    Why doesn’t Ian Book get more love for his time at ND?

    He did which is why I’m 1000% on board with the high regard Brady is held in by Irish fans. But despite all of that he didn’t have the wins against ranked teams/big games that Book has so I feel like Ian should be looked at in the same sort of manner. Especially three straight years over USC &...

    Why doesn’t Ian Book get more love for his time at ND?

    I see what you’re saying & I don’t feel that you’re wrong but I guess I just felt like we were more successful/ yielded better results during that good period of time in ND football than the previous good time in ND football. In 2006 when we got the bid to play in the Sugar Bowl against LSU I...

    Why doesn’t Ian Book get more love for his time at ND?

    I’m not saying he’s disliked but when we talk about former ND players & their time with Irish I don’t feel like he comes up enough especially in comparison to other players & IMO at least in terms of winning the best qb I’ve seen in the last 30 years the best QB we have had.

    Why doesn’t Ian Book get more love for his time at ND?

    With all due respect to Mr. Quinn did he ever win a big game under Weis? Other than maybe Michigan in 05?

    Why doesn’t Ian Book get more love for his time at ND?

    Between these boards & the ND subreddit when great players & their legacies at ND are brought up we as a fanbase hold a lot of players in reverence for what they accomplished as part of the Fighting Irish. From players who went onto be legends in the NFL like Joe Montana, Tim Brown or Jerome...

    Marcus Freeman named Dick Corbett Head Football Coach

    I do think the media at large used declining to bowl bid to put off a sort of “well actually, Freeman isn’t that great of a guy” aura with him that a lot of fans have bought into, but hopefully the kids he’s recruiting to come play for him don’t see him the way those sorts of talking heads &...

    2025 College Football Playoffs

    Makes week one all the worse. They shouldn’t even have been there and we should’ve at least had a chance to play for it. If IU is better than us and beat us, so be it. But to use an old favorite the Hurricanes were who we thought they were and we let em off the hook.

    Kurt “The Truth” Cignetti

    Regardless next year for ND truly is Nattie or bust. Especially if IU ends up the winner tonight. The losingest program in major college football getting a nattie and making us little bro in our own state is unacceptable. Next year we must leave no doubt. Anything less than a national...

    Marcus Freeman named Dick Corbett Head Football Coach

    He really should’ve told ESPN to eat a bag of dicks rather than be on there after the way they treated us. Freeman is a nice person & wouldn’t do that but that, but fuck ESPN & all of those guys who tow the line on gameday.

    Tomlin at the very least had two Super Bowl trips & one win to his credit.

    Thinking of going to the Spring Game got some questions.

    Are any of the “normal” game day traditions going on the week of the Spring game? Basically do I get anymore than what’s at face value to give me a semi-satisfying taste of ball at ND stadium or just wait till next year to try & get the full plate at a home game? If I didn’t already have non...

    All I’m hearing about these potential coaches is Radio Ga Ga.

    Thinking of going to the Spring Game got some questions.

    Hey everyone. Unfortunately at my job it’s not looking good for me to get paid off in the fall to go see a real game (I used my first choice for vacation for the Indy 500 & NASCAR at at WWT Raceway both of which I already paid for). However, the spring is wide open to get paid off & I could...

    Marcus Freeman named Dick Corbett Head Football Coach

    The Steelers would be a better job than the giants but I hope Freeman at least sees this season out with ND. My bigger fear would be Ryan Day getting the job and him jumping to OSU in 2027.

    The Official IE Transfer Portal Receipt Check

    I say a lot of crazy shit, I admitted to not really understanding the ins and outs of the portal but getting the vibe that things weren’t good from posts. Either way I’ll throw myself among anyone else because I am self aware enough to know I say things on the regular.

    My wife doesn’t understand my love of ND football, but if I still had my dad here to talk about it, she would be more understanding of my fandom. Enjoy & cherish that FaceTime with him to talk about the Irish.
