Is Marcus Freeman already getting fed up with ND brass too?

There's so much erroneous takes attributed to me on this board its not even funny. I've done nothing but talk up Marcus Freeman the head coach for going on 2 seasons now. The coaching has been top notch since the start of the BK era. Its the talent acquisition side of the football operations that needs to come out of the stone ages and that i deride on this forum constantly (but not the coaching)
This is false.

Ole Miss & IU are out of CFP

Ole Miss definitely is. I don't know about IU, I don't think that's fair. If they can match our 66-7 thrashing of Purdue, I think they're back in. Or at least approximate it. Where does their SOS rank against ours? Our margin of victory is about the same. Our seasons are about the same. But we do have that precious A&M win. But also have the 'bad loss' to NIU. How does that compare to losing to tOSU by twenty?

Football ***GAME THREAD: No. 6 Notre Dame vs. No. 19 Army (7 p.m. EST on NBC)***

I'm bundled up in the open air press box at Yankee Stadium, so let's get the game thread for Notre Dame-Army rolling.

We will use this game thread as the primary home for game commentary from now until after the game. We have some rules we'll ask you to follow, which will be included below.

If you're not following the rules and do not respond well to reminders, we'll remove you're posting privileges for the rest of the day. We have too much to do today to argue about it during the game. This doesn't happen often as we're pretty lenient in the game thread, but please keep that in mind.

@HotCarNut has disciplinary powers as a moderator. You can argue with him about the game, but do not argue with him about the rules.

Our game thread rules:

1. Use this thread until the end of the game for ongoing game commentary. We'd like to keep the conversation in one place. If something from the game merits a separate conversation of substance, go ahead and start another thread for that topic. When in doubt, post in the game thread.

2. Criticism of decision-making by coaches and players is allowed. But please avoid making it personal. Don't be malicious. Remember, that person's mother could be reading your post. If you cross the line, you'll lose posting privileges for the day.

3. Don't be a doofus. Have some respect for your fellow subscribers.

You dont get to complain about scheudle when you lose to florida and kentucky
There's no excuse regardless. If you got the talent, you just gotta win. However, I think you can make the argument that playing the lower ranked teams in the SEC is a bigger challenge than playing thr lower ranked teams from Big 12 or ACC. Sometimes I think a team loses not because they weren't good enough, but because it's just hard to beat talented teams weekly. It's the same reason why you never see anyone in the NFL go undefeated. Better teams lose to weaker teams all the time.

For those that complain about ND not being in a conference...

I know being a super conference brings in a ton of money, but a lot of schools are going to be sorry for this. Kiffin told reporters that there are coaches amongst the SEC that would rather not go to the SEC championship game and just take the bye. Makes sense. Why bother playing the SEC championship Game, have less time to rest, and risk losing and be out of the playoffs entirely? Nobody cares about conference championships. This suggests to me ND is actually better off NOT being in a conference, especially since you can still host a home playoff game and the remaining games would be neutral site.

Fighting Kelly’s of LSU

When did he recruit and develop a Heisman winning QB? News to me. Jayden Daniels was recruited and developed by Arizona St
I think that's sort of the art of being a deeply pathological Orwellian style hater, in the clinical sense. Is to lie so completely, that when you're hating on someone, and demonizing them and belittling their achievements, whoever the hate figure is, in this case it's BK. That it's not simply that 2+2=5, it's two plus two equals polka dots, and the more absurd the claim the better, the more egregious, the more flamboyant, the better to spray your disdain with contempt and derision for anything that could stand in the way of it. You don't just hate hate BK, you have contempt for all sense of reality, if such reality would in any way impede you. So the more ludicrous your aspersions, the richer the whole experience. That you don't even bother to make even vaguely plausible slanders.

Thus your claim that Jayden Daniels was recruited and developed by ASU. You actually even included 'recruited' by ASU. As if he was working in a gas station somewhere, or at a video arcade as a quarter porter, deep in the bowels of the ghostly Inland Empire. And ASU found him out of total obscurity, recruited him, gave him a scholarship and then coached him up to what he is today. And then BK in dastardly fashion strutted into town, all arrogant and phony like a politician, bought him off with the LSU slush fund, right as ASU's big investment was about to pay off, and took him back to his office in Baton Rouge and started crying and begging Jayden to save his career. And JD was like, 'Sure thing, coach.'

And the rest is history.

Ole Miss

No i act like F+ is an objective measurement of the quality of teams and insist that its far more accurate than the whims of random posters who are evaluating teams by their win loss record and their gut (which it is).
You act like it is infallible and take every ranking like gospel with no chance of them being wrong on something. It's ridiculous.

You turned people off of F+ with that attitude towards it
