oh I know. on field match ups matter. I just cant understand the notion of then taking Texas lightly after they beat the team we don't want to play

Where do people look up advanced stats these days? Like people have said "ND has #1 pass defense" ... where is that?

I think (without seeing the full game yet) that our boys are getting hot at the right time, I think that continues,… finding ways.

Few things: my nephew who I was very close to committed suicide right around the time the game was originally scheduled. No signs anyone can think of, in shock. I’ve waited for so long through much hurt and frustration for a win like yesterday and when it finally happens I can’t even feel it. My point, count your blessings if your stress point is a college football game. I hope to get back to that state of life soon.

The obnoxious brother in law I have mentioned many times is still thriving even during funeral arrangements. Little Notre dame just won Texas the natty and ND is EASILY the worst team left. Texas is EASILY the best and there’s really no challenge left for the longhorns. Maybe now yall get why I vent on this guy over the years. Our nephew just died tragically and all he can talk about is Texas football and how much a favor the JV school from south bend did them, I can’t fathom being that out of touch with reality and having that much of an inability to read the room. I’m at the point where I want Texas to lose as much as ND to win but idk how much I’ll even get to watch. I only saw the last two minutes last night so,…

Anyway, thanks IE for just giving me a place to spew some stuff, I don’t really see anywhere else to unload in a healthy fashion so yeah, thanks. Go Irish and I hope to discuss our national championship squad going into spring,…..

Prayers for your nephew's soul and for your family.

May you all eventually find a measure of peace that allows his memory to only be a blessing.

Mental health is health.

Take care of yourselves and check-in on the people you love.

Penn States defense is very good too.

The way I see it, PSU will focus on trying to stop the run. Thereby making ND 1 dimensional. That is why I say that 90 pass yards wont get it done. ND has to mix it up on offense and go on clock consuming drives ending in 7 points.

Bro sorry to hear this tragic news. I lost my dad to suicide Jan 18 2024. He’s the reason I’m a diehard Dodgers & ND fan. If you need anything please reach out. Make sure you talk to someone. I’d recommend a Licensed Counselor/Social Worker but make sure to talk to someone vs holding stuff in. I’ll pray for you & your family to find peace during this time.

On paper, their defense is very good but keep in mind...

1) Before the playoffs, their best win was probably against 6-6 USC.

2) They have beat up on inferior teams Boise and SMU.

3) They only have one dude, Carter, who should draw attention and scare people.

4) Their DT's are listed at 290 and 305. ND Oline should have more fun than they did against Georgia's D line.

One of the first games I can remember watching
Click to expand...
I was a junior in high school living just north of South Bend. For some reason I was watching the game by myself, which never happened. I always watched ND games with my dad and brothers at least. I remember jumping up and down in my living room when Reggie caught the two-point conversion.

It didn't matter that I was by myself, I felt like part of the crowd that day
