was the players dancing around on the sidelines as if there were thirty seconds to go in the game and Notre Dame was up by 10. What was that all about? It looked contrived, out of context and frankly it backfired anyway. It just adds another dimension to the notion that Brian Kelly has lost this team.
 
Speaking of contrived nonsense, the game officials told Yoon and his posse that they couldn't do the after kick contrived non spontaneous "celebration" anymore. The refs considered it taunting. Whether it was for last night only or forever, I do not know. The jury is still out on whether BK has lost the team. We are not there so, as much as we want to be considered insiders, we don't know what the team's mindset is like.
 
Those refs were terrible. The last play of the game, the ball should've been still live. Adams might've scored if they hadn't blown it dead. Flutie even thought so.
 
Hard to decide what was the WORST thing I saw last night.

Our OL getting beat when they double teamed a guy???

Our DL not getting any rush on a lousy QB???

Our D not protecting off tackle or the edge, and giving up 5yds even with 9 men in the box???

Our supposed red zone offense???

Kizer's lousy pocket presence???

Our center snaps???

The team not showing up after the half--again???

PITIFUL.......the tree was begging to be beaten.
 
totally agree, every week its a new gimmick and then a week or two later its gone. This week it's let's have fun and dance around which worked unitl we lost the lead and then the game and then lots of long faces and slumped shoulders.

Remember the stupid gimmimck about someone wearing the #1 jersey every week? What happened with that?

RKGs ... another stupid thing.

Here's what's fun and motivating ... winning, playing disciplined football, leaving it on the field, not turning the ball over, not getting 2 false start penalties in the red zone, two plays in a row, gang tackling, sacking the QB, making field goals, punting the ball more than 30 yards, ... should I go on?
 
What happened to that?? The #1 Jersey is an easy one; it represented ND having the best winning % in college football....ONE PROBLEM.... Due to this coach's total failure ND no longer has the #1 winning percentage. We surrendered that to M by losing so many games to start the season.
 
it appears that the players are buying into one principle that BK is teaching....gimmicks.
 
It looked like contrived emotion so they could check that box off BK's list. This way they can't take the blame from BK for not playing with emotion. Remember the Duke post game PC?
