I mean, how pissed would you be if your son was a DB for ND and sat the bench in favor of guys like Farley and Jackson? Lol.

I miss the days before social media when we could be completely ignorant to all of behind the scenes BS. Sure would have made the times since the NCG so much more tolerable...

How shocked would anyone be if there were problems in that locker room, based on the totality of what you know? On one hand, it wouldn't totally shock me because it would be a realistic explanation for some of the roster attrition and I can honestly see how BK could be a guy whose style and message wear thin over time. On the other hand, this is coming from a parent whose kid is buried on a depth chart that is not exactly busting with elite talent.

Edit: ok, so supposedly that was not actually Lo's father that posted. That changes things a little, I guess, in that I probably wouldn't have been prompted to make this post if I'd known that, but doesn't change the underlying point.

I'm with ya. Any disgruntled fan can make a fake Twitter account and tweet anything they want. Then the firestorm starts and suddenly the media are chasing a ghost.

Pete Sampson just said that post not made by Lo Wood or his father.

Interesting. I logged off II shortly after posting that. Some of the posters claimed that Lo's dad had an account on there during his recruitment, but looking back that wouldn't make sense since the account had only been active for 12 months.

Hmm.

This grammar hammer is interested in just who is responsible for the comment as posted. Aside from the unnecessary capitalizations, which could be taken as harmless emphasis, there are no errors that would warrant "(sic)."

I think someone edited the post and erroneously fixed the errors and labeled the fixes with "(sic)." Obviously they were unaware that "sic erat scriptum" roughly translates to, "thus it was written."

That was my assumption, but I have a reputation to uphold as a tight-***, hard-*** taskmaster.

That's because I corrected them so you wouldn't spontaneously combust.

And I thank you for your consideration, kind sir.



Though my desk is equipped with a fire extinguisher/keg just in case ...

Lo's dad just started a thread on II titled "No One is Playing for Kelly"



He followed up saying that part 2 was coming and he'll tell it all. I'm really interested to hear if it's a disgruntled parent or a real story.

If it is Lo's dad, I'd go with disgruntled parent. I was standing next to his parents outside the stadium after a game earlier in the season and all they did was complain about his lack of PT. If the parent of a player who has been passed on the depth chart is complaining, I'd take what they say with a grain of salt.

It's not him or his dad, per Pete Sampson.

Dug this up:


"Let's look at this point. 4 linebackers rotated, with 2 being 5th year players and 2 who never played before the 3rd quarter until this Year. How about playing 4 Safeties within one drive , who is the leader, captain or even yet who can remember the defensive plays. Here is the best one. 2 corners who never played cornerback until last year and was in a cover 2 with Safeties over top and then you bring in 2 freshmens in Dime Package but you leave the only true Corner under Coach Cook guidance for 4 years and he sits the Bench. KARMA IS In Place.

I will cheer him on for sure. Let's remember he was not Kelly recruit and could have left but he stayed because of the one and only Degree from ND. Tommy could have went to NW , trust me I know. Kelly set him up for failure especially when you rotate 12 guys in 4 plays. Confusing as HELL. NO TRUST"

If that was Part 2, it was disappointing.

Always a bit sad to see guys go, but there's been smoke around this for awhile, and he probably wasn't going to see the field much. Welch is a tougher story since he had so many injuries, but he always seemed close to ready. Does this add to our estimate for number of available scholarships this cycle?

Hate to see guys go that aren't doing it for the wrong reasons and wish them all the best. On the other hand, this may be a little addition by subtraction with adding more talented players in their spots. Also thankful that they were respectful/thoughtful enough to do this now as opposed to say, the spring after NSD.

Not really. They were not expected back as 5th year seniors.
