    Why doesn’t Ian Book get more love for his time at ND?

    Between these boards & the ND subreddit when great players & their legacies at ND are brought up we as a fanbase hold a lot of players in reverence for what they accomplished as part of the Fighting Irish. From players who went onto be legends in the NFL like Joe Montana, Tim Brown or Jerome...

    Thinking of going to the Spring Game got some questions.

    Hey everyone. Unfortunately at my job it’s not looking good for me to get paid off in the fall to go see a real game (I used my first choice for vacation for the Indy 500 & NASCAR at at WWT Raceway both of which I already paid for). However, the spring is wide open to get paid off & I could...

    Links to full games from last year? Especially USC, IU, the Sugar Bowl, & the Orange Bowl? Preferably YouTube if possible?

    Just like the title says. The holidays are a down time for me it’s when I think more of people I’ve lost over the years. We don’t have a playoff game to distract me this year so if any of you have some full game links to those four very special games last year for me to watch I’d really...

    How do we all look back on the 2025 season?

    Unfortunately, our season is over. For the first time in my life (well at least my life where I’ve really been able to semi-understand the ins & outs of college football) I don’t really know how to look back at our season. In my life I have seen us have objectively good seasons that have big...

    2026 & beyond, what is our realistic future?

    We have had night’s sleep after what happened. I’m still mad & disappointed. We said a lot of things in other threads. Going full super villain, not giving ESPN the time of day when we are at home, investing heavily in NIL to truly be the Yankees of college football, etc. All of this sounds...

    Change heartbreaking losses from 10 games from our past with a small catch.

    Posted this in the ND subreddit thought I’d post it here too…. Since it’s the offseason here’s a discussion to occupy our time in the interim. I’m sure many of you have sat through some heartbreaking & disappointment in our time as Irish fans. If we had the power to go back and change 10 games...

    Favorite moment from the 24-25 season

    Stole this thread topic from the ND football Subreddit. What was your favorite moment during this past season? For me it was strip sack and Leonard’s hurdle against UGA in the Sugar Bowl. I’ve lived the majority of my life (I started kindergarten in August of 94) watching the Irish go to...

    Does anyone know if the players get rings for their Sugar Bowl & Orange Bowl wins?

    I’m asking because I’ve started collecting a lot of replica championship rings for my favorite teams. I’ve found some old replica National Championship rings for the Irish & have replicas of Ara, Montana, & Lou’s national championship rings. Curious if anyone knows if the players will be...

    Motorsports Thread

    Don’t know how many people here enjoy motorsports but I thought if there’s anyone here that does this could be a cool place to all about the goings on & the upcoming races from all across motorsports. Whether you like NASCAR, Indycar, Forumla 1, IMSA, Motocross, or anything in between this is...

    Marcus Freeman in attendance for WWE Royal Rumble

    First of all, been a while IE brethren hope everyone has been well. What a great season we had, losing the Nattie still hurts but winning the Sugar Bowl made me the happiest I’ve ever been in my life as an ND fan. I kept having issues with the website timing out and never was able to post...

    Clemson 2022 or USC 2017?

    We are all buzzing after a big blowout win at home from yesterday. Five years ago we had a very similar feeling when we dominated USC at home to end their playoff hopes. My question I wanted to ask is which win did you enjoy more? Beating Clemson last night or beating USC? For me as big as...

    Was this an actual thing the players got?

    My niece just spoiled to me that her and her family picked out a belated Christmas gift to me because I had Covid over the Christmas season. Great gift but I wasn’t aware that the players got this....did they? I know I don’t think I could ever find any sort of proof that the Irish players...

    The incredibly too early thoughts on next season thread!!!!!

    What sort of season will 2021 bring? Let’s discuss it here! I brought up elsewhere that I fear we have a drop off next year. In 2006 and 2015 we had good season but ended both of them with two major loses. In 2007 and 2016 well we had awful years. I fear we are due for another one of those...

    So....What’s the point?

    In the last three years we have played in a game where we could’ve solidified ourselves as great but instead of doing that we showed that we aren’t even really that good. I’m the years in between we work post season games that made us smile but when the rest of the country looked at it they...

    Duke Post Game

    I won’t be totally negative but I will be real. Also sorry if someone else is supposed to make this. 1. If we want to be taken seriously as a true elite team this team should’ve battered, beaten, and embarrassed a team like duke. That’s what elite teams do to lower tier teams. 2. The QB play...

    2017 or 2019 which season did you prefer?

    I made a thread like this last year comparing the two undefeated regular seasons we have experienced in recent memory. I felt that this could lead to another fun discussion comparing two successful seasons that had some highs, lows, and a few “what ifs” 2017- After losing a heartbreaker to...

    2012 or 2018 which season did you enjoy more as a fan?

    In this decade our team has had an undefeated regular season twice. Each season had its own hills and valleys on the road to a chance to be called the best in the country. Both seasons unfortunately ended with such a thud that every swinging dick outside of his fan base claimed we didn’t...

    Have our boys gotten rings for the bowl wins under BK?

    After the movies last night I went to a bar and I ended up meeting a friend’s cousin who was a trainer at Louisville and on his finger he had a ring from the Cardinal’s win in the Music City Bowl in 2015. It got me to thinking for any of the (albeit minor) bowl games we have won in the last 10...

    Another Pointless Brian Kelly Discussion Thread about the NFL

    After reading many articles where his name is coming up and after a decent season it's time for our annual speculation and discussion on if coach Kelly is leaving. What do you all think post it here!

    Good news I've been hired by the Illinois Department of Corrections meaning I will be leaving te county jail I work at to make more money, get more benefits, and be able to have a lot more security meaning things we have been putting off like starting a family might become a reality. The bad...
