Buckeye here. Thank you for what you said about us. Be proud Irish. Against any other team, Ohio State would have had two more touchdowns. Your defense played very well. You have a great future and we completely respect you.
You are actually the first Ohio State fan that isn’t talking crap. To be honest I only dislike Ohio State because of the fans and not the team. But at least you aren’t talking crap in the comments like every other Ohio State fan is
Here let me change that. You people can talk crap but when it gets thrown back at you get sensitive? Too bad 89 years and counting. If we wouldn't have been so conservative with our play calling we would have put a 50 burger on you. You guys didn't belong there. Texas Oregon and Tennessee are better than you guys. You played a pussy schedule and had the easiest path to the final game. Just like the reporter said about your locker room being a bunch of amateurs. Your team was as well.
@@Dmb596 🤣🤣🤣 I’m not even gonna waste my time or breath arguing with you all I’ll say is people like you are the reason everyone hates your team because the team it self is likable but the fans suck
Thank you for that. I pride myself on being a respectful fan no matter who we play (except michigan) lol. Thanks for being the same!! Respect to ohio state for being a great team this season!
@@Dmb596 I'll waste the breath for you spaceman, but I respect your POV. This kind of sentiment, reaction (like, this is an ND channel, why are you even here??), and just general weirdness (saw SO much of it at the game; sat near a dude who must have been approaching 50 (or maybe just a hard OHIO 40) just screaming profanities and insults at the players like he had lost his mind with his two young boys on either side of him) is why your coach had to get 24-hour police protection for his CHILDREN after the Michigan loss. Some of you have serious problems...as my grandfather used to say, get it checked out. As far as playcalling, OSU ran it up on everyone else, but according to you, they just decided not to in the big show against us? Just shut up. Here's what's real: You guys paid 25 mil for your team (we made 20 just being there lol), and you won. Nice work, you were the best team, no doubt about it. Maybe go celebrate with humans you know (if that's a thing for you), or on OSU message boards (if it's not). I can't even imagine winning a championship and then randomly spending my time in hostility rather than celebration on another team's board/content. Anyway, on brand for OSU. I don't share the diplomacy of my fellow ND fans. OSU fans in my experience are the absolute bottom of the barrel worst. It's a toilet of a fan base, and yeah, maybe that's a vocal minority I just happened to have experienced because you got my guy above saying reasonable stuff, but it's so vocal it taints the brand. Have fun oscilating between threatening the lives of your coach's children and then talking shit on opponent youtube channels about how great your team is. I, on the other hand, love my team, win or lose, where they talk about faith, brotherhood, sacrifice, and the people that make it all matter. I'd rather bathe in a tub of razors and salt than go to an OSU website after an ND championship win. Talk about losing by winning man. You should get help. Love thee Notre Dame.
It was great season. Hats off to Freeman, coaches and all those players. To fellow fans how fun was this? And Tyler thanks for all you put into it. Go Irish!
Thank you so much for the content been a lifelong Notre Dame fan thoroughly enjoyed your show every day and sorry for your loss of your best friend in November.
Well said and hats off to Ohio State. So proud of our boys. I had the joy of to me watching the Catholics vs the Convicts game. I remember stories of the 3-3 game with MSU in 1966. Seen some greatness but yes this year is special. Magic just keeps growing with Coach Freeman. really excited for next year already.
I really appreciate all you do. You are literally my first listen of the day. It been a season to remember for sure. You made it even better for Irish fans. Go Irish! 🍀🍀🍀
Thank you so much Tyler. Huge lifelong Irish fan and I've never gotten into a ND podcast on a regular basis like this show. You do excellent work and it is VERY MUCH appreciated. We will be back, we will reach the promised land. Can't wait for the off-season content cause it's shorter than it's ever been, but it's gonna feel like forever.
Tyler you are the greatest. Your show is awesome. So sorry for your loss in November. Love how you brought up this being a fun season as it has been. Wish we could’ve enjoyed It more as for the most part it seemed we were walking on egg shells after the Niu game. That said, it was an amazing year!
Tyler I'm so heart broken by this loss,, but couldn't be prouder of this team! They fought their asses off, I really think they gave everything they had, I just think the injuries finally caught up to us.
