As Al used to say he would try to down play the big games so his team would not be over-hyped and up play the patsys so his team would be amped up.
I think crean over reacted to the situation and it hurt his team. Not the reason we lost but to some degree it woke ND up. It was a very emotional game and the ND players said they were exausted after the game...emotion saps strength. Was I emabarassed...in no way but it did hurt us.
Now as far as anything else is concerned I had no problem with any of it. Harangody "wolfed" over Jerel...I was right there. Then Hillesland decided to get involved. They were both laughing until DJ wiped that smile of his face.... I would be more embarrassed if my team/teamates did not get in their.
Fitz play was out of frustration so what it was harmless shove. TO yes ...harmless... Yes Harnagody dove and was laughing about it.
Some of you guys " that were embarrassed" must have never palyed sports past Tee-ball. While I do not completely beleive in the statement , I do feel it has alot of merit in that...."Show me a good loser...and I will show you a loser"
