    Limping toward the finish line. Yikes. 10-1 going into Stanford.

    I think it's cool that in the four years since a good friend of mine (and long time CL poster) declared Notre Dame irrelevant, they've gone 38-12, have played for a National Championship, have gone 2-1 in bowl games, and are eyeing a bid in the playoff system.

    No defense, no championship.

    Word on the street is there's a possibility ND plays FSU in Atlanta. That would be sweet.

    Flew to Houston where my brother lives. Drove to Austin. Spent some time exploring a pretty cool city. Watched my beloved Irish get out coached and lose while setting an attendance record. Good trip. Almost back to Orlando.

    A gaggle of high ranking teams were upset...except 'Bama. Takes the sting out of my alma mater #16 UCLA falling short against Texas A&M.

    Long time since i posted in here. I was at the bowl game today. First time I’ve seen them win in person.

    So, the Irish are 10-0. This is four straight 10-win seasons, and they're 43-6 in that span. 33-3 in the last two.

    Hard to believe Book may have played his last regular season game with the Irish. He has been a legend.

    Well, another 10-win season for the Irish!

    The Good
    First time in school history with 10+ wins five consecutive seasons.
    Also, the first time with higher than 75% win% for five consecutive seasons - at least since 1924.

    The Bad
    They're a better team than Cincy, but Kelly couldn't figure out the QB situation that game. Real shame. Should be undefeated.

    The Ugly
    I don't think they'd get crushed by Georgia or OSU, but I don't think they're quite on that level.

    Absolutely stunned. Growing up with Lou Holtz, I am a tough judge of ND coaches. Kelly is the best of the bunch, and I'm very sad to see him go.

    Not going to lie. I became a believer in Kelly in his time with the Irish. He took them to a consistently very good level. Never won a title, but he did everything else. Grateful for his time with the Irish.

    But I'm all in on Marcus Freeman.
