About the only person not making excuses for not winning a National Championship is the guy (Brian Kelly) who has done more to put ND back on the College Football map, and in the National Championship discussion. 1994-2009 was a complete embarrassment.
The handful of meathead cranks who take issue with Brian Kelly, are the equivalent of the 2 year old in the restaurant booster seat throwing food and banging the utensils for attention. Just a immature pack of football dimwits, future fast workers who are still looking for their first date.
Now...
Excuse/Whine #1- The College Football Super Powers CHEAT
Here is the deal. PROVE IT. And if you can PROVE IT. Report them to the NCAA. Otherwise shut up because it sounds like whining. And a personal note, Only in the stupid world of the NCAA is helping out a poor family with a meal, airline ticket, financing for a vehicle, a mortgage for home considered tawdry or dishonest. In every other walk of life it is good tidings.
Excuse/Whine #2 - The College Football Super Powers DO NOT care about academics.
ND fans act like every ND player is Pre-Med or studying to be a Nuclear Physicist. And every player that plays for Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State, Georgia, Oklahoma are taking Basket Weaving and TV. It s arrogant, its elitist, it's whiny and complete BS.
Excuse/ Whine #3- The College Football Super Powers allow ONLINE CLASSES
Here is some breaking news. We have something called the Internet. And it has been around for over 20 years, For the exact date ask Al Gore. But we have millions of people finishing Bachelors, Masters, and Doctorate degrees online. Embrace change, embrace technology, or get left in the dust. This doesn't pass the smell test as a legit reason
Excuse/ Whine #4 -The College Football Super Powers are more COMMITTED/OBSESSED about winning National Championships.
This is total BS as well. Lou was committed to bringing ND back to the top. The program Lou had in his cross hairs was Miami. Lou was obsessed in bringing in players that could match Miami's speed and athleticism. And from 1988 to 1993 he did. ND can be just as committed as Clemson, Alabama, OSU ect. ND chooses not to be. That is not an excuse. That is incompetence.
Excuse/Whine #5- The Football Super Powers have too many 4-5 star players.
This is the most laughable of them all. All you bean counter, star gazers are totally full of hot air. Sure maybe the Super Powers have more talent 1-85. But last i checked only 22 players are on the field at any given time. So, i do not care if the 4th String RB on Alabama is a STUD. If he is not on the field carrying the ball it does not matter.
Did a lack of talent and (Star Ratings) cause ND to commit 1000 false start penalties vs Georgia? This is complete BS. The talent gap between ND and the College Football Powers is NOT an excuse for not winning a National Championship.
The expectations should be a National Title period. This season was a missed opportunity and should have been a playoff team. BUT the overall play of the offensive line and the play of the QB vs the best 3 opponents (Georgia, USC, Michigan) was not close to good enough.
But how about a 10-2 ND team not celebrating the season? That in itself has not been seen around here in 25 years! You know where else 2 loss teams are feeling down on themselves??????Tuscaloosa, Alabama & Athens, Georgia That's where Brian Kelly has taken this program.
