Notre Dame (football only discussion)

I'd be furious if we gave up a bowl because we think our shit doesn't stink. Fuck that. Play better against the only good teams on your schedule if you want a reward.

Don’t lose against the two best teams you play, or join a conference so if you do, you still have a chance to get in by winning a conference championship game. Both definitely ND self inflicted problems.

Lost in all the whining I see posted here from the outside world is the kids who aren't going pro.

They just got fucked. Hard.

20-30 guys thought they'd get one last practice, one last pre game meal, one last road trip, one last game with their brothers. When you get older you don't miss the games, you miss the locker room (well, not Penn State guys but I digress). Those kids were just done a massive disservice by their AD.

The parent in me feels legitimately sorry for them. If it were my kid, they'd be hearing me voice my displeasure.

It sounds like the players voted not to play in a bowl, but they probably should have limited the vote to guys who were out of eligibility. I'd be pretty pissed if I thought I had one more game, then had the rug pulled out from under me because half the team was butt hurt that they didn't make the CFP. I guess that's another good reason not to go to ND.

Notre Dame bitching about the ACC not supporting them is so arrogant and tone deaf it's almost unbelievable...but then you remember this is Notre Dame we're talking about.

If Notre Dame was actually in the ACC, they would have made the Playoff. It's their own dumbass ego that kept them out. The ACC doesn't owe them a goddamn thing.

They need to come to the B1G with their hat in their hand. No special privileges. Bring in UVA and UNC, and they can still travel all over every year

Goddamn, how many teams does the B1G need?
