Not a Notre Dame fan at all but I applaud their stance....

[Punter1]

...on (not) playing in the CFP if no fans can attend the Rose Bowl site in LA. Its gonna take some high profile, commen sense people like this to point out the idiocy of these local governments.

And states shouldn't be rewarded by getting these events if their policies are unfair and downright stupid.

jimbo also applauds their stance and he believes kelly needs to go ahead and make a bold stance before the game tomorrow

 

[Zubaz]

They should take Brian Kelly's threat seriously, he's already refused to show up for the 2012 National Title game and the 2018 Semifinal Game in the past.

 

[Pharm Frog]

Can’t understand why they’d even consider playing a game in a state like CA.

 

[Hoosierfrog]

Well, there aren’t going to be very many fans anywhere regardless where the games are played. So, not really sure what his point is.

But I’m all for Notre Dame not showing up, and they can take An Ohio State with them.

A little misleading. He seems to be talking about families.

 

[Zubaz]

Also, we are all laughing at this right?

As to why the game has not been moved out of California with CFP Selection Day set for Sunday (noon ET, ESPN), Kelly said, "We're worshiping the ashes of tradition. That can be the only reason.

Please, tell me more about how college football is too tied to tradition...Mr Head Football Coach of Notre Dame.

If its at Jerry World or the Peach Bowl. There would be a ton of fans...

 

[Hoosierfrog]

If its at Jerry World or the Peach Bowl. There would be a ton of fans...

If 25% is a ton, then ok....

 

[Pharm Frog]

If 25% is a ton, then ok....

Infinitely more than zero but using the average weight of an expected adult attendee at 25% capacity it would be approximately 1,400 tons.

 

[Punter1]

If 25% is a ton, then ok....

Relatively speaking 25% or 25k (or more) is a ton in this day and age.

But if you think 25k is inconsequential, then ok...
Bet the families of the players would disagree.

Move it to Arlington and have 2 Cotton Bowls.

 

[tetonfrog]

I hope the Rose Bowl calls his bluff and Kelly can go ____ himself. He is so arrogant for someone who has accomplished so little.

cotton bowl is in dallas, the faux cotton bowl is in arlington so that would be the polyester bowl

You might wear leather but you're made of polyester.

You mean that [ Finebaum ] kelly said about not playing the game? Yea, that's just [ deposit from a bull that looks like Art Briles ].

Originally I thought he was strictly speaking just attendance, but realized he was speaking more to the family issue. However, 25% of the rose bowl would look very sparse. I’m not sure the families would disagree with a 3/4 Rose Bowl being sparse. On the other hand I see no reason why families couldn’t find adequate spacing to ensure even California safety standards or just let them have the private boxes if no one else is going to be there.

But I’m also for anything that turns Kelley’s face purple and pisses off Notre Dame

 

[HToady]

Are they going to have a Rose Parade, that no one can attend?
Maybe broadcast on the radio, by an announcer from his living room.....
