Fantastic post. Thanks also for acknowledging that we do indeed have a different way that we go about our business compared to UGA, Florida and LSU. They do have some great players no doubt but they do jaw way too much, taunt other players, poke eyes and self-hype too much. (From what I understand though, after all that jawing and we started running the ball down Georgia's throats, Chance Warmack (OL) started telling Georgia players the ball was coming over him, try to stop it).
Something I did want to say about your boys (The Great Fighting Irish) -- I pointed out to my son -- look how Coach Kelly has these men still playing even if they were getting beat, they didn't stop. Yes they did get gassed a few times, but they did not quit. That to me was very commendable. Very proud of our team but honestly, I was proud of the way the Irish never quit.
I'm sorry for you this was not a more enjoyable game but you can bet Coach Kelly understands what level he has to get his men up to. I have no doubt he can eventually accomplish this. I just hope we're not his victims but life has a funny way of working out that way. We may be the guys who get beat when that time comes. I hope we're as classy about it though as you obviously are. It's all cyclicle. One team can be up and then down very quickly -- see Auburn 2010 (maybe a bad example as it was way faster than usual due to winning the wrong way). I digress. Go Irish!!! Roll Tide Roll!!!
