Notre Dame decided not to name a pro-abortion professor as the head of a prominent Asian studies institute. If I may make a suggestion for a replacement...
That’s the other thing…everything went right for ND on Saturday.
- Boise State wins Mountain west, improving ND’s SOS/SOR
- BYU loses, preventing them from taking ND’s spot, but preserving a better case for #11 than by losing to a team they already played while Miami didn’t.
- Bama, the team they’ve been compared directly against the whole process, gets nothing less than embarrassed (for the second time this season) ensuring they drop behind ND.
That’s why ND is upset, they won the process, and had the rug pulled out from underneath them without any legitimate rationale.
So folks at @espn are upset ND isn’t playing in a bowl game after weeks of folks politicking against the lack of conference affiliation, using them as a pawn for their CFB playoff selection show, having the ACC network play the UM/ND game on repeat for 48 hours during Conf Champ week BUT now it’s a bad look they don’t want to serve ESPN’s best interest by playing in an exhibition bowl game? Got it.
@ESPNBooger It’s about having the rug pulled out from under them by a biased committee with an imprecise and inconsistent ranking philosophy.
It’s about being signaled a lock in on a spot by the committee and then bejng excluded so that the ACC wouldn’t have their feelings hurt.
@CFBP_Talk @HorsemenPod Notre Dame sets the schedule years in advance and schedules the teams they do (outside of the couple ACC teams) precisely because they are meant to be good, challenging games.
As Americans, we are witnesses in just the past few weeks to a vicious pattern of political and social disorder. At Annunciation Catholic Parish in Minneapolis, the killings of Harper Moyski and Fletcher Merkel, two innocent children. In Charlotte, the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska. And now the political assassination of Charlie Kirk, known for his commitment to civil and rational discourse. We entrust each of these victims to God, our Heavenly Father and author of every human life, and his son Jesus Christ, the reason for our supernatural hope.
What we see unfolding in our nation is a vicious pattern of hatreds rooted in the rejection of God, of the dignity of the human person, and the sanctity of the family. We can eradicate these ills only through a firm reliance on God, through a deeper devotion to Christ and the Gospel, through a sincere love for persons reflected in law, and through a renewed commitment to justice and public order.
We are living through a perilous moment. Our challenge is not only one of partisan disagreement, law, and policy, but in a deeper way our challenge is to uphold the central goods of American political life: of faith, of families, and of a national commitment to live together in harmony as brothers and sisters.