Tyler- you've been the first listen all season for me, and I think you capture the ND alum perspective better than anyone. I especially enjoy your shows with Luke. Thank you, thank you for doing this show. As a somewhat obsessed fan since 1980 and 1986 alumnus, I cannot remember a more resilient Irish team than this one. Think about it - not just a bad loss early on, not just more injuries to key players than I can ever remember, but everything from potentially game-changing crappy calls from refs to a terrorist attack and shortened week of prep, this team was a no-excuses, all-fight group that got it done (almost). An amazing season and I agree with you 100 percent about Riley Leonard. He's been the embodiment of the Notre Dame spirit. Keep up the great work and condolences on your friend.
This season was the most fun I've had watching, not just football, but sports in general in a long time. Thank you Tyler for the weekly episodes. Your knowledge, passion and commitment to ND Football is second to none. It's been a pleasure boys. Mahalo 🤙🏾🤙🏾 Go Irish.
I loved watching this season, and keeping up with it with you and the podcast. I can’t thank you enough for your insight on the team. You definitely have a loyal fan of the show here
It was a great year! I tune in everyday to your show and I appreciate your efforts in brining us everything Irish. I'm proud of the football team this year and enjoyed watching them a lot.
RILEY LEGEND BROUGHT THE IRISH STANDARD BACK... ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLAYERS OF ALL TIME... MY FAVORITE TEAM I HAVE EVER SEEN... THE HEART OF THE FIGHTING IRISH THEY ARE!!! 🍀💛💚🍀
Amen! I wish we could have him back for a few more years. I supported him since day 1! Heck of a guy. I live in N.C. and am a unc fan so I can't stand duke. But riley is a stand up guy . Liked him at duke and loved him at notre dame!
@bobbyflake4313 Oh, hell no! RL was great this year, but it's time for him to go before we lose our RBs and WRs. We need an athletic QB like RL...but we need a QB that can process plays faster, get the out quicker and pass the rock with accuracy. RL is a good athlete playing QB. It was a great Rudy movie but it's time to move on.....
We had a great season. 2025 we are going to be awesome. All the best to the boys who will not be playing ever again. And good luck to the players who get to the NFL. Be proud! We love ND ! Plus: You guy enabled the University of Notre Dame to bag $20 Million for winning the CFP playoff games and participating in the Natty. That is huge for the school. God Bless Riley Leonard, all the players and coaches!
Notre Dame had a unbelievable season kudos to the head coach and his great staff and all the great players that excited me all year long been watching and listening to Notre Dame on the radio and on TV since 1954 spectacular season they will win the natty next year so proud of this university go Irish
Great season fun to watch I’m sure the haters and the pessimistic Irish fans who can’t open their minds will try to find ways to tear it down but overall this season showed that ND can compete on the big stage against anyone. Injuries ultimately caught up to them and they ran into a team who was able to exploit them. Respect to Ohio st that’s a great team but ND is legit and has only good things in their future so if you truly love the Irish you should be excited.
Thank you Tyler! 👏🏼 For everything this season! It was a longer road than any of us expected. The future is brighter, for sure. With the 💰 ND raked in and the journey of getting to the Chip, I expect a lot of heads to turn 👀 in recruiting and in the portal. I’m going to take a break from all social media 😅 Time for a little peace, rest, and relaxation 😌
Excellent episode. Your comments at the end are well measured and the most realistic I have heard. I believe that ND can make the playoff 8 out of 10 years (not every year as you said). I believe what helped them this year is the novelty. The first home game helped. The pressure not being favored helped. The week off helped. The lack of a mental barrier helped. This was a wonderful ND season. I agreed with you COMPLETELY post the Northern Illinois loss. I had ZERO confidence that they could win out because Freeman's longest winning streak was FIVE games! Hats off to your program this season.
Lol this is very morbid but I described this loss as being like when a loved one is about to pass away without you getting a chance to say goodbye, but then they hold on until you get to the hospital so so you get some closure. Still sad but I was so proud of how much the Irish left on the field and how close they got in the end
It was a magical season for all ND fans. The 12 team playoff is an absolute success, ND had to navigate the most difficult path in CF history outside of Ohio State this yr. We also saw how large the gap is, over the last 2 recruiting cycles we have the # 10 & # 12 classes. That isn't close to good enough to win a championship, Ohio St had between 10-15 5 🌟 and ND had maybe 2 5 🌟 player's. We also need to have a QB that is capable of throwing the football to our playmakers!!
Riley Lenord’s post-game pressor had this Buckeye getting watery when I watched it. I know that there are many Ohio State players that are conjoined with Riley in the convictions he articulated. I’ve said that it is too bad that the Russian/Ukraine war cannot have two losers. Both governments are despicable. Given the quality of these kids, it is a shame that this game couldn’t have had two winners.
