I’m not sure he was even our 5th best recruiter this year.

I forget, Bill. Which BCS NC Game did Stanford appear in? I’ve got time. I’ll wait for you to look it up.

You have a mind more suited to studying the primary colors chart than analyzing football, sir.

It’s possible to express a preference for a particular coaching style, but using stats to inform one’s view is generally preferred.

The 2012 red zone defense allowed the fewest yards per play in the nation and 19(?) consecutive quarters without a rushing TD. Labeling that body of work as “good, not great” would be intellectually dishonest.

I don’t think the defense will miss a beat. I’ve heard Bob’s defense is complicated and that’s why some players haven’t seen the field early. I hate to see the d line a yard, yard n a half off of the ball. I think it will be good to get some fresh blood on the coaching staff on both sides of the ball.

Alabama exposed the defense last year for what it was, good, no great. Forget the stats. I won’t miss him.

I’d “posi-spin” (my other favorite phrase from today) it the other way: “did you see that heavily updated 1879 Walter Camp forward pass Tommy threw to DaVaris?” But let’s focus in on what’s important: what, sir, must ND do to “get real”? I think we start and stop the conversation by kicking the women out. It all went downhill after that.

You missed “heavily updated” or, in other words, “completely different”.

So Bill 76, (if that is your real name), let me understand this, we should run an offense from 1940? Is this going forward by going backward? Very Taoist idea. By the way, is your favorite movie Turk 182 by any chance?

UConn…really? Why? Non-football school, no recruiting advantage, no talent, no history. I hope he doesnt linger there and lose hope because all he can muster are 4-win seasons. Should have waited another year or for a better location.
