Recruiting should be better - imagine if Kelly could recruit 5 stars. ND doesn't really take QB recruiting as seriously as other schools. Listing starting 3 star players is dangerous. Are they beating out 4 and 5 star players or are they just the best of the "litter." Are we missing out because of lack …
Thanksgiving
The college football universe has surely always existed in a sort of shambolic, upside down state where absurdity reigns and universally accepted truths are as rare as a Michigan victory over their Ohioan rivals. That much is not news. But it’s hard to imagine a more ridiculous season than this one — no need to …
THE Ohio State Problem
Boy oh boy, did the Ohio State discourse take a turn for the worse today. We've (I'm guilty too, by virtue of this post alone) taken a minor health crisis in Ann Arbor and centered the conversation, as often happens, around a non-problem: whether their rivals on the football field deserve to play in other …
NDNation Syracuse Preview
Next year we are screwed. there should never be a need to change how we are playing this year. Vandy AD says she's looking for an offensive minded coach. Brian Kelly would be a homerun hire for them! Any chance Jack would leave ND to become ACC Commissioner? Yes. It is very, very likely. My …
NDNation North Carolina Postmortem
The Rees era...surprising so far. He has been fortunate. he was here already so knew the players. he had Kyren Williams emerge as a bell cow RB. Yes, and he shoots thunderbolts out of his arsehole. Weis looked pretty good his first year too. Next year will be the true test. Do we want BK …
North Carolina Reaction
Shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone, but Notre Dame absolutely owns North Carolina on the football field, now having won 19 of 21 in the series. Maybe the powers that be will decide that this one was actually Not A Big Win, since the Irish handled the previously high-powered UNC offense with such ease …
NDNation UNC Preview
Stomp UNC’s cracker asses into the dirt. Smack their mama terrible. ND football turns me into a caveman. you should check your damned tone on a Notre Dame message board. No need for vulgarity. When Friday comes, someone remind me it’s game day, please. There is little to be interested in with most of the …
Thoughts on BC, Bye Week, & the Homestretch
How great did it feel to sit back, let the blood pressure settle down for a Saturday, remember we’re 8-0, and watch another day of the insanity that is college football in 2020 unfold? Ohio State-Indiana was a thriller. Cincinnati almost threw away their outside shot at a CFP bid. Northwestern made a huge statement …

NDNation Boston College Postmortem
Are you not entertained? Is this not the NDN offense that we have been asking for? Rees seems to have had a major impact on "Kelly's" offense through 8 games. Board Ops can't reveal that Rees is a RH poster. long-lost-son Tom gives him the security blanket to let go and implement more than a …
MGOBLOG State of the Union
I sure was envious of ND last night. Just the nightcap dong punch I needed! They looked physical, could execute blocks, held up against the run, and had very good QB play. How did we beat this team so readily last year? Notre Dame must have upped their cheating game this off-season. My sadness as …
