@jacksoble56@EHansenND It’s called elimination hoops. But you’re supposed to start at the corner of the baseline and sideline and then dribble to the free throw line after every made shot.
@jordancornette Does this current model of NIL make any financial sense? It can’t be remotely as valuable as football. In Notre Dame’s audits, there is a section titled ‘Auxiliary Enterprises’, which includes sports. It states that every enterprise must be self-sufficient.
@jordancornette Calling for a coaching change is only an algebraic solution; that is, by isolating the variable, you can fix the problem.
Instead, we should view it as a calculus challenge; that is, the measurement of the rate of change and irregular shapes. There are many moving parts.
@Aaron_Torres@AaronTorresPod The Hoosiers win due to good coaching and solid fundamentals. Cignetti’s experience as a recruiting coordinator and in roster mgmt has worked, particularly in attracting players to transfer down to Indiana. Pat Coogan is a perfect example; he couldn’t start at Notre Dame.
@dandakich The Irish could have defeated the Hoosiers for the national championship. Instead, ESPN, the selection committee, SEC, and ACC robbed the Irish of that opportunity. There was no up-side in playing a minor bowl, and it was a good way to stick it to those entities.
@Bamablood1974 You’re correct that Notre Dame could have defeated Indiana. Despite some deficiencies in place kicking, short yardage rushing, and pass coverage (at one CB), the Irish possessed star RBs, competent WRs, rush stuffing and QB pressure defense, one lock-down CB, and good ST.
@tbhorka Agreed. 4 weeks ago, I thought that the playoff would have broken ND’s way. Yes, the place kicking and short yardage / goal line rushing for the offense were problems. However, the other teams had more flaws, which would have allowed the Irish to win a championship.
