Have I missed something? Has USC learned to tackle? Until they show they have a defense with a pulse (Pyne was 23-36 318 3TD's and 1 INT) I refuse to count this game as a loss, it's 50/50 for me rn.
Toughest to easiest- Clemson, OSU, U$C.
I'd contend the defenses on those two teams were the main reason ND went to the playoffs, along w/ a great run game. QB play was just efficient enough. Now, with that being said, that's the same situation that Bama will be in this year. great defense and good to possibly great RB's.
They only react to the almighty $. If we fan’s really wanted to REALLY stop this train we’d stop watching on TV, stop buying team gear, and stop attending games. Unfortunately, that will never happen, and the TV execs and conferences know it.
Wish nothing but the best to Balis and hope the family issue is resolved quickly. That said at least he waited until the the season started. My main hope is he gave MF enought of a heads up that he's been working on a replacement and we can get someone in that role before the season starts.
Possible saving grace here is it seems like scUM is bogging down w/ their current class. I know they were expecting a 3 or 4 commits coming from a weekend a few weeks back and no commitments have happened yet. So let's hope this is the last hurdle ND has to get past.
This deal will be a tell-tale sign if ND is really all in w/ Coach MF or just paying lip service to it's fans. If you're all in you make the switch to Nike, end of story.
Upset regarding the whole optics of the hiring situation (whatta shit show), disappointed in ND's hiring process/execution, and apathetic in Parker being the new OC play caller.
