Haha. Chi town, I’m the furthest thing from being a BK apologist. I’m in the apathy crowd. CFB as a whole has a problem in my opinion. Very few teams get the legitimate game changing player. Bama & Clemson get the lion share of the good players then the next tier. I would say we are somewhere in there. The days of Lou’s 4 straight #1 classes are Ova. Multiple players going in the first round. BK will get you 8-10 wins. Listen two unbeaten regular seasons is an accomplishment. But the school cannot compete with the top dogs on prime time but most can’t.
If that's not an apology it's an excuse.
Too many act like BK is the end all be all for Notre Dame.
I promise you there are coaches out there who can do better in recruiting and especially in big games.
Thinking otherwise is accepting mediocrity and nothing more.
ND does it better than the other guy. That means it requires more work and creativity but it could happen.
The excuses and apologies have really become ad nauseam.
Its like people are shrugging their shoulders thinking oh well this is the best we can do.
40 year decision, shopping from a different aisle, look at our grad rate, Clemson and Bama have retards or criminals on the field while our players might be on a school board someday. Perhaps even a town mayor someday. WTFE
All those statements are nothing more than self serving excuses. It's admirable ND is trying to make the better student but don't use it as moral victories.
ND has a different standard. So what.
Work harder than the other guy. Coach harder, smarter than the other guy.
It can happen.
It WON'T happen doing the affirmation dance after every big game ass kicking we receive.
Refuse to accept almost and trying hard. Quit patting ourselves on the back for achieving our own policies and rules.
Seriously WTF is that.
In a ND admin or Brian Kelly words. ...
We will only accept a student that odds are will be near a 4.0 GPA
Then when student is near a 4.0 we pat ourselves on the back like in some deranged side show victory. It gets really bad after we get an ass whipping in a big game.
Do it better than the other guy.
Coach better than the other guy.
