I guess I’ll watch some.
Wonder if some of those ND fans in attendance had any flashbacks to the last time their team played a game this big in that stadium...
Also, if this game ends up as good as the uniforms, it'll be a 6 OT thriller...

If its a 6 ot " thilla". I ll nicely tucked away in dream land
What the hell on half time ????
Omg?
Agreed. I think that both Bands should be allowed to perform. That is part of what makes CFB great. It is part of the pageantry and tradition. Those kids have busted ass since July/August getting ready to perform and should be allowed to. I would much rather seen the band than some $hitty modern day semblance of a country artist.
I'm sure it will be some other dipshit they run out there on stage for the Championship game too.
Neither of these teams can throw the freaking ball. TE and RB are about the only pass catchers.
Who ever wins this game is gonna get demolished by Texas/Ohio state

I have always felt same way but it’s hard not to pull for Marcus Freeman, seems like a genuinely good guy. I think I could be ok with them winning a
every 50yrs with him as coach. Doesn’t really matter though, OSU gonna boat race them. Maybe not as bad as we did to in 2013.
ND and PSU set offensive football back 50 years last night. G Mac kept talking about explosive plays from PSU and their OC last night. I would hardly call a white guy with 4.75 speed at tight end explosive. Do like 44 as a player though. Neither of these teams could throw the ball more than 10 yards down field. I was amazed at the total lack of speed either of these teams had. They were playing in perfect conditions in Miami and it looked like a bunch of mudders on a sloppy track.
Agree with you. GMac wasn’t exactly a prolific passer in his day, so maybe that’s relative for him when he’s calling games.
I agree. I think its a very good crew Gmac knows his football. And has gotten away from "well this is what they need to do" type comments.
I was thinking about this while watching the game last night and it made me laugh. Brian Kelly left Notre Dame for LSU because he felt that he couldn’t win a title there. He thought he’d take LSU to a championship and make a name for himself. Now LSU is a mediocre team and Marcus Freeman has taken that ND team to the title game. Kelly is such an overrated egotistical moron
I do wonder, if he could have envisioned how things in CFB would morph at the time, even though the CFB Big Bang was happening under his nose when he left... with pay for play basically becoming legal with no rules, the transfer portal/free agency market that has blown up, the SEC adding 2 traditional powers into the field, and the playoffs expanding while keeping independant Notre Dame a nice warm seat at the table... if he'd have made the same decision to jump. I know Notre Dame still has some eligibility hurdles that miffed Kelly when he was there, but those can be mitigated now with transfers in a lot of cases. Another issue is, things were getting pretty stale there with him and he probably did need a change... but damn if he didn't pick the wrong time to do it.
After watching this season and the post season, I think it is going to be very difficult from this point forward for an SEC team to win a national championship. The SEC is a grind and even the lowest team (Vanderbilt) can get lucky on a given day. Or Kentucky. Or Auburn. It's going to be impossible for an SEC team to go undefeated, and by the time of the post season the top SEC teams will already have 1,2, or 3 losses, injuries, worn out players. Compare that to OSU and Oregon's schedules. They play one or two really good teams per year, they play two mediocre teams per year (PSU and Michigan) and the rest is a cakewalk. Indiana is an aberration, a one hit wonder. The Big 12 and the ACC are a joke. None of their teams will have a realistic shot at a title. OSU is the poster child for everything that is wrong with CFB today. They have a mediocre coach, they went out and spent $20 million dollars or whatever it was to buy the best roster in CFB, and they played one of the easiest schedules in all of football. And they tampered with other rosters to get their players. There's no doubt that top to bottom the SEC is superior to the Big. I guarantee you that OSU would have at least 3 losses in the SEC. Oregon would probably have at least two. And PSU would have 6 losses in the SEC. It just ticks me off to see that team acting like they own CFB. I think I hate OSU more than ND now. Almost as much as Tennessee.
