The world has changed….

If you say so….I am confused. You’ve blasted ESPN repeatedly for being in bed with the SEC and influencing the CFP (I agree by the way) and you are using the 2 biggest voices from ESPN college football making the case for ND? That doesn’t seem inconsistent to you?? I follow social media and ND fans have indeed been brutal, each week of the CFB. That’s not antagonizing, that’s pure fact. I understand disappointment…I don’t agree with people constantly attacking other programs, always taking a victim approach without acknowledging the team did have opportunities to control its own destiny. An example….

Colts aren’t blacked out like the old days, so assume they have been selling out. Not sure about a wait list or the size of it. Just know many fans are upset. Perhaps zero impact on ticket sales. No prediction…just a question.

News? Most of what I read was in social media from ND fans angry and each week of the playoffs stating ND could have easily beaten the teams that have been knocked out during the playoffs. I am not sure I call that "news". That being said, I don't disagree about the debate with Bama and Oklahoma. I agree that the SEC got way "too much love". But, hindsight always is 20-20.

Wow!

Will be interesting to see how that impacts season ticket sales

Another big commitment

Huge get for IU!!

Peach Bowl is going to be a tough, tough game. IU only a 4 pt fav. The 2 teams really know each other well. Outstanding QB. Certainly both teams have improved during the season. IU has lost 2 big time Edge players on D since that game...a game where they overwhelmed the Oregon O line. I still like IU, but this will come down to mistakes and hopefully, IU gets the running game working and can wear them down and eat large chunks of clock.

I’m not so sure. ND beat #2 Georgia and #4 Penn State last year. They were 3-0 against ranked teams in 2024. This year they were 1-2 against ranked teams. People get excited because ND rolled lower tiered ACC teams in 2025, but they did same last year. I may be on an island, but I also think Leonard was a better QB and leader. Just an opinion. 2024 was a really, really good ND squad.

I understand it’s about money…stupid money….but Kentucky?

That had to be hard for him to admit…for whatever reason, my links from X aren’t pasting. Finebaum now admitting today IU could run the SEC gauntlet on ESPN panel with Cam Newton

That’s pretty darn awesome!! Obviously considerable intrigue!!

Guess Indiana proved they can win a "tournament game" out of their home state....whatever the heck that meant.......

You nailed it Komet.....I think Oregon will be much tougher.

Didn’t have the Irish, but fared pretty well anyway…..
