    Let’s not get carried away just, because ND, and Ohio State were both undefeated. This was not a battle of 2 juggernauts, and neither was one of the two schools better teams from the past. Duke will be a tough game up next.

    I believe you are right on both accounts.

    The record, and place in the standings speaks for itself. Call it what you want. I expect nothing else from a Bloom guy.

    They’ve already named O’Halloran as exec VP of player ops, and Kennedy said he expects Cora to be back as manager, so it doesn’t some like the new person, or persons in charge will be totally in charge.

    The Red Sox are 4-14 in their last 18 games when at the start of the stretch the Red Sox were still in the postseason hunt. Bloom got the boot, and Cora needs to go too. If a new Person in charge comes in from the outside they deserve to pick their own manager unlike I believe Bloom was allowed to do. Cora is still living off the coattails of 2018 to some, and 2018 is long gone. Let’s make a clean sweep of baseball ops, or as much as possible.

    There were lots of other questionable calls too like on the last possession when after getting a first down run stuffed they tried a screen pass on 2nd down, which almost got picked off, but it stopped the clock as well. Then when they finally punted deep in their own territory they let the play clock run out, and took a penalty, which pushed them back 5 yards deeper when they could have just punted with a second left. They had trouble getting plays off too with the play clock winding down to often. Agree on Freeman’s excuse too. All in all he looked more like a rookie high school coach than a college coach. Not a good look at all for ND. They let a big one get away.

    Dumb prevent defense, or as I like to call it The Invitation To Defeat Defense just doesn’t work so many times in football, but yet it’s used so many times.Only 10 men on the field the last two plays? WTF!So many plays during the game that if ND makes just one of them they win. This one is gong to sting for a long time.
  8. Old Red
    ND coughed, coughed, coughed it up at the end. Rushing 3 at the end of the game with the ball on their 22 was playing the ITDD.Invitation TO Defeat Defense, and they did.

    Max those 37,000 tickets sold were sold months ago. Do think think they all showed up last night beating down the ticket office door to watch this non postseason team play?
  10. Old Red
    Playing meaningless games in garbage time is what the Red Sox have been regulated to do by Bloom, and some actually get giddy on here after a few wins, and think the Red Sox are actually better than they really are. I’m not one of those.
  11. Old Red
    Ah, your, and Moon’s company line. Very nice that you wave Pom Poms, but where did that short time euphoria get you the last two years. Last place, and out of the postseason, so keep on waving those Pom Poms when you get giddy, and then just sit back, and watch as things go back to s*****.
  12. Old Red
    Nah, let’s pay him $100M to hit ground balls instead.
  13. Old Red
    O’Halloran accepts Exec VP of baseball ops today. Kennedy already has said they expect Cora to be back as Red Sox manger. Sounds like an inside job coming to new GM, or whatever title they give him. If not it’s nice that the Red Sox have already filled some positions for him.
  14. Old Red
    In the here, and now of course.
  15. Old Red
    Hard to believe isn’t it that WL records would matter most to fans?
  16. Old Red
    I believe that would be 700, or many others. I just wouldn’t have hired him, or anyone else back under the same situation.
  17. Old Red
    I’d say you, but I forgot you’re not a Bloom guy.🙈
  18. Old Red
    What happened to supposedly the Red Sox playing an easier schedule this year, because they wouldn’t have to play against the Div teams as much? I guess it wasn’t easier enough.
  19. Old Red
    To listen to some on here they must have named a movie Against All Odds, and a song The Impossible Dream after Blooms tenure with the Red Sox.
  20. Old Red
    That’s because lots of people like chicken, and beer.
  21. Old Red
    Just the opposite. I do.
  22. Old Red
    If I had a $ for every time I heard budget slashed, 5 year plan, rebuild, all in, building up the farm, and foundation ect on here I’d be rich, but if I had a $ for every time I heard it elsewhere Id go broke.
  23. Old Red
    I give JH an F for hiring Bloom in the first place, and another F for not even interviewing anyone else.
  24. Old Red
    I don’t know about that, because I’m not so sure that would be your best OF at the moment. All 3 vets have been struggling somewhat.
  25. Old Red
    All the vets back in the OF tonight.
