Rest, Recruit, Recover, Get Stronger, Get Smarter, and move 3 spots up in the polls. Texas A&M getting better by the week. That's a win!!

Lots of upsets today.

The former Notre Dame star is nearing the end of his Hall of Fame worthy career and on Sunday, joined a rare list after recording a sack of Aaron Rodgers of the New York Jets.

Smith's sack of Rodgers was the 20th of Smith's career. With it he became just the seventh defensive back in NFL history with 30-plus career interceptions and 20-plus sacks. The others on the list speak to Smith's Hall of Fame resume. All others except for one is in the HOF.

Obviously it’s still early but Texas A&M looks pretty good against #9 Missouri. I suspect that win in College Station at night may look pretty good at year’s end.

Notre Dame has no future opponents currently ranked in the AP Top 25. The Irish are tied at No. 11.

So, say Carr hopefully lives up to potential and wins the starting job or maybe Angeli does. Nowadays, you gotta assume one transfers and for the good of ND that would be Angeli cause Carr would be a sophomore. I don’t think Minchey stays around and I don’t believe anyone sees him winning the job. And Grubbs is still in HS. So, they better get another QB commit and at least a capable backup in the portal. Does that surmise this shit show?

Has Notre Dame winning out; becoming the #6 seed; defeating Penn State at home; and, defeating Clemson in the Peach Bowl before losing to Georgia in one of the semi-final games.

Sorry about not posting this last night ... better late than ...

Minnesota-Duluth transfer Blake Biondi scored two goals and Notre Dame rallied with four third-period scores to beat the US National Team Development Program, 5-2, Friday night in an exhibition hockey game in South Bend, Ind.

A sell-out crowd of 5,054 at the Compton Family Ice Area looked on as USNTDP took a 2-1 lead in the third period before Biondi tied it up with 8:32 left — his second power-play goal of the game.

Grant Silianoff, Maddox Fleming and Ian Murphy then followed with goals over the final six minutes for the win. Justin Janicke assisted on four goals and Paul Fischer had two assists for the Irish, which open their regular season this coming Friday night at St. Lawrence.

Three different players saw action in goal for Notre Dame on Friday night — Jack Williams (7 saves, Nicholas Kempf (9 saves) and Owen Say (12 saves, 2 goals allowed).

Can flat out sling it. Would have loved to have him at ND. Did ND pursue him at all in the portal?

We saw him at work again on Friday and have some video of his effort, too. Big game against Lakeland High coming up this week for him and Lake Mary.

Via Tyler James ... this has been brewing for a while.

Not something we haven't covered, but the writer does a good here of the origins and how its use has spread.

From Rivals national analysts Rob Cassidy and Jason Jordan ... Good national perspective on Notre Dame here ...

I was told by a good source that Deuce Knight and Duke QB commit Dan Mahan are good friends and that as Knight was separating his commitment from ND, he told the ND staff about Mahan and possible interest. Mahan has apparently been told to "expect something soon" so it's at least something to watch if ND is going to go after a QB in the 2025 class.
