We are slow, Longo must go?

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

Having read the first couple pages of this thread, I'm distraught I didn't find this place sooner. I could've been having way more fun during our bad years.

You'd feel differently if cleaning up the wreckage was your responsibility.

I'd have made him a mod. Talk about two birds .

If one of the "birds" you were looking to kill is the entire site, then yeah, that woulda worked.

You're high. Imagine how epic Pat and Wizard's arguments would be. #freepat

But what if they took the same side? Way too much destructive power. The site would implode. It would be like crossing the streams in Ghostbusters.


So did Pat resurface? How did he come up?

This thread in general I believe

 

[IrishJayhawk]

So if I create a silly thread that evokes lots of animosity, I'll get lots of vBucks?

Hmmmmm...

Koon, on his way to Indy...

Koon, he's waiting

 

[Cackalacky]

This is such a bad bad dark place.

 

[GowerND11]

That was an entertaining blast from the past.

Let me be the first to say I don't miss Pat. Like, at all. Though I might be biased as a mod.

Did anyone else just feel like you were reading the ramblings of Charlie Kelly (ie a deranged man) when Pat would post?

 

[BigIrish]

I'm really tempted. Is anyone else going to scalp? IF I'm going to be drunk I don't want to sit alone. I have a big mouth and will need a body guard.

Per the ND site, you can buy nosebleed tickets RIGHT NOW for $45 per. That's a pretty darn cheap ticket these days.

On an unrelated note, UM is in jeopardy of ending their home sellout streak this week. They've reduced tickets to $22 per and can't give them away.

 

[Kaneyoufeelit]

lol hey Koon did you guys here what Fuller said about his speed

 

[Circa]

You're impressed with Longo? Seriously? We get top ten classes, and no real team athleticism to show for it.

This?

 

[NDFANnSouthWest]

lol. He was not very fast when he got to ND...and now?!

 

[koonja]

Lol, of all of the times to bump this thread, you pick the game where we give up over 500 yards and 36 points to a 2-4 team?

 

[GowerND11]

The team that is averaging 36 points and averaging like 415?

 

[Irish Insanity]

To be fair, we did have a player state he wasn't fast util Longo got a hold of him.

Without addressing the obvious straw man, I bumped the thread because on national television Mayock relayed an absolute refutation of your premise which was given to him by our best WR.

Ok, cool.

 

[Old Man Mike]

New Thread Title:

"Notre Dame is Fast.
Longo must Last."

 

[ulukinatme]

Ok, cool.

So, you obviously missed that whole piece on Longo, did you watch the game? That, or you tuned it out

I don't mean to be snarky, but I honestly couldn't care less what Mike Mayock says about Longo. His take doesn't influence mine at all.

We'll see how fast we are next week.

Again, it wasn't anything Mayock said, it was what Will Fuller said. Since you missed it, Fuller mentioned he wasn't much of a speedster UNTIL he got with Longo. He credits Longo for the speed advantage he has today. It's one thing if a announcer makes a comment on overall speed, it's another when we have living proof of a player's gains and he admits what gave him the edge.

Ok, I did miss that. I'm glad he gave Longo credit, but he was a burner in HS too. Just a humble kid. Gotta love him!

 

[dshans]

Did we win?

A serious question.

I watched the bulk of the first half.

Defense: (All Things Considered) not all that bad.

Offense: Well ... ummm ... Golson "Not Quite (Yet) Ready For Prime Time."

My half-time nap took on a life of its own.

I've said multiple times I don't want Longo gone, I just don't think he's a world beater like the rest of you. I think he's sufficient rather than a superhero. If that's not admitting the OP is an overreaction, IDK what is. Not to mention, I think my OP mentions that I was drunk over a year ago when this thread started.

Plus without naming names, I'm not the only one that's questioned Longo on this board.

But if you drama mamas want to rehash this a year after I made a drunk post, following a thrashing of North Carolina, have at it, lol.

 

[Irish8248]

You haven't actually said it was an overreaction. You've alluded to it or suggested it, but until you say the actual words it doesn't mean anything

I couldn't care less if it means anything to you, Longo, or anyone else. I'm not convinced that he's a world beater and gives us a huge advantage. And I have backed off of my OP over the past year + of calling for his head. If you need it verbatim, search the site. It's there.
