Driskell is literally telling people they can’t discuss ANYTHING but football now that the season has started.
Someone posted a folk music video thread & Driskell locked it and told the board that he allowed them to discuss other things during the off-season, but now the season is starting they can no longer discuss anything but football.

A few thoughts on this…

1) When he started his site, his biggest sales pitch was that he was not censoring anyone, and as long as it didn’t cross any obvious lines, people could say what they wanted.
He literally said that the way BGI controlled & censored him was the biggest reason he created his own site. He told BGI (Rivals back then), 247 II, ISD, subscribers that if they came to his site they wouldn’t be censored like at the other sites.

2) So he arbitrarily decides when football season starts? What actually happened is, he doesn’t want anyone ignoring him. He wants all the attention. He gets really butthurt when he puts out, what he feels is a genius football opinion, and nobody cares & posts about other things.

3) He is such a hypocritical baby.

From his short post, it’s obvious that his favourite short phrase is “football season”

You figured #3 out now? Does he have your CC on Auto-Renew? For me, with BD's unquestioned genius and my obvious stupidity our bromance was not going to last long. My CC thanked me for the break up later......

BTW, so #18 or so would be like an 8 or 9 win season??? So if they win 10 games and are 10 - 2 would that be likely Top 10 prior to Bowl??

I think they will win 9.5 games then...LOL I think they end up Top 12 or so.

In defense, I know the worldview of a lot of his readers and I’m not particularly keen on hearing their thoughts on anything non-football related either.

Listen to his full show, then listen to his comments about teams he has ranked above ND. It makes no sense.
He says the exact same thing about other teams, who were worse last year, and lost more players, with unproven coaches, but put them above ND.
For example, OU. They were dogshit last year, under .500, didn’t upgrade anywhere, unproven HC who was really bad in year 1 last year, but Klatt ranks them ahead of ND?

It’s just a bad preseason ranking by Klatt this year. He has a lot of B1G & Big12 teams higher than they should be because that’s who he covers.

I don't need to do the first part to tell you the second part, but thanks anyway for the suggestion. I'm a hard pass.

Listening to Mike Singer on BGI acting like a clown for disagreeing with a Tim Hyde take. Rather humorous.

Yep.
I’ve said until I’m blue in the face, give me ND’s team, but with “that guy” at QB and they can win a title.
I’ve heard multiple analysts say that if you swap Lawrence & Book in 2018, ND wins that game.

In 1992 I heard multiple people say that the Trailblazers would have beaten the Bulls if you swapped Terry Porter with Michael Jordan.

Bryan Driskell? The man who embarrassed BK so much with sheer football knowledge that he took his famuhlee down to the Bayou?

The best was in yesterday’s show about ND’s schedule this year, he kept referring to past ND schedules as “Brian Kelly schedule’s” as if it wasn’t ND, but Brian Kelly.
Of course they deleted the post saying that it’s a ND schedule, not BK, they BK didn’t make the schedule or determine how good USC would be in the future.

A recent Irish Illustrated podcast was taking clear shots at Driskell when they kept saying that not every player is a "dog"...even though other sites might maintain that.