Great season of content Tyler! Second on ATL. I’m on day two of trying to get home. Love this team, Go Irish! ☘️ Let’s parlay that playoff 20 millies into an even bigger NIL purse!!
A good team like Ohio State makes teams play at C+ level. ND was outplayed. Hats off to Ohio State. They deserved the championship. The joy the team brought me this year was enormous. I graduated ND in 73 and have been waiting for a team like this for decades. I think Marcus is going to stay. Hope he can handle the pressure.
I have no ties whatsoever to the state of Ohio but have been avfan of Ohio State since the early seventies because of titans like Woody Hayes and Archie Griffin. I am 66, far older than most of your listeners/viewers. I have to give Notre Dame tremendous credit. Down by the brobdingnagian score of 31-7 it looked all over but the Irish put on a valiant rallly and had this senior citizen soiling his adult diapers! Okay, that part about the diapers WAS a joke. Happily, I am in full control of my micturation station! Congratulations to Notre Dame for having a grat season. You guys have a brilliant young coach and have many good days to look forward to. One request, however. Can you please get Lou Holtz , put tape across his mouth and stick him in a closet! The 2025-26 season will be here before you know it and the team will once again WAKE UP THE ECHOES!
I can't believe Riley Leonard wasn't taken out of the game after the first drive. After he got sick on the sideline, he looked dazed, as if he had a mild concussion. His reads and progressions were slow and he was off balance. As a first responder, I have been trained to recognize these symptoms and believe he was suffering from perhaps a mild concussion
Great season, I would love to see that game played with Mills, Morrison, Bothello and Treore playing. We needed back end, edge help and a push up the middle. 3 bowl W’s and a chance to win the natty despite all the injuries. Future is super bright, GO IRISH
Never thought after NIU we would have played for a Championship. Even had doubts if Freeman would make it to a 4th yr. Glad we overcame it all and had a great season.
As happy as I am for my Buckeyes to win, ND gained a lot of respect from me. Love yall coach, your QB put it all on the line. Definitely want to give them their 🎉! #GoBucks
Great start for the Irish but the key to the game was Howard played his best game and had too much time to find his receivers and he hurt the Irish with his legs. Leonard played his heart out and was a great leader of the team. Excited for newer stars to emerge with Greathouse and Bowen coming back next year. OSU was the better team but I am still proud how the Irish played this season and fought back at the end. GO IRISH!!
Great to see fight from this team at the end but damn, our defense who has been stout all year completely let us down especially in the first half how many 3rd and 7 or so did they give up a passing first down, then I agree the play calling on the 3 plays before the field goal was awful but then jeter proceeds to miss basically a off centered extra point was atrocious. I was so proud of the offense for not giving up when the defense was getting worked and Riley #13 actually played one of his best games all year except some bad missed throws. The missed fake punt to I was not a big fan of but come on you gotta make that catch and the drive continues. It was very unfortunate to see our defense be the one to completely let us down except for a great play to cause the fumble and 1 single punt. Then to not even give your offense one more chance when they throw a 55 yard pass on 3rd and 11 like my goodness that defensive play call.
I believe that WAS the natural progression before the transfer portal and NIL. I would love to see how every team will handle the potential of gaining/losing players every season. Before you would have most of your recruiting classes throughout the progression. Things have changed. Excited to see who adjusts to this new era well.
As a Buckeye fan of 55 years I feel for the Irish players and coach Freeman, he's still a Buckeye. The Irish may have lost the game but they are still winners. They need to join the BIG so we can play more often.
Atlanta is suffering from years of DEI hiring practices as opposed to just hiring the most qualified regarding of their appearance. Yeah, i travel to the greater Atlanta area for work at least twice a year for multiple weeks at a time
Why does Al leave Cincinnati for ND only to leave and go back k to Cincinnati after signing an extension with ND?? I mean it’s his life and he can do what he wants I’m just curious..maybe it’s easier at the NFL level, no recruiting etc
Appreciate your coverage this season. Listen everyday… pumped for 2025 as I think there is a load of talent coming back and lots of potential to make another run
Mailbag ?- how should we feel about Christian Gray next year- big pick vs penn st but really poor finals and USC was a disaster- Great Job this year Tyler- as a relatively new Irish fan in last 4 years, loved the pod!
