A HUGE DILEMA

[Patrirish]

Awaits many of you this weekend !

Specifically, those of you who are Brian Kelly and/or Tommy Rees haters.

After the Alabama vs LSU game some of you are going to be incredibly disappointed !

Some of you are going to have to eat a huge helping of crow and humble pie !

Your only salvation might be a tie !

So to all of you haters, have a miserable weekend ! 😜

As for me, I’m rooting for the son of Notre Dame, Tommy Rees ! 👍

One of them will lose. So it will be a good day.

And its dilemma

 

[sjb75]

At least spell dilemma correctly.

 

[mrwigglesby21]

Why would someone not pull for Rees/Alabama? He played football at ND, coached at ND, and didn't bail with Kelly when Kelly tried to take him. I hope Alabama crushes them this weekend. But it will probably be a competitive game to the end.

 

[NDblitz]

Nah! Pragmatism rarely breeds regret. I'll root for the two loss team. Would rather see ND vs Alabama in a bowl game than ND LSU. You sure come off as a hyper-emotional fella/gal their Pat.

I do not get the Tommy Rees vitriol. Brian Kelly, I get.

I was in the LA Coliseum in 2010 when Tommy was a true freshman and started at QB and beat USC, ending a long losing streak. Tommy Rees started at QB, is a Notre Dame grad, coached in South Bend, and is a Notre Dame man. To openly root against the guy, who at 31-years-old has accomplished quite a bit in the CFB coaching profession, simply confuses me.

No dilemma for me. Rooting for Tommy to have a great offensive game plan and Alabama win.

A good offensive game plan isn't difficult against LSU. Stopping the LSU offense is tougher.

 

[Telx1]

Agreed. But the point of the OP is choosing who to root for or against between Tommy and Kelly. I choose to root for Tommy, and thus Alabama to beat LSU, and I hope Tommy earns kudos for a great offensive game plan. And yes, the Alabama defense has to find a way to slow down LSU’s qb.

 

[mbd11]

I'm rooting for LSU, because with 2 losses, they're already out of the playoff race. But Alabama's still in it. I don't want either team to make the playoff. And that has nothing to do with Rees. I usually root against Alabama.

The LSU QB is damn good.

Sure is!

Except for the I’ll advised red cup incident with Carlo Calabrese, Tommy has been an alright dud.

Jmo: BK is just someone I have a lesser (low) opinion of.

Like I said, Brian Kelly I get.

Tommy, I do not.

 

[jerbach]

Tommy is a fellow alumni. I will root for him even though I don't like Alabama all that much. Also if LSU loses and we run the table, maybe we will not have to play them in a bowl game once again.

 

[notredamerises23]

Should be a really good game. I also have nothing against Kelly or Rees though some here do. Kelly brought back ND to its winning ways and Rees is a fellow alumnus.

I'd love to play LSU in a bowl. Kelly vs. his former team would be ratings gold.

 

[NotreDomer1]

I have No hate for Tommy Rees. I just don’t think he’s a very good OC. That could obviously change over time. People are just too dumb to realize there’s a difference between the two things.

 

[tkirish]

Not really a dilemma. It’s irrelevant who wins or loses and it doesn't directly affect ND. The only dilemma I see is ND playing Clemson. The tigers will bring their “A” game. The Irish better bring theirs.

 

[burmafrd1943]

I find it real hard to root for Alabama. I think if alabama's offense does its job but the D loses it in the final minute I would be satisfied

 

[tbonesays]

One of them will lose. So it will be a good day.

And its dilemma

I grew up with dilemna.

 

[francade]

Was hoping they could both lose in horrific fashion. If it’s choosing between bama & lsu, I’ll take lsu even though I 🤮 in my mouth when I wrote that.

I may have to go for LSU to eliminate Bama from Playoffs. But it will be tough rooting for LSU

Yep. That’s the way I saw it spleded also.

I'm with you on rooting for Rees.

I'm with you on rooting for Rees.

If you’re a true fan of the University of Notre Dame how can you root against a former Notre Dame student, a varsity football player and football coach ?

 

[francade]

^^^^^The same way a former ND player and coach could leave ND for bama I guess.

Because he works for AL now

Agreed

I have also grown to admire Saban the older he gets------and the older I get !

 

[mirer03]

Personally I won't cheer for either team regardless of Notre Dame connections. I will cheer for former players if they play in the game, like diggs.

Irish and Bama win the Irish jump LSU

 

[sjb75]

Graduate. Former starting QB that I watched beat USC as a true freshman, ending a long losing streak. Former OC. Notre Dame man.

Yeah, I root for the dude.

 

[Chitown11]

This is just plain dumb.

Well..............consider the source

 

[Patrirish]

Because he works for AL now

Then you can’t be an ND grad.

 

[Patrirish]

This is just plain dumb.

What’s incredibly dumb is your comment.

Notre Dame grads root for and support fellow Notre Dame grads, but you wouldn’t understand that special connection !

Like I said just plain stupid.

 

[Patrirish]

Like I said just plain stupid.

Obviously, you didn’t graduate from Notre Dame !

 

[Irishjohn68]

And neither did you.
