This weeks Irish Blogger Gathering is hosted by the formidable, JVH of Irish Round Table. There will be a theme. Guess what that might be…
On to the IBG!
This would have been a lot easier and cooler had Twitter not disabled Blackbird Pie. The tweets would have been easier to embed, and the links and hashtags would have worked too. It was a pretty cool tool. Twitter is now on my shit list.
1) Excluding Aaron Lynch, who is your top newcomer of the year thus far (freshman or player that hadn’t seen much playing time in prior seasons)?
2) We asked our Twitter followers for questions to use in this week’s IBG. Here’s a sampling of what we got. Choose ONE and answer:
- @TheSubwayDomer: If the #NDFB quarterbacks were female super models, who would they be? What would they endorse? #IBG
- @PerrasW01: Why has the #NDFB program gone to hell since Holtz left?
- @rpleary: You know that sign that says “Play Like a Champion Today”? What does our offense have against the sign?
- @chadros: Based on our offense’s performance to date, is the current play calling mix(run vs. pass) the right one? Should we be running the ball more?
- @yetiisready: Will this be the week we see the “change-up package” AKA “the Leprecat?”
3) If you could have 1 play back this season, what play would you want a do-over? How would that have changed a game’s outcome? Are you sure your do-over would work in ND’s favor?
4) In 140 characters or less “tweet” a summary of the season so far. Bonus points for hashtags or mentions.
5) Lou Holtz asked 3 basic questions of every player and coach, “Can I trust you? Are you committed? Do you care about me?” In your opinion, which player would every other player give a resounding “Yes” to each of these questions and why?
6) Jumbotron. Good idea or terrible idea. What would you do to make it a great idea?
7) Every week we try to fire up the masses with a “Fire It Up” video. Sometimes these videos are inspirational ballads of kick-ass Notre Dame football. Sometimes they are of a Japanese game show with dudes getting hit in the junk. Submit a video to Fire Up the Irish faithful for the Purdue game.
Aw hell, I better put that video up right now:
