One Frame At A Time: Notre Dame Comment Count

Chris Fowler: Now it's time for the Pacific Life game summary.

Fowler: This has been the Pacific Life game summary.

[Hit THE JUMP for three different gif categories: Notre Dame schadenfreude, TOWELS, and the rest.]

The Full Album

Lives here.

Notre Dame Schadenfreude Top Ten

10. The Self-Sack

In fairness, a solid alternative to being chased by Cam McGrone.

9. Beaten

It does not appear the O-line had much fun.

8. M00N Callback

It's bad when only one team is playing M00N-ball.

7. Brian Kelly Existential Crisis

When you contemplate quitting on the spot and then remember the financial ramifications.

6. A New Way to Fumble

Thank you, Notre Dame quarterbacks, for your continued innovation in this field.

5. What Are You Doing?

I have no idea what Jonathan Jones was thinking but I'm glad he thought it.

4. Dumbfounded Brian Kelly

When the manager won't listen to your complaint.

3. "Cut Me, Mick!"

Ian Book had a rough night.

2. Wet and Mad

lol.

FRAMES OF THE GAME: THIS IS A DIFFERENT GIF THAN THE LAST ONE

loooooool.

Top Five Towel Tosses

5. The Heavy Stuff is Coming Down

If you look closely you can spot the one that lands on the camera.

4. Wirecam Shot

This is an absolute laser that I'm convinced hit the wire bit of the wirecam. Brian Kelly should've pulled this kid out of the stands and put them in at quarterback.

3. This Is Your Fault

This throw, sadly, doesn't connect with John O'Neill, but it does graze one of the other officials, and we get the bonus of a Michigan staffer trying to snatch it out of the air.

2. Friendly Doink

I think Nico Collins asked for this? He certainly didn't seem to mind.

TOWEL-TOSS(ES) OF THE GAME: F--- YOU AND F--- THIS

Unbelievable precision all around.

Everything Else Top Ten

10. Plucked

The degree of difficulty on DPJ's touchdown was not low.

9. TruTD

Sorry, the bad puns are contractually obligated now.

8. Clone More Glasgows

Use science for good.

7. They Threw The Fade

Oh hey that works really well.

6. Tracked and Slaughtered

Cam McGrone is something straight out of a nature documentary.

5. Slippery Sainristil

Woop.

4. Smushed

Hassan Haskins would like you to take a seat right there, thanks.

3. Don Brown Contemplates Murder

If there were fewer witnesses, I'm inclined to believe he would've gone through with it.

2. Up and Over

More fun than effective but it was a lot of fun.

FRAMES OF THE GAME: SPAMMED

Have a seat over there, buddy.

No voting this week, they're all too good to choose. If you'd like a winner declared, it's the Kmet/camera towel double shot.

Towel on ND player then towel on camera is clearly the best one. I was bitter that the phantom PI call allowed ND to get on the board but still couldn't help but laugh at that.

Brian Kelly didn't want to be there. He looked so dejected early in the 2nd quarter. No wonder ND played so poorly. 

When Haskins went up and over, I thought for sure that he would blow out his ankle or knee when he landed. Glad it worked out.

On the TruTD, as Tru gets to about the 15, it looks like #21 on ND has to choose between trying to make a play on the ball carrier or putting a lick on Shea.  He chose the latter, but didn't get much of a hit--just a glancing shove.  He has his back to Tru as he crosses the goal line.  He probably didn't have much of a chance of stopping Tru, but it struck me as odd that he didn't even really try to.

The best thing to happen to Jonathan Jones on Saturday is the game turning into a blowout, making his mistake irrelevant.

Even I feel terrible for the kid and it's rare for me to feel anything but contempt toward ND.

Ace, good call on non-voting. The instant the title popped up, and even before I saw any frame, I had roughly the same thought you did: how in the hell would I be able to choose?
