Going out on a limb…
As an ex-player, this year’s teams success feels like what many of us came to ND for…what we signed up for.
We believed and were drawn to all that ND is and stands for, but just didn’t have the guy at HC…we committed to all that ND is…
So proud of Freeman for navigating all that ND entails and somehow making it his own. Envious of these young men.
Proudest I’ve ever been of our team.

Brady doesn’t get enough credit for helping get ND caught up w NIL. True ND man.
SCOOP: Notre Dame nonprofit NIL collective @FUNDFoundation1, co-founded by @Brady_Quinn, raised whopping $20.5 million in 2023, according to tax return obtained by @Sportico.
FUND is closing at end of this year.

We saw the same argument from IU…
Doesn’t it say MORE about ND football, the brand, the values, etc that we have SO many proud fans that didn’t attend the school?
Crazy thing is, this team under Freeman is likely creating NEW fans daily.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a fanbase complain more about officiating than USC after this loss.
USC had a single penalty called for 5 yards.
ND had 8 for 96 yards
Make it make sense.
Soft team. Softer fanbase.

At the game today.
I think I speak for all football alums regarding the following.
Night and day. The reception/warmth I feel coming back as opposed to a few short years ago.
Thank you Coach Freeman and support staff.
Let’s go get this win.

Quick story:
When I was in HS. Indiana called the house to offer me a scholarship. I didn’t even come to the phone. They had to FedEx it a week later.
Think about it. We ain’t losing to IU.
…and f*ck Brian Kelly, just because!

ND makes it to the Natty with ZERO draft picks thus far. As compared to OSU who’s had 7 players taken.
Testament to Riley Leonard and Freeman and staff.
Somewhat unbelievable when you think about it…

This is fair and justified.
Actually very impressed w the awareness and accuracy of this punch.
Stay off players knees.

KVA can do sooo many things. True freshman in the Orange bowl. Played man coverage, edge and inside LB.
Remarkable.

Whatever becomes of Benjamin Morrison’s future (assuming he leaves for the NFL, as he should)…that young man should get credit, along with Coach Mickens, for turning the tide in terms of the corner position at ND. He made it a strength.

Lots of talk about ND having the flu and PSU dealing with food poisoning.
A- I’d rather have the flu.
B- If PSU had planned on wearing all white unis, they may need to reconsider.

You know what man?
I’m happy for both teams. The young men specifically.
Watching the joy from the OSU bunch, hard to not be happy for them.
Proud of our boys. Happy to be a teeny tiny part of their adventure.
Life goes on.
Go Irish!

I PRAY we somehow get to play PSU in the playoff. Al Golden and the D may actually make Drew Allar cry.

IU fans fail to realize most if not all of the anti-IU rhetoric is tied to their HC and his mouth.
Literally no one is scared of IU. We all just think your coach is a tool.
The amount of anti-Indiana rhetoric from ESPN tells me the SEC is terrified of what Indiana Football can become.
It’s too late. You can’t stop it. It’s already in motion.
The Hoosiers are here to stay.

This isn’t hyperbole
KVA/Madden combo COULD BE the equivalent of Manti and Jaylon Smith on the field at the same time.
Take both combos. Put them in a blender. End result would be very similar.

Another thought on the IU coach.
Be careful.
Don’t want to write checks your players can’t cash.
Poor example.
I appreciate Freeman’s subtle/classy retorts.

Rewatching the game now.
4 drops by Arkansas first two drives.
Second drive had back to back dropped balls on 2nd and 3rd down.
Back to back busts (in man) by ND defense on those last two drops.
This defense is far from being fixed.

Getting around to watching this ND doc on Peacock. Knot in my throat throughout.
If any current players read this…you’re beyond blessed. Go win this game 🙏.

Coach Seider new RB coach in today’s presser:
“To me ya’ know J. Love, he needs to play. He needs to be on the field 3rd downs”
Music to these ears!

Weather wont be an issue tonight.
That being said, seeing the WR group out there shirtless is indicative of a new era at ND.
This would unthinkable a few years back. Freeman letting “boys be boys”
Guys letting it all hang out.
Irish win big

We’ll discuss this tomorrow w @CoachTimmyHyde
Freeman’s presser was crystal clear, to me anyway.
Ash doesn’t like to pressure. Passive. Coach p-ASH-ive.
Pressure is the foundation of how MF wants the D to play.
Ash was the one panicking. Scrolling through coverages (not pressures).
Essentially, MF is trying to say, “if you can get pressure it doesn’t matter what coverage is! You can’t cover all day back there!”
Pressure trumps “the coverage”.

First time I seen this I thought CJ was pointing out blockers…
I stand corrected. He’s clowning the DB. 😂
This stuff is contagious in the best way possible.

Watched the film twice now
Couple sweeping thoughts regarding the D…
- They’re tired
- Lincoln Riley can still call plays lol. He was dealing.

Our OL is literally 3rd string
The current RG #56, replaced #55 (who was also a backup)
Anyway #56 WAS our starting LT until he got hurt and replaced by #54 who’s a true freshman.
Now that #56 is recovered from a torn pec…he’s playing RG
Soooo #54 is hurt and he’s being replaced by a 5th year senior
Did I miss something?

Rewatched the game for a 3rd time last night. TV copy. Not the “film” just yet…
4th qtr specifically. Guys played their tails off. Effort wise. Emotions were there too.
We’ve got a shot. This thing ain’t over. Time for CMF to earn that paycheck.

Rewatching the game. Couple of these holding calls were criminally bad. The hold call on Knapp after XWatts pick…perfect technique by Knapp.
