Thanks, Frank. It's February following a 4-8 season and as a result of this article, I have
already drunk the Kool-Aid. It usually happens in and around August.
I'm with you...just wait until Spring Practice
When ND plays against itself and looks great! After that I fully expect to convince myself that a great season in the works.
Isn't that what being a fan is all about?
I don't get the approach some take of just being negative 100% of the time in February. Now is exactly the time of year to convince ourselves that Kelly and Co can turn this around and get back to where we all thought this program was just a year ago.
Oh, it's fan boy time no question.

Nice Work Frank! I think Driskell has the best perspective of any writer covering ND.
That's not to knock guys like Sampson and Hanson that have great access since they've been around so long.
The fact that Coach D is relatively new to covering ND (but not to covering college football) is what gives him the unique ability to compare ND to other programs...not just to compare ND's current situation to its previous situations (which is the perspective the long-timers can provide).
A very honest and fair article. Keep them coming.

Hey everyone, there is some GREAT stuff in here from Coach D @ BGI - definitely take a look
In particular I found it interesting that he didn't think Notre Dame falling behind in facilities was a major hurdle in recruiting.
I've never understood the facilities argument
Because I'll admit my ignorance to it.
Don't the ND players have the same workout equipment that other schools do?
Nope, ND only has Shake Weights.
In all honestly, it isn't that big of a deal. Excuses come out when you lose. Some of those excuses becomes positives when you win and others suddenly disappear.
Oregon's facilities are amazing. So are Nebraska's. Neither are brining in top 5 classes.
Alabama and Oregon have facilities that are better than some NFL teams
Notre Dame has facilities that rival those of mid-tier Big 10 schools at this point. They are in need of upgrades. The Crossroads project is upgrading facilities in the stadium such as locker rooms but the Gug needs some innovations and renovations.
the gug needs slides and a few nap rooms
