    2024 WATCH PARTY: WEEK 5

    Reminds me of the Gators never playing an out of conference game, outside the state of Florida, from 1991 until last year when they played at Utah. Think they had one or two neutral site games through the years.

    Nah, just the message but keep playing mental gymnastics that your quarterback isn’t a world class douche.

    Chicago Bears address

    I normally agree but for me, Caleb Williams is my least liked athlete. Him writing F*CK ND or Utah on his nails was probably the most classless thing I can remember an athlete doing. Combine that with his USC ties and I hope he's a total bust in the NFL. I do hate it for the Bears fans as I was...

    Marcus Freeman Revisited

    Yeah, I just don't agree. Kelly took over a losing program that had just fired its last 3 coaches and won 57% of its games during that time. He was far from perfect but he built a winning culture at ND while winning 74% of his games. That doesn't happen overnight. His schedule in 2011 was much...

    Marcus Freeman Revisited

    Yeah, lying is always an option. Which they did. 3rd school in 4 years. Kid got hurt the next game is done for the year/career.

    Marcus Freeman Revisited

    Maybe but by year 3 Kelly had ND at 12-0. It’s also easier now with the portal to fill any holes on your roster.

    Marcus Freeman Revisited

    I don’t know. Grew up in the 80’ and 90’s. Lots of kids quit because they didn’t like getting yelled at. My senior year, our center quit the basketball team because he got yelled at. Kids quit teams or didn’t come back all the time. Difference today is people have more options and just transfer...

    Miami (OH) Postgame

    So you’re not a Rees fan (I’ll assume you think he’s an average OC) but think we easily go 11-1. So possibly 12-0? What do you think we would have done with a great OC? National champions? Sorry, but we still had Hartman, poor WRs, Freeman as HC. I just don’t see it. He led us to 21 points...

    Miami (OH) Postgame

    Ok. You believe he was worth 2-3 wins over Parker. I don’t. We’ll obviously never know.

    Miami (OH) Postgame

    You obviously have/had more faith in Rees than me. I’ll always appreciate all he did for the program as well as sending Saban into retirement.

    Miami (OH) Postgame

    Freeman is much smarter than you give him credit for. Of course you call timeouts there. Our defense is much more likely to make a play and potentially score than our RL led offense.

    ‘21 AL QB Riley Leonard (Duke Transfer - Notre Dame Verbal)

    RL is just Wimbush 2.0. The weird thing is I really liked Brandon and wanted to stick with him because he had a higher upside than Book. I don’t have that feeling with Leonard. Might be because I’ve seen this before but I think it’s because he’s a transfer and I don’t have the history with him...

    Is ND really pursuing National Championships?

    The one thing I wonder about Freeman is, unlike other coordinators like Smart or Lemming, he never coached at a championship level program. Kirby Smart was able to go to a relatively healthy Georgia program and put them over the top partly because he knew what they were lacking. He had seen what...

    Is ND really pursuing National Championships?

    IMO, you can hire a first time HC when they’re taking over a stable program. All of those situations (and Freeman at ND) had good programs where the previous HC left on their own for various reasons. None were fired and none of those programs needed a rebuild.

    Is ND really pursuing National Championships?

    I feel like we care more than 20 years ago. Seemed like we were so far behind by the time Weis came around. He got us recruiting big time players again and Kelly helped us catch up in other areas. Getting over the hump may prove a never ending battle or Carr (or some other qb) might be an...
