Notre Dame WR Jeff Samardzija vs Stanford (2005)
-8 catches for 191 yards and 2 TD in the Fighting Irish’s last-minute comeback win, sealing them a BCS bowl spot
ESPN peaked on this day
“He has violated the one basic principle I’ve tried to follow most of my life and that is - it’s better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you are an idiot than to open it and leave no doubt.”

Here's what I don't get about this position, that is, Notre Dame joining a conference. Everything ... and I mean EVERYTHING in college football is about money. You can spare me this "competition, student-athletes, what about your teammates, etc." stuff. No one makes a decision at a university or conference that isn't about money. The whole sport is about money. Notre Dame has a lot of it. Why should they give it away to a conference that doesn't make them as much as they make on their own? The whole CFP expansion is about money. Go back to 4 teams and ND will be like everyone else, having to earn a spot in the top 4. Then you'll stop whining. That will not happen. Why? Money.
I’m keeping every receipt.
Way too many people talk about Notre Dame football without actually understanding it. No real knowledge. No context. Just noise.
That’s fine.
Next year will expose a lot of bad takes. Film doesn’t lie. Results don’t lie. And a lot of folks are gonna look real foolish standing on opinions they never earned.
I’ll remember who said what.
Let’s see how it plays out. #GoIrish☘️
The SEC is 3-8 in the College Football Playoff games the last three years in games against non-SEC opponents. League has been way overrated for the last two seasons and had no business getting 5 teams in
Those wins were over #7 Arizona State, #14 Clemson and #20 Tulane.
As we sort through another round of "join a conference!" it's worth dusting off this story about why Notre Dame won't.
Pete Bevacqua told @RossDellenger yesterday that independence is part of the school's DNA.
This was my stab at explaining why.
