Notre Dame Post Mortem Thread...

[Scooch]

Let’s not only focus on the final score. There’s some incredible stats from today.

We ran 80 offensive plays and gained 207 yards. That’s an astounding 2.58 yards per play!

Our defense, who was on the field for 18 minutes (so they must have been totally exhausted), gave up 396 yards on 39 plays. 10.15 yards per play!!!

This is some craaaaazy sh!!.t. I can’t wait for both coordinators to be back next season!

Upside: we didn't lose by triple-digits.

 

[BKCuse]

Mac lost to Nebraska 7-63 in Lincoln in 83. We beat #1 Nebraska 14-9 in the Dome in 84. We play ND in the Dome next year. Can history repeat?

Thought I heard chatter that game may go away

You know that 30 seconds of bliss you get right before the lights go out

Yep, when the Propofol hits I always think “ man, Michael Jackson knew what he was talking about.”

Had my final one this Spring, and have now reached the age when I never have to have one again. Won’t remotely miss the prep but will always fondly remember the few seconds of Propofol.

Those who predicted six wins. HA.

the afternoon hangover sucks, though.

I never got a hangover from Propofol. In the old days if the Valium/Demerol combo, I didn’t even know what planet I was on later

The real bowl game was in our hearts all along.

 

[Hawknate2]

As a person who didn’t watch the game, because what’s was the point, how on earth did we give up 70 points and less than 400 yards? That math doesn’t seem possible. M
Yikes

Multiple Pick 6s, good field position due to a non-existent offense, and a blocked punt.

Miami fans are pissed at Fran for making Notre Dame look like 2001 Miami.

 

[Vorony]

I’m pretty sure I read on this board this week that no Fran Brown coached team has ever quit. And it was foolish to think that it could happen. Welllll… just awful all around.

 

[David321]

I can't help but to think that this will have a negative impact on recruiting.

 

[StCuse315]

Hey, silver lining is a better first round pick next year

 

[Orangello]

Fran got punked today plain and simple.

 

[Irt4su]

Damn refs

Fran talking to Matt Park after the game:

"Steve Angeli is ahead of schedule, and the portal opens in a few weeks."

 

[syrBossHogg]

The basketball team can't do worse against a top team right? right?

 

[Dick_in_MI]

I feel bad for Joe. He looks like he’s about 15 years old.

While we’re on the subject, we’re all ripping Fran, but shouldn’t Gary Gait have been recruiting us a better quarterback? He really needs to shoulder a lot of the blame.

Surrrrre he is, Fran. Sure he is.

 

[tbonezone]

think the irish fans are pissed they lost the shut out ?

 

[IthacaMatt]

Well, what's unfortunate is that the team has just collapsed. Once Rickie Collins showed that he wasn't up to it, and apparently Carney and his parents declined to take the opportunity, in order to preserve an extra year of eligibility, then we were kind of toast.

But when the poop has hit the fan with key injuries to past teams, we adapted better than we have under Fran and his crew. It feels like the coaches kind of gave up on the season with some of the decisions they've made these past few weeks. I think they could have managed all of this better.

 

[OburgOrange]

ND had zero possessions, zero yards in the first 5 minutes, and was leading 21-0

 

[SURules]

We are the worst team in college football and I’m not joking. How the heck did it get this bad? This is way more than just losing Angeli.

Seems to me that the problem is that this coaching staff didn't really have a "Plan B" if we couldn't play the way we wanted / intended to.
