@themthatwashere@J5_Sports1 Notre Dame Stadium holds 77,622 people, rounded up to 80k…and ND would have sold out the stadium regardless of the weather or the beach (Lake Michigan is one hour away).
@NigelInTheCity@frzrsma@BarstoolIrish All the other schools traded in their guarantee when they joined a conference, which gets automatic byes. I would argue that the automatic byes are much more unfair…look what craziness happened last year with team not competitive getting in.
@frzrsma@HammyKlutz@BarstoolIrish Because every other team couldn’t hack it on their own and had to join a conference. What is super communist about a team being in the top 12 playing in 12 team playoff? That is how it should be for the entire playoff, not this BS conference bye system. You are making my point
@HammyKlutz@frzrsma@BarstoolIrish And you made my point exactly…I stand by that post. ND can still be shut out unfairly. No rational person watched the last week of the season play out and thought Alabama should be in over ND. And it could happen again. But if we are in the top 12, we are in.
@frzrsma@BarstoolIrish No one is crying about the automatic bid…getting in a 12 team playoff if you are ranked in the top 12 is just fair. And he wasn’t flexing the schedule, he was defending it as not as bad as people are blindly spouting. You don’t seem interested in facts, just hatred.
@Jadklein@xDisarmYoux@Use2TalkIrish Absolutely, but the BS ratings all season and putting Alabama in over us at the end was all ridiculous. And it still doesn’t mean we have to all travel to a bowl game and make ESPN money. The argument that we were scared of BYU is stupid. It was a business decision.
@Jadklein@xDisarmYoux@Use2TalkIrish No, ND decided not to make a bunch of money playing in a meaningless game for the network that kept them out of the playoffs in ridiculous manner. It is called agency and taking a stand. Keep up.
@LowIQExposer@SMacFhilib Connection to the school literally does not matter as it relates to being a fan…and conferences are for teams that can’t afford to be independent, it is not a mandate from God. Dumb points.
@Danske1588@TrojanFBx Did I miss the rule where conferences are required? Or maybe it is true that no other team can make it on their own…that is not ND’s fault☘️
@JarheadFrog@DerbySuperfecta This is, by far, the dumbest, most tired argument on X. Get a grip, there are no rules for who you can root for and anyone claiming there are needs to touch grass.