Riley Leonard left it all on the field in his final ND game. So proud of him and all the boys for not collapsing like prior years. Great job by Marcus Freeman this year winning 13 straight and two bowl games in a week. It was a great year. Go Irish in 2025! ☘️☘️
So disappointed in so many plays that game. That rj oven penalty felt like such a gut punch. I’m proud of the boys they defied all odds and I definitely feel like notre dame was the best team this year. They just didn’t play well. Even that play where smith caught it down the field. Watts stuttered on that play which caused a chain reaction on the o line, gave them enough time to block everyone. He’s not supposed to stutter in that play. If he goes straight then there’s no one to block him. Trevon blocked Kiser and watts would have been open for that sack. Can’t put the blame on gray, he did his assignment, he blocked the inside of the field which would have permitted a quick throw on a slant or in route. Howard wasn’t supposed to have enough time to throw it deep. So disappointed honestly, this loss hurts so much. Gg Ohio and congrats, Irish will be back🍀🍀
I think offensively our OC style will fit better with a QB who is a pure passer that has mobility. If you look at what Angeli did and combine it with what Lenard does, you have a top tier QB.
Unlike most of my siblings (we are from Lansing) I do not hate Ohio State any more! I am a lifelong ND fan and they played great, but the best team in the country won! OSU had the best run in college football history, and ND played that game with heart, grit and skill!! It was an awesome game and I didn’t feel either team left anything on the field! GO IRISH!!! Great future! Riley Leonard (and Will Howard) was great!!!
I don't know if it was a microcosm, did we ever have to come from behind all season? Did we ever trail once? I can't remember. NIU we trailed, didn't come back from that one. Anyway, a totally awesome season, and we proved when we had to play tough opponents that we belonged in the playoff, and we could come back and win as we did vs PSU, and were fixing to do the same against tOSU but the clock ran out.
How many ND players would start for OSU? I see one clear - Leonard Moore! Maybe Xavier Watts in a 2-high cover - but nobody else (of those who played)! To me, this makes the performance by ND all the more amazing!😊
I posted this on another platform… I went to 4 games this year A&M, Virginia, Orange Bowl and Natty. For VA game I was 3rd row 40yd line behind IRISH bench and can say that Golden missed several looks that I felt were obvious mismatches. I assumed I was missing something- but they resulted in several break outs for VA and ultimately 14 points. Just saying… Clark Lea was a great DC and I think Mitch will also be… Good luck to Al if he decides to go back to Cincinnati
It just looked like they weren't getting to him.The way they was getting to previous quarterbacks.I thought the defense of coordinator had the coach an exceptional game.I've been once this game was scheduled.I knew they had to have their best outpouring defensively.They had to be able to get to the quarterback and stop the run at bear minimum.If he passes, he passes, but you gotta stop the running.You have to disturb his rhythm and get to him
It aint a little bit better pass up, but they also need somebody with that toughness.I don't think you could miss Jack judge his toughness.You need that at a quarterback level to be successful on any level.But especially high caliber college football. Whoever comes in, he can't be a statue.Stand back there a quarterback , waiting to see what reads open and
The long and the short!…the team with the better personnel won. That in and of itself is the conundrum. HOW IS THIS CORRECTIBLE? ND has recruited as well as they seem capable of, short of becoming a football factory, WHICH personally I will never support. It is not coaching or game planning, I’ve been around football all of my life. It is simply players. As Bobby Bowman so aptly put it. “It is not about the X’s and O’s it is about the Jimmys and Joes”. And as a further note: I am not taking anything away from this team. They literally left NOTHING on the field.
I really wish we could’ve seen ND go do the TD rather than the field goal. That field goal angle wasn’t ideal and we were close to the end zone. I believe Marcus Freeman made the wrong call there and he was playing it safe.
It was not a comeback, a comeback is when you win. I don’t want to hear all of these excuses we can’t win the big game that really matters. Let’s be real.
I really didn't mind this loss. Not sure if it's because I expected it or because it was very very likely they were going to lose according to the numbers or just because I'm just not worshiping ND. Either way, I still love ND and they are my only college football team but I just don't revolve my schedule around them like I used to.
Moving forward: we will be a more explosive team on offense because CJ Carr or Angeli will open things up. Sorry, love R.Leonard but I knew things would get much harder as we played better teams in the playoffs. He played his heart out and I’m glad we had him but a duo QB system should’ve been installed! Freeman let his pride get in the way because he was 100% invested into Leonard! I was saying all year that we have to have a passer because it opens up the running game! I by no means am disrespecting Riley Leonard or Freeman, they both did a great job! Freeman and Dembrock dropped the ball with the QB! Every time Angeli came in it was clear! Night and day difference in the passing game from R.Leonard. I honestly think we’ll not only be better next year, but much better and probably the team to beat in college football! Love Freeman and how he’s coached up this team and I know we’ll get that natty soon!
