In an interview like this one, he is presumed to be talking as a commentator, not an employee of Bama. Even at that point, the we could apply to Bama, not the collective conference. The whole we thing for SEC has been and continues to be incestuous.
Bad look for his legacy to be involved in back to back 4 loss seasons. That never happened to Leahy…
Especially when that the person saying "we" is referring to the school and conference that lobbied to get into the CFP last year, keeping out ND in the process.
Of course he's biased. Everybody on the planet expects him to be except for a handful of people in here. Lou was biased for ND during his broadcasting career. Everybody expected it. That you and a few others are surprised or bothered by it and making a big deal about it is the surprise. Saban coached at Bama for 17 years and is still employed there. You really don't think ESPN knew that and expected him not to still advocate for Alabama and the SEC? I think a few of you let the SEC live rent free in your heads too much and see everything as some vast ESPN/SEC conspiracy. Let it go.
I don't expect pro SEC talk here. I'm trying to get you to realize that you sound like a butthurt jilted 14-year-old girl whining constantly about another conference or opponent. It's weak. It's unseemly. It's the sort of shit a cellar dwelling also ran does, not what a blueblood does. Other fan bases around the country make fun of a segment of ND's fanbase for whining about others' success. FFS, even other ND fans here on IE have criticized fans like you for this sort of weak bs. You sound like bloody Gollum whining about "I hates Bagginses!" Win. Stop whining. Toughen the fuck up and stop blaming your team's problems on the SEC or anyone else. You sound like a fucking Auburn fan with all the crying and blaming and whining.
Anything to pass the time while we wait for actual football to be played haha
I hate the fact that the committee said they went back to watch week 1 of Miami and ND when they should have gone back to watch week 1 of bama getting raw dogged by a terrible FSU team. Tell me that team deserved to be in but ND didn’t. The SEC needs to come down from their high fucking tower and realize this isn’t the same college football landscape it was 10 years ago.
I'm not sticking up for Saban. I'm pointing out that the SEC isn't stopping ND from winning a championship and non-stop whining about the SEC, Saban, or any other entity and blaming them for your problems is weak as baby piss cut with Coors Lite. Some of your fans sound like Opie Taylor when he didn't win the race and whined about, "Them other boys got my medal." Stop it. Act like a blueblood instead of whining and blaming all your problems on ESPN, the CFBPC, the SEC, or anyone else. You're ND, FFS.
You were very unlikely to win a championship last year. You had a good record but a weak schedule and lost to your only top 10 opponent. We aren't the ones who voted you out of the playoffs. The committee did that. Surely by now you know I'm far from being anti ND. I like your program and generally pull for you, but the incessant whining and blaming everyone else for your shortcomings is not what I'd expect from a blueblood program. It's a VERY bad look.
Then act like fans of a blueblood program instead of fans of some 3rd tier program that's never won squat. Those sort of fans make excuses and blame everyone else for everything. Stop that shit. You should be embarrassed.
Nick's doing his job advocating for his school and conference. It's what he's supposed to do. It's what your guys are supposed to do. It's what Lou always did for ND. That's how it works.
