We'll see, the backup made some plays for sure but he showed some questionable decision-making too
IIRC, they used to not be able to count towards bowl eligibility. But now, of course; there’s tons more bowl games & they need participants.
That’s the first thing that jumped to mind when IU was announced. Cook that MFer
Georgia didn’t even trust him to make reads. There was a play with WR motion from the weakside to the strong. Nobody came with him and Georgia still ran the ball to the weak side, only now at a numbers disadvantage. The QB had no authority to change out of a doomed play.
Should have, but they had a BIG team's AD (meatchicken's) on as the head of the committee, so he needed to protect (prop up) the integrity of the BIG seeding-wise. WHY did SMU fall behind IU? SMU was ranked ahead of and then fell behind IU just because they lost on a game ending FG in a championship game!? I thought that fatass (meatchicken's AD) said before that teams playing in their conf. championships wouldn't be penalized for playing that game?!? SMU should be coming to ND to play!
I’m disappointed it’s not going viral. Someone has to make that happen.
We all got trolled for being wrong before the inevitable was announced. My cynicism has calloused over the past 3 decades of disdain from the media/public for my beloved Irish.
Yeah but it goes both ways. Teams are going to be more prepared for his running ability. It's hard to definitively say if Georgia is better without Beck
Yeah, that was the point last night. About the only thing that garners unanimous agreement on this thread is that ND deserved to be seeded above PSU. Too many Charlie Browns still believing Lucy won’t pull the ball away at the last moment…LOL
And it will be hard for ND to know which qb to prepare for.
On another note, Freeman looked pissed on that video of the team upon their announcement. I hope he & the team are just that..pissed
I was a little nervous because Freeman has been making the media rounds this past week and everyone has been telling him how well ND's been playing since NIU.
More motivation for the team. And they feed off of that
Not really, they treated all three conferences pretty equally. Penn State and Texas both dropped, just not far enough. SMU dropped too but still stayed ahead of Clemson
What'd he say?
Here to pick you up on this glorious Sunday. We are actually dominate off of extra time to prepare under Freeman.
The problem with what Kirk was saying is these are "kids" not grown men playing a game that is their job. How many people before the season had Army as our best win and U$C/F$U combining for 8 wins? Heck ASU was picked last in the Big XII this year and just won it...before the season games against them looked like gimme's. The transfer portal and NIL make this 100x harder. The funny part is this all became a significant problem in the early 90's with the rise of super conferences and championship games. Play a 12 game regular season and have no conference contain more than 10 teams - that way everyone plays everyone else within the conference and the best record wins and gets the bid.
He said he likes the big out of conference games but that this result will incentivize teams or even the conference commissioner to outright cancel any games with a tough out of conference opponents. That is bad for notre dame as they have multiple games scheduled with sec opponents. That’s wonderful that he likes the games, but he is telling everyone what he thinks they SHOULD do
No, he was trying to tell the committee to make a different decision so teams DON'T do this.
