Lets talk PSU

I'm nervous about the level of confidence among the ND fans. We won't be playing IU 3 stars or a backup qb+OT tomorrow.

100%. I am in no way shape or form confident that this game will be an easy win or even just win it. I am dead worried about all of our injuries finally catching up to us in this one.

Today's Orange Bowl press conference

I think it’s ridiculous to mention that everyone should be in a conference. He said something about it being a challenge for the committee. No, it’s really not. ND is still playing 8-10 Power 4 opponents. What more do you want?

It’s not ND’s fault that these conferences all expanded to a ridiculous 16-18 teams out of greed and then kept the conference championships so they can make more money. My guess is that, if PSU were still independent, he would not be making that argument.

Conference championships will occasionally hurt a team. They will occasionally help a team. You take the good with the bad. This was your choice. Just cancel your conference championship and do split conference titles or some other way to award it. Don’t then cry because a team like Clemson jumped you though because Clemson won game 13.

Freeman represented ND will class and poise. Meanwhile Franklin, true to his nature got up their and whined like a little girl. Thanks for the extra motivation, I am sure Al Golden's stop troops are looking forward to seeing you and your boys from Happy Valley tomorrow night, Especially when they run a Lionel Train up your ass.

This is probably the most common fan complaint of every football team, at every level.

Living in State College and working at the Unversity, I can tell you that the current talk and the feeling I get is that PSU is not taking ND quite as seriously as they probably should. They talk about SOS and also that UGA didn't have their starting QB. I don't agree with that sentiment of course, just saying what the current buzz is concerning this matchup.

At least the fanbase isn't. Most expect a PSU win and many are saying a convincing win. I hope our boys take PSU to the woodshed tbh. Maybe its because I live here, but this fanbase is super annoying and obnoxious.

Willingham

We talk about Boob Weisingham as though it was one continuous era of suckitude. Actually there was a discernable improvement from Ty < Weis < Kelly. I guess Davie goes somewhere in between Ty and Weis. His success was mostly with the residual quality of Lou's coaching.

Today's Orange Bowl press conference

“I know a lot of times when coaches talk like this, people roll their eyes. But I think when every decision that we make is based on finances, then we're not making great decisions that's in the student-athlete and the game of football's best interest. I think there's been conversations about — obviously, you talk about just the differences between our two programs and conferences. I think it should be consistent across college football.

“I think, again, this is no knock on coach [Freeman] or Notre Dame, but I think everybody should be in a conference. I think everybody should play a conference championship game or no one should play a conference championship game. I think everybody should play the same number of conference games.

Lol. No knock on Freeman when he's repping ND and sitting right next to him.

Penn State was independent for 100 years....until 1993. They haven't established themselves at the top of the conference in football and basketball. I think Franklin speaks more for the SEC than he does the B1G. He is a conference microcosm of Brian Kelly......losing the big games. Now....PSU is a very good team. But taking a dig at Notre Dame's independence in a press conference was ill-advised. It was disrespectful to Marcus Freeman and Notre Dame given the platform. That conversation was misplaced....didn't say it was wrong to have...just not in a playoff press conference. To bring up "injuries" was total amateur hour. There are players on ND's team who can't play in this game due to injuries. The PSU head coach should not address their injuries. Stupid. Franklin should have received some guidance before this press conference. Expound on non-field issues of your own team......not your opponent's.

It's crazy to think not all credits transferred in from Duke

I would think that Riley would do whatever necessary to get his degree from ND once the season is over. A genuine ND guy.

That’s such a cool story arc for him. A big time basketball player who turns out to be pretty darn good at football as well. Goes to a prestigious academic and basketball school (Duke) and then transfers to a prestigious academic and football school that also has religious affiliations (since he’s clearly devout). It’s a great story.
