I think we’re going to lose the ball here.

awesome way to start a game...
Parish has been getting killed lately too

That was retarded
Why wouldn’t you just go for it. Im glad they wasted a TO, but I would have just quick snapped it and ran it off guard.
This space for rent.
agreed
I’m not a big fan of trying to draw them offsides – it just doesn’t seem to work that often. If you have a run offense like Navy – and especially if you’re a huge underdog like Navy – just run your best short-yardage play and try to win the game.

and then that happened.
I am getting a bad feeling about this game, im sure Im gonna need to keep the Rolaids near by.

I think Navy will give us trouble early, but I think we’ll pull away in the second half. Stopping them on the goal line here would be huge, obviously. As would not turning the ball over anymore.

Navy apparently hates Time Outs
and that was a textbook example on how to shoot a gap.

do they think they get 3 more in the second half?
I guess if you’re going to use 2 timeouts on one drive, you better get a TD out of it.
by long time listener on Nov 7, 2009 3:09 PM EST up reply actions
*second QUARTER
Obviously, they get 3 more in the second half.
by long time listener on Nov 7, 2009 3:10 PM EST up reply actions
I was thinking...
that it would be a neat rule if you were given all 6 time outs to start the game… But only 3 carried over. More than likely it wouldn’t change much since rarely are all 3 timeouts used in a first half.

Floyd looks good again
I’m still sick thinking about what might have been if he was healthy for the USC game.

I dont get running the "wildcat"
vs a defense that plays against an option offense every day
This space for rent.
I don't get it at all when you have a QB like Clausen
The wildcat makes sense when you don’t have a great QB and you want to get the ball into the hands of your best players as much as possible. But Clausen is their best offensive player, and the offense works best when he’s getting the ball to Tate, Floyd, etc.
by long time listener on Nov 7, 2009 3:20 PM EST up reply actions
not only that...
but the last team in the country thats going to get fooled by an option offense is Navy…
And awesome discipline on covering the pitch..

I dont ever rememeber a year

obvious statement
We need a TD on this drive. Can’t get inside the 10 and come away with 3 in this situation.
by long time listener on Nov 7, 2009 3:36 PM EST reply actions
that goes double when you have 1st-and-goal inside the 2
by long time listener on Nov 7, 2009 3:38 PM EST up reply actions
thankfully
we followed that up with a 3 yard loss

terrible play call on 1st down
Why pitch it wide to a defense that’s strength is its quickness? Why not pound it up the middle 4 times?

that was a clinic

those 4 plays were a fireable offense

nope

So Navy drives down the field and scores as time expires...
then gets the ball back right?
This space for rent.
yep
We could be looking at 28-0 with about 11 minutes left in the 3rd quarter.
by long time listener on Nov 7, 2009 4:04 PM EST up reply actions
Who thought we'd be down 14-0 at the half?
And grateful that it was only 14-0?

What does Charlie do...
if we get the Meineke Car Care bowl?

I guess thats better than eating a used tire...
and is this the longest half time break ever? The time used for commercial breaks is way longer than the actual time used for game.

you're just watching the clock
for your BBQ.. lol…
it was a long break— probably Navy band did something special… probably shut out the ND band.
the nightmare begins
i hate this game
have youheard navy tries hard?
this is the dirtiest team on the schedule, that cheap shot on blanton was worse than what spikes did… a dive at a guys knees 50 yards from the ball
I keep wanting to say that not having Armando
is killing us, but really is there an excuse to be scoreless against this team?

Everytime the full back gets the carry..

by long time listener on Nov 7, 2009 4:37 PM EST reply actions
I think they wanted the 5 yards for cushion...
which still didn’t prevent the touchback

1st and goal at the 1
Let’s see how they blow this.

This game keeps getting better...
Navy gets their first passing touchdown in like 7 years, and now Randolph looks to be done.
At least they didn’t get that fumble.
This space for rent.
Also...
not that I ever root for injuries… But with the way Navy’s offense is set up, if any one of those guys got hurt, I think they could just plug in the next guy and do fine. Because its not like their guys are breaking tackles, they are just running through enormous holes caused by deception.
This space for rent.
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!!!
How hard is it to have one fucking linebacker watch that guy… He gets the ball every third fucking play.
This space for rent.
it's like we just keep having
to hope for a broken play.. that seems to be the only time they get stopped.
Its absolutely ridiculous that we have pretty much moved the ball at will...
and have 7 points to show for it.
This space for rent.
game over
And a late hit on Clausen. If you’re going to throw a game-clinching INT, might as well get your money’s worth.
by long time listener on Nov 7, 2009 5:27 PM EST reply actions
That noise you just heard?
Yeah, it was the sound of NDs BCS hopes as well as Jimmy’s and Golden’s heisman/maxwell, et all, chances blowing up.
I dont think you can blame this loss
(assuming that we do lose) on Weis. Its hard to beat a team who plays pretty much flawlessly. This game has been absolutely ridiculous though.
Im out, gonna go to my BBQ, hopefully I get back with some good news.
This space for rent.
we've still got a shot
But only if we can get a 3-and-out.
by long time listener on Nov 7, 2009 5:52 PM EST reply actions
this is the game right here
and if we can’t stop them on 3rd-and-six, we don’t deserve to win.
by long time listener on Nov 7, 2009 5:54 PM EST reply actions
we've still got a prayer
We’ll probably get the ball at about our 35-40 with 1:45 to go
by long time listener on Nov 7, 2009 5:58 PM EST up reply actions
I was off by a good 25 yards
This is going to take a miracle. Or a Tate-acle.

embarrassing
Charlie Weiss, please update your resume.

Turnovers are what did us in...
you can’t turn the ball over against a team that doesn’t make mistakes, few penalties… No Turnovers.

Failure to score TDs in the red zone
did ND in, despite a decided advantage in size and talent, and of course, the decided schematic advantage Weis brings ND.
I always turn to the sports section first. The sports page records people's accomplishments; the front page has nothing but man's failures.

Fair enough...
but turnovers played a big part, especially with one of them (or was it two of them) coming in the red zone… hell at the goal line.
Having said that, I still think its Charlie’s arrogance that will do him in.

You may not be good enough for Brian Kelly
He’s looking at Michigan because Rich Rod is toast there.
"I think it's safe to say our concerns are many." -- Kirk Ferentz
Which is ridiculous...
Rich Rod was left with absolutely nothing, and he has only had 2 recruiting classes to completely make over that team to his spread style. Michigan getting rid of him now would be a waste. Maybe he isn’t the right guy, but he deserves a third year.

by averagegatsby on Nov 7, 2009 8:03 PM EST up reply actions
Do you read the paper?
the guy who hired him is gone and Dick Rod has serious baggage. And MIch does not do Baggage. He might be gone. I would say it is 50/50 if Kelly is willing to leave.
The only victory he has had in two years is….ND
"I think it's safe to say our concerns are many." -- Kirk Ferentz
whats a paper?
Im not saying its not possible, Im just saying its ridiculous to not give him one more year. He has one more “big win” in 2 years than Weis does. Dont get me wrong, I would love to see Rich Rod somewhere other than Michigan because I think he is a good coach, but to fire him because he cant win with a bunch of nobody’s who dont fit his system isn’t fair.