Disappointed in coaching in championship, failure. I was hopping with Dembrock and Golden would make the difference, they failed! RL is running QB, that means OSU where not afraid of passing game deep! Stop your excuses Tyler!
OSU was too big, too stong, too fast! NFL talent going up against college kids! Nice run ND but OSU took their foot off gas in 3rd Q. Could have scored another 3 TD if they wanted to.
Yeah I mean i'm i'm static that those guys are hurt especially the ones coming back. What naughty understand what it is to be in that big big moment and I think it's only going to serve wealth in them down a road. If they are to return there, which I think they will would have a great chance.But let's look at the other things that they have come When no one expected them to even advance this far they made They secure a twenty million dollar bag. Recruit has went up ecstatically.They're gonna be fine
Beating Georgia doesn't really count. That was a shell of Georgia without the QB and even he wasn't that good. They played well vs Ohio State, but they weren't the better team. Hope they do well next year.
Osu only saying ND has heart because they won. I told ND fans their D wasnt better than Mich. The format was layed out. 2 high safeties, light box and play zone, man and zone/man. 3rd and 7 and you run a 0 blitz and leave Smith 1on 1. That was dumb.😂😂 Oregon Tenn Texas ND all ran what dont work against OSU. Congrats to OSU as a mich fan.
Notre Dame couldn't run the ball for most of the game. If I was calling the game I would have tried a few screen passes to Jeremiah Love. They never threw the ball once to him.
If you say it out at this point you know that these people are just being real stupid, you know what I mean to put it plainly. You know, d*** well from looking at that team and watching that fight that this is a way different type of tea. M, most of the national media pundits even said that so let's stop it. You know what I mean, these kids? This is a different brand of kids and coaching as well. And they're gonna be tasked with coming out from the jump next year. With all the players healthy more more than likely for good recruits. Just showed up in tidal areas date.They gonna be fine , man

Respect to Ohio st that’s a great team but ND is legit and has only good things in their future so if you truly love the Irish you should be excited.
Thank you Tyler! 👏🏼 For everything this season! It was a longer road than any of us expected. The future is brighter, for sure. With the 💰 ND raked in and the journey of getting to the Chip, I expect a lot of heads to turn 👀 in recruiting and in the portal. I’m going to take a break from all social media 😅 Time for a little peace, rest, and relaxation 😌
The FG attempt was the best option available at that time. Even though he missed it, it still provided the best option.
Blessings to you brother. Thank you for great coverage all season!
Excellent episode. Your comments at the end are well measured and the most realistic I have heard. I believe that ND can make the playoff 8 out of 10 years (not every year as you said). I believe what helped them this year is the novelty. The first home game helped. The pressure not being favored helped. The week off helped. The lack of a mental barrier helped. This was a wonderful ND season. I agreed with you COMPLETELY post the Northern Illinois loss. I had ZERO confidence that they could win out because Freeman's longest winning streak was FIVE games! Hats off to your program this season.
31 unanswered points. No answers on defense. Ugh.
I am so proud of our team this year. I salute the great efforts of all the coaches and players. We will be back!
Lol this is very morbid but I described this loss as being like when a loved one is about to pass away without you getting a chance to say goodbye, but then they hold on until you get to the hospital so so you get some closure. Still sad but I was so proud of how much the Irish left on the field and how close they got in the end
It was a magical season for all ND fans. The 12 team playoff is an absolute success, ND had to navigate the most difficult path in CF history outside of Ohio State this yr. We also saw how large the gap is, over the last 2 recruiting cycles we have the # 10 & # 12 classes. That isn't close to good enough to win a championship, Ohio St had between 10-15 5 🌟 and ND had maybe 2 5 🌟 player's.
We also need to have a QB that is capable of throwing the football to our playmakers!!
Riley Lenord’s post-game pressor had this Buckeye getting watery when I watched it. I know that there are many Ohio State players that are conjoined with Riley in the convictions he articulated. I’ve said that it is too bad that the Russian/Ukraine war cannot have two losers. Both governments are despicable. Given the quality of these kids, it is a shame that this game couldn’t have had two winners.
