thanks brother, you saved the day!

Elder, sorry dude, I just logged on to tell after you reading your non stop emo takes....seriously kid, ask your mommy to bring you some warm milk and cookiers to the basement...and go take a nap. Let the adults talk ND football.....we'll be fine and you, well I hope you get some help.

Watch some of the player interviews with Bama, Clemson, LSU, Ohio State and Florida types...these guys better hope/pray they make the NFL or they won't be able to make it in "real life" with a career in a 9 to 5 job. Its sad actually how dumb some of these morons are but they are pushed along in these football factories. One bad injury, or off field shooting, rape, dog fighting, etc "incident" and its all over for these guys.

Christ is born. Wishing you and your families a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Love it and we totally deserve to be there. Any word on how bad Hamilton injury was/is? Will he be ready in 10 days basically? We have nothing to lose vs Bama...so I hope Rees and Kelly just let the chips fall where they may and we are aggressive.

One key stat, I think he is 1-6 vs Michigan State and O$U. Getting paid $8M per year, when he was hired, to contemplate such a horrible record against his rivals can't be acceptable for them...even if he is a "michigan man". Ps his win against us was in a monsoon. If we played them this year even at michigan, I think everyone knows we curb stomp them. Wait until o$u plays them later on this year, if day wants, they might be able to put up 70 or 80 points with ease.

Fully agreed. We took care of business on and off the field. Do not give into the losers looking for excuses as their seasons implode (looking at you Harbaugh, Franklin, etc).

If he wants back, by all means he's welcome. Next year is setting up really nicely to win it all. No Lawrence at Clemson, no Fields at O$U. Our "big" games are all at home. Then let Buchner get a year under his belt watching/learning, and then he takes over in 2022.

Michigan losing sustains me.

Book was great again. In full command and we dominated. As for Jurk, am still pissed that one pick off by Hamilton was called back for some PHANTOM face mask. Wherever this phantom call happened, had nothing to do with Jurkovec's horroble throw right to Hamilton. Jurk also got super lucky on another throw Hamilton could have picked off. Book vs Jurk? Man vs boy....its no wonder Jurkovec bailed, Book is miles better.

Good observation. I forgot about that. We did move the ball at will though I though. Baby Gronk dropping that sure TD on like the 2...and then the unlucky Book fumble going into the endzone were bad luck and would have been two more TDs. We shot ourselves in the foot also on the Mayer offsides second possession or would have had another. Score even one of those and it couild have ended up being a route. Proud of the boys.

The bandwagon Clemson fans who arrived post 2015 are hilarious. Their tears taste delicious. Apparently only they had injuries. Apparently only we got luck. Apparently only they got penalties....f them. Late in the game, a total missed facemask on our guy not called. Late in the game, PI on Ben, flag thrown but Dabo shows zero class and goes ballastic on the refs and they pick up the flag...that was a critical no call. They should also consider themselves VERY luckly on the Book fumble...he was going into the endzone. At the very least, we are on the three and eventually score and take the lead. They mocked us...and said they destroy us....and bam, we punched them right back in the mouth and manhandled them. And got the deserved win. PS oh yeah, F "big dave". Sick and tired of seeing/hearing about him.

So happy we won not only for us, but mostly for Book. The Book isn't good enough...we'll never win a "big" game with him crap stops now. When he fumbled, I was heartbroken for him thinking he'll always remember that play and so will ND fans...and so glad he led us down field to tie the game in regulation and then to the win. Gutsy play, some great runs and led us back from the brink. He is a great student athlete and so happy for him getting us the win last night.

What I learned? Sick and tired of hearing and seeing "Big Dave" ffs. No offense, no one gives a s.hit about him. Every player has a father who loves watching them and cheers him on. Hope "Big Dave" enjoyed watching us storm the field in victory.

Yeah, it was clearly pass interference...and Dabo going nuts on the refs who picked up the flag had me pulling out my hair. Truth be told, I lost a lot of respect for Dabo on that play. Yes, he wants to win, but berating the refs and getting a call overturned especially such a critical one near the end just felt slimey to me as it really did almost cost us the game. And I was sick and tired of seeing the camera on dabo and venables and "big dave" ffs. How about ND? They were in OUR house. So glad we won. This I hope is a program changer. Now, I just I hope we can avoid the letdown vs BC. But nevertheless the "Kelly can't win a big game" narrative is done now. Huge...huge....huge win.

lol, so true.

What a game. And when Clemson took the lead late, and their QB and receiver mouthed off in the endzone and got caught swearing, etc....I hoped they'd eat their words, and damn, we did it. Felt really happy for Book...the fumble was heartbreaking and I didn't want him to have to live with that had we lost... Huge win. Nationally, a huge game. Will be big recruiting implicatiions for us down the line. This year no, but 2 years down the line. Too bad we didn't have recruits in attendance to watch that but no doubt they were watching....

I thought it was over...punched the couch....threw the remote.....cursed a few choice expletives....and gave up. Turned off the tv and asked God why...why can't we just win a big game for once.... Then checked the update on my phone and saw we were getting the ball back...and said, f it, I'll watch for a miracle... And damn, we did it. I'll also admit on 4th and 24 at the end I feared something bad would somehow happen. But thankfully, it didn't. I told God, I'll be giving a large donation to a food bank today. And off to light a few candles at Mass today in thanks. Finally, finally we won one of these types of games. Huge for our program...huge for us long suffering Irish fans. Onwards and upwards.

God Bless.

Don't forget back in the day Rocket also was there. But still...I wouldn't watch a crappy CFL game if you paid me.... And I don't watch the kneeling thugs in the national felon league. Its Notre Dame, and Real Madrid footie for me...and Toronto FC....and the Raptors.

Merry Christmas everyone. And always keep Christ in Christmas.

Huge catch late when he got his trailing foot down. Will be a multi millionaire soon enough. :canada:

I like it. 2 year starter who has proven he can play.

When we fumbled that partial block of the punt I knew we were done...it was a disaster every snap after... Was sick to my stomach watching it. Weekend ruined and now wondering what the hell this does to our recruiting classes.... F me for caring so much.

Praying it doesn't kill all the momentum we've made in particular for 2021. Almost have to hope Ohio State crushes Michigan to make sure anyone thinking of Michigan over us somehow forgets last night. Any word from any of our recruits about last night? Someone walk me off the ledge...)
