OT ND Season in Review

[Kibitzer]

I don't know, but UConn certainly has plenty of years of championship footage that they could put something together even in a losing season, and they very clearly speak of their goals and cohesiveness of the team. Notre Dame, on the other hand does not, but to outline a winning season for 22 minutes and not show the outcome IMO is a confusing message. What not avoid the whole 37-0 thing and speak about the team, their goals and so forth? Show some highlights and make it more about the experience of ND basketball? Just sayin'.....

Such criticism of the vaunted Notre Dame PR machine is heresy, blasphemous, and borders on sacrilege.

damn...where's my hair shirt?

(Seriously though, I understood TJI's point....)

Has UConn produced "non-championship winning season reviews"?

Any such review in UConn's case would be an inquest rather than a celebration.

It's, essentially, a propaganda film. You don't end a propaganda film with footage of losing your most important battle.

Kind of like how Napoleon's "My Life as a Military Genius" lacks a chapter on Waterloo?

Question, does the movie show them 'Flopping' ?

Now, yu've gone n' dun it, boyo: say t'ree "Our Muffet"s and two "Hail Skyler"s. Now, go an' sin no more!

(this is what you get from parochial education through 12th grade and several years as an altar boy - a vast capacity for irreverence!)

It was subliminal at best, and showed their need to let the world know that they can beat UConn…I guess...

It's true that they did, fair and square.
Perhaps it will be quite a while before the next time.

Edited for accuracy.

Yes, they did beat UConn, I'm not disputing that...however you should note that in the beginning the intro indicated that the film was clearly about the post Diggins year....a year in which they did NOT beat UConn. In showing this bit, it implies that they beat UConn in the post Diggins year - I said it was a subliminal message didn't I?

Seriously, if you are going to be fair and square, make sure your square has four corners. JMO
