Michigan will be lucky to go 7-5. Notre Dame isn’t facing that issue this year. They just hanged with the #3 team in the country on the road. To pretend how one loses and whom one loses to doesn’t matter is asinine. Had Michigan lost today like ND did, we’re not having the conversations we’re having.
September 22nd, 2019 at 2:46 AM ^
Calling BS on that one.
Proof is we see the same complaints and baseless absolutes every time there is ANY loss.
September 22nd, 2019 at 3:49 AM ^
Wha baseless absolutes? Jim’s teams have looked similar for all his major letdown games. He can’t win a big game especially on the road. His teams look flat and sloppy AGAIN.
it’s not baseless takes it’s this rerun we’ve seen over and over again. His team didn’t just get beat in this game. He’s had a game where he’s been run out of a stadium in embarrassing fashion 3 years running. It’s tradition with Harbz
September 22nd, 2019 at 7:50 AM ^
And wins. ......
September 22nd, 2019 at 1:20 AM ^
He should have been fired when the student in the scissors lift during a wind storm died at his direction.
September 22nd, 2019 at 1:21 AM ^
Kelly never made a BCS title game appearance. Did get to the playoff in his 9th season at ND and got embarrassed. ND has not won a major bowl game in over 25 years. Kind of like being the tallest midget I guess. He has the blood of 2 dead students on his hands and should have been fired. Embarrassing that any true ND fan would cheer for the team whilst he is still employed.
September 22nd, 2019 at 1:30 AM ^
Um, 2012, they played Alabama for the title.
(Though it was technically vacated.)
September 22nd, 2019 at 1:31 AM ^
Yes he did. He lead them to the BCS title game in the 2012 season. They did get obliterated by Alabama though.
September 22nd, 2019 at 1:37 AM ^
Vacated by the NCAA so it never happened.
September 22nd, 2019 at 1:23 AM ^
If we had lost by 6 today with a chance to win at the end, people wouldn't be calling for Harbaugh's firing.
September 22nd, 2019 at 1:50 AM ^
Yup. It’s all about how we looked. Hard to complain about a competitive loss on the road to a good team. Very easy to complain about a 35 point deficit and 360 rush yards given up. We had no chance.
September 22nd, 2019 at 1:51 AM ^
You sure?
September 22nd, 2019 at 1:56 AM ^
This is just dumb. ND lost a close game to a top 3 team.
September 22nd, 2019 at 2:11 AM ^
I don't understand what your point is. Are you trying to say we can't fire our coach because Notre Dame doesn't want to fire their coach?
September 22nd, 2019 at 2:44 AM ^
Exactly.
We have an insufferable fan base.
September 22nd, 2019 at 2:49 AM ^
If you can't tell the difference between our performance versus their performance you can't be helped.
September 22nd, 2019 at 4:15 AM ^
I live near South Bend. You can imagine my ire in admitting that ND flew fast to the ball and looked good on defense. They made Georgia earn this win.
I can't say the same for Wisconsin earning theirs vs. Michigan. Michigan looked lost on D against an obvious running game plan that they had 2 weeks to prepare for.
September 22nd, 2019 at 6:30 AM ^
You are such a stupid fucking idiot.
September 22nd, 2019 at 6:34 AM ^
Well maybe but, he has a very pedestrian, 3 star QB making our 5-star, 5th year senior look like a jagaloon.
Their defense looked good on the road in SEC cheater-land.
September 22nd, 2019 at 6:52 AM ^
I texted my brother last night and said I was jealous of ND. At least they were out there competing last night and looked the part of a solid and tough football team. No shame in losing in Athens last night. They fought unlike some other big programs.
September 22nd, 2019 at 7:14 AM ^
He'll have a chance to win a "big game" on the road in Ann Arbor in a few months. It sure won't be against a top 5 team though.
September 22nd, 2019 at 7:21 AM ^
Brian Kelly should be fired for letting a student die on his watch
September 22nd, 2019 at 7:46 AM ^
September 22nd, 2019 at 7:58 AM ^
Forget the NC game and playoffs that he's taken them to. He just took his team into Georgia's stadium to play the #3 ranked team in the country - the same team that has legitimately pushed Alabama HARD for three years - and took them right to the brink. ND played hard, played smart, and fought every inch of that field. He should feel zero shame for that loss.
OP, you are a drunk fucking idiot.
September 22nd, 2019 at 8:05 AM ^
Maybe because he’s been to a couple CFP’s?
September 22nd, 2019 at 8:19 AM ^
He’s been to the CFP. Harbaugh has been to Waffle House. Big fucking difference.
September 22nd, 2019 at 8:48 AM ^
This is a dumb post. ND on the road against an SEC powerhouse played a good game and had a chance to pull out a win at the end. If UM did that, I'd be pretty damn happy.
September 22nd, 2019 at 9:08 AM ^
If Brian Kelly needs to be fired......at what point does Harbaugh need to be fired.
"First remove the plank from thine eye."
September 22nd, 2019 at 9:09 AM ^
I like that it has now come to broadly sarcastic posts about firing other coaches. Today is going to be a real party on the blog, I can feel it.
September 22nd, 2019 at 9:24 AM ^
I feel for you, Mom... But, at least, it seems like these hot take threads are staying within the bounds of reason (for the most part). Which is very much different from previous meltdowns that required the board to be shutdown for a while. To be sure, though, plenty of posters last night wanted the world set afire and vociferously shit on anyone that didn't agree with them. Hopefully, their drunk will have worn off and they'll be too hung over to keep it up today.
Good luck to all the Moms today!!
September 22nd, 2019 at 10:07 AM ^
Yes, but you'll earn your pile of sweet sweet blog cash today.
September 22nd, 2019 at 10:26 AM ^
Yea it is, there are plenty of ND fans that really want Kelley gone, but they went through the same as Michigan and hired a bunch of coaches in a short time. You cant just keep hiring new coaches when your team is having a down year.
September 22nd, 2019 at 10:28 AM ^
Notre Dame is going to kick our shit in, I am not optimistic about this game
September 22nd, 2019 at 10:32 AM ^
I just don’t understand this kind of stupid.
I’m hoping people like you will see the light after ND comes to the Big House and smacks the team so bad it breaks the dumb glasses off Harbaugh’s face.
September 22nd, 2019 at 10:33 AM ^
I mean he did take his team to the BCS title game in 2012 and the CFP last year.
Harbaugh can't even win the Big Ten East. Maybe Michigan should go independent....
September 22nd, 2019 at 10:57 AM ^
Add it the list of Michigan fans who try to draw parallels with another situation all while leaving out the important variables
