Get real! Alabama is loaded and if Buchner magically changes and starts playing great for Bama!!! THAT is NOT good for Notre Dame.
At some point people like you (and Goolsby apparently) need to decide if you are "ND fans" or fans of "players/coaches" you favor and predicted to be good, that now you desperately need to succeed, so that you can be right...to the point that even when they jump ship over to our sworn enemies that represent the polar opposite of everything ND stands for, you will still pull for them (and by connection our enemy) to have great success.
I'm not saying you gotta root against the kid, but he's not Irish anymore BY CHOICE, and he switched to the dark side, so you shouldn't be hoping he has great success under an enemy flag..that is opposite to supporting ND.
Any Irish player or coach, who leaves us to go to the likes of Bama, Tosu, USC, LSU, Miami.....or michigan!! Should not expect our support, and we should not give it.
