Fool Us Once, Shame on You; Fool Us Twice, Shame On Us

It was a conversation everybody around Mount Pleasant was having and we were all making the same jokes at the expense of the University of Cincinnati as Brian Kelly was ducking and dodging questions about going to Notre Dame.

"Boy, that sure sounds familar!"

"We heard the same things three years ago!"

"He's good as gone."

While everyone was making the jokes about the man who abandoned CMU before the 2006 Motor City Bowl, everyone in denial or were ignoring the chain reaction that Brian Kelly leaving Cincinnati for South Bend would set off.
