Less than 5 minutes after kickoff Saturday night against @CanesFootball, @Marcus_Freeman1 sent Notre Dame @NDFootball the loudest message of belief by hardly saying a word: The Irish were there to win & now college football can deal with them. Only @usatodaysports: https://t.co/OcZy7cgSSZ

I do.

@TomZwiller No one gives a shit what you think.

Last night, the CFP Committee ranked Notre Dame No. 11 in the first rankings of 2026.

So, I joined a media call with chairman Hunter Yurachek to find out why the Irish are seven spots lower than No. 4 Indiana and multiple two-loss teams.

I took this picture at Leo HS, Chicago in 1985 of the top 5 Chicago Public league juniors to be. On the left with no offers at the time is future Lombardi trophy winner, UPI lineman of the year and three time All-American Chris Zorich.

@timprister Credit Tim O!

[Tim Prister @timprister]

No but he’s not playing anywhere near where he has in the past and is not playing with the assuredness he has previously. So…something is amiss and since it’s football…

Notre Dame’s 2nd, 3rd, and 4th best defensive players combined for 37 TOTAL snaps against BYU

KVA (35/68 Injury)
Brauntae Johnson (0 Injury)
Boubacar Traore (2/68 Targeting)

They’ll be full-strength against Miami and for a deep CFP run ☘️

@RobertJ94638032 @SerJohnPork @CoachTimmyHyde @NxtLvlStrong I said grand slam

[Christopher Zorich, JD @chris_zorich]

Okay…… I’m all about “Good Sportsmanship” but the folks at @BYUtv, have taken “Sportsmanship” to a whole different level!!! Imagine my shock when they asked to do an “interview” with me and this was the final product????

Many stories about my life have been told, but none as eloquent as this.

@zogwin and Brandon Crow did an AMAZING job showing how Football & @NotreDame changed the lives of my Mom and I 39 years ago - Thank You @BigStoriesBYUtv!!!!!!

Go Cougs!!! (and of course GO IRISH!!)

Luke Talich wasn't a starter at the start of the season, but by now, everyone expects him to be an impact player.

The person who knew it first was Luke. He took a risk walking on at Notre Dame, which is "one of the greatest decisions" he ever made.

#WeAreND

[Tim Prister @timprister]

Valid rebuttal. 👍
My overarching point is Wiscy is almost always good against the run. When ND won by 4 TD five years ago, they rushed for 3 yards on 32 carries. W/out Love/Price and a new OL, ND will have to reestablish the run game. Aneyas Williams will be productive in 2026.

[Matt Moran @faceless0311]

@timprister Forgive this Badger fan, but Wisco’s statistically stingy run defense was a hollow benchmark specifically in the two games you mentioned. IU and tOSU combined for 65pts and 8 passing TDs.

What about Iowa? 36rush/210yds/4TDs
Oregon? Bad weather. Injuries. 45/203/2

[Tim Prister @timprister]

I specifically was referencing the Wisconsin rush defense overall, which limited the Buckeyes to 3.5 yards per carry and a half-dozen other opponents to 3.2 per carry or less, including Indiana at 2.2. Didn’t suggest that they competed to defeat Ohio State

[Matt Moran @faceless0311]

@timprister only because i was at the game last year, a gentle fact check on how Wisconsin performed at home in good weather vs the Ohio St—
Q1– tOSU 17 Wisco 0
Final- tOSU 34 Wisco 0

The only limitation put on tOSU that day was the game clock.

[Tim Prister @timprister]

11?!?!

[Michael Bertsch @SteelersPRMike]

I’d like @timprister to address this number on the upcoming podcast!

[John Brice @JohnDBrice1]

The $50m roster is here in college football. We @usatodaysports look at the biggest spenders, the positional costs & who’s setting the marketplace: https://t.co/3zy8Uz4PWS

[Tyler Plantz @Tyler_Plantz]

Proud of this team, and the way they competed tonight. Most of the roster had their number called, and it was great to see their fight when their time came.

A LOT to clean up but a lot to be proud of.
