Oct 4 | Stanford

[Martibhoy]

The whole defence were superb today. Feck it, see you in Dallas in January

 

[yankeeND]

Why is everyone saying that Mayock is bad? Isn't he commentating for the Stanford Television Network? Oh wait...

 

[Kaneyoufeelit]

Golson has some issues and these last 2 games show that but he has a lot of resilience. RB's too timid and and that Oline is bad. Elmer is bad right now and there is nothing else to say about that. 1/2 Golson and 1/2 Oline for this game. That's the simplistic version but true.

Yeah Elmer has been really disappointing. I saw him put on skates more than once tonight

 

[kzoondfi]

Yup, Shaw bitched about officiating. PAC 12 officials on the field, but not in the replay booth. Said he was disappointed with Robinson replay

Nothing phases him. Haha

Plus Oregon from Thursday..

True!

 

[Black Irish]

Seriously, fuck Mayock. Usually I think he does a decent job breaking everything down, but WTF was with him today? He was just awful. "I don't know if he got a facemask there..." 1 second later the video confirms he had all kinds of facemask. "No way did he catch that ball, this one is going to be overturned," despite the fact his hands were underneath it the whole time. What a putz, does he need glasses?

His bullshit in 2012 with the final play is why it's still talked about as a "controversy." Of course a ball carrier is going to make a final lunge at the end zone once the whistle has already sounded and the defense is celebrating! Mayock can go ahead and get Ebola next time we play Stanford at home.

Seriously, every game break the commentators were talking about the 2012 "controversy." Bullcrap. As much as I drink the green Kool Aid, I can be very objective and call a spade a spade. The Irish had that stop in 2012, the whistle blew, and Stanford was short of the goal line. Besides, that TD would have only tied the game, but it didn't matter, because Tree didn't get it. Get over it, Stanford.

Yup. There's also the fact that Stanford had 4 attempts to get it in convincingly from within the 5 and they were shut down. Shut. Down. We got our TD with a mutha f'in backup QB, no controversy. Suck it, Stanford!

Thecardboard meltdown is delicious

 

[Sureal]

Again so glad I was at a bar and ain't hear Mayock

 

[Black Irish]

Seriously, as up and down as this game was, it had to be one of the best game experiences I've had as an Irish fan in the past few years. Down to the wire, Irish win, I'm screaming like a banshee at the TV with my glass of bourbon clutched in my fist. Classic. I'll be talking about this all week.

 

[Sureal]

I am glad ND won the game but I gotta tell ya...the boys gotta stop giving it to the other team and nail the fundamentals in big games. Bottom line though a win is a win...

 

[ulukinatme]

Thecardboard meltdown is delicious

lol
This one might be my favorite:

I feel like I watched Mcconaughey Lincoln ads for nothing.

I can only imagine the lengths to which the refs are going to go on this drive to give ND the game.

They might actually start blocking for them.

We bi**ch about the officiating every time we lose a game. Am I the only one who thinks that is getting a little old?

I resisted complaining about the refs for years. But with ND, there is a long pattern, regardless of whether we are playing home or away. With other schools, there are bad calls both ways that could be argued affected the game.

That argument is just funny. Stanford's defense was legit, but hell...we shot ourselves in the foot a number of times. We gift wrapped them a TD on our own 10 yard line with the fumble. We gave up possible points with the INT at their goal line. We uncharacteristically botched TWO holds on make-able field goals. Stanford's offense was completely inept, as good as their defense was! The refs didn't win this game for us, Stanford was lucky to get their last score.

Oh, so that's an intentional grounding huh refs?

What a bunch of crooked Evil perpetrators.

Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Oh well.

This game was fixed and there is nothing that can convince me it wasn't. I hope we break up the rivalry with the Fighting Hunchbacks and never play them again.

ND has been called for one penalty, stanford has been called for eight

ND OL are holding, holding, HOLDING

How could we be holding when our OL was getting completely dominated in the interior?

Guys, I know we had some calls go against us, but we also played horribly on offense and didn't do enough on defense in the 4th quarter. We did not deserve to win that game.

That guy was probably the only level headed one.

 

[koonja]

Turn down for what!!!!

 

[NOLAIrish]

Yup. There's also the fact that Stanford had 4 attempts to get it in convincingly from within the 5 and they were shut down. Shut. Down. We got our TD with a mutha f'in backup QB, no controversy. Suck it, Stanford!

In fairness, I'm still a little salty about the Bush Push.

Maybe the PAC-12 refs feel responsible after they jobbed us on that one? They've done a pretty good job calling games with us since then.

Like considering officiating?

Because that was USC. Not Stanford.

 

[SoDakDomer]

Why is everyone saying that Mayock is bad? Isn't he commentating for the Stanford Television Network? Oh wait...

First couple years I thought he was good, but did somebody on the ND football team sleep with his wife or what? Holy shit he's a hater.

 

[Black Irish]

ND BEATS TREES!!! IRISH HULK SMASH TREE!!! GO IRISH!!!

 

[NDohio]

TIMBER!!

 

[NOLAIrish]

Like considering officiating?

Because that was USC. Not Stanford.

Oh, I know. Just the way we lost it. I was making a joke about the implication (more BlackIrish's post than the one I quoted) that it was time for Stanford to get over it.

Really, though, still a little salty.

 

[ulukinatme]

Another from that Cardinal board. This guy called it at halftime:

This thing is going to be won by whichever team strings together a miracle drive in the second half. If only we had some friends on the field...

Apparently they like to refer to us as "The University of Fake Dead Girlfriends." I expected a wittier monicker from Stanford fans.

 

[peoriairish]

So they banged a tutor, huh?

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

At the end of the game, I had my best dad moment ever. My 2.5 year old son and I were jumping up and down clapping. My nine month old was clapping in his high chair too. It was so incredible. Thank you ND Football! Go Irish!

This. Great post! Mayock was awful today.

Have some rep, awesome. My 2 year old son is mostly still a gibberish talker, but while I was at the Michigan game this year I guess he was glued to the TV and kept saying "Go Ish!" I loved the win, but it killed me that I wasn't there to see it.

There was another funny moment with my 3 year old daughter in that game though...she knew I was at the game and I always wear a #5 jersey. When she saw Everett take the field, she said "There's daddy!" Upon further inspection when they showed a closeup of him, she said "Oh...silly me....that's not daddy. He's just wearing daddy's shirt!" We all died laughing when we heard that over the speaker phone on the way home.

Why can't I start a new thread? I've done it before. I have a good one.
