yes indeed. thank you ND football.

I set my alarm for 8:59am PDS time but wish I would have gone back to bed. We marched down the field on the first drive like we've done all season long; Crist tries to fall into the enzone from where he got the snap. And it got worse.

For the 8th time this year, the problem isn't so much our new players getting outplayed, it's the lack of awareness of the coaching staff. Navy hasn't changed their offense in about a decade, and it didn't look like there was any kind of plan in place to defend it.

As if it wasn't bad enough, we're killing the student managers now. One of the guys filming from the towers fell to his death in heavy winds, and check out his twitter feed right before it happened:



What the **** are the football staff doing?

Yikes, that's awful.

fkd up

I filmed coaches video in college and I can say without a doubt this situation is ****ed up.

there was not a single practice in the 3 years that I did video that we didn't know the weather conditions for that day's practice. We learned on day one not to be a hero and hang out on those lifts just to keep filming when the weather got bad. The coaches understood this and I never met a coach who would expect anything otherwise. Even if the coaches did want practice filmed despite the weather conditions, the video coordinator has to stand up to the coaches if nothing else for liability issues, let alone for the fact that he's responsible for the safety conditions of the volunteer/minimum wage earning students he employs. Lets not forget that ND has a perfectly viable indoor facility for just such an occasion.

nothing about this makes sense, and even though this kid doesn't seem to be the brightest of the bunch seeing as how he's tweeting about these conditions and knew full well what to expect going into practice, somebody is responsible for sending him up on that lift and/or not warning him of imminant weather conditions and telling him to come down. This got by way too many people and pretty much everybody involved in organizing practice some somewhat responsible.

wow.... that's awful. WTH

Fire everyone.

ND will definitely be getting sued here. Very unfortunate for the student, just awful overall.

Yeah that's beyond ****ed up. Can't believe that nobody raised the question about him being up there.

.

wtf

This will likely never see a jury trial. However it would be an interesting court case since the twitter records show P being aware of the wind and danger.

nah i don't think it would. him being aware of the danger doesn't absolve nd of liability afaik. but yeah nd is obviously just gonna shell out a few mil.

not here to joke at all...just wondering if anyone had any more insider type info...what did BK say? players?

awful.

i mean, on one hand you can say that if he was bright enough to be tweeting about the conditions, he should've gotten down.

but on the other, he's filming notre dame's practice. for all we know he could be living the ****ing dream...he's at notre dame, filming the football team's practice. he obviously felt some sort of pride/dedication about it, and probably lived to do it.

so sad.

was this at the practice field next to the soccer field?

just trying to see if it was the same setup that I saw when I visited.

i am kind of surprised there is nothing leaking out. even on an information lockdown situation you still have 100+ players on the field, coaches, managers, trainers, hanger-ons who are allowed into practice, etc who saw everything go down and might have been behind some closed doors. but there has been pretty much nothing.

I read the AD, Jack Swarbrick was on the field during the practice when it occured. I didn't know AD's did that.

Tulsa commits penalties. They are legitimate ones.

I thought Montana jr would be the backup after Mich game, I guess not as Rees looks good. Too bad for Montana, a perfect storm for him was brewing.

lol, oh my god.

EPIC FAIL

JFC why are we thowing the ball there?

If the students rush the field I hope there's a secret hatch for Kelly to escape too. That was the stupidest call he's ever made and that's beating out a lot of dumb competition.

Wow, throwing the ball in that spot is one of the worst calls I have ever seen! Nd should've never lost this game. Run the ball twice, kick a 30 yarder and gtfo with the win. With the freshman QB, and an awesome kicker, there is NO WAY you throw the ball there. Horrible horrible call.

One of the great alma mater's in ND history with Tulsa's band playing.
