USC is also an option, considering he signed with them originally.
Some people would prefer to have spots handed to them instead of being patient. Kelly said he was one of the hardest workers on the team, but he was at a spot where he wasn't the best fit. He would have seen significant playing time this year and was one play away from starting considering Riddick is coming off of shoulder surgery and isn't the biggest player on the team.

"I am not really good at talking anybody out of staying with a football team," Kelly said. "I just have never been down that road. I'll point out some things that I think it's important to point out, but I don't know my role really is to talk somebody out of quitting.
"I always will say, ‘Have you talked to your family? What are your family's thoughts about this? Have you clearly talked to them?' Because if they haven't talked to their family, that's a red flag for me. He said he's talked to his family about it, and that's why we wish him the best.
"Sometimes those decisions are ones that we really won't be able to understand. And maybe in five or 10 years, you look back on it and go, ‘That was a great decision, that was a poor decision.' I've been doing it for 20 years, and anytime a player leaves, it's disappointing."

This isn't meant to troll, but I want my prediction out there so that I can link back to this when it happens.
Notre Dame will go 6-6 and lose their bowl game(if they chose to accept it).
Bookmark this. I know I will.
Also, I'd like to add that the Notre Dame faithful will cut BK some slack with sayings like "The cupboard was bare because Ty was there" or "We have a really young team, just wait until next year", or "Just wait til BK gets his recruits in, then ND will be at the top again".

Are we allowed to bookmark this so when you're wrong you can eat your crow?

I am encouraging the bookmark, and will eat my crow, but I won't be wrong and ND fans know it.

Sleeper I will break bread with you at that same banquet of feathered fowl should the Potato Eaters surpass 6 - 6. But in the greater likelihood they dont...I think Rocky Knooty, Lotz and Ewok should buy us both virtual steak dinners on the Chatter. Sound yummy?

I would take that bet.
ND 6 wins or less, a thread must be created by an ND fan on this forum with the title "ND is terrible, sleeper is right"
The text of the thread must be "Bring back Weis, at least he gave us a "close loss" to USC"
ND 7 wins or more, I will never post on any thread with Notre Dame in the title.
Any takers?

I do have a question though, what if USC/ND go to overtime this year?

The 7 wins also includes the bowl game since we all know that's a guaranteed loss LOL

^^Now you're just making it easy, but that's a deal too.
And if Ohio State doesn't win the National Championship or Pryor doesn't win the Heisman, will you just find the nearest bridge, tie yourself to some cinder blocks, and go for a swim?

Can I put finely ground up shards of virtual glass in that virtual steak?

Also, beware that bet with sleeper and the way he worded it. He said he won't post on a thread with Notre Dame in the title. That means his threads will probably have "that Catholic Independent," "the Fighting Irish" or "team whose only bowl win in last 16 years is vs. depleted 6-6 WAC team." You know it's going to happen. Or he'll just bash ND on threads not about them.

That's fine, I would be willing to bet we could get a good number of posters to add Notre Dame to any thread they start on the site to keep him off.

You're not sucker bettin me into that one Lotz...I enjoy kicking you guys in the nuts too much to give it up just becuz you might get lucky one season. All I'm sayin is I'll make a statement of some sort that genuinely congratulates the Shamrock Huggers should they beat 6 - 6. If they don't, you make a similar statement identifying Sleeper and Tiernan as the World's Most Esteemed Authorities on All Things College Football Related.

NBC announced several new things with their coverage of Notre Dame. They will be broadcast in Europe and Asia. Games will also be streamed live on the internet with HD video and it will include full DVR capability. There will also be an extra online only camera and you will be able to rewind or review plays in slow motion while the live feed is still going. They also will have the camera over the field that was tested during the spring game.
