the "Play Like a Champion" sign entering the tunnel....

Disagree. 18-22 year old kids, who are the epitome of the term "student-athlete" should not be criticized on this board.

Personally, they should not be. Poor position play is open for critique. Full ride scholarships, an NBC spotlight and a billion dollars in merchandise sales tells me there can be s bit of critiquing.

Personally, yes. Poor position play, no.

Before the changeover two years ago, criticizing players was absolutely taboo on this board. If that has changed, it was not for the better.

you might need to define what "criticizing" is....If these student-athletes are snowflakes in need of yet another "safe space" then say so....Or, are they young men who are willing and able to accept both responsibility and criticism? Ask them...you might be surprised at the answer you get. When I sign in to this site....the first thing I see is an article titled "Notre Dame football has lost credibility again"......Someone needs to contact the mods.....this could be harmful and generate the need for counseling or medical attention.

No, you ask them. Take your new sign and hold it high as they walk out of practice or come to Gate "E" after a game when they are meeting up with family. Don't talk the talk with us here. Put your theory to practice and get back to us. Now is your chance for message board glory.
