Congratulations everybody, we’re all on the watchlist now!

Feels good to no longer be alone.

Don't see a game day thread yet for Arkansas. Seems like a potential good thing that this game is at noon

I was expecting this to be a night game, and I think II/ISD mentioned it as a likely night game too.

Same weekend as Alabama-Georgia and Penn State-Oregon. Surprised it's not at least a 3:30 kickoff though

Good nooner to start it, what a weekend of football

The crowd won‘t be quite as lubricated as if it was a night game,

Anyone been to the area? I have some clients around Bentonville and Siloam Springs. May try and combine some work travel with this since it's an early start. How is it for away fans?

 

[SeekNDestroy]

I love early starts. Waiting sucks.

It's been about 20 years for me, but the area was beautiful when I drove through. A lot of fall colors.

 

[calvegas04]

Hope the team is awake and ready, the early games always seem to be tricky

 

[Irish du Nord]

The favorite in 3 of those 5 games lost to ND last year FWIW

I've no idea where I need to ask this. Bucket list to go to South Bend with my son. Probably Navy or NC State. But I'd love to see a hockey game there as well. Anyone know when the hockey team and football are playing on the same weekend? Appreciate any help. We're in Tennessee and don't get a lot of Notre Dame's info. Go Irish bitches

 

[PolishDomer]

Hey Choo Choo..this is a good website for ND sports: Notre Dame Athletics | The Fighting Irish

I have used that in the past to coordinate watching some other sports on a football weekend.

Tasty schedule because Auburn v A&M, O$U v Washington and U$C v Illinois? GTFO.

How is USC Illinois in that discussion lol. The first two are interesting games though.

 

[Rocketman84]

Notre Dame vs SEC, very interesting

Notre Dame Football’s All-Time Performance Against SEC

Notre Dame's history isn't all that long considering, but the history is certainly still full of memorable matchups.

Two teams that used to be relevant and trying to claw their way back into the top 50

I would shoot for the NC State game, Navy games tend to be boring and lacking atmosphere. BUT any ND game is better than no ND game.

Agree and Navy games also have a weird dynamic where everyone is like afraid to root against Navy kind of? Navy games suck but if it’s the only option then whatever.

USC-Illinois. Man, what a matchup that definitely belongs in the same grouping!

 

[rtrn2glory]

I'm just saying if Cincy's looks like this seriously ours better be the new standard when it's all finished

Ours will be full of class rooms

I think the night game environment may help with that this year

It will be a respectful night game

On one of the NCAA Football versions (I havent played one in like 15 years so its definitely for like PS2 or something), when the visiting team came out of the tunnel they got hardcore booed. The only exception was Navy at ND got cheered. That pretty much sums it up.

 

[ulukinatme]

I'm not even seeing a '25-'26 hockey schedule is available yet? Are ya'll just speculating on the Navy/NC State weekends I take it?

Fayetteville is a great, great college town. I’d put it second in the SEC (above Oxford, below Athens).
