Brian Kelly speaks, South Bend Torch and Pitchfork profits.

Many around here wondered how Brian Kelly would respond to the ugly loss to Navy.  Well, he did so by declaring the Tulsa game to be an epic clash of epicness:

“The biggest game that we have on our schedule is Tulsa,” Kelly said. “It’s a huge game. And the Navy game can’t affect the Tulsa game.” . . .

 “Tulsa game is probably the biggest game that I’ve coached in.”

Needless to say, the locals are not taking this well.  They are taking the Navy whooping less well, though, and after eight (!!!) games there are already calls for his head.
