I'm so against piling on the ND-PSU animosity this thread has turned towards (but love the rivalry). Both programs have faithful alumni and are clawing their way back into the national picture, overcoming their own unique obstacles.
Congrats to the Irish on landing Anzalone. Either school would have provided a top-notch education and football opportunity. Nothing against Alex - good luck, young man or the Irish/Kelly for landing him.
But this whole "brand" thing is what irks the fans of other schools. McDondalds has the biggest food brand in the country. Walmart has the biggest brand in retail. Coke has the biggest brand in soft drinks. Budweiser has the biggest brand in beer. But none of those have high-quality products. They are mass-marketed giants with mediocre at best products. The Irish haven't lost fewer than 3 games since 1993 and won 2 of 12 Bowl games since then.
But at least you have the "brand". Duh-duh-duh-duh-duuuh. I'm lovin' it.

Grue!! I understand the point you were trying to make, but did you have to attack Coke! And Walmart! Bargain shopping and coca cola is America! I guess Mickey D's and budweiser kinda represent us too... #Merica

I'm sorry, but this was a pointless post. I get the joke and all, but we have no room to be discussing and joking about what ifs at other teams expenses. None.

lol. I love #Merica too. And all of those products! But I'm not buying an interview suit at Walmart or a craft microbrew at A-B or my steak at McD.

I don't like this ND is the McDonald's of college football stuff. McD's is way too popular today. What's something that huge in the 40s and now only old people buy? That would be more fitting.

You do realize that EVERY other program in the country feels this way about our current recruiting class, right?

Definitely do, but I do not see OB getting canned from one bad year. All the positives that he has injected into our school and football program are exactly what the University needs right now.

Holy $hit, can you guys be any more butthurt over this?
Geez, people need to grow up. These AA/ND threads have been embarrassing.

I don't really care about losing AA, that's not why I started this thread. I just don't believe in Brian Kelly as a good coach. Their recruiting class is really impressive in terms of quality guys, Bob Diaco is one helluva recruiter. I was just asking a legitimate question because of the way he handles himself on the sidelines. I just dont see ND dealing with someone so volatile and negative on the field, if he can't produce some winning seasons.
Three times NBC had to blur his mouth out during the Michigan game last year....just saying.

No one heard of Kelly until his one good season at Cinci. So it doesn't matter. A couple of 6 win seasons and he is gone. Bring in the next over-hyped coach.

I can't blame you for having this take on it. I mean, that's what ND has done for decades now. But that doesn't make it what's best for them, and hopefully it doesn't mean they will continue to.

Someone said ND took both our LB targets and I am saying how can they take both when Jaylon Smith was never considering PSU.
