Bitterness

The loss in South Bend with Sonny Byrd in PC's first year was much easier to watch than Saturday.  This time, the better team lost.  The better-coached team won.  ND had absolutely no business winning that game.  When Tommy Rees went down, I didn't think it was possible for Ed O to fuck it up.  We won the field possession battle the entire 2nd half and then proceeded to commit a drive-killing hold each time.  Mike Summers was Petrino's guy, and I thought he knew what he was doing.  He clearly doesn't, and Aundrey Walker grinds my fucking gears ever since he let Barkley get lit up.  One of his holds was so egregious that 3 different flags were thrown at him.  Also, someone explain to me why Marqise Lee played.  At best he was clearly a decoy, which seemed obvious to everyone save Cody Kessler as he overthrew him twice before he never played another down.  Quite a brilliant coaching decision to further delay his return by re-aggravating his knee before it's even 75%.  And last but certainly not least, one night at Mothers is definitely not enough, so here is my big fuck you to NBC for the night game. 

On a side note, Barkley threw 4 INTs yesterday for the Eagles, but at least one was called back.
