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.
Notre Dame got fucked over by the @CFBPlayoff and @espn
ESPN has hundreds of millions of dollars in deals with the SEC and ACC and a 7.8 billion dollar deal with the CFP
the FIX was in = every ESPN talking head pushed their narrative to the finish line.
COMPLETE BULLSHIT
@RiseNDraft Ryan, I know you did a small reference to the Ole Miss kicker in an article…but do you have a list of potential options as a whole to the kicker situation next season or will we need to wait and see who becomes legitimately available the next few weeks?
On this Thanksgiving, we pause not just to count blessings, but to honor the ones who shape them.
For Notre Dame, one of those blessings is Marcus Freeman ☘️
This season, every practice, every game, every moment has carried the weight of your belief in what Notre Dame can be. And that belief has become contagious. It has spread through the locker room, through the stands, and through the hearts of fans who see in you not just a coach, but a builder of legacy.
So today, we say thank you, Marcus Freeman. Thank you for your courage, your conviction, and your commitment to the Irish. Thank you for reminding us that gratitude is not just a holiday tradition, but a way of life.
This Thanksgiving, we are grateful for you 🙏

Young man has improved exponentially each season. Grinder. 2 year, soon to be 3 year varsity starter. Versatile X or Z WR who’s always looking for ways to improve his game in multiple ways. Can play some serious 🏀 too!
Here are some of my best highlights from the 2025-26 season including my biggest plays, TDs, and blocks.

@CoachD178 I think Narduzzi saying this game doesn’t matter if they lose proves a point its more difficult being an independent. No saving grace of being able to afford Ls. Being in a BAD conference & being saved by a guarantee when you have 3-4 losses by winning a CC is more of a scam 🤷♂️
