    An Open Letter to CFP Chairman Hunter Yuradik

    An Open Letter to the CFP Committee Chairman Dear Hunter: Please forgive the naivete of common fans of college football. They know not the power of bias and bigotry that have plagued Notre Dame’s history. Bigotry and corruption fuel our fire for Independence. I know Independence is a source of...

    The Pete Bevacqua Thread

    I'm with you. Bigtime "guys stop it" energy from a kid who gets wedgies every day. There is a lot of space between what we have and the caricature roid raging fan in a wife beater portrayed by the "cooler heads" crowd. Last month should been massive self promotion for the program and J Love. 13...

    The Pete Bevacqua Thread

    Ignoring half the field that has no chance of winning - JMU, Tulane, Alabama, OU, Ole Miss all have no chance of winning. Three of those are at large bids and two are not. Looked up current odds to win it all - JMU +80000, Tulane +60000, Oklahoma +5000, Bama/Ole Piss/Miami +2500. I'll agree to...

    The Pete Bevacqua Thread

    Some of us are used to filtering through media bias and apoplectic bullshit narratives. ND will be fine.

    Simpler still - ACC Network is owned by ESPN and they were no going to disparage their top property.

    Time for new partner: Big 10 or SEC?

    Four team conference playoff the last two weeks of the year. Thanksgiving round one, CCG games stay the same week after turkey. Build two divisions of 8 teams and round robin 7 games. Non-playoff teams get seeded and matched against the other division for Thanksgiving final game to give SoS...

    Time for new partner: Big 10 or SEC?

    You are really diminishing the perceived value of a Duke degree. I can only assume you never touched the business school as it is supposedly pretty good. Duke REDUCED the size of their stadium recently to 35,000 and can't even fill that up without ND. I know this from my attendance of the...

    Time for new partner: Big 10 or SEC?

    Fact is - nobody in that room was lobbying for us. ND ground game got caught flat footed. Our PR team blows. Confusing Ivory Tower with High Ground in their approach across the board.

    ACC discussion thread

    It's not just the sell out - its the average ticket price and bundled shit games plus season ticket windfall that pumps up numbers on other games. 75% capacity at $20 per ticket versus 100% at $100 per ticket is the comparison needed to bring this to scale. Good for Pete for finding a simple and...

    Why not alternate the FSU/Bama game (that they had rights to as an FSU home game) with the ND/Miami game on ACC network if they weren’t colluding against ND?

    2025 College Football Playoffs

    Love out rushed Alabama and almost Oklahoma vs FBS this year. 1372 rushing yards versus 1242 for Bama and 1382 for Oklahoma. Love rushed for 1.5 TDs per game vs FBS while the entire Bama operation averaged 1 rushing TDs per game. 18 vs 12 rushing vs FBS - twelve games each. Love scored...

    ND vs Arkansas 2025 - too bad ESPN owns the rights and will bury that deeper than Hoffa.

    1st/2nd round NFL draft pick quality DL x 2 and a WR. That's all I think we need to remove all doubt and shouldn't be oppressive to integrate. Wallet wide open.

    2025 College Football Playoffs

    Maybe we should have harped on Hunter firing his coach before the clock hit zeros when we came to town in the first month of the season. Tell me you don't harbor hatred for ND when you fire your coach like that. 56-13 in their shitbox. Ole Miss won 41-35, TAMU won 45-42. Notre Dame outscored...

    Zero credit for emasculating ACC runner up Pitt while the entire SEC points at their Tennessee wins as some world beater accomplishment.

    2025 College Football Playoffs

    Exactly - really boxed out that quarterfinal slot and effectively guaranteed three SEC playoff wins with Bama/OU, Ole Miss/Tulane and then UGA/Ole Miss. TAMU would rather play UM than ND and probably not pleased they have OSU to deal with if they can beat Miami.

    2025 College Football Playoffs

    And sent to slaughter against a far superior #1 seed. Two teams that don't belong get to fly under the radar. Can we ship some players to Tulane in the portal quick? Would love to see them find a way to beat a rudderless Ole Miss.

    Last year I was at Duke vs SMU - "official" attendance was 30,241 versus capacity of 35,018 thanks to replacing 5000 endzone seats with an open terrace. Place was half empty, no way +80% of seats were filled.

    Hilarious if anyone is whining about Iowa State and K-State forcing FSU and Auburn to play "NOT-IT!"
