Book? Is this a joke? He did what he was supposed to. Manage the game and get the hell out of the way. What game did you watch?
Where are ALL the Book and Kelly haters???
- Thread starter Zorich 88
- Start date
When Kelly finally beats a really good team I’ll praise him. Point to that one game outside of OU eight years ago...... You can’t. ND still hasn’t beaten a team this year that has recorded a D1A victory themselves. Chill out. You’re a lunatic.

If getting the hell out of the way means running into the endzone I will take it ! His three rushing TD's before halftime broke the Notre Dame record for qb rushing TDs before the half.

The Irish beating ninth rank USC 49 to 14 in 2017 ! next !
As your best friend in the whole world Bodi, I'm just trying to keep you from making even more bad predictions. That's my promise to you. Let the darn thing play out. Ian will prove himself or not. Slugging away, throwing wild haymakers at every opposing opinion kind of makes your thoughts sound kind of like it's coming from Jim Ignatowski. Just trying to help you out bro. Thank me later.

. I have been making predictions since I have been on this site. What makes you think I am going to change the way I do things just because a Old Namedropping windbag like yourself tells me to.
I get the sense you are a little jealous of the Great Bodester.
He did why he is supposed to???
Great!!!
That’s why you want your starting QB to do. Go out and do what your supposed to do.
As a coach, as a fan, can you ask for anything more?
Bad predictions is not something to boast about. Keep on keeping on. Don't stop making predictions. Don't ever change that. Just try to be right every once in awhile. As your best friend, it pains me to have to say it so bluntly.
If ND goes 3 and out the first series vs Wake Forest. These life losers will be on here like stink on a skunk.
You’re opinions are irrelevant at this point. You’ve made it clear: You dislike all things ND and Kelly. You chop them down at every turn. Be objective for once.
Book has big wins. Is elite only: Bama, OSU, Clemson, Oklahoma?
He’s beaten LSU....
In fairness, many posters using smart phones. Grammatical errors are going to happen....
It's more of a punctuation error. In all fairness, I made no criticism of the extra punctuation. I just mentioned that I wasn't sure what the extra period was for. It's all about nothing and I find it strange that two people have mentioned it. Sometimes fans around here highlight and focus on the weirdest stuff.
“.... I have been making predictions since I have been on this site. What makes you think I am going to change the way I do things....”
and basically those predictions are ‘copy-paste’. Like the homeless man that roams the streets predicting the end of the world, sooner or later both will be right!

These same Grammar Nazi's get on Book for not going 25 and 25 in passing. They think we are cyborgs not human.

The Irish winning a National Championship would be the end of the World for you, Purse.
I’ve been following the board for 15 years- I don’t remember that.
His arm talent is average. He can hit a deep ball if he gets his feet right and steps into it, but he is incapable of hitting anything past 25 yards on the reg under less than ideal situations.
I’m right here.
Book still isn’t a quality QB. ND still struggled at times yesterday in short yardage. Luckily they were playing a team so absolutely terrible they can run up the score.
I’ll make a deal with you. For every good play you give me yesterday about Book. I will compare it against a bad play against Michigan last year. Or Clemson the year before.
and you let me know how impressed you are that Book beat a team they were favored by 25 over before kickoff.
Now the defense. I was impressed with. Just as I was last week. That defense could be so very, very special

The Irish converted almost every short yardage play Saturday. What game were you watching?

Have you ever said anything good about the Irish team? That is not intolerance. That is a question. And why did you stop posting as Perseverance? Why must you hide?
Consider-yourself very lucky, and say a prayer for the other patients in Bodi’s psych ward!
He‘s enough to drive then nuts, (if they-weren’t already nuts!). The nurses aids ask for xtra pay on Saturdays!

Maybe, but I"m not so sure. I'm only responding because yours is one of the few non-bonkers posts in this thread that is flush with haters who are feeling their oats for some reason, even though we just got through winning 52-0. I guess because Book's stats weren't anything special, so it's a good time as ever to really thrash him, before he has a big game!
I would definitely agree that his 'arm talent' is nothing special. He is just not that gifted a passer, and that was obvious from the start, from the first time he got extended minutes. Personally, I don't think he'll be back next year. I just don't, unless we make the playoff. BK may like Book, but not as much as the haters think. He's a QB that our coach knows he can win with. And that's why he's starting. Playing PJ came with more risk.
In any case, the Book hating is disturbing. It makes me think something terrible is about to happen in the world. Like the way wild animals can sort of tell when something's about to go down. For human beings, with our big brains that are always running a mile a minute, it's this sort of agitation, this baseless agitation that has overtaken so many of our more weak-minded fans. We're headed for something awful, and this mania for hating on Ian Book, who is nothing more than a journeyman college QB who happens to be doing very well for himself, is a telltale sign.
And I also agree that he is risk-averse and very much temperamentally conservative. And that's probably why, his pedestrian arm talent doesn't inspire a lot of confidence in oneself. So playing it safe most of the time is the smart move.
The guy damn near guarantees us 10 wins. Why wouldn’t he come back next year? If he has pro aspirations, another year could only help. I’m sure BK and Rees would love to have him back, while the young guys continue to develop.
Maybe he wants to go forward with a career outside of football. Use the ND degree to make a ton of money and hopefully have a great life.
Either way, when he’s gone....we’ll miss his consistency. Too many fans take Ian Book for granted because he’s not Trevor Lawrence.
I like Book but I think it's best that he leaves after this year. The young guys need their shot and hes been here 5 years
The Michigan game ? Are you that obtuse ?
I’ll take your bet on Clemson.
How quickly you forgot all of the dropped passes.
Add them in as completions and his stats are very good against the best team in the country
Is there reason for concern next season? We’ll have a new OL and maybe a new, unproven, young QB....
Who’s the tallest midget again comparisons. BK win the big game and you’ll be revered. BK has developed the Irish to be a B plus program. Need a signature prime time win.
Who are the top 5 programs in the country?
I do not mean the current top 5. I mean the five programs that have been most successful in the past 3-5 seasons
Bama
Clemson
LSU
Ohio State
Notre Dame
What are you saying???
Are you saying Book is trash???
I mean, you can say he is not great but come on, not a quality QB????
"Book opted to return for his senior season, and he will add to his total of 57 career touchdowns with the Irish. Book is 20-3 as a starter, a record that is underappreciated given the pressure of playing that position at Notre Dame under Brian Kelly."
Book completed 60.2% of his 399 pass attempts in 2019, throwing for 3,034 yards and 34 touchdowns while getting intercepted just six times. Book also rushed for 546 yards and four more touchdowns. If you think these stats are not at least quality, then you should find a new team to cheer for.

he needs to win more than 1 big game at this point! 11 friggin years and you would give him a pass with 1 W ?
We could have Patterson, Banks and Lugg back. Thats 3 good players with starting experience and talented backups
