Wimbush calls yet?

Might not be a bad idea. I am seeing shades of Wimbush in Book's first half performance. He seems to be rushing throws and not setting his feet. He also is panicking and leaving the pocket early. Not sure what is going on with him but totally different than the regular season.

You are so full of shit I can't sit here and read your BS anymore. ESPN showed their true hate for ND with the promo they put out having every CFP team on it and replacing ND with UCF. Done and over. Shut the fuck up about your shitty employer!

Lmao.

It IS Kelly's Fault.

There is a Forbes article about what these schools spend on football. Clemson, Bama, and Oklahoma have basically spent all future profits and better hope they keep winning. Clemson students pay extra tuition to cover the football team. So in some respects Kelly is driving a slower model car, and honestly, should ND spend the money other schools do?

 

[T-Boone]

I think the best thing that could happen to ND is that rules are changed so that players can enter the draft after 1 year or straight out of high school.

THEY WERE RIGHT. We're getting fucking slaughtered. You can't say "Herbstreit is such a shit analyst because he says Notre Dame is going to get blown up" if Notre Dame does, in fact, get blown up. That means he's actually a good analyst and us idiots in this board are just know-nothing homers.

I could give two shits about my employer. I work there because I like Disney benefits, they pay me good money, and I go home in time for dinner with the family. I'm so fucking sick of this allegation that I can't have an opinion because I drive to work in Bristol.

 

[SouthernIndianaNDFan]

Fucking wake up! A few bad calls, the refs! Haha ND does NOT belong here. They have a 3 star QB who looks good, not great, against lesser opponents. Look at the numbers for Tua and Kyler! They have like 100 TDs combined, our guy scored like 20 total, he's a 3 star, and they're elite, and the gap is ridiculously substantial. Sadly, this is as good as it gets for ND. They can't recruit much better given the academic restrictions, and that isn't gonna change. BK is essentially a low 4-star recruit of a coach, and Dabo is a stud 5-star, and again, the gap between them is astronomical.

He read too many stories in the media about Clemson’s DL lol.

 

[Sea Turtle]

The biggest reason I'm disappointed is ND hasnt necessarily been outplayed they've been outcoached. The offensive game plan has been terrible.

You're surprised ND doesn't have the best coaches? The best coaches don't want to come here and when we do get one, we allow them to get poached by schools like Texas A&M.

Kelly is a good coach. But he is outmatched by the best. And it's even worse the further down the chain of command you go.

 

[texbender]

D came out with a purpose and offense never delivered shit. They were going to score and we just needed some answers onnoffense. Never got em’

Agree. Offense had chances and didn't execute. D can only hang in for so long, and seems all bounces going CU way.

 

[ACamp1900]

Put it this way...our guys have been making incredible diving catches for 5-6 yard gains. Their dudes are making those catches forty yards downfield.

Id put it: that was a pretty evenly matched first half with a handful of huge fluke plays all going on way,... I didn’t see one team blow the others doors off.

 

[Irishize]

Nah, the fumbles, particularly the 2nd one...were big. The officials possibly took 3-7 points off the board on the first and certainly took points off the board on the 2nd one.

Great, so let’s say the booth agreed w/ BK & it was not conclusive...then it’s probably 23-6 & ND is still a laughing stock.

Not a fan of the guy, but he makes a valid point.

Man that last TD was a killer. Tilley ending his career just like it started with a dumbass play in a bowl game.

So how is ND proving the haters wrong?

I highly doubt you would say this nonsense if you were a fan of another team. Try to be an objective College football fan and not a homer "my team is greatest thing since slice bread" fan.

[AllGoldEverything]

To me..this is not all on Book. I don't think the gameplan has been favorable for him to get in a rhythm. Some of these playcalls have been bad.

I agree with your last paragraph.

 

[Kingbish01]

Fwiw... 377 guests viewing. One of my favorite things to do during the year is watch the other teams fans cry on message boards. Michigan this year was epic... So was Pitt. Looks like I'm not the only one that does that... Lol

But we know that won’t be the storyline. The storyline will be ND never belonged...ND must be force to join a conference...ND will forever be overrated....etc, etc.

Dumbass reply as I am not a homer at all but nice try.

Yes

 

[NEIIrish]

Losing love killed us. Hopefully we can get a turnover on this first drive and get some momentum.

Chip can kick rocks for all I care. But who would come to replace him that would be better? No one.

 

[dad4aa]

Irish Envy....the new NDNation.

 

[Circa]

If we are going to keep up and have a chance we just need to lower our standards and do what all of the other money mongering whores do.

It's on ESPN if you're looking for the channel.

lol you know your comment was idiotic so that's all you have to say?

Then you should not be so pissed off that ESPN doesn't pick ND for the big game?

 

[ickythump1225]

Stockholm syndrome the post

I'd swap Michigan out with Alabama and I'd agree with it. ESPN hates us, don't get me wrong, but they live for games like this. I mean what could be better than saying ND doesn't belong all year for controversy and ratings and then getting proven right in the end? They'd replay this season every year if they could.

 

[ThePiombino]

I'm just so tired of this program constantly taking one step forward and two steps back. Thank God for the early signing period, but kiss that elite 2020 class goodbye that those of you living in the clouds thought we were gonna land.
