    The Optimal Notre Dame Scheduling Model

    Unless they figure they are likely to lose two or three of those and want a win strong enough to keep them in the mix. Sometimes a team needs to bet on itself. Even if we hope they lose.

    The Optimal Notre Dame Scheduling Model

    JFC. Our current second string would be favored in every one of those games. Maybe even odds with BYU.

    Follow the Money - The Big Business of College Football

    Pretty detailed dive by The Athletic where they estimate the NIL budget for every P4 team, and us, from Ohio State to BC. (it's paywalled, sorry/not sorry). https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/interactive/college-football-nil-spending-budgets/ First time I've seen this level of analysis. Nothing...

    Tommy Rees - Offensive Coordinator

    Oregon people need to back away from the ledge here. But let this be your friendly reminder that seemingly the only people who think Tommy Rees sucks are (one-quarter-to-one-third-of) Notre Dame fans.

    ‘22 TX CB DJ McKinney (Notre Dame Transfer)

    Yeah. Gray will probably get drafted. We have three NFL corners. Two NFL safeties. Really, an entire defensive two-deep of future NFL players.

    Marcus Freeman named Dick Corbett Head Football Coach

    There are only six or seven teams outside the SEC you get any national credit for beating. The top three, maybe four, in the Big Ten. Miami. Whoever wins the Big 12. That's about it. You can beat ranked BYU, SMU, USC, Navy. No one cares. They all suck. And then any SEC team that gets...

    Sept 19 | Michigan State

    So he's saying their only hope is to muck up our offense enough to somehow keep us under three scores, and hope they can steal a few turnovers or big plays. Because, yes, our defense will suffocate them.

    General team info

    Unless it was an actual physical fight in which the parent was not the aggressor, maybe, you back your coach there.

    Rice Postgame

    Adon Shuler has a knack for making opponents uncomfortable.

    Sept 19 | Michigan State

    Old enough to remember Bob Davie going 0-5 against Michigan State teams that - except for Saban’s last season there - were not especially good. The 23-7 loss in 1997, game three of my freshman year, was the day I realized that maybe, just maybe, we weren’t really going to be competing for the...

    Rice Postgame

    Was there any postgame update on Lambert? (or any other injuries). Late second quarter the broadcast said he was helped off the field and I doubt he was going back in either way. But if he got hurt that’d be a big loss.

    Rice Postgame

    The game was over in five minutes. I almost felt bad for their offense, trying to move the ball. Maybe that option shit works against some teams but we were just so fast on D.

    2026 ND Portal Targets

    Yes that is how I understand it. Hence our "$40 million roster" despite the $22 million cap. And while there are both internal and external pools, I would think the program and its major collectives/donors would coordinate on this stuff. Unlike, say, CJ Carr, Blair's not a big enough name that...

    2026 ND Portal Targets

    That was the word, yeah. The "pay cut" thing is tough. Happened with a few guys in this class. I guess a side effect of paying kids coming out of high school is that, if they don't turn out as good as you'd hope, they get less money their sophomore year. But probably some other school will see...

    Nov 7 | Miami

    This is what I love/hate about the "join a conference!" mouthbreathers. If we fully joined the ACC, our schedule would usually be easier than it is now, and we would win it almost every year.

    2026 ND Portal Targets

    I’m sure some people on the internet will say this is because we’re not in a conference/play a weak schedule/have our own TV deal.

    Yeah, how are more people watching that than Oregon-Boise?

    oof I was at that game. #neverforget

    Wisconsin Postgame

    It was really weird. I get the broadcaster impulse to make games seem feel more competitive than they are, but there was a point in the first quarter where Garrett actually said Wisconsin was "dominating in all three aspects of the game" and I was trying to figure if he was watching the same...

    ‘25 NJ WR Quincy Porter (Notre Dame Transfer)

    We have played one game. If by UNC we still haven't seen these guys, I'll start to get concerned.
