Do Notre Dame players still believe in Kelly?

Rome was not built in one season.

Thr real question is does NBC still believe in Notre Dame?

And a very astute question it is.

Yeah it only took 1300 years for Rome....so they have some wiggle room on recruitment....

NONSENSE! He's had FOUR GAMES to prove himself! Geez, is this guy EVER going to get things turned around?

Time to bring back Good-Time Charlie! Now THAT guy knew how to coach 'em up!

If RR is still at Michigan after the way his first two seasons went I think ND will have plenty of patience with BK. What would they prefer? A great first season (like Ty and CW) followed by the rapid decline that followed?

They should have won the MSU game. That was just a gutsy call by MSU. Additionally, it didn't help that the refs were also pulling for Stanford yesterday. There should have been an offsides call on Stanford's defense and personal foul for the hit they put on Crist. Additionally, the Irish defense stuffed that Stanford runningback on that short gain and they still spotted him with the first down. All in all, the Irish should have been more competitive, but seriously, those calls were blown.

Let's hope they can muster some courage, motivation, whatever and play well against Boston College next week. And if they lose a few more times, they still need to give BK a chance. The Irish offense is completely different this season; let him get that offense established with the players from the Weis era and let BK get some of his recruits in there. It might be a long road, longer than we thought it would be, but the Irish will be back.

I agree... That MSU game really took the wind out of the sails of the boys at ND... they need to regroup and pull a good "W" ; especially when they are running a new offense... If they would've taken that State game, it woulda been something, granted a little something, to believe and build on...

You gotta give Kelly a few years to recruit his kind of players... he's got a few to build a core from... Teo's just all over the field but he needs help...

Stuart MacDougal, are you serious??? You stated the following: "it didn't help that the refs were also pulling for Stanford yesterday", are you high on drugs? You sound like a whiner, coming on this site to complain about the refs. Get over it, Stanford kicked ND A-S-S, period!!!!

I'm not saying that he's right about the refs having it in for ND, but he's 100% correct about the calls that he mentioned.

Good point, but most college games have good and bad calls. Should we go back and dissect evey good or bad call, of each game we watched yesterday? IMO, when my team gets their A-S-S handed to them, I sure don't come on to FN and start blaming the refs.

How is Boise holding on to their coach?

LMFAO!!!!!

Where is the official weekly "ND got screwed by the refs" thread?? That applies even after blowouts, doesn't it???

It was apparent very early in that game the horns were in trouble. Man oh man.

In all fairness, ND's 2 year bowl ban is up after this season, and after the sanctions end they should really turn things around. I'm thinking 2015. Seems like the only person to jump ship thus far is, appropriately, Piratey.

Oregon State let the Big Conferences down again. Will the BSU Problem never go away?!
