Continually, I like Kelly a ton and think he is the best thing to happen to ND football since Holtz. I believe he has improved the program tremendously. I want to see consecutive ten plus game winning seasons, and I think we are primed for this. I acknowledge that Perse mostly posts negative views, and his dislike of Kelly is probably as strong as your support of Kelly. Not sure he really believes some of the nonsense he posts, such as the ones you noted. Like most here, his negative views of Kelly and the teams ability to perform at an elite level based entirely on his empirical historical analysis of past top teams gets tiresome; but so do the over the top optimistic assessments of the team going forward. Contrary to your view, I don't think Perse is a serial ND hater. He has posted comments about his belief the offense is loaded with talent and should be very good next year. He has questioned the defense talent level, and that is legitimate. So, he does raise good points and he does show affinity for ND, but these are few and far between and totally overshadowed by his rants about the mods and the takeover of the board and his lashing out at anyone who disagrees, and of course his anti Kelly bias at every opportunity, etc... And yes, the absurd negative comments irritate me a hell of a lot more than the vulgarity you and Perse and a few others choose to use; but that doesn't mean I wouldn't prefer that you and others entertain a bit more civility when calling each other dumb asses, just in a less vulgar way.
