First off, I never even responded to Golson5, I responded to PatIrish, and Golson5 decided to interject himself with a comment. I'm not the one trashing threads, Golson5 is with his ludicrous comments.
As for ND, I hope ND runs the table and Riley Leonard plays like a Heisman candidate, but I live in the real world, not some fantasy land, and the performance of the offense and QB to date tells me this team is not a playoff team. The schedule gives ND an easier path to 11-1, but there are a couple of obstacles in the way, unless they can get the offense fixed. Even if they do manage to finish 11-1 with how one dimensional the offense is due to QB limitations, once ND faces a top 10 team in the playoffs, they will force ND to throw over the top, and ND won't be able to.
Initially, I was against the MF hiring, wasn't a fan of hiring first time HC, due to ND's historic results in modern day college football with first time HC's. ND made the hire, so there was nothing any of us could do but be positive and hope MF will be successful. I like what he's done with most of his coaching hires, and his recruiting, but we are now in year 3 and the program is losing to MAC teams. He got a pass in year 1, but year 3 of the same old same old is telling me MF is not the answer. Maybe he turns it around, and I hope he does, but the odds are against it.
I live in reality, Golson5 believing Riley Leonard is a first round talent is fantasy land, and I have every right to call that fool out on his stupidity. As I said it's comical at this point with him. To me I'm just having fun with it now.
