My wife just told me I am losing my voice I didn't even notive but I do not care. I will try and scream as loud as I can so the team can hear me. Although I know they can't I will damn sure try my hardest

RallySonsOfND · Oct 22, 2011

Come on Flutie. We spanked MSU who is leading Wisky.

Quit cherry picking our schedule!!!!

Riddickulous · Oct 22, 2011

Could be worse. Glad I wasn't posting in the first 1.75 quarters. I would've looked like a fool.

Thank God for GAIII. Let's keep the momentum going in the second half.

Oh, for goodness sake! Banning posters on a game day thread for expressing opinions and attitude in the heat of the battle reeks of oppressive censorship.

Buffalo isn't the only one who has expressed dissatisfaction with play and play calls. He isn't the only poster who has predicted doom and gloom as the game has unfolded.

Hormones and emotions both flow heavily in circumstances such as this. Take a deep breath, relax the ban hammer finger, and revisit the situation in the next day.

I often agree with you. I have no problem with dissent. But, people get overly vitriolic. That just pisses other posters off.

didn't Purdue just beat #22 Illinois? How about us kicking the crap out of Michigan State, aren't they 15th?

Remember Flutie is a BC guy and he will take the opportunity to rip us ever so slightly.

USF loss really hurts now they are standing on the break pedal.

Yes · Oct 22, 2011

Hope we come out pumped after halftime. Can't thank GAIII enough.

IrishLax · Oct 22, 2011

I just can't believe how we've abandoned the run. There is PLENTY of time left in this game. If we are lucky enough to get a stop here on this USC drive, we better start pounding the ball on the ground.

OlympiaIrishFan · Oct 22, 2011

Fan yes, but he was a BC Eagle. Kind of like saying I grew up a Florida Fan, but went to Florida State. Think about it.

HereComeTheIrish · Oct 22, 2011

I hope we come out it black with tartan trim in the second half....that would be hot.

Tmacvikesit · Oct 22, 2011

Also Air Force hung in with Boise State today...who is ranked 5th whether they deserve it or not.

We didn't really abandon it. I think we had to move quickly on the last drive. That's all.

Is it me or does the play calling seem iffy as well?

IrishChris209 · Oct 22, 2011

Why are they not playing GAIII in the offense?With all that speed?

tussin · Oct 22, 2011

Thought the play callling was fine. Not sure if we should've had Hendrix in there when we were down 2 scores with no momentum though.

Yeah, 2-minute drill.

It was extremely conservative for the vast majority of the first half. Kelly opened it up on the last drive.

Theo Riddick has played very well today.

I think it was fine....we just didn't execute early.
I think our guys just let nerves get to them...hopefully the GA3 return fixed that!

Cierre Wood.

Jonas Gray.

Irishman77 · Oct 22, 2011

I HOPE we see some offensive wrinkles utilizing the 9 guys not on Floyd. Clear him out and hit Wood on delay drags. Eifert presents a huge one on one mismatch. Rees has got to execute. This is the biggest half of football in years. COME ON IRISH LETS GO BABY!!!

dshans, i normally agree with you bu tthere is no such thing as oppressive censorship on a privage message board. Also if they just gave him a 1 day ban to take a cold shower and relax, then i am all for it.

Are they really ripping on ND's schedule (Purdue & Air Force)? F that.

Flutie didn't include BC with the weak?

He has been Riddickulous.

Riddickulous · Oct 22, 2011

Also, Prince Shembo is not an OLB. Move him inside as soon as Spond or Niklas is ready.

Because it takes a lot more than speed to be a good player.

Fair point. Just seemed to me that it was generic which is why I asked.

JughedJones · Oct 22, 2011

Why is George Stephanopoulos talking to us about the NFL?

Players playing well:
Ben Turk
Theo Riddick
Roby Toma
GAIII
Justin Utupo

Literally everyone else needs to step their game up to varying degrees. Missed tackles, no DL push against the run, shaky coaching/playcalling, lots of missed throws, etc.

WHy wouldn't they deserve it... I get they play a lesser schedule and that is why they aren't in the top three... but seriously, how many years in a row do they have to go 11 plus wins, WHILE beating OU, UGA, Oregon, VT and others before we just throw up our hands and say, yep, they belong as long as they don't stumble...

I can tell you striaght up, they have boat raced week in week out, many teams the same caliber of that which has beaten ND in upsets year after year....

Irishcop · Oct 22, 2011

i was on a call and missed it but are both usc running backs hurt?
