    2025 College Football Playoffs

    After watching that game, I can see a world where both Bama and OU are behind us. It was not a convincing performance by either team. I could definitely see ND, OU, Bama at 8, 9, 10.

    Any "Preppers" Out There?

    I don’t have much to add, but this is definitely my new favorite thread. However, I was looking recently at maps simulating how nuclear fallout would progress across the continent, the takeaway is that you do not want to move north, definitely head south.

    Well said.

    Nov 8 | Navy

    He underthrows 80% of his deep balls. Super-frustrating, but hopefully he can get that corrected over time.

    Nov 8 | Navy

    I just do not understand the need to go after every punt. This defense cannot stop your offense. It’s just totally unnecessary.

    Nov 8 | Navy

    O Line is the limiting factor on this team. It’s just not acceptable to struggle to run against BC, and now Navy. I think it is what it is. This team will have to pass to win in the playoffs.

    2025 College Football Playoffs

    To me it will boil down to 10-2 ND or a 5th SEC team — and I think the committee picks us based on the simple fact that we are patently better than every potential SEC squad. I really think it will be that simple. Good chance ACC gets only one team too — GT still has NC State, Pitt, and Georgia...

    '24 MO RB Aneyas Williams (Notre Dame Signee)

    Most years I might agree, but next year is a high-potential NC year. Assuming Love and Price move on, MF will bring in at least one proven P4-level stud. I have no doubt our depth is good/great, but would be crazy not to add an elite talent.

    '24 MO RB Aneyas Williams (Notre Dame Signee)

    Next year is MFs best chance yet to have a special season. I just don’t see him risking it by starting a RB that is not currently a high-level starter in the P4. I think James is a solid #2a with Young #2b. This staff likely needs to bring in 2 WRs that are currently starting at other P4...

    2025 Week 8 Prediction Poll: (20) Southern Cal @ (13) Notre Dame

    If we perform to our standard, this game should not be close — we should a game like this by 17+. We have out-recruited, out-developed, and out-coached this team for a decade. We have out grown USC, they are no longer in our pier group. Conversations about his being a competitive game should...

    Sept 27 | Arkansas

    I couldn’t survive the fury of being a fan of this Arkansas defense.

    Ask Merckxe525 aka Dear Abby

    Maybe next time don’t give a guy his own thread, it’s easy to see why it became overwhelming. He couldn’t just enjoy IE for what it is . . . a cesspool of high anxiety nerds and frustrated former athletes.

    Chad Bowden to USC

    Totally agree, the ND GM role is one of the most complex positions I college football, I suspect. Part of me wonders whether Blanchard didn’t want the pressure and challenge of an ND role and so asked for something he knew he could not get. He wouldn’t be the first dude who chose the relative...

    Chad Bowden to USC

    My favorite post of 2025 so far.

    Can’t decide whether it was creepier to seek the information, or publish it.

    This will be by far the worst defensive Big 2 in the history of the league.

    The Way Too Early Starting Lineups for 2025

    I think this is the right approach. We have great weapons coming back, just play the guy who can best distribute the rock and we role Miami. If Carr is the best man it will show up in the Fall. I’d prefer to keep Angeli around and lose Minchey to the portal (if we must lose one) — I’m sure...

    The Way Too Early Starting Lineups for 2025

    It’s pretty remarkable that we have 4 or 5 different potential OL combinations that could be Joe Moore level, imo.

    The Way Too Early Starting Lineups for 2025

    You need to synthesize the whole post, not be triggered by the one line you find objectionable. If you do that, you’ll see we likely agree, but that you missed the point. All good, happens to everyone.
