What's ironic is that BK had success at UC with Mark Dantonio's recruits. Most of his own never made it to campus or ended up being busts.

BK is an embarrassment to college football and ND.

I don't think that's fair to say. You can say that about a lot of coaches. He put in his time at Grand Valley and dominated that level. He then turned it around at C. Michigan and had success in Cincinnati. Norte Dame looks improved this year and will continue with his guys. Weren't they on a 3 game losing streak against Navy prior to today?

He just has to learn that he's under a microscope and every little thing he does will be analyzed. Maybe the Weiss guys are not buying into his coaching style, but he still needs them because those upper classmen are still the leaders in the locker room.

ND will have 6 Losses at years end. Quite impressive for a team thought to be Top 10 caliber.

Care to place a wager on that?

ND loses to Stanford...and that's it.

Wait, you're saying that they're going to lose 3 of their last 4? Really? Wake Forest, Maryland, BC and Stanford. I'll concede Stanford but who are the other two L's?

No way ND loses 3 of 4 to Maryland, BC, Stanford, and Wake.

Maryland and Boston College are terrible. Wake is below average. Hell, ND has more of a chance of going 9-3 and making a BCS game than they do of losing 3 of 4.

It's been this way for the past 20+ years. ND is overhyped, year in, year out, and they always underachieve. They just aren't good, and if they ever have a good season it can attributed to only having to wake up once or twice a season to play a real team.

Meh. Actually thinking there's even a slight chance of truth to Non's theory makes you look equally stupid.

Nah. Thinking ND could lose 3 of their last 4 games considering the opposition and that avatar makes non's theory possible. LOL

Furthermore, it's a joke.

Who thought ND was that great this year? A 9 win season is solid, and that's what they are. They are probably a top 25 team, but certainly not a top 15 team. No shame in that.

Anyone can lose 3 of 4. His prediction is retarded, but it's not impossible. Non's theory is impossible. It's the stupidest god damn thing I've ever heard lol.

You're probably taking it a little too seriously. Go back and read again. It's a joke.

A 9 win season means they'll beat Stanford. In that case, wins over Michigan State and Stanford as part of a 9-3 season look pretty good. 10-2 was their ceiling this season IMO anyways. It's just how those 3 losses (so far) have happened that makes it a tough pill to swallow.

Yeah, that's too bad.

But you watched that Browns-Seahawks game last Sunday so you're used to it.

For, for the record, just about every ND fan I know thought nine wins was the most likely, including myself.

This is the year of the mental errors. I think there is as much talent on this team as anyone outside of the elite talent schools (USC, Texas, Oklahoma, Flroida, Alabama, LSU) and I think Notre Dame's coaching schemes have been fine. The year of the unforced turnovers, definitely. Much like fans look at 2009 wondering what would have happened if they had half of a defense, people will look at this wondering what would have been without some absolutely retarded turnovers.

Are you retarded because you're a Pirates fan? No, you're not. It's a terrible theory.

The Browns-Seahawks game was bad..but I imagine most teams have a win like that once a season.

And a wins a win, so fugg it
