A Season with Notre Dame Football

[dublinirish]

I hear taxes are brutal in the old country.

you guys pay like 1.5% tax on your gas at the pump. we pay 63%, so yah I'll say no more

 

[woolybug25]

I'm 100% convinced I'm smarter than you, so your constant jabs don't bother me. You care how smart you're perceived on here, and I don't, so I let it go and don't treat this site like I'm writing a proposal for my boss. It's all dirt off of the shoulder. But do your thang, just letting you know it'll never bother me and you're wasting your breath.

Whiskey could make me cry, but that's about it.

I'm 100% sure that you are not. You can't even fix basic things in your home and come on a football site to ask retarded investment advice. It's easy to say "I don't treat this site like I am writing a proposal for my boss", when you never post anything of substance to counter your idiotic posts. If you actually ever posted anything that remotely sounded intelligent, then your claim of "playing dumb" might make sense.... But you haven't.

I like all you guys and everything, but when threads bog down (not a shot at you trotter) in a thread due to arguments that get personal in nature I wish people would take them to private messages or if we had an argument thread...

Potential titles:

Just out of curiousity, what have you paid per gallon this week? I paid $2.79/gallon US yesterday.

EDIT: Gasoline, not diesel, but I can get that price point if you don't run petrol in your car.

Playground, 3 o'clock is my vote! Lets make this happen so we can move on and talk about that show on Showtime about ND Football!

 

[connor_in]

Lol you guys know nothing of Taxation. Come live in Europe for a while..

but don't you Europeans get like 40 weeks vacation a year and 4 hour lunches?

 

[Cackalacky]

I agree with connor_in. That's enough. Wooly you know koon gives zero shits about facts an stuff and mis-characterizes/mis-understands every situation and you can't let it go when he does so. Respectfully....please stop. Becasue koon is gonna shoot from the hip and lol whenever,..... facts be damned.

 

[woolybug25]

Can you two just start your own thread and quit clogging threads like these with your bickering? Just ignore him or something wooly, your hate is just too much. He has some good points, not all but some. It is a message board and people like koon are entitled to their own opinions and this is a place for them to display said opinions. Get over it!

Give me a break. Circa quoted a post from a week ago and brought me into the thread. Not the other way around. Talk to Koon and Circa.

I was over it last week when I posted the comment... but please, let's talk about more "on topic" items like Koon's legs or why Hillary sucks.

I'll see myself out.... sheesh...

Actually, I am really glad you posted this. I have gotten the feeling that Kelly is really calming down. Almost, that he uses his shouting and anger to make a point, more than he is out of control.

Your comment, coupled with Kelly mentioning more than once the staff is particularly mindful of their student athletes methods of learning, makes me think that a lot of the problems from the past, especially those based upon personality and ego, may be greatly diminished. At the same time authoritarian assistant coaches tendencies are at an all time low. The entire staff has never been this inspiring, or offered such positive leadership.

I think spending offseasons with Belichek and giving his kids the learning assessments has helped BK. He now knows yelling and screaming works for some players, but very few quarterbacks.

 

[phgreek]

Yeah, I want to give him my leg.

me too...except in my case I think he'd be further along with the one he has...

$1.89 per gallon here in Nashville

just an additional thought on it...

I think 2010 ish he had QB issues and opportunities on offense were a little harder to come by...execution had to be perfect, and when it wasn't, he freaked out.... The other thing is, he was trying to change the culture...and sometimes that takes really attacking certain things you know lead to losing... like running a route with your head down, and letting the ball hit you in the head. I think as he has gotten some performance out of the QB position, and the culture became his, he has calmed down. I think certain things will always piss him off (QB missing a read), but he seems to be in control. He clearly has talented depth at QB, and a good culture, so I think he retired purple face for the time being...but I'm not convinced it wouldn't return if needed....

If someone rescinds their "support" for a kid playing football for Notre Dame simply because of who they support for president, then they should have their head checked. That's beyond fuq'n stupid.

I'd agree yet it wouldn't surprise me one bit with some of the posters on this board!

What's a litre?

 

[Bogtrotter07]

What's a litre?

0.26417 gallons.

So you have to multiply 1.35 times 3.78 to get about $5.103 per gallon.

Sorry Bogs,..... that sounds like some commie bull shits to me.

Edit. There should be some italics in here somewhere.

Can anyone explain what BK meant when he said something like "teams last season were 1-6 the week after facing the option"?

 

[Hammer Of The Gods]

I was a little curious about that my self. I mean...if you just sampled Georgia Tech and Navy that'd be what 20-22 games? where did the 1-6 come from?

I thought I heard him say they were 1-6 after beating a team that ran the option. That number sounds more realistic then.

Makes sense. Navy and Georgia Tech combined for eight losses last year, with one of GT's being the last game of the season so there would be no "next week" result.

But wooly is entitled to his own opinion, and this is a place for him to display said opinions, too. It's not a one-way street.

Appreciate the math(s) work Bogs!

Yeah but Koon's nonsense opinions are usually more football-related than Wooly's nonsense opinions.

Koon: "I think Jaylon Smith should start at Z-receiver against Clemson."
Wooly: "You're a pussy and I banged your cat last Tuesday."

An opinion of 'I think Harbaugh secretly likes the attention' is different than 'you're an idiot'.

I should just create a sig of my haters so people know not to take their posts towards me seriously.

I got a list and it goes:

Kmoose
Cackalacky
Wooly
All of the mods
... I'm missing a few

Not putting NDinLA on it because he's been cool towards me since I've been back.

You're right. "Harbaugh secretly likes attention" isn't obviously true....

THIS is why people give you a hard time. You are worse than a woman with the drama, koon!! Everyone is always being mean to you. Life isn't fair to you. For the love of God, man; EVERYONE on this board, and EVERYONE on this planet, has daily issues that they have to deal with. We just don't constantly cry about them.

I was confused by this as well.

Haven't you realized by now I put zero weight into the opinion of people who come on here to air their grievances and try to start stuff? You're on the list for a reason, lol. I'm just saying it'd be nice for the entire board if my trolls kept their personal issues with me to themselves, because I'm not offensive and they waste their breath by trying to make me feel bad. Was, is, always will be dirt off of the shoulder from you guys.

You'll never see it this way - but drama doesn't start without someone being personal or trolling. Opinions will fly on message boards. It's when someone tries to start something when the drama happens. Please note the person starting something personal is NEVER me. It's you guys.

Honestly, instead of insulting me, you guys should just neg rep me every time you don't like one of my football opinions. That'd save the whole site a lot of headache. I won't be upset if you neg rep me.
