Fellas, how the hell are ya? I am doing ok over here in the shiite which is Helmand Province, Afghanistan. I must say I have missed you guys over the last several months; I wish I could have been with you thru this last season of Irish football; at least we could have helped one another come to terms with the fact the ND is mediocre and odds are will be nothing for in the foreseeable future, but we will still post 12-0 come the First of August, only to cry as we blow games to South Florida and Michigan, etc. Such is the life of an Irish fan. I hope all of you are well, and I look forward to seeing you in Ireland. By the way, I am in regular contact with Paddy, so I am kept abreast of Irish news, thanks Paddy.

This time, they really will go undefeated.
Golson at QB.
Recruiting didn't go as planned, but all will be well.
I was excited last season, hoping Kelly would've went with Hendrix out of the gates, but no dice.
In 2012, QB and WILL are gonna be upgraded.
the defensive backfield and receivers will be much better than people think.
13-0 NC is a given.

Fred,
Solid post brother. i'm sure your trip to Helmand was better than the start and finish to our beloved Irish season. Hope all is well. Be there soon enough myself. You'll have to carry the team for the Irish Marines this season.
Semper fi!
