Thanks man, congrats on the big win. You guys have an amazing program.
No shame in losing to one of the best dynasties in college football history. I wish they would have played up to their potential, but I'm still very proud of this team.
And I'm willing to bet Everett plays in one more NC game before he s done at ND.

Almost 24 hours later, so I can talk about this more rationally. Obviously a poor performance in which we were outclassed, but this Alabama program is special. 3 titles in 4 years and continual dominance in the nation's top conference. We ran into a buzzsaw, simple as that and I think there are only a handful of teams that can hang with Alabama, especially when Saban has a month to prepare. He is unmatched IMO in this modern era as far as coaching is concerned.
I also feel we were ahead of schedule this year. Some expected a good team from us this year, but if you predicted an unbeaten regular season from us before the season, you would have been laughed at considering we lost our top offensive threat and we had a 1st year starter at QB. That loss last night does not take away from a great season and that is something to build off of.
Now we have to work on maintaining that top recruiting class.

We thought it would too. Of course the defense has their worst game of the year in the most important game. SO MANY MISSED TACKLES UGH

Absolutely agree with everything. Especially the 2nd paragraph. Still an embarrassing defensive performance though.

| Remember Alabama got in only because of OSU's bowl ban. Without that the Tide would have ended their season last Wednesday. |

If the Eagles end up with Brian Kelly I'll be mad. And I will be very sorry.
And you all will hate me because I'm an Alabama fan and also an Eagles fan.
If it goes down, I'll be back with a gift basket for all the Notre Dame fans.

I don't think Kelly's in your face style would work in the NFL at all tbh.

This was a bad week for us. Hopefully we stop the leak of our momentum.

Hows our recruiting looking? I know Folston visited elsewhere. Hope we can keep who we got.
