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.