Thanks for the shows Tyler enjoyed them
Buckeye here, but I have a lot of respect for ND. ND is a class act. Knute would be sad for the loss, but proud of the effort.
Great season of content Tyler! Second on ATL. I’m on day two of trying to get home. Love this team, Go Irish! ☘️ Let’s parlay that playoff 20 millies into an even bigger NIL purse!!
A good team like Ohio State makes teams play at C+ level. ND was outplayed. Hats off to Ohio State. They deserved the championship. The joy the team brought me this year was enormous. I graduated ND in 73 and have been waiting for a team like this for decades. I think Marcus is going to stay. Hope he can handle the pressure.
I have no ties whatsoever to the state of Ohio but have been avfan of Ohio State since the early seventies because of titans like Woody Hayes and Archie Griffin. I am 66, far older than most of your listeners/viewers.
I have to give Notre Dame tremendous credit. Down by the brobdingnagian score of 31-7 it looked all over but the Irish put on a valiant rallly and had this senior citizen soiling his adult diapers! Okay, that part about the diapers WAS a joke. Happily, I am in full control of my micturation station!
Congratulations to Notre Dame for having a grat season. You guys have a brilliant young coach and have many good days to look forward to.
One request, however. Can you please get Lou Holtz , put tape across his mouth and stick him in a closet!
The 2025-26 season will be here before you know it and the team will once again WAKE UP THE ECHOES!
It was a great season. It’s a sad loss it really did feel like this was our year
I can't believe Riley Leonard wasn't taken out of the game after the first drive. After he got sick on the sideline, he looked dazed, as if he had a mild concussion. His reads and progressions were slow and he was off balance. As a first responder, I have been trained to recognize these symptoms and believe he was suffering from perhaps a mild concussion
Great season, I would love to see that game played with Mills, Morrison, Bothello and Treore playing. We needed back end, edge help and a push up the middle.
3 bowl W’s and a chance to win the natty despite all the injuries. Future is super bright, GO IRISH
OSU would have been destroyed with our starting defensive line up in place #GOIRISH
@@fightingirish8631 Ohio State was playing their ninth offensive lineman. I think we aren’t the only ones with injuries. Shoulda, coulda, woulda.
ryan day took the foot off the gas ,this game had 61-7 written all over it
Never thought after NIU we would have played for a Championship. Even had doubts if Freeman would make it to a 4th yr. Glad we overcame it all and had a great season.
As happy as I am for my Buckeyes to win, ND gained a lot of respect from me. Love yall coach, your QB put it all on the line. Definitely want to give them their 🎉! #GoBucks
Great start for the Irish but the key to the game was Howard played his best game and had too much time to find his receivers and he hurt the Irish with his legs. Leonard played his heart out and was a great leader of the team. Excited for newer stars to emerge with Greathouse and Bowen coming back next year. OSU was the better team but I am still proud how the Irish played this season and fought back at the end. GO IRISH!!
Great to see fight from this team at the end but damn, our defense who has been stout all year completely let us down especially in the first half how many 3rd and 7 or so did they give up a passing first down, then I agree the play calling on the 3 plays before the field goal was awful but then jeter proceeds to miss basically a off centered extra point was atrocious. I was so proud of the offense for not giving up when the defense was getting worked and Riley #13 actually played one of his best games all year except some bad missed throws. The missed fake punt to I was not a big fan of but come on you gotta make that catch and the drive continues. It was very unfortunate to see our defense be the one to completely let us down except for a great play to cause the fumble and 1 single punt. Then to not even give your offense one more chance when they throw a 55 yard pass on 3rd and 11 like my goodness that defensive play call.
I believe that WAS the natural progression before the transfer portal and NIL. I would love to see how every team will handle the potential of gaining/losing players every season. Before you would have most of your recruiting classes throughout the progression. Things have changed. Excited to see who adjusts to this new era well.
I love the moral victory themes it's really easy to see why it's been 40 years since winning anything before Kelly this school was miserable 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
As a Buckeye fan of 55 years I feel for the Irish players and coach Freeman, he's still a Buckeye. The Irish may have lost the game but they are still winners. They need to join the BIG so we can play more often.
Hat's off to ND. They showed heart. Reminded me of the Detroit Lions. Very emotional after the loss.
See you in South Bend 2025. FightOn USC.
