and hand-wringing on this board lately has been a huge drag. I would think we should be enjoying being 3 -0. Our defense has looked very good and Wimbush looks to be getting better (as most qbs do in their second year of starti g). As others have stated, we are not at the practices and don't have the insight the coaches do. We can piss and moan and say we should be Alabama or Ohio State, but we do require "student" athletes and as far as I know don't pay our players or give them Escalades.
Let's enjoy each week and continue to support Wimbush, the o-line, receivers, special teams, coaches, etc. Call me a homer if you like, but I believe we are more like the team that beat Michigan than the team that beat Ball State.
Time will tell. Go Irish!
Wimbush getting better?
It is a huge indictment of this coaching staff that he isn't.
There will always be a subset of whiners.
deteriorate into "that"..Let's stay behind our lads, who are giving their all..When the lose, you want to find fault, fine, have had it...but all the handwringing now is ridiculous
GO IRISH!
Yes.....Will do... Still want improved QB play and an offense that excels.

Group think is bad!
ND alums are by nature self critical and concerned about performance against high standards.

it’s very difficult to enjoy this 3-0 knowing how ugly it’s been so far. You have to account for history. And history tells us we are heading for a let down against the tough part of our schedule if things don’t change. Why be content with 9-3 and a sub par bowl game year after year?
If ND was truly the underdog and we knew that we lacked talent and 3-0 was over achieving it would be very easy to be excited about it. But we have underachieved in reaching 3-0 so far.
That’s why I “complain and moan”.
