Churchill could have shortened WW2 by years if he had just “done a deal” with Hitler. George Washington could have done a deal to end the American Revolution. Zelenskyy is in good company.

And according to Sagarin they are 31st in SOS. This is all knowable information, available to anyone who is curious enough to look it up. One of those people is apparently not the lead color analyst on the ESPN network, but alas.

Maybe I've missed it elsewhere, but this is the first coach I've seen this August even mention admissions or academics with newly eligible players.

My dad’s Notre Dame was winning natties so I hope it is my dad’s Notre Dame.

The 1st Amendment never contemplated mass media reaching billions in seconds.

The 2nd never contemplated firearms capable of firing dozens of rounds without reloading.

The 4th never contemplated a phone holding a decade of your private life.

We don't treat any of those as grounds to shrink the right.

Scale changing isn't grounds to infringe on people's liberty.

It's hard to know what to make of the Vice President's bizarre, almost nonsensical, comments here. It sounds like he is equating the use of these "hideous signs" to an alternative version of the Nicene Creed.

A little background: The Nicene Creed, formulated by the Council of Nicaea in AD 325, is an essential profession of faith used by the Catholic Church (among other churches). It is also the familiar creedal formula spoken by Catholics during Sunday Masses: "I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth..." It's a statement of belief, mainly about the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. It obviously doesn't talk about "hideous signs" welcoming people.

However, the Nicene Creed does affirm belief in the church as "one, holy, catholic and apostolic." (These are the four traditional "marks" of the church.) This means, among other things, believing that the church comes to us directly from the apostles (it's "apostolic"). Thus, it derives its authority not only from Jesus Christ, but also through the "apostolic succession," an authority passed down from the apostles in the early church to the Pope and to the bishops today.

It's ironic, then, that the Vice President is mocking things like love and the church's teaching on migrants in the same breath that he is professing his faith through the words of the Creed, which includes belief in authority of the church. Because this "one, holy, catholic and apostolic" church has long proclaimed the Gospel message of love and care for the stranger, which Jesus himself preached during his public ministry.

So a butchering of the Creed would mean, in fact, not listening to the church's teaching on these matters and, even worse, not listening to Jesus's own teaching on love and loving the stranger.

Because, in the words of the Creed, we also believe in "one Lord, Jesus Christ."

This was not counted as a "quality win" for Notre Dame despite them being ranked in both polls at the end of the year

[Jack Sacco @JackSacco]

This is why they are Blue Bloods.

PS - Only legitimately documented championships (not “claimed” ones) are counted.

[SharpeWit @TheSharpeWit]

What we should have learned from this CFP so far:

-The SEC did not deserve five teams in.

-If a team is propped up by an early-season win, then plays that same opponent in a conference championship game and gets boat-raced, the earlier win should be nullified unless there are injuries or circumstances clearly outside the team’s control.

-If that same team is someone else’s marquee win of the season, that context matters and should be weighed accordingly.

-We can and should punish conference championship losers. If conferences don’t like it, change the tiebreakers to put the two highest-ranked teams in the CCG and reduce the risk.

-Stop moving teams up the rankings for “gutsy” fourth-down decisions against below-average football teams.

-Hunter Yurachek is a clown.

Yes, ND lost two eminently winnable games with a new DC in the first two weeks to two playoff teams by four points. That’s JUST LIKE losing to FSU by a ton, to OU, and to GA by a ton. Nothing to see here, @Espngreeny

[Sidelines - Notre Dame ☘️ @SSN_NotreDame]

And the fact that ESPN was able to successfully make the narrative “ND vs Miami for the final spot” while completely ignoring Bama is such a disgrace

[Pubstoolsports @Pubstool_Sports]

@AriWasserman No fucking shit Ari! This IS the one ND fans have been mad about.

You’re so fucking dumb and bad at your job.

[MikeGoolsby @MikeGoolsby41]

To be clear, I think I speak for all ND fans when I say:

The issue was NEVER w Miami getting in. It was ALWAYS w Bama.

Watching this Rose Bowl (🤢)…

I hope folks can emphasize why we “took our ball and went home” re: the Pop Tart Bowl

Beyond impressed w/ IU. Envious even.

@ArashMarkazi No matter what side you're on, the facts you lay out illustrate that USC is KILLING college football.

College football was once about tradition. Now USC is using it to line their pockets by destroying regional tradition with the PAC12 and now intersectional with ND. SAD!

[Pubstoolsports @Pubstool_Sports]

@diembesocal @colincowherd What are you even talking about? As an ND fan, I don't care about the USC game to get into the CFB playoffs, I care about playing USC because it's a historic rivalry that means something.

USC broke the PAC12 & broke quit the ND rivalry. USC does NOT care about tradition.

[Pubstoolsports @Pubstool_Sports]

@RossBrian30643 @Blutman27 Conference expansion that USC orchestrated. USC hates tradition, loves greed, and has helped killed the sport of college football. Kudos to USC - the University of Spoiled Cunts.

[Pubstoolsports @Pubstool_Sports]

@Mitchramsey21 @Blutman27 This is 10 P4 games btw. More than any playoff team played this year.
