I'll add that I've watched Stanford tons this year. They don't throttle anyone. They don't get out of the 20s on offense most weeks.

We had a 4th quarter lead and melted down for no earthly reason, but mainly because the offense sucked all game outside of two big plays. The lasts three games the offense has been as bad as it gets... main reason for regression is turning the ball over while not getting takeaways, and not moving the ball in a way that helps put the defense.

Kelly is the only coach who makes David Shaw look like Knute Rockne. He’s a disgrace.

They are slow, unathletic and have no playmakers. Most top ten teams would boat race this team. They are not good. They have a good RB and that’s about it. Their QB had 5 TD passes coming into tonight.



They have all the safeties and ND has none.

Imo, it was a fun season that ended on a low note.
I’m too old and have experienced too much to let some kids losing effect my life.

I’ll be back every game cheering my ass off, win or lose.

Can’t wait to hear the bullshlt that comes out of Kelly’s mouth after this one.

Decorated and watched x mas movies instead... figured ND would win and get into a game they'd get crushed in or lose and get into a game they have a punchers chance in...

Curious to see where we land in the bowls...

-Wake Forest was ND and Elko's North Carolina moment
-We are soft as f**k
-Only ND could regress so mightily
-I shudder thinking about how bad UGA would skullfuck us now
-Fire BK, he has peaked and it is time
-How the f**k can we not win in Palo Alto? It has to be the quietest and shittiest atmosphere in the P5 and we can't beat the smug faced ninja turtle
-Wimbush sucks and should never start another game for us

Saban played Hurts all game against Auburn and suffered the loss. He went with Hurts against Watson in the NC last year and lost.

You can’t win in college for long if you can’t pass. Wimbush can’t pass. Need to focus on Book’s development for next year.

If Saban can’t win with Hurts, no way BK wins with Wimbush
 

GATTACA!

Good attitude, I've been mostly there the past few years myself. It was the NC and Heisman hype that dialed it up. To another letdown. At the end of the day, it's not worth worrying about.

We were as high as 3rd in the CFP rankings at one point. Lost a one point game vs a very good Georgia team, and steamrolled everyone else, including a waxing of USC. Then, Miami pants'd us and we completely implode. Lucky to escape vs Navy (what else is new) and then shit the bed in the 4th vs Stanford.

A season with so much promise until cold water was dumped on us the last three games of the year. Back to reality.

And to beat all, Kelly did just enough to get himself another year. We have at least one more year of this garbage to look forward to.

I honestly would have preferred another 4-8 season. I would have never gotten invested in this team and BK would be gone.

If we can't beat Stanford what makes you think we can beat a team in a bowl game?

Defense lost the NC game for Bama. Hurts gave them the lead, ad couldn't hang on.

Kelly just can't do the little things right and it bites us in the ass in November:

-Inconsistent recruiting leads to positions groups with sub-par talent and/or depth

-Special teams, what's that?

-Too many sub-par coordinator and position coach hires that hold back the players. Also a lack of accountability based on results which leads to said coaches overstaying their welcome.

People will say you can't win at ND anymore, but personally I feel the the vast majority of our underachieving is linked to poor coaching hires. It's time to end this charade that Kelly is anything but a slightly improved Charlie Weiss and move on. Embarrassing.

There is no point in cheering for a team like ND if they can't handle the hype. I'm sore I thought kids came to a school like ND to compete for titles and Heismans?

I agree, A New Years 6 Bowl game would just be another blowout loss. Earlier on in the season I truly thought this was a different team. Nope, just the same old bull#$%@.

Just hope we can recover, get our shit together, and win the bowl. Even if it’s a shitty bowl 10 wins and a trophy is a good season. Let’s be honest this team doesn’t deserve the NY6. Just hope we can finish on a positive note.

Texas A&M regresses more and falls apart worse.

Crazy thing about losing in Palo Alto...everyone loses there.

They have beaten the last 7 or so top 10 teams to come into their house.

No, but investing too much for constant disappointment is too hearthbreaking. Kelly is probably getting 5 million per year, we are invested for free.

Man, and people called me a troll throughout the season (even during the highs) for saying that Kelly needs to go. It's one thing to question the coaching, but questioning fandom? Calm down.

This game turned on our inability to capitalize when we started at their 19 in the third quarter, and then two crap turnovers deep in our own end. Not sure whose “fault” that is - though pretty sure Wimbush needs to play better - but that was 18 points and the ballgame.
