That seems in conflict with ND’s opening game against OSU.
Certainly was. It put us in a position to win 10+ every year.
The only 2 that coached the bowl game were Rees and Freeman, all the other coaches were replaced afterward.
I am relieved that we are not 7-1 and on track to slip into a post season thrashing.
Well I guess the answer can be several reasons for the Marshall and Stanford losses. However, the main reason is poor QB paly. You could even make the argument that if the QB was a little better at Ohio state, They might have pulled that game out. I am not saying there weren't other issues. There clearly were. But if you look at those 2 losses against Marshall and Stanford, those games could have been wins if the QB's played better. Missing wide open receivers, throwing a Pick six and generally just no urgency .
inaccurate and not noteworthy, it's called soft schedules. What's noteworthy is Saban, Meyer, Dabo, Smart, shit even Jimbo winning championships. No one will remember Kelly 50 years from now, but they'll still remember Rockne, Leahy, Ara, Devine, and Holtz.
So Irish beer, the first game I attended, in the late 90s, I was in the back of the church while the players were at Mass. I thought it was really cool they had that experience before games. The same when Freeman brought it back.
There are issues at home, but going to mass is not it. It was a dumb thing to pick out of all of the things. Freeman is a new coach and everything is different so adding mass to the schedule is not causing you to lose to Marshall. You cocky name calling shit mixed with your attitude towards mass makes a real schmuck
Audric's fumble certainly helped in the loss to Stanford. Yeah Pyne is/was terrible, but they still win ugly without the fumble.
Not so fast my friend !
has 0 to do with going to mass right quick another dumb post
you can argue with the mountains of data and studies that show unequivocally that meditation improves athletic performance and not a whisper of evidence to say it is a detriment. there are a thousand issues on gameday that could be causing them to have played poorly against marshall and stanford, including recruiting distractions, not getting the team up for poor competition, and you focus on 1 thing, going to church real quick. please.
i think it's bc some people hate God and religion. The reason we have played poorly at home is bc this team prepares poorly, plays and executes poorly against poor competition. it's as simple as that. they play to their level of competition and its been an issue for years. this year its been magnified bc we are on the wrong end of the close calls.
Being subjected to a somber environment could have an adverse impact on playing performance.
WHY ?
It 1000% does not hinder. If you’re spiritual, you might believe God will be with you during the game in some capacity. Many athletes, amateur and pro believe in God, and that helps them tremendously, even if it’s just mental. As a Christian, believe there’s more to it than the mental side, but either way, if you asked the players I can almost guarantee you they’d tell you prayer helps them and mass does not have one iota to do with their performance against trash competition. The reason we lost to Marshall is bc this program has a major issue getting up to play poor competition. They will show up this Saturday, wait and see. I’m done arguing this. This is one of the more absurd things I’ve argued about in my life.
How do you know ?
Well, let's see, the ND team that won its last national championship went to pre-game mass.
This guy is off his rocker. Funny, the only 3 posters that took issue with mass are Savvy, Pat, and NIN. All openly liberal lunatics.
This just goes to show how incredibly dumb you are !
