This is kind of interesting. The point of this thread has nothing to do with the state of ND football, Weis, the Syracuse game or anything else. We have been posting ad naseum about that for 2 plus days. The point was to say, "Hey, we still have a game versus USC to play and let's put aside all of what is going on and root hard for the team." It's an admittedly Pollyanna post. But you can't even do that without people commenting on how the team stinks etc. Yeah, I get all the problems the program has. But again, for this week I'm not going to sweat those problems. I'm going to root for ND to win versus USC. I'm not going to sit and sulk for a week about the state of the program. I can worry about that garbage after the season. I would like nothing better than ND to spoil USC's party.
I also need to stick up for the players a bit. Lack of results does not equal lack of caring or effort. We all want results, but sometimes they don't happen. But you can't tell me that a good percentage of this team is mailing it in. You think Kuntz is mailing it in? Tate? Did you see Brandon Walker after that missed kick? You think he doesn't care?
