There are few boards as entertaining as ND Nation during a game they are losing.  They are manic depressives on steroids on that site.  When Weiss and Willingham were there, that board was "can't miss" stuff.  Not so much fun as an outsider when ND is winning.

So looks like Ronnie Harris is out and Holder is in.  Pretty tough to judge the performance of Murphy and Alexander last week given the soft coverage on Ca.l receivers last week was the clear game plan, but I've generally been impressed with Holder, and Murphy hasn't been terrible.  That said, I'd really like to see what Alexander can do in tighter coverage schemes, because he seems a better athlete than Murphy. 

Well, everyone agrees this game is all about Hogan, so Harris being out probably isn't determinative.

I suppose this is true with most universities, but there are a bunch of cry babies when they lose.  People should be happy if you can average 9 wins a  year in college football, it gives you a chance to make a run every few years.  "Dynasties" are few and far in between and it is ridiculous to fire a coach because they can't build one.  I start every year with a positive attitude going into ND boards, but by mid season i am mostly done with them.  To many sofa coaches who don't understand the game.
