  1. I would imagine going forward, the SEC is going to drop the P4 rule. The Big 10 doesn't require it and Indiana is certainly lining up 3 cupcakes at home now. If the SEC does the same, it would make sense that we only schedule teams willing to come to DKR. That way you always have 7 home games versus 6 in years we would normally go to the away leg of a P4.
  2. Is it though? We sold out the stadium for terrible G5 teams this season. What cash bonanza is the program getting from a Notre Dame series than playing Purdue? I don't think TV networks bump up your pay if you get them a sexy OOC matchup to broadcast. I'm imagine the city of Austin does better than Texas does when a big name matchup happens at DKR. Are we basing this on more expensive tickets for a Notre Dame game than someone else?
  3. This made me chuckle
  4. No Mo on the Inter travel group. No Gakpo for a few weeks because of an injury he got at Leeds. So I guess we can see if addition by subtraction happens. No Chiesa due to illness.
  5. I'm pretty sure Concepcion attended aggy bowl game practices which helped him decide to join aggy when he got in the portal. So yeah extra practices can help with that and deciding who gets more playing time next year. Sark specifically addressed that in his media availability yesterday. Edit: yep https://247sports.com/college/texas-am/longformarticle/why-kc-concepcion-wanted-to-catch-passes-from-texas-am-qb-marcel-reed-play-for-complete-aggies-252277450/
  6. They had a 5 loss champion because their conference has too many teams and it was stupid 5 way tiebreaker that got Duke in there. SMU had a chance to get in easily but couldn't beat a shitty Cal team. Miami beat Notre Dame. That should matter and it did. Notre Dame can easily solve all of this by joining a conference so they too will have to be in a championship game with risk. The committee wasn't leaving out the ACC. Where they screwed up was having Notre Dame ranked ahead of Miami last week. It would've gave them easy cover to exclude Notre Dame regardless of the ACC championship or to swap them and piss off Miami if Virginia had won on Saturday.
  7. I think that was the year Navy won for the first time since 1963.
  8. I hope Notre Dame is saying they're done with the ACC and is cancelling all their upcoming games. Keep embarrassing yourself.
  9. The Venn Diagram for those who believe in those things would be interesting.
  10. Yeah the ACC is sitting over there saying, what the hell did I do? Is whiny Pete thinking the ACC colluded with the committee to get Miami in? I guess Notre Dame can try to get their special deal with the Big 10 who will tell them no. Or the SEC, same thing. Or the Big 12, well...no.
  11. West Ham, we were up 2-0 so he wasn't needed. He was subbed in for Gakpo against Sunderland. Not sure why he wasn't subbed on for Leeds other than we had a 2-1 lead until the 75th minute and then Szobo put us up 3-2 in the 80th and we went with more defensive options. Mo's form has fallen off a cliff. We already have a shitty left attack with Gakpo so having Mo also doing nothing is one of many reasons why the offense is bad. I guess Slot is down to his final answers. I frankly don't give a shit what dumbass commentators say about Mo. There are no titles without him. He was Klopp's greatest accomplishment.
  12. All good things eventually come to an end. Mo made himself bigger than the club. The club responded. I don't like it but I understand why they did it. Mo made a bad situation worse. We'll see if he's on the bench for Brighton.
  13. Pretty sure Mo did this with Klopp just not as nuclear option wise. If I say anything there will be fire or something like that. I get he’s frustrated but he just made himself bigger than the club. I love Mo but nuking your manager is a shitty move when he’s not wrong to bench you. Carragher wasn’t wrong two weeks ago when he said you never hear from Mo in rallying the team. Only from VvD. I love Mo but all good things eventually end. I hate that he’s going out this way. But this what happens when you are losing or mediocre and no one has a clue to fix it.
  14. The full quote: Steve Sarkisian on the effect ND opting out of its bowl game can have on college football: "I don't know about the ripple effect for everybody. We all have goals and aspirations of winning conference championships and winning national championships, at least we do. But I also think there's an experience factor in all this, there's a growth in all this. There's development in all this. There's camaraderie. There's so much that goes into this that sometimes a bowl game is about celebrating a season and finishing a season the right way."
  15. In fairness to him, I don't think it was his call. If it was, extremely gutless. Another reason to drop Notre Dame from the schedule.
  16. They've been that way since the BCS. Do you look back fondly on all the Holiday, Alamo, and Texas bowls we played in?
  17. Pop Tarts against BYU I believe.
  18. I guess some of you can go be Notre Dame fans now.
  19. They're taking their Catholic ball and going home.
  20. I don't think Miami was going in until Duke won the ACC and the committee didn't want the entire ACC to not be in the playoff over G5 schools. I doubt they had any intention of moving them up. This way the only person angry is a team that has no real right to complain.
  21. It was better than the alternative of playing Iowa in Tampa, which Vandy is now doing.
  22. They televise Big 12 games. They're used to duds.
  23. The ACC might want to try telling Notre Dame no every now and then
  24. Maybe he's living in an alternate reality where we won in 09.
