Indeed. And we'll need it.Our SOS likes this score (17 - 0) so far.
At least you're owning it. One would think after losing to NIU that all pretensions to internet strutting and preening would have died a quick death, even though the defense has never been in doubt all season, nor was it in week one, even though Weigman obviously was not at his best and was puking on the sidelines. And very clearly played like shit above and beyond our legit elite defense.Weigman is dicing up Missouri. His stans (me) look great right now. We made him look bad.

But hell yeah I guess this means ND is awesome again!
Unless USC and A&M win out it has to be the worst since I started watching in the late 80's.Notre Dame opponents F+ ranking through week 5:
TAMU: #23
NIU: #90
Purdue: #88
Miami-OH: #100
Louisville: #19
Stanford: #83
Georgia Tech: #61
Navy: #64
Florida State: #56
Virginia: #65
Army: #69
USC: #16
god that schedule makes me vomit in my mouth just looking at it its so bad
ND fans can take a vacation until November 30th.
I agree that he played like shit for a variety of reasons, including possibly being sick. But I do think our defense played a part. What am I owning exactly?At least you're owning it.

There are 63 teams total in the power 4 ... essentially outside of like 3 opponents .. the other 9 opponents on the schedule are on the border of that 63 or worse.Unless USC and A&M win out it has to be the worst since I started watching in the late 80's.

2021 was worse. 1 ranked opponentUnless USC and A&M win out it has to be the worst since I started watching in the late 80's.
He wasn't sick lolI agree that he played like shit for a variety of reasons, including possibly being sick. But I do think our defense played a part. What am I owning exactly?
It's not as bad as 2021 ended up being. Only one team ended up ranked that year. (Cincinnati). So this year will likely have more ranked teams, and the bottom feeders are about the same. Definitely 2021 was the easiest ever.Unless USC and A&M win out it has to be the worst since I started watching in the late 80's.
That would have been nice if they could have been MAC champions, speaking of renewed schedule strength. But I'm guessing they're a pretty run of the mIll MAC team.Speaking of NIU..
Losing to UMass right now.
Pride comes before the fall. Perhaps that NIU coach shouldn't have been so boisterous in his 'helping Freeman figure it out' Of course upsetting ND put a target on their back for the rest of their schedule. Something ND endures game after game after game.
2021 was also really bad. Actually you can say the same about almost every single ND schedule since the partial ACC membership started.2021 was worse. 1 ranked opponent
Schedule actually isn't bad at all
This schedule isn't bad2021 was also really bad. Actually you can say the same about almost every single ND schedule since the partial ACC membership started.
It depends what it's compared to. Pre Brian Kelly, this schedule is bad.This schedule isn't bad
Did you not see the numbers I provided?This schedule isn't bad
I dont go by "your numbers"Did you not see the numbers I provided?
ZERO top 15 opponents
outside of 3 opponents, the other 9 opponents are all ranked ~60 or worse in F+ (there are only 63 teams in the P4)
I can't imagine there is a single BIG10 or SEC team playing a worse slate of games this year 1-12 (holistically)
And that's the rub. A schedule as vanilla as the one ND has been playing for much of the last 5+ years, doesn't stimulate a lot of excitement with the game's best prospects.
Stfu. As usual your numbers are false. A+M beating one of the teams you and SJB claimed were part of the fabulous SEC. You know, one of the top 10 SEC teams. Yup, those top 10 Mizzou. Up 5 TDs with over 500 yards offense, and holding Mizz under 200 yards.Did you not see the numbers I provided?

Virginia now 4 and 1. Better than people were thinkingArmy and Navy are going to be 5-0
Navy actually has a guy that can pass and halfway decent receivers
they are going to be a problem
You called yourself a Connor Weigman 'Stan', presumably referring to elevating his perceived greatness as a QB, being a former five star and all, so as to lift ND's perceived awesomeness if we totally shut him down, which we did. Even though at this point he's mainly potential and HS recruiting rep, and much less in the way of proven quality. But still, something to brag about online if it means enough to you. I don't know if he was benched or what, but he hasn't played a lot this year.I agree that he played like shit for a variety of reasons, including possibly being sick. But I do think our defense played a part. What am I owning exactly?
So they've already lost twice? I thought this was going to be their 2nd loss.NIU has 353 rushing yards at 7.5 yards per attempt. I wouldn’t write them off too quickly.
Their two losses are to a Power 4 team and a team that they statistically dominated. They should be 3-2 after this week.
Oh yea, those vaunted virginia cavaliers ranked down in the 60s, just beat the mighty flying eagles of boston college (another garden variety trash ACC team ranked in the 60s). That ND schedule is getting better by the minuteVirginia now 4 and 1. Better than people were thinking
Ouch!Oh yea, those vaunted virginia cavaliers ranked down in the 60s, just beat the mighty flying eagles of boston college (another garden variety trash ACC team ranked in the 60s). That ND schedule is getting better by the minute
I would agree with that. I don't see what the point of that is. Anyway, good win for A&M. And good for our SOS!Missouri kicked a FG from the A&M 6 with 12 seconds left to make it 41-10. That’s such a freaking loser thing to do in my opinion. Go for the touchdown.
Now watch A&M climb 12 spots and Missouri drop 5 spots only or some garbage like that.
It is. And no one cares about your rankingsOh yea, those vaunted virginia cavaliers ranked down in the 60s, just beat the mighty flying eagles of boston college (another garden variety trash ACC team ranked in the 60s). That ND schedule is getting better by the minute
