If there were an IE broadcast, Koon would have to play the roll of Todd McShay as draft-guru-turned-sideline-reporter.

He could make as many ridiculous player comparison as his heart desires for whenever the booth guys check in with him to ask for his sideline insight.

We could even keep a rolling board of his tidbits.

"Ronnie Stanley really reminds me a lot of Jim Harbaugh when he played QB. Back to you, guys."

"Someone said that Terry Hanratty is down here on the field as a guest today, but I'm not sure what this means for the Irish. I'll find out what I can and keep you updated. Thanks guys, back to the booth."

I was at the 2006 Fiesta as well - freaking miserable experience getting my hopes up for a return to glory only to be spanked like a cheap whore.

There does seem to be a lot at stake here - 0-3 against Top 10 teams would be hard to argue as anything other than a trend. Time to get over the hump and go get ours! Huge set up for 2016, IMO.

This one is perfect early afternoon New Year's day - still in your PJs. The way bowl games were meant to be done.

Agreed but I think a more accurate depiction is Todd McShay meets Brick Tamlin.

- "Let's go down to Koon for his inside the sideline reports"

- "Hey guys, I'm down here with the coach of the Notre Dame fighting Irish. He tells me, they plan to win this game. Also, many of the players are talking and yelling while wearing golden shoes. *Koon smiles, leaving awkward silence*"

I see Kooi as more of a locker room reports. That's where the skin comes out.
And I'd put a a wager down he would, at some point, challenge Longo to a strongman competition.

A trend THIS year but a useful metric for prognostication regarding '16 when ND will have the least NFL / graduation losses and the highest number of returning impact players from injury.

has BK ever beaten a Top 10 team either when they were ranked in top 10 and/or if they finished ranked in the Top 10?

Koon be like.....
- Hey guys, I'm here in the locker room of the Notre Dame fighting Irish. I can tell you first hand that Jaylon's abs look tremendous. I'll get back on the sidelines after the team finishes dressing. Back to you guys. (Hey CJ, mind turning around?)

I'm not sure I understand the question with the "and/or" but my answer as I understand it would be absolutely yes.

Beat an MSU team that was eventual Big Ten/Rose Bowl champ finished top 5 and was 13-1. We were the 1.

Beat eventual Big 12 co-champ Oklahoma on the road. They were top 10 when we played.

Beat PAC12/Rose bowl champ Stanford at home, they would finish 7th.

We've beaten other team that were highly ranked at the time and then dropped off. For instance, we beat then #10 MSU on the road at the start of 2012 in prime time, and then we had some other top 15ish wins that weren't worth much at the end of the season.

Love Todd McShay. Can't remember if I like Sean McDonough or not, but for some reason I remember ND nation disliking him. Am I right on that or totally off base?

I think Steelhead and GATTACA would be a great combo.

I've thought it over and i've decided to take the job, on a few conditions.......

1. Steelhead is out. He's too funny. I can't have him stepping on my one liners, or outshining my references. I propose we replace him with a nice even keel poster, someone that isn't going to make anyone laugh, someone like Wizard.

2. Everyone needs to agree ahead of time that all forms of cursing are on the table. I know IE is bipolar when it comes to swearing. One week I come on and it's fucking fair game, next week the filter is back on and you would think ND is a mormon school. If I am supposed to be the GATTACA you all know and love, my rage needs to be untethered.

3. I want to be paid exclusively in VBucks.

Offense was on point the last time we had this crew and had an early kickoff (Pitt).

Who the fuck in whining?! Try not to be a sanctimonious prick.

Plenty of people were whining as evidenced by all the other posters who agreed with my observation. I'm sorry you got butt-hurt because of what I wrote. How am I being sanctimonious? Did you recently peruse the dictionary?