Agreed T… Atlanta was thoroughly unorganized. Plus bitter cold …. ☘️ GO IRISH ☘️
Atlanta is suffering from years of DEI hiring practices as opposed to just hiring the most qualified regarding of their appearance. Yeah, i travel to the greater Atlanta area for work at least twice a year for multiple weeks at a time
Why does Al leave Cincinnati for ND only to leave and go back k to Cincinnati after signing an extension with ND?? I mean it’s his life and he can do what he wants I’m just curious..maybe it’s easier at the NFL level, no recruiting etc
Appreciate your coverage this season. Listen everyday… pumped for 2025 as I think there is a load of talent coming back and lots of potential to make another run
Mailbag ?- how should we feel about Christian Gray next year- big pick vs penn st but really poor finals and USC was a disaster- Great Job this year Tyler- as a relatively new Irish fan in last 4 years, loved the pod!
Riley Leonard left it all on the field in his final ND game. So proud of him and all the boys for not collapsing like prior years. Great job by Marcus Freeman this year winning 13 straight and two bowl games in a week. It was a great year. Go Irish in 2025! ☘️☘️
We did better against Ohio St. than Oregon and Tennessee at least. Texas did play them better, but blew it at the end.
Where was jaylen sneed? He had one tackle. I don't even remember seeing him on the field. He was huge in the playoffs
So disappointed in so many plays that game. That rj oven penalty felt like such a gut punch. I’m proud of the boys they defied all odds and I definitely feel like notre dame was the best team this year. They just didn’t play well. Even that play where smith caught it down the field. Watts stuttered on that play which caused a chain reaction on the o line, gave them enough time to block everyone. He’s not supposed to stutter in that play. If he goes straight then there’s no one to block him. Trevon blocked Kiser and watts would have been open for that sack. Can’t put the blame on gray, he did his assignment, he blocked the inside of the field which would have permitted a quick throw on a slant or in route. Howard wasn’t supposed to have enough time to throw it deep. So disappointed honestly, this loss hurts so much. Gg Ohio and congrats, Irish will be back🍀🍀
20 million dollar team! ALL DUE RESPECT ohio good run you guys. Good team
Great job!!!
I think offensively our OC style will fit better with a QB who is a pure passer that has mobility. If you look at what Angeli did and combine it with what Lenard does, you have a top tier QB.
Now the task with next season coming out expecting to sustain the momentum
We are back to the drawing board probably 3 losses next yr
I’m numb
Unlike most of my siblings (we are from Lansing) I do not hate Ohio State any more! I am a lifelong ND fan and they played great, but the best team in the country won! OSU had the best run in college football history, and ND played that game with heart, grit and skill!! It was an awesome game and I didn’t feel either team left anything on the field! GO IRISH!!! Great future! Riley Leonard (and Will Howard) was great!!!
I don't know if it was a microcosm, did we ever have to come from behind all season? Did we ever trail once? I can't remember. NIU we trailed, didn't come back from that one. Anyway, a totally awesome season, and we proved when we had to play tough opponents that we belonged in the playoff, and we could come back and win as we did vs PSU, and were fixing to do the same against tOSU but the clock ran out.
How many ND players would start for OSU? I see one clear - Leonard Moore! Maybe Xavier Watts in a 2-high cover - but nobody else (of those who played)! To me, this makes the performance by ND all the more amazing!😊
I posted this on another platform… I went to 4 games this year A&M, Virginia, Orange Bowl and Natty. For VA game I was 3rd row 40yd line behind IRISH bench and can say that Golden missed several looks that I felt were obvious mismatches. I assumed I was missing something- but they resulted in several break outs for VA and ultimately 14 points.
Just saying… Clark Lea was a great DC and I think Mitch will also be… Good luck to Al if he decides to go back to Cincinnati
It just looked like they weren't getting to him.The way they was getting to previous quarterbacks.I thought the defense of coordinator had the coach an exceptional game.I've been once this game was scheduled.I knew they had to have their best outpouring defensively.They had to be able to get to the quarterback and stop the run at bear minimum.If he passes, he passes, but you gotta stop the running.You have to disturb his rhythm and get to him
It aint a little bit better pass up, but they also need somebody with that toughness.I don't think you could miss Jack judge his toughness.You need that at a quarterback level to be successful on any level.But especially high caliber college football. Whoever comes in, he can't be a statue.Stand back there a quarterback , waiting to see what reads open and
The long and the short!…the team with the better personnel won. That in and of itself is the conundrum. HOW IS THIS CORRECTIBLE? ND has recruited as well as they seem capable of, short of becoming a football factory, WHICH personally I will never support. It is not coaching or game planning, I’ve been around football all of my life. It is simply players. As Bobby Bowman so aptly put it. “It is not about the X’s and O’s it is about the Jimmys and Joes”. And as a further note: I am not taking anything away from this team. They literally left NOTHING on the field.
