did you hear desmond howard ripping notre dame again?

"that 12-1 season really masks how bad Notre Dame really is; 8-4 the next year."

it just AMAZES me that NO ONE at least points out that we were 12-0 with a redshirt freshman QB, who would only be that much better the next year.

but, of course, we had to go with Tommy Ress, instead.

no one can AT LEAST MENTION this highly relevant fact??

at least mention that it just MIGHT have had something to do with last year, when despite playing with one of the worst QBs in major football, we still beat USC, ASU, and gave Michigan State their only loss of the season?

all pick at least 5 losses.

man do I want to stick it to them!

and then they talk about Kelly's lack of production on offense, vs his Cincy days. but again, they can't even think that maybe this has to do with a lack of weapons, and obviously the huge difference between Cincy's schedule, and Notre Dame's. and they can't possibly see that maybe they finally have more weapons?

it is just like ALL of the pundits picking South Carolina easily over Texas A&M. these guys have no clue how to predict what will happen during a new season - even though they have all of the data available to them.

 

[ndftbl]

and why does everyone keep saying FSU's game v ND is an "out of conference game," without at least mentioning that FSU had no option in this regard.

they admire them for "stepping out of conference" to play Notre Dame.

I really get tired of this ineptitude on the part of so-called experts. at least MENTION these relevant points.

 

[Buster Bluth]

Fuck Desmond Howard and ESPN. Turn the damn channel.

 

[ndftbl]

Just saw Desmond Howard on ESPN stating that the Natty game year masked ND's mediocre seasons.

Desmond is now labeled a Terrorist and un-American! He needs waterboarding. FM and FDH!

and NEVER, NEVER will he mention anything which mitigates his argument, e.g., no Golson last year, and no QB before 2012, either.

amazing.

man do I want to stick it to Desmond and Michigan this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[wizards8507]

You guys are too funny. Lou Holtz is Lou Holtz but you get all outraged when Desmond Howard acts like Desmond Howard.

But enough about Koon's panties, how is the weather?

Yup. I made the mistake of listening to what he had to say. Ten o'clock in the morning and almost broke the TV already. What a D- BAG. Fuck Michigan. Go Irish.

No soup for you.

 

[wizards8507]

Rice players to watch per Chalk Talk:

#1 Christian Covington, 6'3" 300 lbs DT
#29 Bryce Callahan, CB

Looks like their base defense is a kind of nickel hybrid. Their Cat position is a kind of cross between OLB and nickel DB so there are only two true LBs on the field at a given time.

 

[yankeehater]

Has there been a depth chart released for today's game?

Lou is gonna Lou. He's a homer. Desmond is just an idiot.

I hate ESPN in general but the Gameday crew is pretty good (except for senile Corso) unless they are evaluating the team they played for or a team they hate. In other words, they are homers, not idiots.

 

[ACamp1900]

NDs title game run masked their other mediocre seasons... No hope,

Rice 27- ND 17

Go Irish

We are ND fans. If we love or hate something, wait ten minutes.

Corso has actually been decent in past years but when it comes to ND hate on the ESPN networks Mark May is still the undisputed king, or queen however you want to look at it.

That is because he was pissed off watching ND play Michigan when he was a kid. Oh, I crack myself up!

 

[koonja]

Gameday chat people. You can say cock, balls, shit, and you don't have to say ear muffs.

 

[Bogtrotter07]

Was really impressed by the words of all four captains. Day was off the wall, but the others were remarkable, short, sweet, and to the point!


I really like this team!

 

[koonja]

HYFR gameday bitches!

For the record, I had no idea Steve Austin would be slamming beers on Gameday today. I'm a God damn prophet.

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

Who really picked Rice over us by 10?

 

[Cackalacky]

Just so everyone is clear, koon is hosting a live chat party.

I don't disagree with BK/ND criticism. We have not been a good team over BKs tenure. We have not averaged more than 33 points per season under BK.We have terrible losses to mediocre teams. 2012 was an abberation. I don't disagree a all.

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

Can 3:30 just get here already?

2 bowl wins, national championship appearance, 21 wins in the last two years.

He has not been great but he's been good. He has to be better than good the next two years, though.

I am referring to his whole tenure not just the last two years. Are we trending up? Sure. And I don't need to discuss how the stars aligned in 2012 for the Natty appearance.

I can't believe I spent $100 on a football jersey but oh well. #ProtectThisHouse
