatedly? Do you aspire to be on sleeper's and Tiernan's level?

    This. He was calling people out for trolling on the Western Michigan-Michigan thread the other day but he trolls on that ND-USF thread. Hypocrite.

    I have a feeling we won't hear much from him after Saturday. No biggie.
