Go shopping with the fam.
Decide don't need to see the game because as long as we didn't get blown out we're in.
Ughh

Agreed.

The problem is how in the hell do you close this Dabo/Saban gap? Not only us. But the whole damn country. The only answer is Urban Meyer. And well, that won’t happen for a million reason. So. We’re f’ed.

The problem is the playoffs. How many titles does Miami win in the 80's and 90's with a playoff format? 10? 11?

This is what the fucking media wanted for so long and now they got it. The same fucking three teams plus a wildcard every year.

Well, Directtv took ABC off of their network in my area & I have tried to find the game streaming online with no luck. I can’t pay $65 to watch the game and that was the only option I found. Sounds like the Irish are not playing well and the game is ugly, so I guess I am proud I didn’t spend that $65 to end up being sick.
I am afraid that the committee will find a way to push ND out of the playoffs if they lose this game. I sure would love a story book ending that saw ND vs. Clemson part 3 and ND winning. Then go on a step further and beat the mighty semi-pro team alabama! I am just afraid that is not going to happen because usually ND is put in games because of the crowd they bring. This year that point is moot.

Dude, use locast.org. Free local online programming.

Lenzy can’t get on the field. Coaches choice or hamstring still not there?

So those calling for Book to just toss it up, we've seen it twice in two plays. Neither worked, but at least we got bailed out. The PI wasn't bad at all IMO. DB had his head around, and there was mutual hands.

Yeah, Book isn’t really doing anything ‘wrong’ there just aren’t any opportunities to actually try some 50/50 balls. Book is not going to be the reason we lose. He also
Might not be the reason we win. He’s consistent. He consistently doesn’t make ‘mistakes’

BK is a part of the blame. I mean he’s the HC. But he doesn’t deserve to lose his job. You got Lea w/ one foot out the door. Losing Patterson which turns a Joe Moore Award worthy OL into a non-factor. An always shaky secondary that finally got exposed. Rees has a bright future but he was clearly out-classed tonight.

ND needs to relocate to Atlanta...LOL

Nope, not ATL lol. Give me SW Florida. How about Naples? That's where I hope to grow old.

Game plan, game prep, play calling, and adjustments were all super lame tonight.

I agree Paterson out hurt, but the OL has been getting worked, and it's not just the absence of Patterson.

A playoff is 1000 times better at determining a champion than the BCS.

Law of averages would suggest Alabama and Clemson can’t be good forever. Even when recruiting at the clip they both do it doesn’t make sense they never miss.

Ultimately, those top three programs are doing something different then everyone else in college football, and it probably isn’t all within the rules.

Notre Dame is the Buffalo Bills of the nineties. Good teams that just fold in the big games.

Fire the entire staff and bring in Urban Meyer. How can anyone defend 30+ point losses any longer.

Yep. That just doesn’t cut it against the elite teams.

Agreed. Less "big time" players and more big time players.

But who? We’ve been talking about this for years, any new coach will have the same restrictions. So yea gotta recruit better but how? I don’t see it.

That jet sweep ain’t fooling anyone anymore. I’d be surprised if he ever gets healthy enough to see the field. He’s just not durable enough to catch passes in the middle of the field and absorb the hits.

I genuinely believe ND can recruit better. I really do. They've proven so.

Won’t happen but at this point the only option I see is ND will have to sell its soul. Hire a Meyer and have 10 “exceptions” each year. Is that going to happen? No, but at this point what option is there?
