Also they as I, think it will be much harder winning a Natty at Lsu, much tougher competition.
Kelly will win but man the pressure he will be under is gonna be interesting.
Weird to me but he did double his salary.
This also comes from the age of Kornheiser, Wilbon, and Lebatard. I?m early 40?s. When I was a kid, Notre Dame was a heralded program with a rich and storied history full of tradition. It was dying then, and no one wanted to see it. It?s been down for so long, but they are older than me and because of what it was during so much of their lives, they can?t see it for what it is. To them, those embers are just a raging fire waiting to ignite when in all reality, it?s probably over performing where it is. The fire is dying. That?s partially why I think they said that.

Not jumping into the rest of the conversation, but wanted to share where I believe that comment came from.
