**** him. We were a top 10 class throughout the second part of the year.
Dude just likes to bitch. F him.
Seriously. Across is not self-deprecating. He is just trying to restore his image becaus he loves message board attention like no other. That guy is either the most self-obsessed human beings I've ever encountered, or the ultimate troll.
Three things:
1) Fans need to root for their team. You don't have to sugar coat things, but you do have to take the bad with the good. Otherwise, you aren't a fan. Across is not a fan. He should just buy an Alabama jacket and get it over with.
2) He talks about himself like he is the Dos Equis guy. News flash, Across: if you are a known quantity on a internet message board...
3) He talks like he knows business. Has anyone called him out on the fact that he monumentally misjudged Kelly not only initially but throughout this rebuilding process. Across and Co. talk about things like accountability, improvement, tangible results, etc. But he would have fired the first coach to get ND to 12-0 at multiple points, even though Kelly was inheriting what was universally recognized as a deeply flawed roster. He treated every loss, bad call, and set-back like proof of his assumptions, as if it was just a given that Stoops or Meyer could have righted the ship any faster (by ND's rules). Kelly also beat their guy Stoops head-to-head with a first year QB and a depleted backfield. Across and Co. don't know what they are talking about. Not only their conclusion but--more importantly--
their analysis/process was totally flawed. It is time for them to SHUT THEIR FACES for the forseeable future. They know nothing more than any of us.
