Two score win at night at a mid level big ten team. That’s a decent result. Outside of Bama and Clemson ND is as good as anyone. This is BK’s ceiling so enjoy it.
Can’t wait for the wolfs to jump Nd. Despite the win and the fact that they beat northwestern by 3. Espn’s Perception right now is Michigan by 30 if they played Nd again
You are about fsu. But usc will be tough. I wouldn’t be shocked if FSU showed up. Syracuse will be exactly like northwestern was. Minus a blocked punt Nd should win by 2/3 scores. Nd might win out. Just mentally prepare for a blood bath against Bama.
I love yall, but goddam this thread during games. Spoiler please don't stop. i love reading everything after the game
Such a bunch of emo boyz during the game. Nd is 9-0 and a good team. Again, this is BKs ceiling. Enjoy this. Jizz to this.
That one will sting them, just wish it was a better score. Should’ve been more of a bloodbath. Oh well. Cheers boys, 9-0
This is college football...generally it is hard to win at night on the road against capable teams. I'd be willing to bet Clemson will have a similar game to this next weekend
All this talk about this Kelly's ceiling...idk, i think it would take an "epic" season to win it all. Can we win it this year? Never say never, but I just can't see anyone beating Bama. I just don't think we can roll everyone en route to the playoff. If this is Kelly's ceiling, then sign me up. Whenever I get super pissed during a ND game, I just say "David Wolke" and things even out a bit.
Kelly’s ceiling is a lot higher if he is willing to cut ties with his buddies and hire the best coaches around . I just don’t believe he can do it. Dabo swinney did that, dabo is mildly retarded and winning at Clemson. Kelly is a much better representative but he seems to have a hard time letting go of his friends. Understandable but detrimental.
No penalties by Northwestern was a joke. The holding was criminal. They got about every break possible in that game and still lost by 10 to us. Ridiculous.
I would certainly agree, esp. re: Quinn. I was cautiously optimistic regarding that hire, but I just don't know. I guess my main point is that we're complaining about games like tonight when so much of the Davie/Willingham/Weis era was just...not good.
I've also pivoted from wanting to chuck things when the Wings lose G7 of the Finals to wanting to do the same for november ND games.
Right there with you, the line is ok. Still too early to say because all of them were also coached by hiestand. My greatest fear is that we will find out how bad Quinn is next year and the one after ala Bvg. That can kill a season. But I am not panicking and maybe Quinn is very good.
ND spotted Northwestern two turnovers, and 60+ yards of penalties on the road and still covered That’s an extremely good win Fuck off everone
Sidenote Northwestern beats 99.8% of NCAA D1 teams with those same advantages ND fucking covered in November It’s a good fucking win
Alabama was favored by 14 at the toughest road environment in the country against the #3 team in the country, and that was not enough. Let's give up man
ND not winning the title but will be cool to shut everyone the fuck up about needing to be in a conference to make Cfp So ya keep winning
Btw. Ryan Field is an absolute pit. Our Uber black was almost to luxurious and now we are waiting on food after ND went 9-0. Good day, today is good.
I think it was IrishLAX2 that told me this weeks ago, no need to worry about other teams. Nd wins out Nd is in. If not Nd is out. If not I am not even sure I would want Nd to be in.. (that last part is me)
They are a mess, their coaches are already fired and they know it. Talking about hiring jack del rio, that would be so great. Time sure flies by, I remember starting my shitposting when sc was pretty much a dream team and unbeatable
Experience at Ryan Field was a joke. They weren’t prepared for that stadium to be filled to capacity at all. You could feel the staff’s anxiety because they didn’t know what the hell to do. Fuck the Michigan revenge tour - ND currently has the superior revenge tour running right now. So tired of hearing that phrase on ESPN. The final score wasn’t indicative at all of how much better ND was.
