Notre Dame (football only discussion)

Zander42
Love all the ragging on ND. It's what we do and it's on-point.

But on a serious note, I kind of agree with them here. With all of the "good bowls" tied to the CFP, Notre Dame would be relegated to [checks notes] the PopTart bowl. The fucking PopTart bowl. They're a 10-2 team, by four total points, to top 10 teams, and they go to the PopTart bowl? Yeah, fuck that if I'm them. If it was Ohio Stat in that situation, would you be ok with it?

Add to that, their star players are definitely not playing (which everyone is, for the most part, perfectly ok with), so they have to re-do their scheme and all that, so it's not the real 2025 team anyway. They win, nobody cares. They lose, especially lose big, that result gets repeated all over next season. No win situation.

And it's the PopTarts bowl.

As far as practice. Fuck the NCAA. They should practice anyway. What's the NCAA going to do. Suspend a coach for a few games. All Notre Dame has to do is threaten to sue a few times and the NCAA will let them walk with a small fine. Bet.

I kind of begrudgingly think that this is the correct move.

Now back to your regularly scheduled shit-talking.

Between those and all the times someone has posted about the time they briefly encountered Joesus, he did something ordinary like made eye contact or said “hi”, and it’s the greatest memory of their life, they probably are the most storied. That many of the stories are horror stories that make “It” or the Brothers Grimm fairy tales look like Sesame Street is glossed over.

Why in the hell are you watching Colin Cowherd? Do you realize they literally had a meeting to discuss how to do exactly what you almost did?

How people who actually watch these rage baiting morons think production meetings go:
"Hey guys, another great week in sports. What do you all think is worthy of air time today?"
"All the conferences had their championship games....we could talk about that."
"Lot's of good action from the NFL this week. Can you believe the Chiefs might not make the playoffs?"
"They're probably playing NBA games now, somebody could google if anything is happening there."

How production meetings actually go:
"OK guys let's bait some rage. Which fanbase gives us the most eyeballs when we shit on them?"
"Ohio State"
"Notre Dame"
"The Packers"
"Nice...nice....everybody come up with some one liners that will get those message boards flowing. Now, which topics generate mountains of clicks when we talk nice about them?"
"The Chiefs"
"Yankees"
"Cool. And which conferences are we currently in bed with.....making us more money when they do well, even though that goes against journalistic integrity of covering the sports instead of involving ourselves in their day to day interactions?"
"The SEC"
"The ACC"
"Alright......you know what to do. Go out there and farm that outrage!"

Unfortunately I still fear this ends with Pettiti and the Big Ten throwing them a life raft. And somehow it will still be on ND’s terms.

No faith in the leadership.

I think people need to stop thinking about it as "in the Big Ten" as we currently understand it. Set aside the big buildings, CCIC, grant money, endowments and all that. That stuff isn't on the table.

Why would we care if they are in the new "Football only, for television revenue sharing only big boys group" with a bunch of B1G teams, SEC teams, and a few other names like FSU, Miami, Clemson etc?

Before anyone dismisses this as fantasy, the B1g is currently working on a structure to create a sports only revenue entity as we have seen. The hang up was not it's existence or the concept. It was a procedural detail.

A football only, revenue sharing group of aligned football teams is where this is headed. Has to be.

2025 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

You’re right, there’s no going backwards.

But if they went to 14 and had the top-2 CCG winners get the only byes, they would accomplish getting more games and keep the CCGs as being meaningful.

It makes too much sense to actually happen.
Click to expand...

Thats my read essentially.

They aren't giving up those tv time slots/revenue for what we now have as CCG's. It's just not going to happen.

So make them consistently useful and adjust them to be "play in" games not a rigid CCG.

Details matter, you will have to expand the field (it's going to happen) but there you go. Problem solved (sort of).

Eh we all know the rules before the season starts. I think once you lose 2 games you lose the right to complain. as a P4 (especially for the B1G SEC and ND) if you can stay under 2 losses you are getting in basically every year barring some freak season. Once you lose that 2nd game and put it into the hands of the committee, it's all on you at that point.

I guess the issue is that the toughest games on their schedule are the warmup games everyone else is playing at the start of the season. And they will get blown out.

Our conversations are silent on the two teams from Mickey Mouse conferences that crawl in because...participation trophy. JMU? Stunning 4th quarter win against 5-6 Washington State? If I was a ND fan, I'd be asking why in the hell those guys get an auto bid.
