    We sadly don’t have any control over which ads get served up. It’s whatever Google AdSense chooses to give us. I think there’sa way to report certain ads as abusive though. We’ll see if I can get it to load on my phone. Which mobile browser are you using?

    The Pete Bevacqua Thread

    Feels like a replay of the Frozen Five debacle. ND playing by rules no one else is. You can bet your ass none of the SEC or ACC people on the committee recused themselves from shilling for their teams due to the obvious conflict of interest.

    The Pete Bevacqua Thread

    He can announce the end of our relationship with the ACC.

    The Optimal Notre Dame Scheduling Model

    Clemson fan. Good luck finding a new conference after we nuke the ACC contract and you all have to scurry like rats for a safe landing spot. I'm sure Dabo's fearless leadership will see you through the dark times ahead. Maybe pass the collection plate an extra time at NewSpring to top up your...

    The Pete Bevacqua Thread

    They started out ranking everyone pretty close to the computer models. Anyone who watched the games could tell we were much better than Bama this year, and the models all reflected that. They figured that many of these issues would work themselves out naturally over the course of the season...

    ACC discussion thread

    I wouldn't be thrilled with the Big-12 either. But I'm assuming: (1) that ND won't give up independence until it absolutely has no other choice; and (2) that we will try to minimize exposure to further treachery from ESPN. The B1G is our obvious final destination if CFB continues drifting toward...

    ACC discussion thread

    Except the B1G won't let us maintain our independence. The Big-12 would. Lots of things could happen, but if you made me bet now, I'd guess we end up with the following: ND invokes violation of the "anti-disparagement" clause in its ACC contract, tries to walk for free, ACC sues for the full...

    Apologies if this has already been posted, but the following from @ghosted_machine on X is the best article I've read on this issue since we got screwed yesterday:

    Does Notre Dame make the CFP?

    I don’t want the ACC’s shitty bowl bid either. Taking it would be an insult after the way they lobbied against us for the last few weeks. Send Duke and let the ratings crater. ND should arrange a game with one of the best teams to get left out. Texas or Vandy. Sends a better message to the...

    2025 College Football Playoffs

    I’m sure that’s why every talking head at ESPN started reading from the same “Miami > ND” script in unison two weeks ago.

    Brian Kelly Revisited (RIP BOZO)

    Tried to take my kids to see this in June. Turns out that, if you're not a local, you have to make a "reservation" to visit months in advance or they turn you away at the entrance. And that restriction isn't advertised anywhere online. We fortunately found a public (and much less scenic) black...

    General team info

    It's good to have rivals, and to play them frequently. USC is our rival, and CFB would be much diminished if that series was discontinued. Michigan is an enemy. It is stupid to take actions that benefit one's enemies. Michigan benefits more from playing us than we benefit from playing them, so...

    Pope Francis has died at 88

    I’m not taking advice on the papacy from Horatio Troonblower.

    Pope Francis has died at 88

    Predictions: He came out in the mozzetta and stole, and took Leo for his name. Those both indicate friendliness toward traditionalists, who Francis went out of his way to persecute. Francis also hated Americans, so the Cardinals electing an American pope indicates an intent to improve relations...

    Pope Francis has died at 88

    LEO XIV Perceived as a centrist. Seems to have a heart for the poor, without being squishy on any of the divisive doctrinal issues. Choosing Leo indicates an intent to govern conservatively. Leos have historically been fierce defenders of orthodoxy.
