Tim Hyde is currently the head coach of Palisades HS in southern California and has been coaching collegiate and HS football for 25 years. He's a fan of our YouTube shows and reached out that he'd loved to talk about the Notre Dame offensive line.

So please watch below and let me know what you think of the video!

Mike's story on where ND stands in the Rivals' rankings after landing Tyson Ford:

since 1953-1955 that ND had 3 seasons in a row of 2 blemishes or less? Not even Holtz or Ara did that.


Great job by the ND football program.

Just curious how soon Coan can get on campus and start working out with the recievers? Sooner the better obviously.

Tip-off was at noon on ACC Network. Early 14-12 lead for Eagles with two minutes left in the first quarter.

Update: Ford's announcement has been pushed back slightly. We will begin the stream at 3:10 p.m. ET.

Does he see meaningful playing time next year? I think he is going to be a good one.

Multiple people in and around the Houston Texans organization believe Deshaun Watson has played his last snap with the team, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Okay, I'll spare you my annual rant about how sophomores academically really should not qualify as freshmen ... but I do think not having a tight end on the team — especially one Michael Mayer — is an omission that needs to be addressed, especially if you're going to have two quarterbacks on the team.

Did he have it?

This kid is a baller...

It has been discussed, but we're told Notre Dame does in fact want to get Houston Griffith back in the fold and is recruiting him to come back.

He's the only one of the Notre Dame players to enter the portal who we feel could return.

It was another good year both on the field and on the message board for us ND fans. There was plenty of excitement as usual around here with the whole covid thing, the tight win against Louisville, the big win at home vs Clemson, and the playoff loss to Alabama. There was a poster who left in disgrace - who was that again? There were posters that just vanished, and one that keeps vanishing, but we all know where he's at. And, there were some good additions to the board.

Notre Dame football brings us all to the board, however tonight is about the poster. That man or woman who went above and beyond the call of duty either in a good way or a bad way to make this board a better place. First off, I'd like to recognize @cheta41 for his 3rd Lifetime Achievement Award. He couldn't be here tonight to accept, but he's at home watching on TV.

His third time winning the award doesn't really have anything to do with anything other than he's 3 times older than anyone else here. Congrats Cheats.

If you're new to The Roundtable Awards, we want to nominate a poster who has excelled in a certain area. Some of the categories that we'll have this year are as follows:

Best Poster
Worst Poster
Best Thread or Post
Worst Thread or Post
The Poster who loses his sh^t more than anyone else on gameday.
Worst Troll
Poster giving the best beatdown
Poster receiving the best beatdown

As always, you can make up a category

You get the idea. It's always best if you can go back and pull up the exact quote, but if not we'll trust you. Of course tonight's award show could create memories that will appear in the 2021 edition. The great "Scrabble" debate comes to mind as one that carried over.

As always keep it clean, and remember it's not the winning that counts, it's the nomination. Good Luck!

2022 four-star LB Sebastian Cheeks tells me he’s had communication with Marcus Freeman every day this week. I asked Cheeks if he agreed with my vibe that the level of disappointment he had with Clark Lea leaving equalled how excited he was with Freeman being hired. And he did agree. I feel Cheeks is a strong ND lean and Freeman will be able to close it out sooner than later.

Four different Irish players finished with double-digit scoring, and two others tallied at least eight points for the second win in a row, and fourth in five games.

1-0 Irish!

@cheta 41 - You going to take old girl out tonite for some drinkin’ and dancin’?

Are you ready for tomorrow morning? Golden Girls marathon all about Rose episodes.

Goals by sophomore Solag Bakich (1:54 into the game) and Max Ellis (10:37 in second period to make it 2-0) and 25 saves from Dylan St. Cyr lifted Notre Dame to a 2-1 win over Minnesota on Saturday night at 3M Arena at Mariucci as the Fighting Irish completed the weekend sweep of the top-ranked Gophers.

Earlier this year, Notre Dame swept then No. 4 Michigan on the road.

“We spent a lot of time on special teams in practice this last week and it showed this weekend,” said Irish head coach Jeff Jackson. “I think both nights goaltending make a big difference in the penalty kill too. The big thing for us is finding a way to play like this at home and finding the same energy and discipline in the way we play.”

The Irish penalty kill unit was instrumental in the win, holding Minnesota’s power play to an 0-for-5 mark on the night. Notre Dame was 1-for-4 with the man advantage.

The Irish had to spend much of the final 10 minutes of the second on the penalty kill, but were able to kill off back-to-back calls against Landon Slaggert and the first 1:15 of another Gopher power play to stay in front, 2-0, after 40 minutes of play. Notre Dame opened the third by killing off the final 45 seconds of Gopher power-play time.

Then with 2:30 left in the third, Minnesota pulled its goalie and then six seconds later Jaxson Nelson got the Gophers on the board to make it a one-goal game.

Notre Dame returns home to play host to #9/10 Michigan in a Thursday-Friday series (Jan. 21-22) at the Compton Family Ice Arena.

Game one (6:30 p.m. ET) will be televised on NBC Sports regional networks (SNY, NBC Sports Boston, NBC Sports Chicago and NBC Sports Philadelphia+), while Friday’s game (6:30 p.m. ET) will be broadcast on NBCSN. Both games will be streamed via the NBC Sports platforms, including the NBC Sports App and NBCSports.com.

To my non QB coach trained eye, he can spin it....

Sorry if this has been discussed. Who would you compare him too?

Tip in 40. Maybe a winnable one...
