If this is how we match up against a team like USF...

[armyirish]

Wow guys. This is really, really, really disappointing. I am so bummed right now. And I am soo sick of Dayne Crist! Apparently GREAT in practice. TERRIBLE in games though, right? Come on, guys! (coaches included). You're too talented for this!

 

[BestBIrish47]

We need to come out...after the rain delay and hit them in the mouth. We played the worst half of football on O and ST in years and still have a shot. We need something good to happen, we never recovered from the fumble on our first drive. No more pitty parties...go out and earn your keep, this game id 4qtrs for a reason....good things happen when you stop feeling sorry for yourself...(end rant)

 

[Rudy89]

im scared for the rest of the season this could be ugly im worried thank god for beer.

 

[armyirish]

Okay... Anybody out there believe in curses?

 

[NDIrishlover3]

You can't place the blame on Crist... If anything, put down gray for completely letting down his teammates and allowing that fumble to happen

 

[ND_HAS_RISEN]

Okay... Anybody out there believe in curses?

^THIS^

It's the ONLY explanation...

Sorry but I guess we're still the same old underachieving Fighting Irish...

news flash I could have let this board in on three months ago...........

 

[Rudy89]

yep it doesnt seem like it will ever change, middle of the road all irish living on past glory days

 

[enrico514]

relax and support your team !

 

[Rudy89]

relax and support your team !

il never cheer for another team ever, but can you blame me for thinking this season will suck big time.

 

[armyirish]

I really, really hope the coaching staff is learning from this! Start Rees and run the ball more!

Come on... the first half and the points left off the board in the second half can't be put on Christ...

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

I am typically a pessimist but I still think this team is good. Even thought I probably have, I have never-EVER-witnessed a team make mistake after mistake in this magnitude.

I think they run the table or lose 1 more game after this fiasco. 11-1 or 10-2 is my prediction. I just feel that they are better than this.

Also, I have never EVER seen a worse punt returner in 1 sole game-- WHAT THE BUCK!!! add an 'F'

pull up your big boy pants and jump on board. Otherwise....well, I'm sure you know the drill.

Announcer feels clearing the field due to the weather is crazy. Really? So is getting struck by lightning. "No offense to the weather channel but I am getting tired of this". Dufus.

Jesus Lord.... Give me a break. Are you going to run on the field and give them orange slices and Hawaiian Punch too???? This is big time football. It's emotional.

There was a guy named Lou who used to get in their faces. He did okay. You gotta have thick skin to be a college athlete.

 

[kmoose]

Sorry but I guess we're still the same old underachieving Fighting Irish...

So I suppose you won't want to waste your time coming here and talking about them, then?

Don't let the door..........

Ok... he's never had to deal with young kids b4... has no clue how to deal with them... come on!!!

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

I actually love the fact that Kelly screams at them because as fans, that is what we are all doing in our heads or saying to our friends. They need to Wake the F up. I like that he demands perfection. Stop being little girls and play ball. I cant repaeat 95% of the stuff I was saying without insulting members who've attended ND but to sum it up-- for some reason I feel that ND is soft. I am not happy right now.

[JeremyND07]

Bottom line Kelly needs to go home and yell at himself in the mirror for 12 hours. We were NOT prepared to play football across the board!!! Head coach!!!!

 

[bert2834]

Really, HEAD COACH? He fumbled the ball on the 1? He threw the easiest pick I have ever seen? He didn't look for the football on a crossing route? He missed a FG?

 

[bert2834]

Notre Dame beat themselves in this game.

They couldn't have beat 22 of us on this day.


Shame on them.

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

Just be lucky that Kelly feels this is his most focused team "EVER"!
Could you imagine the number of mental and boneheaded plays otherwise?

 

[JeremyND07]

undiscipline = head coach...why are some many people on here giving him a free pass! I watched the WORST 1st half of football at ND I have ever seen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 7-5 tops

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

To be fair, the first half of the 07 GT game was much, much, much worse to watch.

Exaggerate much? Or did you eliminate the 2007-2009 seasons from your memory bank?
