The Pat MacAfee Sports Network doing the maths.

Memphis is starting the season at UNLV and at Boise State in two of their first 3. Really love to see a team scheduling so ambitiously

My table looks like shit. Idk how they had it look so organized in previous years.

I'd say it's probably better than average for Week 0. Obviously the best ones have been when ND played in Dublin, but power 4 teams playing throughout the day and a nightcap of 2 G5 teams who could conceivably get the token playoff spot, aka the former James Franklin Special.

The board yearns for AI to replace @IrishLion

Thanks, Claude:

Alright. That was my first time using ChatGPT. It'll do for this week, but I will continue to work on my craft as the season progresses.

Dale · 2026-08-28T13:03:41-0400

Maybe IE automates a bot moderator.

DONTH8 · 2026-08-28T13:07:36-0400

Need the Irishlion comment section added to each one. Why this game matters to the Irish, why the game is relevant nationally, why Cincinnati is always on the list, etc. etc.

Take out some of the rows and columns. If someone really cares that Jax State is playing North Dakota State, they're going to seek that game out anyway.

Not every game matters. Otherwise, break up the table into separate posts. It's a pain in the ass, but it all depends on how meticulous you want to be about it.

Jiggafini19Deux · 2026-08-28T13:37:25-0400

@irishnd31 imagine if A.I. tried to replace us.

"These guys have been posting here for over 20 years and are too stupid to replicate."

The data center then floods with purple kool aid.

I am honestly compelled most by UVA at NC State. 11-3 and 8-5 last year. NC State won 35-31 last year.

Not interested in anything else, TBH.

I want to see Freeman have his first unbeaten September at Notre Dame. Everything else is cake and watermelon.

I feel like AI would solely make this assumption simply by seeing my avatar who just happens to be my like dime piece slice of heaven...

I feel like if AI tried to replace posters on this board it would probably do something like short circuit and start making the same jokes over and over again.

...wait...

What AI allows you to use actual logos? The big ones seem like they dont.
