Colin Cowherd's take on Notre Dame's national football perception shrinking
Replies to: Colin Cowherd's take on Notre Dame's national football perception shrinking
Cowherd once proclaimed Charlie Weiss a genius
And he was right! I mean, just contemplate his earnings per victory.
I do think that ESPN made a concerted effort to ignore ND this year.
But that aside, this is on Kelly And Swarbrick.
Jenkins selling his soul for secular humanism hardly seems worth it then...

Geez we lost by one point and everybody is pointing fingers already. I think we are as relevant as
ever. We are just not quite that good yet. Wimbush has a strong arm and great legs but he does not see the field well yet both passing and hitting the holes running. He could have scored going up the middle in the last game and took it wide and we ended up with a field goal on one occasion.
He's right.

Of course he is. We are an anachronism in today's CFB, and a marginally relevant one at best.

Everybody gets talked about less when they're losing, but that doesn't tell you anything
Few people were talking about Alabama football (outside of Alabama) before Saban came along either. And when he leaves, and they (hopefully) drop into a giant sinkhole, nobody will talk as much about them then either.
But I'm not sure what that means.
If you want to know the status of a football program, look at two things: (1) how much hype the program gets when it wins a few games, and (2) how much fans from other teams hate that program. If ND starts a season 3-0, the whole world is inundated with ND football articles. And most of the college football world still hates you guys and roots against you. That means you're not irrelevant.
By contrast, when, say, Oklahoma State is good and is winning, people still don't care. And nobody outside of Oklahoma actually roots for OK State to lose games. Again, people just don't care.
If ND and USC take care of business over the next month, we can all see how irrelevant ND is based on the level of pregame hype.
What he fails to mention
Why many Notre Dame fans sold their tickets in the first place? Yes, being disgruntled after a 4-8 season is one possibility. However, Colin failed to mention that the Notre Dame-Georgia ticket was the highest priced ticket in all of College Football this season. So maybe his theory of the shrinking Notre Dame profile might not hold water. Because there are still a ton of people that want to see them play.
Except our very own (sellout) fans?

That may be but the fact that UGA fans spent $1000 per ticket does say a lot about their fans, going
on the trip to ND is like visiting a famous landmark or museum. Most of those fans traveled for the experience, to witness the cradle of college football, not to see a good ND football game. Sad but true. Had ND still been a top flight program, they might have put 40,000 butts in the seats for $1500 a pop.
Based on Colin's wording of his article I believe he needs to increase his dose of opioids

It's not an article
It's a transcript of a 2 minute segment of his garbage show.
Replace the word article with transcript in my previous post

And, yet...there he is, on his NATIONAL show, talking about ND

You have to admit he has a point. ND is basically irrelevant now

He means irrelevant in the sense of athletics, not tradition.

I don't believe I have ever seen you write something positive
about this football program. In this regard only, you kinda suck.
Should we be positive? We went 4-8 last year and this year is looking the same already!

Yes we should. Were two games in dude. Two. We lost one
of them by a point.
Kelly lack of passion has to concern you, right?

Again with the "we". Very sad that a B10 fan would be so obsessed with his betters.

Again with the unrelated big 10 comments. Cant even have a discussion without your personal attacks

You are an anti-ND troll. You state what you WISH were true

Half the state of Georgia who attended the game last weekend would disagree
You wouldn't believe the number of Dawg fans that I met who were absolutely thrilled to be there, and this was before the game.
Sure, it was a bucket list visit for a lot of them as the teams usually don't play.
ND is on life support living off its past and tradition. That's why they were there, to see and experirnce that.
Exactly
There being at the game had nothing to do with the relevancy of our football team
As hunker dog above just confirmed.

They Care More Than We (a bunch of golf clappers) Do
If we cared, we wouldn't stand for this. Look at that stadium (a veritable taj mahal) and look at the money flowing into the University, and there is zero consequence for our teams being mediocre. As long as we're mediocre, our old rich guys will still keep funding the university with stories of Tim Brown's Glory Days. Just win, baby.
ND is far from irrelevant;may be in need of a recharge
a dose of energy, but will never be irrelevant..
From a historical perspective they will never be irrelevant, but from a competitive football
take they are working their way into the abyss.
This is what he means
