Haha, at least lie better.
You're a member of NDNation AND IrishEnvy. I find it difficult to believe that you had no prior feelings on ND, or its current state of underwhelming mediocrity (or even worse, if we're being honest about the 4-8 record). The type of passion that warrants usernames on two prominent ND football message boards and the constant bitchassness that you display at every opportunity doesn't develop over three years. Your ass has been sore for a while, I'd reckon.
Your rhetoric fits remarkably well with Across and the rest of the overly-negative lemmings over at the other site.
Maybe just... stay there?
These are all evidence-free assertions. Nobody in my family went to ND nor were ND fans and I'm not from SB. I was certainly not an ND fan before coming to ND for grad school. The only ND games I watched
in my entire life before coming to ND for grad school were the 2005 USC game and the 2013 NC game (first half only). You don't have to believe me; I can't "prove" this, but of course if I was this psychopathic lunatic why did I only join IE when I came here for grad school? Could the Russians be involved in this conspiracy?
My early posts here were about other sports and about politics. They were not about football.
I was certainly not anti-Kelly at all. I defended Kelly following the Clemson game, for example:
Yeah, but when analyzing a tight game where any number of plays (if they had gone differently) would have changed the outcome, you need to look at the plays that are the "easiest" to fix; the plays that should not go wrong. Those are basically the turnovers and missed tackles. Even if the decision to go for two when down twelve was wrong, and even if the play call on the two-point attempt at the end of the game was wrong, those were not "obvious" plays at all. If we had the same number of turnovers as Clemson, we almost certainly win. Simple as that.
The BC game at the end of the 2015 season began to break me vis-a-vis Kelly. Other familiar posters reassured me, though, that "feelings" didn't count and that "10-1 is 10-1":
Good thing games are decided by feelings.
Didn't know style points counted on the scoreboard. 10-1 is 10-1. Good teams find a way to win on bad days.
(Of course, we dropped from 4 to 6 in the CFP rankings following that win, so I guess "feelings" and "style points" do count in the eyes of people who matter.)
After the Stanford game and subsequent BVG retention, and then the predictable Texas debacle (which was principally on the defense) I moved to an anti-Kelly position. Nothing that has happened since then has changed my view.
