Read carefully...I said he LOOKs like a dead man walking...like frightened, drained, and down.

I made positive and measured comments about BK, supporting him...as I always have.

Oh, is that all? How impetuous of me. How did I misunderstand that? He just looks as if, and has the appearance and deportment of someone about to be fired, in disgrace one would presume, disgrace and ignominy, ie 'dead man walking', for losing a big game and blowing a double digit 2nd half lead. He's not actually a dead man walking, soon to be fired from his job as LSU football coach. Not at all, he just looks like it. No other insinuation or connotation intended. Strictly the visual similarity.

I don't even know what that looks like. Don't feel like I could even visualize that accurately. Such a somber, personal thing. But I guess just refer to BK's grim countenance when LSU's about to lose to a top ten opponent. That's what it looks like.

I still think BK is berating himself the most. He’s smart enough to know the entire context…that he wants and needs to be a champion but just isn’t.

With all the resources one can ask for, which wasn’t the case at ND.

Again: I feel for him, as he restored ND, but cannot for a number of reasons produce elite coaching. Just like most, as it isn’t easy to be Saban or Carroll.

ND dominated FSU for 95 % of the game and only a pass that slipped between the hands of a ND defender, resulting in an FSU TD made the score closer.

Anyone with an objective brain who watched the entire game knows that ND was the better team ………… by far

Naming FSU # 1 was a sympathetic political concession to Bobby Bowden

Yep, they wanted to give Bobby Bowden a title. Total B.S.

I would say ND dominant 100% of the game. But you are correct.

Don’t get me started on this head to head BS.

I’m thinking of the greatest con of all time.

Bobby Bowden and his Criminoles over the superior Holtz led Irish.

That was when I REALLY realized the corruption of the NCAA…it lives in infamy.

Who Is Elko Talking About Here 👀

savvyandsassier said:
He's also not publicly attacking BK, with thinly veiled almost fighting words level insulting tweets as a rookie SEC coach to a former mentor who was instrumental in helping advance Elko's own career. Which would be almost bizarre it would be so unprovoked and baseless, and senseless to say or do such a thing, and direct a sentiment like that so publicly at BK after a big win.

He wasn't attacking BK. Unless there were shots fired earlier in the week that no one at all talked about in the media, and BK was somehow talking shit about A&M and pissing Elko off, he would not be making passive aggressive type remarks at his new rival coach out of nowhere, who was his boss for a year no less and who helped his career along. Jimbo had worn out his welcome at A&M, probably accrued a fair amount of resentment, and I feel like saying was notorious for being a punk, and being petty in his various dealings and behind the scenes antics, and definitely was a total politician as a coach at big time programs with restive fanbases and plenty of political responsibilities so to speak. Other than on the podium where he was just a typical southern-boy ball coach.

But maybe that tweet will become the latest ephemeral, scandalous shit to talk about for the next 24 hours. I don't have a twitter account, so if it's confined only to the twitter-verse I wouldn't know anything about it.

Acknowledging it could be both or either is ok. Being an immovable stick in the mud is no fun my friend.

I'd agree polling has limited value, I can see why someone would put Texas A&M in front of ND after last night's game. The first game of the season was an eternity ago. One team can improve at a faster rate over a team it lost to over the course of half a season.

That is a subjective way of interpreting it, of course selectively used by SEC apologists…don’t fall for their sophistry.

For me the entire season counts…which is why soccer is superior, a true league competition, not property contest.

Look, even so, I get that perhaps a team might make some argument of higher ranking than a head to head opponent it lost too…but this is not the case with TAMU vs ND.

ND is now routine opponents, albeit a weaker schedule…but the eye test is decent…and still, ND did beat TAMU when ND had issues with RL, the OL, Denbrock, and MF.

Issues that culminated in a loss to NIU, but things have improved…and that too was an eternity ago!

Defensive Snaps

Telx1
I was concerned that Young would get burned by Navy as he still plays relatively wild and undisciplined, albeit increasingly effective against traditional offenses. I was a bit surprised he hardly saw the field, and even more surprised that Burnham played exclusively at SDE and Jr an equal amount at WDE or Vyper. Haven’t seen Sneed play so much Will linebacker all season, and Ausberry at Rover played a ton of snaps. All in all, pretty strategic moves by Golden.

Of course the NIU loss hurts. No excuse. But it is kind of ridiculous putting TAMU ahead of ND.

Polling is part of the corruption and farce that is the NCAA.

I agree, head to head trumps everything. If you lose to a team, with all things being equal, you shouldn't be placed ahead of them.

ND wins as I predicted by over 30. And the cherry on top is LSU getting eliminated from playoffs

TAMU looks great which is huge for us

I predicted in January a natty for ND. I placed $ on that and now that Pennick finally has Riley Leonard playing better I like my chances.

wtf was Pennick for NIU game? 😂

You were wrong about RL. He is a good football player and leader. He accepts your apology. 😉
