Dino Babers stepping up to the podium momentarily for his weekly news conference. We'll have updates here.

Dino: No update on Dungey. Don't know he'll be available for BC game. Hopeful he will be.

Dino: Dungey, Dino and DeVito were in the hot tub talking about the game on Sunday. Dungey even got into the hot tub by himself, Dino said, with a smile.

Dino: BC is a fantastic football team. One of the most physical teams in the conference.

Dino: We're not even thinking about a bowl game. That's how you get knocked out in a fight. This is a big game. This is not a freebie.

Dino: ND loss is just what happens when your team moves through stages.

OttoInGrotto - Babers said BC plays like a team out of the 1950s or 1960s. I think he meant it as a compliment?

I find this hilarious

Not sure what that means. Any ideas?

This wasn’t a hot tub time machine by any chance was it?

I'm really proud to be a fan and alum of a school that hired this guy. His description of what happened on Sat was great.

 

[JRHEETER]

God I love that man.

If you watch the whole thing - he was saying it's just a growth thing. He and the staff feel like they are ahead of schedule - but you need to go through some experiences to learn how to take advantage of them. Used the idea that last year we lost a bunch of close games, this year we're winning them. The program is growing though some stages.

Basically, be patient - we're a work in progress.

How can anyone watch a Dino PC and not love him?

We're not a CFP team yet. The goal is to get there.

 

[orangepassion]

If you listen to beginning of Dazzler PC, you can hear how much respect he has for Dungey. Man-Crush respect.

Awesome.

Translation: "I'm not going anywhere. This is where I'll retire. We're on the verge of building an incredible football program from top to bottom. Going to be a fun ride."

Interesting tidbit about how this years 2nd half success has a bearing on 2018 recruiting. I think Dino feels good about a couple of imminent commitments

Maybe. Or just a seasoned coach who is very good at dealing with the media. Nobody knows but Dino and his agent. In a week or so when there are suitors and at the end of 2019 and only then will this question be answered. Love your outlook but impossible to know at this point or even moving forward for another year or so. And yes I am enjoying the ride but nobody can speak with 100% confidence where Dino will be in a few weeks or a year from now.

 

[JeffCuse]

Interesting when he was asked (paraphrase): "Seemed like when you would adjust your play at the line, ND would immediately make adjustments to perfectly counter yours...is there something they did that you think other teams could learn from? And do you think you can fix it?"

Dino answered "Yes" and then intimated he could give a more technical answer but not in a press conference

Yeah. This made me wonder.

 

[Cusester]

After watching Dino's press conference, Notre Dame can have the victory on Saturday. They are stuck with Kelly while we have the real prize working for us!

Could be true, nobody knows. We of all people should know not to talk in absolutes.

Thumbs in eyes and leg whips for everyone...Merry Christmas.

It means we're not quite there yet, meaning we are not mature enough in the process of the rebuild where we can expect to play with and beat a team like that consistently especially on that type of big stage.

 

[SkyTopBus44]

All that stuff about the seniors coming back and being there for the next key moment was so good to hear. Really think Dino is here for several years

 

[SmilinBob]

Well that would help explain the 50's 60's reference.
