Before I left for the night I told him I hoped to sit down and talk about his defensive game plan. Apparently I need sleep.
Nice job on this thread, guys. It's a lot better than the some of the stuff from Billboard-Gate, although it's missing a reference to my missing hair. Flame on.

You shouldn't end sentences with prepositions.

Mundy's a doof, but since we're playing GRAMMAR POLICE

Chicago Manual of Style, 16th ed.: “an unnecessary and pedantic restriction” (5.176).
Garner’s Modern American Usage: The rule is “spurious” (p. 654).
Patricia O’Connor, Woe is I: “This idea caught on, even though great literature from Chaucer to Shakespeare to Milton is bristling with sentences ending in prepositions” (p. 183).
Fowler’s Modern English Usage, 2nd ed.: “It was once a cherished superstition that prepositions must be kept true to their name and placed before the word they govern in spite of the incurable English instinct for putting them late” (p. 473).

Someone desperately needs to read Orwell's "Politics and the English Language," and I'm not talking about Mundy.

Check out Joseph Williams, Ten Lessons in Clarity and Grace. Don't bother with the whole thing--just the first chapter. He cites to Orwell frequently.
 
Mundy how does it feel that the fanbase wants a random blogger who writes about Ball State to take over your position? Not as a reflection of OTP (Yes he is a million times better than you) but essentially anyone but you would be better #MundyOut.
 
Yo, Irish! I need a ruling over here.

Is it considered irony when the guy who runs a blog mostly about a coach that everyone hates is hated by everyone?

One could make the case that it qualifies as dramatic irony - since the audience, i.e. this board, knew Mundy's fate well before he did. (Et tu, Blogger So Dear?)

But the question you pose is ultimately not purely ironic. According to The Times, "Irony requires an opposing meaning between what’s said and what’s intended." Don't think that's happening here. A coincidence? Yes. A curiosity? For sure. An incongruent oddity? Without a doubt. But not irony, at least not in the traditional sense.

Look what you've done to us, Mundy. You're worse than Alanis Morissette. I HOPE YOU GET GOOD ADVICE THAT YOU JUST DON'T TAAAAAAAAAAKE.
