Or play Navy the last game on an aircraft carrier off Aruba, Grand Cayman, etc. Gives a month to heal before
before the march to the national championship.

In reply to Skinner7irish. Add Florida to the list of teams that helped us out on Saturday. Heaven only knows why we got leapfrogged by Arizona State, but with this week's game ahead, it's irrelevant anyway.

Bonger, did Kelly state in a press conference that the reason he had McDaniel in at RB in the fourth quarter was because of pass blocking? If so I missed it. And if so, Kelly is an idiot

I feel horrible from Joe but it was a fluke injury and not due to some vicious cut block. I know some fans want us to stop playing Navy but its not ever going to happen. However, I would like to see them play the opening game of the year. I dont see why we cant make that happen. Make it a new tradition with an old traditional rival. Play it in a netural site every year for all I care but at least then we should come into the game healthy and would’ve had all summer to get mentally ready for this offense. Swarbrick, let’s be smart about this…You’ve done a fantastic job and it will be in our teams best interest to do this long term. I know the next few years are all set but pick a year down the road and make this switch permanent. That is all. Go Irish rest up and lets beat ASU!

@flirish:

You are really bad at spelling our players’ names. *Golson (not “Godson” nor “Goldson”); Brindza (not “Brinza”); Folston (not foltosn); McDaniel (not Mcdaniels)

I don’t get this team and I don’t know how good they are. Sometimes they look like world beaters and 5 minutes later like the Keystone Cops. Perhaps this is the youth that Coffey referenced. But let’s keep in mind from whence we came. At the beginning of the year I don’t think many of us would have envisioned being one blown call away from undefeated, and bitching (rightfully) about #10 in the playoff polls. Truth is these lads have sick, sick, sick potential. Hope they reach it sooner rather than later.

So, so bummed about Joe. What a guy, what a story. In the words of Yoda, “Need that, we did not.”. Heal up fast Joe and good luck with surgery!

Coach Kelly took the blame for making a poor call on Golson’s pick but it didn’t include the pick caused by a poorly thrown pass. Overall,
the offense played well and scored when they had to.

Navy was 4 and 4, so 4 teams figured out how to defense Navy. I would have expected BVG to have taken some wisdom from those games.

Teams that helped us out: usc and asu (Michigan? Maybe and Florida)
Teams that did NOT help us out: stanford, wvu (blew that one), ok. St., ole miss (better they had beaten auburn as they will most likely lose to miss st and auburn could then take care of bama for us), Louisville (21-0?! -_-), Arkansas. (Illinois, because no one likes tosu)

Best case, Kansas state can beat tcu then loses to one of their remaining tough schedule, Ohio state beats mich state (hardest thing I ever had to write), Oregon loses to Utah or pac 12 south rep ( hopefully asu or usc), and a sec west bloodbath (bama loses to lsu and auburn, auburn loses to Georgia and sec title, miss st loses to bama and ole miss, and ole miss loses to Arkansas)…. Or something like this

Oh and Florida state loses badly to nd in rematch 🙂

In reply to flirish.

I didn’t say it was solely responsible, but it contributed. Golson’s pick meant ND went 12+ minutes without having the chance to score since Navy got the ball to start the second half.

I am impressed, though, that you found three different ways to spell his name in your post, none of them being correct.
