Left side of the Pats line has been beyond pathetic all playoffs once they had to go against good D lines. Their defense kept them in (and winning) games, even for most of last night. Drake has some growing up to do still, but good lord McDaniels also didn't call anything to help him out last...

Do they think ND unilaterally made that change? We held the rest of CFB at gunpoint and insisted upon it? These mouth breathers need to rake their own leaders over the coals for agreeing to it if it’s such an awful change. Do they think ND would NOT agree to a provision that protects us? Good...

They both significantly benefited from the age and experience of their starters - Cignetti is just a way better coach than Cristobal, and Mendoza is a way more clutch player than Beck. Pretty much all it boiled down to.

He's got an ego the size of Texas. What else is there to prove at the CFB level? He just took the historically worst CFB team and won them a ship. He seems the type to be always eyeing the next challenge (nonconf schedule notwithstanding)

When ND was making elite 8 runs and taking UK to the wire, people were excited but moved on quick. The same will happen with IU fans as soon as Hoosier bball gives them something to be pissed off about when they inevitably flame out as usual

A lot of stars had to align for this to happen. A new era of portal + NIL that IU was able to aggressively pursue while others were still adjusting and allowed Cig to turn over a roster quick + COVID allowing a ridiculously old roster. He's an incredible coach no doubt, but let's see what next...

And everyone outside the IU fanbase knows that’s nonsense. Don’t worry about it

Insane, arguably several generations. I mean that was 30 years ago!

Only thing with IU winning that I like - it is really cool in CFB to have a first time champ. It never happens. When was the last one? FSU in 1993? Edit - was answered by stl - UF in 96

I thought the world was gonna end when Michigan won in 2023 - no outcome tonight can hurt me, cause turns out the shine wears off quick. Same will happen regardless of who wins this game.

Great point - but honestly that ND team definitely could have lost to that K State team. But that’s definitely 1A to this year

Awful clock management on both sides. This year will always be the biggest what if of my ND fandom

"experts" genuinely believe this will be a bigger blowout than UGA/TCU? What sort of crack are these people smoking? *EDIT* saw that this apparently is a repeated troll job by this guy, nevermind

My take is that - MF is young still, and good to great NFL gigs come open with some regularity. He has unfinished business at ND, and ND is investing in him and the program at the level needed to get over the hump. He knows the legacy he'll have if he brings ND a championship, and that the NFL...

Nothing against you - but insiders have proven they don’t know shit this cycle.

I mean yeah we know why ND hasn’t gotten it done. Doesn’t make it any easier to swallow - there just isn’t a world where I could have conceived that IU would win a CFB championship before ND does in my lifetime.

They’re definitely a great team, I just don’t think they’re any better than a lot of other undefeated national champions. They’re just not talented enough to be in that all-time category - that sort of moniker is reserved for only truly memorable teams in my mind. 2019 LSU is really the only...

I think it’s more just disappointment that somehow a team like IU could put it all together after decades of never giving a shit about football, while ND has been in the wilderness for close to 40 years. Would just suck

I don’t totally agree with this - talent is so much more spread out nowadays, this team would likely lose to the great teams of 2010-2022. But in this new era, definitely setting a high standard.
