Well Pete was classy but wouldn't you have preferred he call out the SEC, Alabama, and ESPN as there
was no doubt that they were the rug pullers. Miami deserved in, Alabama not.

I would like the ref. situation be addressed

That was never the point(s) he was going to make
He, and ND is po'ed about two things:
1. changing the "rules" in the middle of the game and misleading the team by manipulating the rankings after the fact. He has called it a "hoax" and a "farce." That is really strong....I'm not sure what else you expect him to say.
2. The ACC actively lobbying against ND who is a member of the ACC in 24 sports and a very valuable "partner" in football. He didn't have a problem with Miami lobbying, just the ACC taking sides against a member of the conference. He said that the relationship is "damaged."
The fact that ND pulled themselves out of the bowl game is also a very strong statement. I'm willing to be that ND will eventually do more.
I'm not sure why anyone would expect more than that. All the nastiness of the committee will come out and I suspect the ACC will do something via an apology in time. Delaney has limited ability to do much since he works for the ACC, where many members want ND in the conference for football, and his ties to ND leave him with little wiggle room.
Penn State over estimated their importance in the world of college football. Don't make threats
until you have all your bases covered and your plans are certain to come to fruition. What may be taking place behind the scenes is more important than what is said in public imo.
I appreciated him talking about how good this team is/was this year. I believe they would have made
considerable noise in the playoffs, if allowed to participate. Best team ND has had since Lou Holtz imo.
Even the haters believe/know that.
Easiest way to win a Tournament is exclude best competition.
I'm sure that would have made a lot of us feel better
But not sure doing that would advance ND's agenda going forward. What he needs to do and say needs to be done behind the scenes. A public meltdown doesn't do ND any good. It would only box ND into a corner that might have no good exit similar to what happened to the CFP committee during their weekly rankings.
You gave me a mature response that is probably correct in the long run, but I am having a meltdown
myself which is just the way my immature self reacts. I was one of the dumber, less mature ND grads any way. I just don't like the injustice of it and to my credit I can see Miami's reasoning.
Re: I'm sure that would have made a lot of us feel better
Fully agreed.
Agreed.

He apparently thinks he’s smarter than PB

Putting the ACC on notice - F you others will take us
