    2026 ND Portal Targets

    Said this to a friend last night. 0% chance I'd want to continue coaching in CFB if this is what it boils down to. No amount of money is worth that headache, especially when the NFL is just sitting there waiting.

    Follow the Money - The Big Business of College Football

    Meh. A lot of these transfers (esp from schools like NIU) are leveling up their athletic careers and making a TON of money doing so. Even if he's right, and those kids don't end up traveling, dressing, playing...guess what, they just got a pay day that they'll likely never get again in their...

    2026 ND Portal Targets

    100% Feel like I made this exact point yesterday. Maybe I forgot to hit enter, who knows. But yes, OL and DL need age, development, experience. I'm all in favor of high level recruiting and development. It's a must. Esp as Lax pointed out that OL and DL are hard to come by in the portal and...

    2026 ND Portal Targets

    I agree except when it comes to DL and OL. I'd prefer to reload with proven commodities who are damn near 25 years old. It seems to be a cheat code in the portal era, imo. Definitely need home grown talent to develop. But always be enhancin' - Marcus Freeman (probably)

    2025 College Football Playoffs

    My point had more to do with the poster's clip claiming that Indiana did something in two years that ND has been trying to do since the 90s. It's simply not true. ND did not join the arms race. In fact, they ran the opposite way for many years. Weis got some stuff, BK got some stuff...

    2025 College Football Playoffs

    He's not wrong and I generally agree. It's a tough pill to swallow for sure. For the last 20 years, IU football has been quite literally one of the worst P5 teams. But ND, while wallowing in mediocrity during said time, also wasn't really "trying." The arms race took teams like Bama...

    2026 ND Portal Targets

    This is catastrophic! In all seriousness, though, if ISD is starting to wet the bed, it might be time to sound the alarms. I'm holding out judgement until the defensive line guys are signed (or not). If ND whiffs on DL, I will officially go buy diapers at the nearest Costco.

    ‘23 TN QB Kenny Minchey (Notre Dame Signee)

    I was at this game. Will never forget it.

    2026 ND Portal Targets

    IU can sleepwalk to 9-3 next year w/ their '26 schedule. If they hit on QB and a few key replacements, 10-2 is likely, imo. OSU, @Michigan, @Nebraska (lets go Kenny), and USC are their only tough games and I don't see Cig losing all 4 of those. I'm so sick of seeing these giant conferences...

    2025 College Football Playoffs

    I’m aware and have said as much in past posts. I’m just pointing out that the committee backdoored Miami into the playoffs as a 10-seed because of their preferential treatment towards the SEC. And look how it’s played out….pretty much how every ND fan called it.

    2025 College Football Playoffs

    No one should be rooting for the SEC in any fashion. The all great and powerful SEC is down to one team. A coachless team who’s remaining staff might get forced to leave for LSU. And who is an underdog to a 10-seed Miami team who barely got in the playoffs. Let that sink in. Screw the SEC...

    Al Washington - DL Coach & Def. Run Game Coordinator

    I originally thought this too, but he's also the Run Game Cord. Is he still maintaining that title?

    Al Washington - DL Coach & Def. Run Game Coordinator

    Is this just a paper move? Meaning, he adds the title to his resume and gets a pay increase in order to keep him at ND?

    Al Washington - DL Coach & Def. Run Game Coordinator

    Came here to ask about this. Not as any disrespect towards A-dub, but mostly out of curiosity surrounding Kuntz and what they've accomplished on the DL at IU. Which includes transfer portal evaluations, etc. What Cignetti has done in two years at IU is unbelievable. If Kuntz can bring a...

    Disagree. The SEC circle jerk needs to end. Oregon winning it all changes nothing for ND. If anything, it pulls more west coast recruits away from USC. I’m an Oregon fan from here on out.

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

    Horka and Fortuna trolling ND fans for clicks? Shocked.
