Did you read the article or just respond reflexively?

What does me reading the article have anything to do with YOUR obsession with the man?

If you hate the guy, why do you share stuff about him? Why do you give him clicks? You know any publicity is good publicity, especially when it comes to something like articles, correct? Every click they get generates attention/revenue to their articles and website.

If you truly don't respect Driskell, don't talk about or read his shit.

I don't like Driskell, I don't read Driskell's stuff. It's not a complicated concept.

While I agree with this sentiment and I don't often interject myself into this thread or the discussions on the beat writers, isn't the purpose of this thread to point out the things they do?

It is the point of this thread; my post was more about his spamming of this entire site with the same posts, like an algorithm, talking about Driskell, ND being a top25 vs a top 10 program, etc. on repeat.

So, I was merely asking him what his obsession was with the man who he apparently dislikes, but can't stop talking about.

I think you are more obsessed about me on Driskell then me concerned with Driskell itself. LOL. Yes goofing on the talking heads is what this thread is about. You don't have to read it and get your panties all moist.

I guess I made it a personal vendetta when you started PM'ing me asking if I had met certain posters on here, in a search to figure out whether or not they were Driskell. Because that's really healthy behavior....

Is there a national narrative that ND is struggling to recruit under Freeman?? Or is that invented for this article? I’m honestly not aware

I think the narrative is that Freeman was hired to bring in top 5 classes and in his first year brough in a class ranked similarly to Kelly's last few classes.

More of a "ND could have gotten a better coach, but chose the ace recruiter, who is now showing maybe he can't recruit to the level they thought"

Ahh yes "We are shopping down a different aisle"

While it might be better, its certainly not a different aisle. Its not gap closing. Its not Championship level recruiting. It is what it is. Its good for ND.

Thank you for your personal vendetta. But I didn't ban you from website after taking your money and talk down to your posts like Driskell did. Driskell gets criticized because he deserves it. I am not nearly the only poster he has been a complete jackass too so forgive me if I goof on him. Its fucking deserved.

Haven't you found an LSU site willing to take you by now?

I root for both ND and LSU. I like Kelly and Freeman. I suppose that is not supposed to happen.

I guess its important to love Freeman unquestioningly and despise Kelly without end.

I admittedly don't usually agree with many of your takes, but I am on board with this one. I root for both ND and LSU also, also Vanderbilt and Duke. I appreciate what Kelly, Lea, and Elko did for our program. I think all three left their jobs in a better position than when they got to South Bend. For that I am grateful. I have no hard feelings about Coach Kelly at all. Can't say I wouldn't have taken the LSU job in his shoes either.

I like him. Think he brought ND back to respectability and close to a NC. He put in the work and took us as far as he could, though his offense did get boring. I obviously root for ND first and foremost and I’ll root for Kelly in the SEC.
