Welp.
It’s one of my favorite words, accompanied by a shoulder shrug, to describe a lot of things (not just Notre Dame football) these days. It’s a simple but effective word that can convey disappointment in how something played out, but it really leaves it up to individual interpretation and decision-making how deep you want to go into a doom spiral.
I understand the Notre Dame fan base’s frustrations with the program coming out of the Northern Illinois loss.
And I don’t even want to try and tell folks how deep into the doom spiral they should/shouldn’t go into the doom spiral, especially because a lot of what transpired was predictable.
