How the hell are we supposed to beat Stanford minus two more starters. This is unbelievable the last two years.

Tonight was not coaching, good lord.

Okay it's just the players not doing their jobs again right...? If yes how many more times do u use that excuse? If you just want to win a bowl game like mike frank u should be happy. I expect more than this and think this was pathetic

Yes, the players did not do their job tonight. 5 f*ckin turnovers, 4 in the redzone, that's on the players.

Yes, yes, and yes

I kept saying this but nobody wants to listen. You can't play like this and beat better teams. The one better team we played, we lost to. This performace does not constitute the #4 ranking we have. I'll take it and eat but it's not as good as some want to make it.

I bit my tongue last week after a fairly poor offensive performace and this week it got worse. Kizer was terrible, Fuller's struggles come up again, and we're supposed to beat the best teams in the country, really?

Clemson is sitting at number 1 over Alabama and OSU with a 3 point win at 6-5 Louisville, a close win at home against a 3-8 Syracuse and beat Wake Forest at home today by a point less than we did while also playing 2 FCS schools. Whine about our team all you want, but a good team finds a way to win on bad days. BC has one of the top defenses in the country and we went on the road (not a home game to me) and beat them. We still have a very strong case for being in the playoffs. Iowa may or may not jump us and if they win out and win the B1G they should, but there is no way MSU or Oklahoma should based off what the committee has been saying.

Isn't this the most ND has won in two decades?????? God what were we settling for then?

They want to be Alabama. They don't understand that no one is Alabama but Alabama. In terms of support from the adminstration, in terms of recruiting, in terms of academic standards, in terms of having one of the greatest coaches in CFB history, and in terms of shady bagmen. Alabama is a perfect storm of "holy shit that's a semi-pro team" that ND will never be with their refusal to put the football team in front of the school.

We won in November while playing sloppy. People need to get some perspective.

Again . If all u want is this ...relax and enjoy.

How are u alive after those 20 years?

I think every fan of every team wants a championship....DUH

But a team who is now down 8 starters, is top 5 with 10 wins.

Tonight's ugly win doesn't have me in fire people mode. Sure hope u aren't anyone's boss.....

Yep all crimes committed by kids have nothing to do with parenting. If this was once twice or five times I would agree. Tonight is a symptom of a bigger problem and it is time for some coaches to draw a line in the sand and change this if they suck it's okay to suck mentality. If they don't know how then it's time to leave.

No reason to take personal shots.

Oh sh*t guys, did you hear that? BK hasn't drawn a line in the sand. Well now I get why you're so upset. I mean, BK has some sand. He's got a stick. Dude isn't drawing any lines. If he did, I'm sure the team would understand completely and step up 100%.




Yeah you're just posting nonsense now.

And good parents have criminal kids because some do what they want.

Not sure how it correlates to fumbling?

It's either hold on to football or don't. To think this staff has never discussed ball security or ran a ball security drill would be ludicrous. They can't hold the football for them.

You, and that Eifert guy, ruined my game day thread viewing experience tonight. I've never put anyone on ignore but I'm going to give it serious consideration before next Saturday's game.

Lol you know in joking.
But something needs to be changed. This is three years in a row of a ton of injuries by the last game of the season:

Our injuries seem much as in OSU's did last sea soon.

U sir are settling for less. When a team with this much talent plays down to the armpit of college football and hasn't blown a team out in a decade need to realize the coaches need to go saban and take care of business for once.

We are a top 4 team but may not get a chance due to top 25 coaching.

Tonight was not coaching, good lord.

I believe that was the point I was making. Thanks KPENN.

Says the guy calling for people to get fired......

Sorry I upset u bud. Are u a positional coach for nd? If so I apolagize for the personal shot at your shitty performance. If not this is a forum where many criticize. U on the other hand made a direct attack on me. No big deal...I like your posts.

Geez. That was harsh. Just kidding. I don't care. Again, I stated in the thread that I thought that was the whole point of the game day threads. I am largely positive on here except for the games. I read all kind of crap on here during the week that is negative as fvck but don't comment because it is an online forum. On a side note, unfortunately I have little faith we will win next week so I probably won't be as wound up. Don't get me wrong. I sure hope we do. Sorry I expected more out of this team the last two weeks. They played miserably tonight and consequently I wasn't all that peachy in the thread. It may go back to my background but I can't stand the lack of focus and lethargic play.

I'm just so disappointed that the team didn't have more killer instinct. They had every opportunity to blow the game open. Then after fucking that up we still should've won 26-9... but Fuller has his third drop and our defense plays comically bad.

At 19-16 you give tons of fuel to ND getting left out of playoffs that doesn't exist at 26-9... much less 42-0 which would've been a realistic score considering WEHAD SEVEN RED ZONE TRIPS.

Even worse you lose KVR and Prosise. These injuries are ridiculous.

Is your name Adam?
