Game day thread. Sun bowl

Disagree. We're on a really good place with a ton of talent
not much reason defense shouldnt be champ caliber next year.
hopefully faison hits, backs are good.
The big question mark is the O line. doesnt need to be best in country. But hopefully its good. making the playoff is the absolute floor expectation next year

Disagree. At their peak over the last decade theyve been that tier below the elite losing to some of the best teams the sport has ever seen. 5-8 range
It’s good win and a nice springboard for next season !
A win is a win, especially an emphatic one like this. Again, I don't know what to make of this game given the sudden change of personnel and coaches. But 10 - 3 is not a bad season at all, someting to build upon in year 2 of the Freeman era...and MAJOR change in college football.
Here's hoping to a great offseason...as usual, I look forward to the next won.
Thanks Fighting Irish for the memories, yet again.

Well. Probably can go back to a few other negative MF threads now. Haha.
Let’s see. As “the” head coach the dude is 19-7 and 2-0 in bowls.
BK 16-11 and 1-1 in bowls.
Feeling like we are turning north. Recruting better. Coaching better.

Great win! Nice to finally beat Oregon State, after those 2 bowl losses before, and to get 10 wins! Go Irish!!
I will never forget the 2001 beat down. 41-9 OSU. Redemption today thanks to MF.
I was on a cruise and some douche bag Michigan fan was too stupid to find his game. So I helped him, then he stayed for the Fiesta beat down and cheared every bad play by ND and celebrated the win.
Just a reminder. While USC is our biggest rival I would like to see Michigan never win again. 😎

Has that always been a rule? Every safety that I have ever seen results in a free kick.
Wow just got home from work. What a dominant win. Well done, boys. A lot to build on for next year.
Remember OK State in 2022?
Freemans first game as a coach?
Has come a long way since then but you need to be more careful about your posts
I bet MF has as many ranked wins as BK did in his first 5 years
The Oklahoma St. defensive meltdown is indeed on Marcus Freeman. His defense, his team.
That said, good win today, any bowl win is good, and on to TAM.
Don't be 19-9.
Again, it doesn’t rank them, but rather is predictive based on each each possession that has been played by both teams. Oregon was a massive favorite in Vegas pretty much exactly in line with what F+ had.
From our perspective, yes, but it looks to me that he’s clearly got the ability to start some place, and I’m pretty sure other schools are going to think that as well.
In your world, Marcus Freeman gets the credit over Brian Kelly for the 2022 recruiting class; however, Marcus Freeman receives no blame for the defensive meltdown against Oklahoma State in the NY6 bowl game loss.... in Marcus Freeman's first game as head coach.
Am I correct?
Again they are rating Oregon higher than Washington AFTER they settled it on the field not once, but twice. Vegas set the line PRIOR to the game and they certainly don't use F+ to set the lines.
F+ have a publicized rating and even AFFER the games have been played they rate a team that LOST to another team TWICE ahead of that team. It's a garbage system that clearly excludes head to head results.
Yeah. And even if he was a HC I didnt like Id say the same thing
He had less than a month to prepare, he didnt have his own coaching staff, he had a couple coaches that didnt even coach the game, he was finishing recruiting, he had Elston as the DC when he shouldnt have been.
To be going against a top 10 team in that situation, I'm not going to put that on him. That is just silly and ridiculous. It wasn't his staff. Period.
Im going to judge him on what he's done as a real HC. Not a quick fix for a bowl game
He's 19 and 7 and needs to get to 20 and 7 in his next game
Lots of stuff on MF. Last coach to be 2-0 in bowl games was Lou with 3 in a row.
Has 7 AP top 24 wins. That’s the most by an ND coach. Is ties with Weiss for most wins in first two at 19.
So here’s my question for you.
Who is more reliable and more highly incentivized to be more accurate, guys who have millions upon millions at stake or guys who have NO skin in the game ?
You claim that Vegas uses similar predictive modeling to set lines, yet how is it with F+, PSU is rated #5 and Ole Miss is rated #17 and the vegas line is only 5.5?
With F+ rating PSU far higher, the vegas line should be 9 or higher favoring PSU but vegas believes it's going to be a much closer contest.
Just proving how ineffective F+ is when it comes to rating teams. and even predicting outcomes.
I would love to have him as a back up for the next two seasons.
Question for the board: Are Chaseball and NotreDamerises23 one and the same? Some of the F+ commentary sounds like it came from the same person.
