Mike and Brett provide their reaction to Notre Dame's shocking College Football Playoff snub. https://t.co/cPKVzVipYJ

Very proud of you Riley!

Did Lane Kiffin leave a real title contender for a hypothetical one?

This Alabama team getting in over a Notre Dame squad that was an actual national title contender (the analytics and predictive models all show this) is a crime against humanity.

IT. JUST. MEANS. LESS.

To be clear, I think I speak for all ND fans when I say: The issue was NEVER w Miami getting in. It was ALWAYS w Bama. Watching this Rose Bowl (🤢)… I hope folks can emphasize why we “took our ball and went home” re: the Pop Tart Bowl Beyond impressed w/ IU. Envious even.

I can think of another team from Indiana that’s also better than Alabama.

I’m very disappointed the bands can’t be on the field due to wet conditions at the rose bowl. It’d be epic to see what shape the Alabama band did for fat bottom girls.

Herbstreit: “He got annihilated in the Iron Bowl” Guess someone forgot to tell the Commitee

Alabama is the least Alabama of all the teams remaining

Called it

This Miami performance is further proof ND belongs (and so does Miami). Alabama struggling down the stretch against a down SEC is looking more laughable after this now season. It just means LESS!

Lou Holtz is definitely getting ready to talk a lot of trash

Former Notre Dame quarterback Riley Leonard will make the first start of his NFL career in Week 18, per @JFowlerESPN and @HolderStephen. Leonard is replacing Philip Rivers with the Indianapolis Colts having been eliminated from playoff contention. Time to look to the future.

Finally back home from holiday travel and found one last Xmas present 🎄 🎁 @kates4cubbies

Classic ESPN. No news blast about Marcus Freeman. But of course I received one on Lincoln Riley talking trash about ND.

Head coach Marcus Freeman announced that he’s staying at Notre Dame in 2026. NFL teams were interested in him.

That feeling when MF says we running it back ☘️

Great move by Freeman and ND to shutdown the NFL talk so quickly. I remember the Brian Kelly to NFL talk after the national championship game run lingered for a long time (Kelly made no secret he was actively interested). It really killed our momentum in recruiting & retention.
