@frshwater_joey@g_hemlock@Brett_McMurphy 1. Week 0 was not a legitimate offer.
2. BYU was not announced before negotiations were done
3. Why did the Nov. / Oct. not work anymore?
@frshwater_joey@g_hemlock@Brett_McMurphy The SC-ND game should be played this year at USC in November and in 2027 at ND in October. Lincoln Riley didn't want that. Too difficult. He gave up a home game against a marquee opponent. Why? Because he didn't think he could win it. That is the definition of soft.
@frshwater_joey@g_hemlock@Brett_McMurphy 3. You're proving my point with this statement. Lincoln Riley didn't want the game. He was the first to bring up ending the rivalry. Instead of saying let's play the game and win it, Riley did everything in his power to not play it.
@g_hemlock@Brett_McMurphy going to be forced into it. ND added BYU and USC added San Jose State. That tells you all you need to know. Unbelievably soft by USC.
@g_hemlock@Brett_McMurphy 😂😂 I see that you are subscribing to the USC talking points. Riley was the 1st to bring up dropping ND and then AD Cohen followed suit. A 2 yr extension was verbally agreed to and instead of accepting it, they offered a Week 0 game that by rule could not played nor was ND ...
@Brett_McMurphy Also be careful. McMurphy likes to run with fake sources, just as he did with his ND story from the ACC meetings. Narduzzi isn't a source.
@bruce_straughan Yes. Bad news, but inevitable. At some point he was going to go. Too talented coach. Confident Coach Freeman will hire a great secondary coach. As good as Mickens? Probably not but a great one nonetheless
A reminder to everyone screaming about Notre Dame
The memorandum allowing this to happen was signed in spring of 2024 by all 10 conference commissioners and ND
If you’re looking for someone to blame, it’s not ND. It’s EVERY conference that willingly signed the agreement
*Please remember this over the next year*
The 2026 CFP guarantees four P4 champion spots, one G6 champ spot and a Notre Dame spot if the Irish are ranked in the top 12.
It is NOT a result of the 2025 season. It was agreed upon two years ago. Here's why: https://t.co/vqLjOELikL
@awfulannouncing I'm not sure why any non-ND fans are worried. If ND has 2 losses, the committee will manipulate the results to make sure they are not in the top 12 like they did this year 🤷🏻♂️
