Laughing to keep from crying: top 10 reasons we lost to KU Reply

10. Athletic budget was not big enough to send the team to Houston for the Big XII Championship and to a bowl game, so we chose the bowl game.

 

9. Cyclone fans didn’t arrive inside Memorial Stadium early enough.

 

8. It was the Jayhawks’ Super Bowl.

 

7. The coaching staff made a strategic decision to save our players for the bowl game.

 

6. Our kickers have such a strong reputation in key situations, we thought we could leave it up to them.

 

5. The coaching staff was saving our timeouts for overtime.

 

4. We “took one for the team” to ensure that another of our conference brethren became bowl-eligible.

 

3. New AD Jamie Pollard had not yet had the true Cyclone experience...so we wanted him to share in this swift kick to the groin.

 

2. We had so much fun the first time we played a ranked, non-BCS conference opponent with a chip on its shoulder in its own backyard, that we decided to do it again.

 

And the number one reason we lost to KU…

1. Mark Mangino threatened to eat us if we won.

 

IMO #3 is the best.

Jeff Samardzija continues his domination at ND. 80 yard touchdown catch on the second play of the game and is now over 1,000 yards on the year and third all time at ND in yards, and could become the all-time leader very quickly. He's also tied for most TD catches (24) in the nation. Did I mention he's from my High School?

Do you know what the deal with him is ?? Is he gonna get drafted for baseball this year or will he be back for ND next year ??

Nobody knows. I hope he sticks with football, but he is the ace of the ND pitching staff too. If I were him, I would enter the NFL draft this year because his stock really can't get any higher, but I highly doubt him doing that.

Smardzija will be back next year playing receiver for the Irish. Book it.

f*** YOU WEIS!! PUT IN GIOIA!!! f*** YOU FITZPATRICK!!! Gioia graduated in the same class as Samardzija at my HS, and he does kickoffs and is the backup kicker. f***. Why would Weis put Gioia in, Gioia makes it, then Weis puts Fitzpatrick in again after he's already missed a fg and an Extra point.

f***ing Irish.  They are gonna piss this away.  Come on ND, DEFENSE, DEFENSE

 

They have totally dominated this game yet Stanford is in a great shot to win it.  They are on the 3 yard line with 1st and goal down by 6.

I. am. very. angry.

 

Fitzpatrick sucks. 2 missed field goals, 1 missed extra point. If they score a TD we are down by one. :(

 

Put in my hometown boy Gioia god damn it.
