    Time for new partner: Big 10 or SEC?

    Navy is essentially an ally. We need to keep as many allies as we can at this point.

    The Pete Bevacqua Thread

    He doesn't need to attack. He just needs to state facts. Bama got blown out and has looked bad all month. If he "can't" say those things, then don't comment at all.

    The Pete Bevacqua Thread

    Listening live like a lot of you, but I already think he dropped the ball when he said, "Alabama deserves to be in," as well as ND and Miami. Note to Pete: There's NO point in stating you are upset if you can't point directly to who we should be in ahead of and what specifically was wrong with...

    2025 College Football Playoffs

    Here's what he said: My favorite part was when he said, "Alabama down 21 points late in the 3rd quarter, it's 4th and 1 on their 40, and they punted. Why do you think they punted, America? So they don't get smoked by more."

    I should add that, right before the rankings reveal, she kind of jumped on her colleagues for focusing on the ND-Miami comparison. She said something like, "I keep hearing people continuing to talk about the ND-Miami comparison, but on Tuesday, the committee emphasized the real comparison that...

    2025 College Football Playoffs

    Dinich was visibly shocked. They showed her real-time reaction of gasping and putting her hand to her mouth when she saw Bama revealed as the 9th-ranked team. She then went on to explain that Bama staying at 9 when the committee had emphasized how close ND and Bama were during the previous...

    2025 College Football Playoffs

    Sorry, man, I just gave you a black and white example of why, if the committee was strongly moved by margin of victory, they were violating their own rules. You think the lesson learned is to accept that and just run up scores anyway. I'm saying, if you think we can "play the committee's game"...

    2025 College Football Playoffs

    I know most of us know how royally we got fucked yesterday. Most of us have moved on from the many ways in which the CFP committee process has been exposed as being completely corrupt. Still, for posterity's sake, I'd like to point to one more way the committee violated its own rules to fuck ND...

    2025 College Football Playoffs

    Sorry, just getting around to seeing this. I don't want to rehash an argument that died down, but I think we should put to rest your line of thinking here. As others have pointed out, you were wrong in the broader sense - the committee was going to shaft ND even if they had blown teams out by...

    2025 WATCH PARTY: NOTRE DAME IS INDEPENDENT, CRY MORE

    Herbie saying Miami in, so it's between Bama and ND. Holy shit, that's corrupt AF. ND's data point improved with Boise's win last night. Miami's didn't improve at all. Yurachek said Bama and ND were EXTREMELY close. In what world should Bama fall behind Miami but not ND? I'm not saying the...

    2025 WATCH PARTY: NOTRE DAME IS INDEPENDENT, CRY MORE

    I'm not arguing about what they are likely to do. I'm explaining why their machinations, including their ESPN mouthpieces, are corrupt.

    2025 WATCH PARTY: NOTRE DAME IS INDEPENDENT, CRY MORE

    I don't see the committee dropping Bama out either. But that's the problem. If they can drop BYU they should be able to drop Bama to the point where Bama's worthiness is in question too. But ESPN refuses to entertain that scenario, and that's why the current system is corrupt...

    2025 WATCH PARTY: NOTRE DAME IS INDEPENDENT, CRY MORE

    The point is, narratives matter. And the bullshit narrative is why "nobody thinks this." So why not introduce a much more reasonable narrative? The only reason why Palmer and Tess kept focusing on the possibility of Miami leapfrogging ND is because they now expect BYU to drop in the rankings...

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

    He can't get fired. He's the boss. And fired isn't the point. Subscribers have every right to stop subscribing for any reason, but especially if the publisher has a hot take that advocates for leaving their favorite team out of the playoffs if a certain scenario happens. I mean, he could have...

    '23 CA WR Rico Flores (UCLA Transfer)

    So now UCLA must be facing the same fate that Horka prophesied for ND 2 years ago. Can they withstand what's to come?

    Somewhat misleading.... CBS also wasn't included, so although the list above is more accurate, it's not completely accurate either.

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

    There are at least a few people on Twitter saying they are cancelling their subscriptions. One of them tagged Driskell, who then defended Prister for offering his opinion and scolded the tagger for tagging him, but then said he vehemently disagreed with Prister. What makes Prister's stance...

    2025 College Football Playoffs

    That's exactly right. The committee had been playing it fairly straight until last night, which gave Brice confidence that they would continue to play it straight when revealing this week's rankings. The committee had been properly using its own metrics and resume criteria to rank teams in prior...

    '23 MO RB Jeremiyah Love (Notre Dame Signee)

    Here's a different angle: It looks intentional to me, especially when he keeps his entire body weight on that one knee as he gets up. He knew what he was doing with his knee as he hit him and afterwards. It wasn't incidental. He was trying to hurt Love with that knee. Whether or not it's...
