Quite frankly if you do not meet the objective of your job you get laid-off. So nobody should tell me "We are on track".<br /><br />Saying 8-4 (if we are lucky to get to 8-4) is an improvement over last season is only numerically correct.<br />You don't say to your child: Good Job, last year you had a "C-" this year you got a "C". What a great improvement, if you strive for the best.<br />I am not saying we have to go 12-0, but with this so-la-la schedule the objective was clear to go to a BCS game. Don't tell me what a "strong" schedule NDFB has. It has not. Compare it to LSU's schedule. We would be lucky to get out of that with a 4-8 finish.<br /><br />Apparently the coaches of our rivals: Hoke and Kiffin are all doing better, so woulda coulda shoulda. doesn't count. You can not build success on woulda coulda shoulda. It is an excuse for failure and see the obvious.<br /><br />Coming back to the Headline and taking our own medicine:<br />As Manti T'eo said in the Pep Rally: "History is written by the victors". <br />And the Victors decided ND quit. So don't complain.<br /><br />And guess what? I quit too. The game started at 2am in the morning (my local time). And i was up there. But all i needed to know, i saw during 1 quarter. I quit right before half-time. It was 3 am in the morning and it was not worth it to spoil the holy mass 5h later and the complete sunday.<br /><br />And by the way: USC had a very good game plan and they ran it down our throat. So kudos to Kiffin. And we looked like pre-schoolers.<br /><br />Well, lets keep the Jumbotron and field turf rant for another comment... :-)<br /><br />Go Irish!
