Can we just give Navy some respect?

I know we as ND fans are usually the ones defending Navy and their credentials...but this is not like losing to Western Michigan or some other crap team in CFB.

We had two bad turnovers, didn't score at the goal line and lost by 18 points. It's ****ing growing pains people.

No coach, university, team, cheerleading staff, parents, fans, recruits...can justify that farce of a display this joke of a team showed today.

This is why you need to become a fan of another team like me. GO DUCKS.

ND football is a vicious cycle. 3-9, 5-7, 6-6, 6-6, 7-5, 8-4, 9-3, 10-2, 5-7, 3-9, 6-6, 5-7.
Thats what its gonna be. ND will be LUCKY to win 3 games in 2012. Great idea to add Oklahoma and Miami for 2012. Maybe they should drop Navy and add Alabama......Oh wait, Navy beats ND every year. Lets drop Purdue and add Alabama instead so they can get another loss. JOKE!

Sadly I am slowing starting to believe that. GO BSU!

And you post here why? I never do, but your posts caught my eye. Why waste your time? I never visit Nancy Pelosi's blog, because I have no interest. I think you should Duck out.

Wow. Extremely clever, however you let your inexperience on this sit sneak up on you right there. Look at his post count my man. I think it may be time for you to visit Nancy's blog and take your clever puns elsewhere. Before you spout off about other people, establish a rep here first by posting more than 3 things ;)

This is growing pains. It will take time for Kelly to recruit his type of players. Smaller faster lineman, a QB who can run and throw. Defensive lineman who can get off blocks and tackle somebody. IMO Dayne Crist has taken several steps back. He makes absolutely poor decisions. He hasn't read a defense all year and his mobility is average at best. Those interceptions today was a matter of failing to read the defense. Let's not forget Navy had something to do with this. They whipped our *** up front on both sides of the ball. This was embarrassing because we were man-handled today.

Ok, will do. My age and mobility limit me. Plus they only let me use the computer once a week, here at the home. That is why I am Justafan. Regards

I'll be the first one to laugh when we're fighting for the championship in 2014.

A lot of things would have to go perfect in order for that to happen. We have along way to go before we start talking about championships. I'd love to laugh with you in 2014 and I'll hold onto my optimism as well, but Im reluctant to make that call. It will have a lot to do with how this staff developes their recruits.

You claim to be old enough to be in a home with limited mobility yet your screen name is "Justafan"? Seems like a name a language for a younger "chap" like myself but I'll pretend to take your word for it. Although there are a lot of folks occupying homes such as yourself that start their posts with Yo Gene.

No you wont, because I'm laughing at you now. Give me your method behind your madness please.

I have a pantry full of Kool-Aid.

2014.

Andrew Hendrix is a fifth-year senior in his fifth year in this offense. You have speed on the edges with George Atkinson and DaVaris Daniels, you have a big tight end in Ben Koyack, those big uglies in our current recruiting class on the offensive line, Lynch and Tuitt on the ends, Nix in the middle, some speed at OLB, speed at the corners.

OPTIMISM. It's beautiful.


I shall never run out!

I won't drag this out. Was joking about the home, but not the rest. If I told you that I listened on the radio to the Iowa Preflight game and others, would you believe me. I did, and want to say in my memory, this was the most unprepared team I have seen. This offense was not new, since this coach and previous had used. Maybe the coaches were unprepared, but some of those seniors etc. have seen it..........Go Phillies!

well, i think this year is full of growing pains. the bummer was the rash of injuries for this game. we were depleted big time and that impacted morale, but we still should've seen a better effort all around. this stings bad, but you have to keep at it and keep getting better. that's as optimistic as i can be right now.

thats just it...we're not getting better...i know we have some critical injuries, but seriously the reserves in the 4th quarter looked just as good as the starters...this is one of the most boring games i have ever watched...it looked as though they didn't give a **** what happened...but we're no better than we were to start the season

Err, Cincy ran through 5 QBs at one point last year or the year before. Its not just about putting up 50 points a game, its all the in between stuff. Oh yah, and the defense.