I really wish we could’ve seen ND go do the TD rather than the field goal. That field goal angle wasn’t ideal and we were close to the end zone. I believe Marcus Freeman made the wrong call there and he was playing it safe.
Notre Dame is well on their way. I commend their effort in the battle. Go Buckeyes.
Word salad does'nt help.We lost ! Made stupid decisions.
It was not a comeback, a comeback is when you win. I don’t want to hear all of these excuses we can’t win the big game that really matters. Let’s be real.
I really didn't mind this loss. Not sure if it's because I expected it or because it was very very likely they were going to lose according to the numbers or just because I'm just not worshiping ND. Either way, I still love ND and they are my only college football team but I just don't revolve my schedule around them like I used to.
KAISER LEGEND 🍀💚💛🍀🫡🫶🏾
Who is the QB next season Minchey Carr or Angeli
No doubt notre dame 4 sure belonged there,especially the way they beat Georgia
Field goal was the right call… if you disagree I would be willing to bet you never played a meaningful snap of football ever
Moving forward: we will be a more explosive team on offense because CJ Carr or Angeli will open things up. Sorry, love R.Leonard but I knew things would get much harder as we played better teams in the playoffs. He played his heart out and I’m glad we had him but a duo QB system should’ve been installed! Freeman let his pride get in the way because he was 100% invested into Leonard! I was saying all year that we have to have a passer because it opens up the running game!
I by no means am disrespecting Riley Leonard or Freeman, they both did a great job! Freeman and Dembrock dropped the ball with the QB! Every time Angeli came in it was clear! Night and day difference in the passing game from R.Leonard. I honestly think we’ll not only be better next year, but much better and probably the team to beat in college football! Love Freeman and how he’s coached up this team and I know we’ll get that natty soon!
No moral victories, we lost.
GOLDEN was awol in championship game…..
Ohio state was playing with their food. GO BUCKEYE!!
Disappointed in coaching in championship, failure. I was hopping with Dembrock and Golden would make the difference, they failed!
RL is running QB, that means OSU where not afraid of passing game deep!
Stop your excuses Tyler!
Riley was GREAT!!! Problem: Will was BETTER.
OSU was too big, too stong, too fast! NFL talent going up against college kids! Nice run ND but OSU took their foot off gas in 3rd Q. Could have scored another 3 TD if they wanted to.
Notre Dame didn’t play well BECAUSE THEY WERE DACING THE BUCKEYES. Give OSau their credit. They can’t play sound football when OSU is going all in.
Yeah I mean i'm i'm static that those guys are hurt especially the ones coming back. What naughty understand what it is to be in that big big moment and I think it's only going to serve wealth in them down a road. If they are to return there, which I think they will would have a great chance.But let's look at the other things that they have come When no one expected them to even advance this far they made They secure a twenty million dollar bag. Recruit has went up ecstatically.They're gonna be fine
Beating Georgia doesn't really count. That was a shell of Georgia without the QB and even he wasn't that good. They played well vs Ohio State, but they weren't the better team. Hope they do well next year.
Yeah it does count. Carson Beck is overrated. ND would have beat George with him. Their back up beat Texas in the SEC championship game.
Osu only saying ND has heart because they won. I told ND fans their D wasnt better than Mich. The format was layed out. 2 high safeties, light box and play zone, man and zone/man. 3rd and 7 and you run a 0 blitz and leave Smith 1on 1. That was dumb.😂😂 Oregon Tenn Texas ND all ran what dont work against OSU. Congrats to OSU as a mich fan.
Denbrock had a bad game also wasn't that happy with him all yr.how do you not use your best player
Notre Dame couldn't run the ball for most of the game. If I was calling the game I would have tried a few screen passes to Jeremiah Love. They never threw the ball once to him.
If you say it out at this point you know that these people are just being real stupid, you know what I mean to put it plainly. You know, d*** well from looking at that team and watching that fight that this is a way different type of tea. M, most of the national media pundits even said that so let's stop it. You know what I mean, these kids? This is a different brand of kids and coaching as well. And they're gonna be tasked with coming out from the jump next year. With all the players healthy more more than likely for good recruits. Just showed up in tidal areas date.They gonna be fine , man
notre dame was way to slow , ohio state was too fast and out performed notre dame
