A detective looking for the father he barely knew. A house that only opens for the man who built it. Three armed men who thought it would be empty.

Hot take: The ’91 Hogs were the best pass protectors. Our ’98 @Broncos were the better O-line.
More points. More yards. 2,000-yard MVP. Back-to-back rings.
Then again, maybe it was just those wideouts blocking downfield, haha

Fun fact: Notre Dame struggled to schedule anyone because the Western Conference / Big Ten spread false rumours to crooked sportswriters about the ethics of the program which made them toxic to associate with.
By 1909 the conference prohibited their schools from playing ND altogether and denied the Irish’s application to join the conference.
One of many instances where the conference not only denied ND but actively tried to starve its athletic department.
Things would change for Notre Dame when an East Coast powerhouse gave them a shot: Army West Point.
He will leave a wonderful legacy. May he R.I.P.

For the record - the Navy rivalry should be protected at all costs. If you don’t know the history behind it, @TopTierIrish explains it well.
In this era I know tradition doesn’t always matter to everyone. But it matters at Notre Dame.

Going 11-1 in the playoffs en route to winning the World Series isn’t for everyone.
Unless of course you’re the 2005 Chicago White Sox (or 1999 Yankees).
Why did Tampa Bay take Rasmussen out so early? Is it just due to short rest? He was pitching fine. The bullpen is overworked.

I'll answer this now: It's the 2005 White Sox. They won 99 games and led their division from start to finish. Including the regular season, they went 19-3 over their final 22 games (8-2 reg season/11-1 in the playoffs) and swept the Astros in the World Series.

Based on both mathematically & realistically being alive, I think the number of Power 4 teams fighting for the 11 CFP spots right now is ironically……..24
SEC = 9 (Kentucky, UGA, Bama, Florida, Ole Miss, LSU, Tennessee, Mizzou, Texas)
Big 10 = 6 (UCLA, OSU, Indiana, Norhtwestern, Wisconsin, Nebraska)
Big 12 = 5 (Utah, BYU, Arizona, Tx Tech, Ok State)
ACC = 3 (Miami, SMU, Wake Forest)
Plus Notre Dame

The majority of MLB owners and general managers have no idea why the Brewers are the best team in baseball.
I will give them a hint.
It has nothing to do with hiring Driveline employees.
It has very little to do with data and analytics.
It has a lot to do with real baseball guys and basic fundamentals.

Anyone who actually hates Notre Dame just doesn’t understand CFB in total.
Or they’re rivals and truly hate NDs guts for competitive reasons, which is fine.
It’s the ppl who watch ESPN for 30 min a week & cry on twitter that are insufferable.

People act like we play Navy instead of 2012 Alabama. Reality is we play Navy instead of an FCS team. Most programs play 9 power 5 teams. We usually play 10.

Got a text from another personnel executive this morning, noting that this is the third straight QB class that has had similar problems.
The 2027 QB draft class was expected to be loaded. Now it’s getting messy. And it’s not just an Arch Manning problem. From NFL Blue Book… nflbluebook.com/p/week-7-rec…
