In reply to Aaron Koproski. Sirius XM Catholic Talk show channel already airs the local ND radio broadcast. I agree! If UTx can do it, we could smash it!

We should be 9-1 going into Nov. 11. At Miami will determine if ND is top 5 material. That game is huge.

In reply to Avon Domer. I can't wait for the day that ND gets away from NBC!!!

In reply to Aaron Koproski.

I wholeheartedly agree. I am so sick of hearing Flutie’s negative slant against anything related to ND. I used to love Flutie. Now, not so much. As if it would kill him to say anything positive about ND. Even when he does, it still has a negative feel to it. The late hit on Wimbush, did anyone else catch “wasn’t an obvious penalty” comment? BULLSHIT, FLUTIE… it was DEFINITELY obvious that’s why it was FLAGGED.

I was not at all impressed by Gus Ragland or Miami. I found it laughable that they still considered Ragland “has kept them in the game, well maybe not in scoring margin”… Um, at 38-14 your team is down by 4 scores… NOWHERE NEAR IN THE GAME. And they never were even when the score was 14-7. They were over-matched, out-coached, outplayed, and overwhelmed from the time the ball was kicked to ND. I wasn’t at all impressed with anything other than the woodshed ass beating our men put on their boys (yes, Ragland, you were a boy tossing the ball among men).

In reply to Declan. Seriously? Wow. You must be a pessimist. Remember the seasons where a Miami Redhawks team would have come to South Bend and won??

In reply to Tom Nash. I've loved the Cubs since the days of Jack Brickhouse (Hey hey!), mostly because Cub fans have a sense of humor. I see that you are an exception to this rule. Lighten up.

I am glad to see I am not the only one who is cautiously-optimistic (read: “hesitant”) to over-react and anoint this team as ready top be one of the final four.

Yes, it is mathematically possibly for the Irish to go 11-1; however, it is just as possible that they finish at 7-5.

The run game and defense against the run are outstanding right now; however, they were not against the only top-5 team they’ve faced this year. How these units do against the trojans, wolf pack, hurricanes and cardinal are going to really dictate the trajectory of the team.

Last week in this space, I wondered if Michigan State would have won if they hadn’t been so sloppy, and thought we couldn’t take credit for those turnovers. I take that back – this is a trend. Averaging 2 turnovers per game is not a fluke; that’s just what our D is doing this year. Sparty’s sloppiness might have helped out a bit a week ago, but I’m feeling better about giving more credit to our defense, especially our coaching staff.

Does anyone else think this feels a bit like the 2002 season with a better running game?

In reply to AlumniDawg97. I feel ya, I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop too. I never take anything for granted and never assume any lead is safe.

In reply to Kayo. FYI The NBC deal with Notre Dame Football started in 1991 and is booked through the 2025 season.
