Sweet throw.

Neal....

I'm trying not to say bad things about our guys right now.

 

[OlympiaIrishFan]

Game absolutely over. This is the most embarassed I have been of our team in a long time. they didn't show up at all on this game.

 

[Rocky2820]

Time for us to give AJ McCarron some credit. In fact, a lot of credit.

For the LOVE of GOD TACKLE SOMEONE...Anyone...Each Other...Something

This is heartbreaking

 

[FLDomer]

Painful

I will question Kelly till the day I die for not receiving the kickoff... You cannot start down against Bama.. This amateur hour?

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

Right about now I'm wishing kstate beat Baylor.

 

[dudexcore]

Longest first half of my life.

 

[GoldenChild]

Time for the most amazing comeback in NCAA championship history. Roll Irish!

 

[Ogretoes]

Is it to late to deferr to next year?

[scUM Hater]

At this point I don't think it matters. Instead of going 3 and out down 7 we would have went 3 and out and then went down 7.

 

[pumpdog20]

Ugh, hell of a season. Let's come back, make this respectable, keep our recruits, lick our wounds, and come on strong next year.

 

[goldandblue]

Guys. None of us expected to be at this point. We still played an undefeated regular season!! Be proud of this team!

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

Um...we lost the toss ***

Lol. Nope.

 

[Bluto]

Jesus Murphy. Really bad first half (play calling, d and o) but the comments are ridiculous. Tackling has been horrendous and there were some really bad calls by the refs early on.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

I remember Kelly saying a few weeks back in a presser about special teams "its not pretty, but it's not something keeping me up at night."

Umm...

But at any rate. I knew we didn't really match up. I expected a 21 loss. I didn't expect to look this distraught... I want to see a couple nice series in the second half. Play for pride guys.

Still an awesome season!

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

I want to crawl into a corner and rock myself to sleep

Yes, I keep getting a "database error" window.

There's a record number of users online.

 

[peoriairish]

BGIF... this is one of those moments I wish you kept those stats to yourself, brother.

Yeah there was a bug in the server and the anti-virus software went to go tackle it but it missed the tackle.

 

[Grahambo]

Well then. Um. I love lamp?
