  1. Old Man Mike

    Time for new partner: Big 10 or SEC?

    My opinion on an un-win-able topic: 1. We used to be fanatically coveted by all conferences. The money has overwhelmed this, I believe, nearly completely. 2. Two conferences dominate, and, if ANY conferences continue to exist it will be them. 3. The Big 12 seems to have a slightly better chance...

    Ultra-high class so long message. Bless you in the NFL, good warrior.

    IE doesn't need scab-pickers regardless. We get enough pain on our own.

    Marcus Freeman named Dick Corbett Head Football Coach

    I feel moved to give our coach a full standing applause. It's because I think that although what I'll say has been said before, it probably hasn't risen above other sorts of hurrahs Coach Freeman has been showered with (some maybe not as deserved as fans would claim, and many fully deserved.)...

    2025 College Football Playoffs

    Can someone explain this? Are we a nation of upcoming morons or robots with prejudices so deep that they create "reality" in the face of what is brick-in-the-face contrary fact? How terrifyingly programmed is this ... whatever we are?

    2025 College Football Playoffs

    Irrelevant to this thread I guess, but both Alabama and Georgia played very slow to my eye --- I mean as far as offensive team speed or even play design and execution. I was very unimpressed by both teams' speed/quickness "threat." Can the Committee notice things like that in their eye tests...

    ND's Talking Heads ... The good, bad & ugly

    Sounds like a genius ... he's got you guys talking about him. "Are you not entertained?"

    '23 CA WR Rico Flores (UCLA Transfer)

    Carl Yastrzemski did well. ... just kidding. Graduated from Merrimac later on.

    Notre Dame Hires Loren Landow as Director of Football Performance

    The body just can't take it ... no matter how good guys like Landow are. :(:(:(

    '16 IL ATH Julian Love (Notre Dame Signed NLI)

    I should note that the award DOES say more about the man than the school, but Notre Dame doesn't hurt the qualities of the exceptional man who attends here. FWIW: there are other schools with more than one candidate this year (Clemson, Utah State, and Mississippi State each have two; Stanford...

    '16 IL ATH Julian Love (Notre Dame Signed NLI)

    Two ND guys makes us proud.

    '24 MI QB CJ Carr (Notre Dame Signee)

    In the bizarro world we live in (well, some live there), whack like this actually helps us. It shows that if some idiot in football wanted a QB badly, the correct choice would be OUR QB. Thinking backwards in time, how far back must we go for the QB-of-choice to be our QB?

    '17 TX TE Brock Wright (Notre Dame Early Enrollee)

    Hate writing this: Closer and closer to the sport becoming prohibitive to engage in for anyone with a long term life view. Solution? None of course. Direction? Massively higher salaries for anyone playing pro is one option --- the gladiatorial games solution. The other solution is that only...

    2025 College Football Playoffs

    That BYU thing was the most undeserved "championship" in Football history. There might have been 20 better teams.

    2025 College Football Playoffs

    Love the optimism, but ... There's a REAL chance now that the best looking team in the nation is in a coin flip. NOTHING has really gone right for us today. Dammit. And two other things: a. FAN betting opinions have right around Zero relevance to the Committee, unless THEY are a bunch of...

    Tommy Rees - Offensive Coordinator

    Again ... Go, Tommy. In my seeing, he comes darn close to maxing out what he has to work with, is supremely loyal and serious on all his jobs, and everyone is not perfect nor a Hall of Fame genius. But this guy is a hard worker who puts his shoulder to the wheel on everything he does. He...
