Recruits choose ND know the expectations and traditions. However what if these changes were led by players. Does that matter?


Based on my knowledge of how our players felt about it,

and still feel about it, and how our coaches feel about it (including Lou and Digger, for that matter) I'm going to assume this is purely hypothetical question.


Are you talking current players? Things change. *

What is your evidence for your statements?

If any, are you arguing they are okay with it on another day, but have a problem with it on Saturday?

How many players have a problem with it? Why?

When did things change?


I’m not stating anything.

My point was simple. If the players have made it known, by vote or whatever, they would prefer not to attend mass on game day. Is it worth reinstating?

I have never claimed to know why mass was done away with. However, just asking that if this was driven by the players why force them to go back.


It wasn't by vote of the players or driven by them.

I've never heard anyone even suggest that.

Kelly used it as an excuse for why he could not motivate the team and why they came out flat at home and were beaten by some shitty teams.
