    FWIW, Notre Dame has a giant national fanbase and I haven't heard anything about any of them getting much.

    I think the issue is that this team isn't particularly talented in the trenches and isn't well coaches. SDSU is a good team. The problem was not that they lost to SDSU yesterday. The problem was how they looked losing to them.
    Yes I can agree to that.
    I guess every year its hard for this team to play lights out football every game... These young guys are going to have a down game or a let down game and can't play perfect all the time....again we have seen such good football with this program week to week its hard NOT to EXPECT the BEST when they play....
    They looked flat, no pressure on Rabbits at all from front 7?
    Cam looked great leading the way for 2 series then it looked scattered, or my wife said, he looks nervous, but I think his play choices didn't help him.

    SDSU is as good as they have ever been. That being said, if our boys want to get back to Frisco then lets hope they want a RING more then the Marker...

    Good feedback thanks, I shouldn't of ranted the day after, but I just hope our coaches know what the hell they are doing....

    We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie

    The last decade of excellence has us believing if we don't win the conference or get to Frisco our program is failing....
    We are spoiled I agree.
    Each team needs to find their identity.
    Each new coaching staff must find what works for their players.
    But when they don't play to their potential and the coaches don't put these players in position to be successful I have the right to say, " WTH".
    Ive traveled to many of the former FBS big Preseason games been there cheering for this team and love the Herd to death!
    SDSU has had the same coach for 16 years since transition Stiggy is the only guy, as we have gone through many coaching staffs with success after continued success so I guess I need to catch my breath to give these young players time to find their way through the season.

    So I digress, will try to maintain the big picture, Dakota Marker loss can go to SDSU but the NATTY will come to us is what we usually have accomplished most years....so I'll hang in there.

    Old School fans maybe old school, but seeing is believing if certain trends continue over time... Yes we are still #1 and its all in front of us fans, so I'll sit back and just hang in there....

    Be Herd. Thanks fellas for many comments on my post...
    I'm mostly just playing. There were a lot of things to be disgusted about yesterday, and it definitely starts at the top. I just don't think social media/personalities are really the issue. It's easy to look at it that way when things don't go right, but you have to remember these kids have spent their entire lives on social media. It's not like this is some new found toy that's a distraction - this is woven into the fiber of their lives - no matter how bad/detrimental you or anyone else thinks it is to them, not having it would be more of a disruption than having it. Klieman figured this out early on in his tenure and it was not an issue. Think of it as your generation's(making assumptions here) "rock music" and how your parents viewed that it was going to corrupt you. We can argue whether that was true or not(I kid, I kid), but I think you get the point.

    Give me a break. Let me guess, these snowflakes also are the first ones to call the younger generation a snowflake too, huh? What an embarrassing thing to worry about. I bet y'all scream MuH fReEduMbS at the same time too right?

    Yeah you go with that.

    When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.

    It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

    I'm going to go as far as wishing there was more of it. It teaches players the business side of life but more importantly, it encourages mature behavior. I would rather see Phoenix endorse a local businesses than Marcus collecting signatures

    Nobody had a problem with Jedre Cyr working in his dads trucking business. ESPN even did a story on him.
