Yeah. I get it from your POV. But like you said, to the “casual”….

Agreed. And amount of years. Total at any level.

I hope this works out for him, but man, to be in 4 programs in 4 years is a bit much. I would like to see restrictions on how often you can use the portal put in place.

not good...adults just let this go on.....

And for the handful of people on this forum who get this….you're welcome.

Yep took a deeper dive to see if there was something in his background. Nothing there. Grew up in South Carolina. Went to Boston College. I am guessing he wanted to fire up the Bears fans with his comment, but should have said beating the Packers twice a year. No clue why he chose to say LaFleur instead of Green Bay.

I am not so sure I agree with much of your sentiment. This feels like the "old way of ND thinking" and not sure that view is going to fly much longer in the future. I believe patience is wearing thin by many. The ACC bailed quickly on ND when it came to advocating with conference teams for the CFB. That is knowing that ND has the 5 game agreement with them for football and other major sports (except hockey) are in their conference. Yet this still didn't matter...they turned their back on ND without hesitation. I'm not so sure the SEC or Big 10 is "chomping at the bit" to admit ND to their conferences. In the past, I do think the Big 10 really wanted them to join. But that was prior to adding more schools. They have not forgotten ND spurning their offer and will never agree to ND having their own major network TV contract. ND in the SEC is not really a fit...not sure they want a "Yankee" school in their conference and an "uppity school" in their eyes. They already have Vandy. They will also never agree to ND having their own TV deal. The best fit for ND by far is the Big 10, and I think there will need to be some fences mended on the part of ND with some of the schools that have influence. From the past spurn of joining the conference to dropping some of the schools from ND schedule in recent years. I believe the Big 10 will believe "they hold the cards" when it comes to future negotiating. ND was left out on an island during this year's CFB selections...no one advocated for them and why should a P4 conference do so, when their responsibilities comes first to their conference members. ND is now the ONLY major football power that is independent....I believe their scheduling will get more difficult with P4 teams. Making friends is pretty darn important. I do agree that the landscape will change more, and there is something to possibly waiting....just not sure the Irish have all the time they wish to make that call.

I don’t recall the announcers making much of this, but they were talking about Stevenson (I think) jogging while Love was running to gain a 1/10 and still in bounds. I get not hurting your team with a late hit, but man was it a bad look for Stevenson. Your clip provided, yeah, gotta get physical there for the boys.

It was on ESPN Sportscenter. Maybe 15 minutes after the game. There was really nothing groundbreaking in the interview besides the timing of that question. He is acting quite arrogant. The handshake after the game was simply childish imo.

So was Mr. McManus allowed to ride to back to Green Bay with the team, or was he given a cab ride to O'Hare and told to get as far away from Lambeau field as possible?

While the Packers deserved to lose, this is something George Halas would have never said, or as an owner, allow his coach to say. Appreciate the rivalry and the intensity that comes with it, but be better Ben. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1485263446672466/?fs=e&fs=e

For Coach!
