I completely understand why they have the targeting rule but I still hate it. #13 from PSU tries to make a play, nothing intentional about it, he’s not head hunting, and now he’s ejected. I hate it.

Yeah they gotta go to the basketball flagrant system. It served its purpose to get everyone’s attention for a few years, but they have to fix that now. 2 accidentals or 1 intentional and you’re gone.

Just seems like very few of these calls are legitimate head hunting

Really hope we avoid another year of Notre Dame beating trash teams all year and then getting embarrassed in the playoff

Media will push the narrative like they always do. And of course they have nothing but easy road games. And thankfully they won’t have to play a neutral site game at the end of the year this year against a Clemson level opponent

meh... lol.

ND"s SoS has been top 25 the last 5 years....

sure they get thumped by elite, most do, but that's a hater's narrative.

They get destroyed every time come bowl season. This statistic doesn’t even include the beat down Alabama put on them this past January, nor does it include the destruction Clemson laid on them in the ACC title game. They’re not a bad program by any means, but they’re not elite either. It’s past time for them to stop getting put in marque bowls they don’t deserve based on high preseason rankings and trash schedules.

And? Outside of very few teams, who has not got destroyed by Bama?

Bama beat OSU by 28, after beating ND by 17.

They’re 0-9 in their last 9 NY6 bowl games with an average margin of defeat of 20.3 ppg. How many other programs can you say that about? Every go no around it’s all “oh Notre Dame is different this year, this is the year they’re legit, blah blah blah,” people start hyping them up, and then they get embarrassed. If they want respect they should join a real conference where they don’t get to pick and choose their schedule every year.

Meh.. ND isn't a football factory. They'll never be able to recruit like Bama/Clemson/OSU/UGA/LSU when it comes to 5 star kids..., They frankly don't care what you care about their IND status. If they reduced their admissions standards, then yes, they'd deserve some flack. But they never will. Lou was able to slide some kids in, and funny enough, that's the last time they won... Frankly, it's pretty impressive what they've done with the limitations they work with.

As long as they have a large fan base and field a decent team, they'll get the TV contracts, and they'll do what they want despite what people think.

Like I said

2020 they got blown out by Bama, who blew out OSU even worse.....

2018 they got blow out Clemson, who blew out Bama

2016 lost to OSU by 16, who blew out UM and PSU worse that year

2012 crushed by a great Bama team

ND did manage to beat LSU twice in bowl games during that period.
