Jan 20 | National Championship

[MacIrish75]

Hell guys.

We’re still playing football on January 20.

I’m just gonna try and enjoy it.

To be fair their third receiver would be WR1 on 95% of FBS teams

But when you keep getting burned you have to learn from it. He is not.

 

[dang227]

Some teams naturally recruit better than others. OSU is one of the those teams.

It’s a minor league team. Good players never set foot on campus or attend an in person class. It’s been that way for some time.

 

[NorthDakota]

Besides Oregon the first time and Michigan.

They almost lost to Nebraska too.

 

[KMac151993]

Damn you Steve Sarkisin.

 

[ThePiombino]

Gray can’t cover their third receiver

Their 3rd receiver would be our 1st receiver by a country mile

 

[Cackalacky2.0]

Their 3rd receiver would be our 1st receiver by a country mile

Tate would be WR1 at any school that isn’t OSU.

 

[IrishLax]

No Ohio State killed everyone this year

People forget that they got up 34-0 in a half against the undefeated #1 team in the CFP. Murdered everyone but Texas because of the Texas DL + a ton of self-inflicted penalties and mistakes.

WAS IT OVER WHEN THE GERMANS BOMBED PEARL HARBOR

Japan's little kamikaze bombers would out stunt our D-Line tonight, without airplanes. I hate being embarrassed.
All we have to do Is make It close.

 

[RipWheeler]

And Nebraska

Penn State played them tough too, which is why I thought ND could at least hang with them.

heck yeah!
My pro team was eliminated by Halloween.

The last month has been magical!

This is the difference when you pay high school recruits to come and you don’t. ND needs to find a happy medium where they pay some highschool guys and then use the rest on current players and transfers. We can’t keep bringing in 3 star wide receivers and hoping they hit or 3 star DL and waiting 4 years for them to make a difference.

 

[Sea Turtle]

It's even going right for their bang average kicker. Cool.

Not much pressure there.

 

[IrishDan]

1 QB run since the first drive - gained 5 yards!

Why not go back to that?

 

[KMac151993]

Angeli better be the guy.

 

[CTIDANDREW]

No Ohio State killed everyone this year

They were losing to Nebraska at HOME with like six minutes remaining in the game a little over two months ago.

This is not 2019 LSU were playing.
Embarrassing performance.

 

[NDMatt91]

Depends how our boosters respond to this/ if the university allows them to do something. ND is on the precipice. Do what it takes to take that final step or 2.

Hopefully it fires them up and allows our payroll to consistently be in the $12-15M range as opposed to $6-7M. There's no reason it shouldn't be. There's also no reason why fans shouldn't be able to contribute to the collective. Fans are allowed to at Ohio State, Oregon, and the SEC schools.

Not if the goal is to become a football juggernaut but it’s not.

 

[BleedingGold]

It’s interesting when you go into this game reminding yourself we are playing on house money with a young offensive line, a 1 dimensional quarterback we move on from next year, and a defense that is legitimately beat up, but talented and deep, I’m not that upset. I am disappointed but extremely hopeful moving forward.

 

[Tejas]

Attitude doesn't make tackles. We had attitude during the first two TDs we gave up... didn't help

Ok, can we maybe at least put the hurt on them?

 

[KMac151993]

Where is Love and gratehouse?

This is the way.

 

[Norcal Irish]

How Embarrassing.

 

[IA4irish]

This better fuel Freeman. I just want a freaking national championship before I die

 

[NDFAN2008]

Where has Sneed been all night

 

[Gladiator]

Can 1 O-lineman fix RL's jersey when they pancake him? I need to see more effort with the small things.

Mike Frank and Jamie talked about this on a ISD podcast during the season. They said there are plenty of big recruits with ND offers that would come to ND if ND offered them the biggest (or a big) bag and not be locker room cancers.

 

[IA4irish]

just absolutely embarrassing

 

[Luckylucci]

Really didn’t think this would the be the team to fall apart

 

[dang227]

Fowler is outright giddy at this point
