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.

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.
What percent of Notre Dame fans actually attended Notre Dame? 🤔

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…

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.

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. #NeverDaunted #IUFB

Is there a better OC/DC combo in the country right now?

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.

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.

No question this is happening
I’m prepared for ESPN to touch on Abdul Carter’s injury over and over and over and not on any of Notre Dame’s dozen injuries. You can virtually guarantee this will happen
12
24
675
50,325
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”.

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?
