2025 College Football Playoffs

[MPClinton22]

We need to get out of the ACC. Fuck that conference it’s time to stop propping up those assholes and bringing our money and eyeballs to their mediocre ass football programs

 

[IrishBryan77]

Get fucked

How classy coming from a staff member. You must be proud

 

[mrmcgrail]

Duke winning killed us

 

[CoachB]

Not going to watch a second of the playoffs or any bowl on ESPN. I hope would let gameday come to South Bend once more. I would make the drive to boo them every single second one of them talks.

 

[KPENN]

You first

Says the guy that got banned and came back to the site.

 

[ND88]

It's been said and I'll say it again:

It's time to attack ESPN, if only for the fucking principle of it.

No more financial benefits for them off our backs.

They fuck us over year in and year out.

Make a public institutional statement.

No more gamedays.

FUCK ESPN.

 

[Ndaccountant]

Its a thing that you never forget. I guarantee you there are guys ind NDs locker room right now that were leaning NFL are going to come back.

 

[IrishBryan77]

Get fucked

Ban this clown

 

[Bane]

He deserves it. Prister can get fucked, I’m done with his publication. His narrative absolutely contributed to the permission structure that allowed this happed. That old man needs to hang it up.

The committee caved in part because the entire national media was like a dog with a bone over ND/Miami and they saw our own fucking guys rolling over to be "objective." I hope Irish Illustrated goes bankrupt. Prister can go be a coffee bitch for Ari Wasserman.

 

[jprue24]

No they are gloating because a majority of you gave them all a bunch of shit for their prediction.

The lack of self awareness makes me wonder how much they just smash through life

 

[wizards8507]

I am never watching a single thing on ESPN ever again. Blocking it from my browser. Disney too. Screw them. Boycotting all that corrupt crap.

You guys are retarded. ESPN DESPERATELY wanted Notre Dame in the field for the ratings.

 

[DCDomer]

We should not take the high road, but we will. It should be full scorched earth on the ESPN/ACC industrial complex.

This has less to do with Bama, imo. This is all about ACC not losing the $ if they don't get a team.

The narrative was so blatantly obvious. Every game for 2 weeks we got a 10 minute monologue about Miami getting in.

 

[NDFan8349]

Leave the ACC tomorrow.

Absolutely! The smear campaign they raised against us. End the relationship now!

 

[CoachB]

And turn down the extra practices and playing time for young guys? No chance.

Turn down anything played on ESPN. Go to the Sun Bowl. CBS has that.

 

[LifelongFan]

I am certainly not watching the playoffs now. Not that it means anything but I have no interest.

 

[Huntr]

What they need to do is go to the Pop Tarts bowl but not partake in any of the side show stuff.

Show up, win, go home.

Just be a humorless terminating machine going forward.

 

[wizards8507]

"Notre Dame got jumped by Miami because BYU sucks ass."

 

[Bane]

If I hear stupid fucking Herbie say “bonus game” one more time I am going to punch a hole in my wall.

It's funny because for years it was a very important "13th data point." Now it's just a "bonus game."

 

[Ndaccountant]

You guys are retarded. ESPN DESPERATELY wanted Notre Dame in the field for the ratings.

They have a weird way of showing that.

 

[burmafrd1944]

This is beyond dumb because this was a year ND could (and likely would have) won a natty. It also highlights how stupid the ND admin was to front load the schedule like that. Marcus has to figure out how to have the team ready to win in September just like November. This sucks donkey balls but a lot of the blame falls squarely at ND’s own feet. Also fuck Miami, the ACC the SEC and ESPN.

I agree two strong opponents your first two games was a serious error by the Admin but also MF not having his team really ready from game one was the other major factor.

 

[NDty9]

Leave the ACC tomorrow.

After alllll the shit talking and trashing of us that they did this past couple weeks…… DO IT NOW, take whatever penalty we’d be given financially, and watch them crumble when we leave

 

[bkess8]

Common opponents? We didn't play starters for the 4th quarter of almost all of those games. It better be bloody next season. Wax the floor with everyone.

 

[sfk324]

If this same exact situation played out with Bama (who actually got their asses kicked) and FSU who actually believes they wouldn’t have put Bama in

No it isn't. FSU didn't have a QB. Who did ND lose of any consequence? KVA?

 

[IA4irish]

How does Rece Davis not push Yurachek on Alabama at #9?!

 

[BurningRiver]

You guys are retarded. ESPN DESPERATELY wanted Notre Dame in the field for the ratings.

ESPN has a lot more incentive to make sure the SEC keeps playing their conference championship game, which would’ve gone away if Bama got left out. ESPN is also the ACC’s broadcast partner. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see what happened here.

 

[PittFanIAm]

The Big 10 and SEC Propaganda Machine did its job. For weeks, everyone was talking about Miami and ND when both clearly should have been in. The discussion should have been about Oklahoma and Alabama (even before getting hammered in the SEC Championship).

 

[KMac151993]

Its a thing that you never forget. I guarantee you there are guys ind NDs locker room right now that were leaning NFL are going to come back.

0% chance.

 

[Irishokie]

It better be asked why BYU was punished for losing in the CCG and Bama wasn’t. *First question asked lol*

For those saying to decline a bowl game, no. Use those practices to prepare for next season, get the uber talented early enrollees a glimpse at what next year’s expectations are, go out and kick another team’s ass who thinks they deserve to be in the playoffs (laughable, but give me Texas or Vandy), and then we go 12-0 in 2026 with a bye in next year’s playoffs!

 

[rikkitikki08]

Marcus Freeman is going to go scorched earth on our schedule next year.

 

[jprue24]

At least we know there will be a chip on this team's shoulders next year. I hope they run up the score on every ACC team
