I had no idea that ND hadn't allowed a rushing TD until Musberger said it 75 times.

The funny part about Herbie & Dumbie was that near the end of the game they were still not giving ND credit.

Thought this thread was going to be about Musberger's commentary on BK after the 2nd time out of the 2nd half: "Careful with that Irish temper".

They kept mentioning that Golson was a "freshman" and prone to turnovers, almost like they were begging for it.

I had to mute it in the first half, he goes overboard on his commentary, although I dont mind it when we have the lead haha

Brent's comment about Landry Jones (TJ knucklehead) reception in the first half cracked me up!

It honestly seemed like they were trying to jinx us, acting like the game was over in the 3rd quarter

This. I swear, every time they start touting these stats, it falls. They did the same thing when they said two weeks ago that the Irish were the only team not to trail all year.

Montay Te'o played a solid game.

If you watched the Onward Notre Dame documentary, the voiceover guy said "Tay-ow".

That is not to say it does not get annoying, but honestly everyone mispronounces his name, even after hearing it for hours, as this man obviously had.

I had no issue with the way that Brent or Herbie called the game honestly.

If you had told me that we were going to go into Norman and win with a QB that has been responsible for over eighty percent of our turnovers so far this year, then I would not have believed you, nor would I really take issue with it as Herbie was right to point it out.

And they constantly talked about how well ND was playing and how aggressive they were playing throughout the second half of the game, even on that 3rd down incompletion with about 3:30 left in the game.

And honestly, the more often that ND is on ABC, the better it means the program is doing.

I just loved the fact that NOBODY believed in ND going into this game and the team tuned out all the white noise and went into OU and just OWNED the Sooners.

Funny, but didn't he and "Herbie" have this conversation at the end of the Michigan State game?

Did you notice that Herbie said that ND had not been relevant before the MSU game and Brent called him on it by saying that ND is always relevant.

I think that Brent meant the same thing that Herbstreit alluded to after the MSU game...that now ND is relevant on a national level again, and has to be considered among the more elite teams of CFB.


And that is truer now than it was then, that is for sure.

Kelly seems to have finally settled in as the coach and has the team believing that they can accomplish anything they want, and that is the most astounding thing that I think he has done just in the last year.

I am so happy for these kids. They certainly are a TEAM and FAMILY. :)

It's called sensationalism. It's what sells. Whatever, just be glad we're on the right side of it for once!

I'm glad Herbie did mention that the holding call was legit a few times. I'll bet the Sooners fans got a tad bit more butthurt every time.

Man, I love all of you posters on here, but come one. Why are some of you so butt hurt about commentators every game? Whether it's Tom Hammond or Mike Mayock...blah blah blah. I LOVE when Brent and Herbie call college football games....especially ND. Usually Herbie talks well on ND and is very knowledgeable on the ND team.

I didn't think they were bad. I liked them personally. Although the guy who puts the names on TV wasn't so good. He put Te'o's name when showing Golsons stats and BJax had a 50 yard catch, not Chris Brown.

Regardless, some of you hate to much.

Reps. Thought they did a fine job. Their job isn't to pander to ND fans. Herbie was high on us the entire game anyway.

I don't think that the original thought was one of being butt hurt. I was simply pointing out an asinine comment. On the whole, I thought they did ok. That one comment....well, duh Brent. lol

In all honesty, I thought they did a good job. They were fair and honest about both teams. No problems at all with them tonight, did they bring up some issues with ND's team sure but they also gave plenty of praise and did the same for OU. It was fair and balanced commentating, I dont understand some of the gripes on this board about them, I really dont.

Dont worry. All season everytime comments are said like that, I knock on wood. My knuckles are swollen by the end of the game lol I believe in jinxes and ND hasn't lost since ive been compulsively knocking on wood.

I dont agree with this at all, they gave plenty of praise throughout the game and brought up valid points throughout the game. Like when Herb, mentioned that Golson was playing a flawless, smart game but he is a freshman and could make a big mistake at any time in such a hostile environment, I dont see this as a negative at Notre Dame, I see this is an honest assessment, that Golson is a Freshmen playing in a big time game and at times Freshmen make bonehead plays so its something to keep an eye on.

Weren't they also 'giving us' the MSU game wayyyyyy before it was over!? Seemed like they were doing the same thing last night. Almost like to set up a 'wow, we said this thing was over buuuut wait a minute' type drama in case it unfolds...

Herbie and Brent seem to go to the extremes which whoever was winning, in the beginning, Landry Jones was going to throw for 500 yards and they had us winning with 5 minutes left up 7. I didn't like the call last night.
