    Irish women's soccer had a preseason friendly with Northwestern and won 1-0. Doesn't mean much as both teams played a lot of players even freshmen to get everybody game experience.

    Irish Football continues fall camp, no big news coming out of fall camp. Hopefully we get through the camp without losing anybody to injury. There is of course no QB battle as CJ Carr will be the starter, but there is a battle to see who backs him up and none of those guys have any experience in college football.

    The 5 year eligibility will have a big impact on everybody, not just the Irish. Teams won't have to "manage" their freshman to preserve a red shirt year. In fact I would imagine the term Red Shirt Freshman, etc will leave our lexicon.

    Good for him, too many players end up broke because of their lifestyle choices. While I won't root for the Arizona Cardinals, but I will root for him to have a great year and career. Truly a special young man.

    Ditto, Terry. I won't root for his team but I will root for him.

    Lotta pre-season hype for the Irish going into the upcoming season which makes me nervous. I’m in the show me mode right now.

    Tim, I'm just like you. I'm always nervous before the seaso. The greater the hype, the more nervous I am.
