☘️ STATE OF THE FANBASE ☘️
We polled Notre Dame fans on 3 upcoming decisions that the university must make.
Fighting Irish fans overwhelming voted for:
✅ Remaining independent in football
✅ A media rights deal with NBC
✅ A uniform/apparel deal with Nike

We’ve tweeted about how Hartman is a Notre Dame Man and part of the family.
But, man, is that ever true of Audric and so many of these boys. He bleeds blue and gold and we can see it. Love Estime. ☘️
The transfer portal is the easy way out.
A 3 ⭐️ recruit that changed positions in order to get playing time and spent 3 years on the bench/as a sub ended up developing into a Nagurski winning DB with an NFL future, and a degree from one of the most prestigious universities.
I cannot tell you how incredible it is to see

His time at ND was not easy.
It’s been very challenging.
Most run from adversity, but he stayed and faced it.
Time and time again.
X, you are all that is right about this sport and in life.
How did this not make the movie!?
What a beautiful scene to explain Notre Dame and what it stands for. Humanizes us, too.
This is a part of why the “Subway Alum” (fans who didn’t go to ND) exists and why they are so important.
When your staff refuses to go to LSU with you, and then your long time assistant coach leaves you to go back to Notre Dame after posting the
#1
offense in the country and producing a Heisman winner.
Is anyone actually mad at this? Pyne missed multiple open receivers and looked like he didnt know how to throw a football on the opening drive.
Rees said what he had to say.
Congrats to Louisville. They were the better team and deserve this win.
We deserved to win 2 weeks ago but football isn't fair.
This team looked exhausted from the start. It's hard to be everyone's Super Bowl - but this is Notre Dame, comes with territory.
On Freeman tonight.
Well, you tried Ohio State. You can’t punt against Bama.
Mind you, when Notre Dame was down 14 at halftime, the CFB world said we should never play in the playoff again.
Ohio State is down 18.
It’s almost like there’s a narrative against us that doesn’t apply to others. 🤷♂️
Just a reminder that these are college athletes so don’t be sending them hate or abuse. Stand by our guys.
Life is bigger than a football game. Keep your heads high. We had a great season and we’ll work towards a better one.

Sam has come in and embraced every aspect of ND. He passionately sings the Alma Mater, he is the voice of the program, and he basks in our historic rivalries.
The only downside is we just have him for one season. We have 7 games left with him, Irish Nation - enjoy every second.
Sam Hartman rushing through his interview to be with the team for the Alma Mater made me smile so much.
He’s a special guy. He may just be a 1 year player at Notre Dame but he’s a Notre Dame man. He is family.

I don’t know about you, but give me a College Football landscape dominated by Notre Dame, USC, Miami, Nebraska, etc again.
I’m sick of Alabama, Ohio State, Clemson, & the SEC.
Alabama was a mid-tier blue blood before Saban took over. Time they fall back to that.

There is a lot of smoke right now that Notre Dame is about to flip a highly ranked 2023 QB.
This is the missing piece in what is a truly elite recruiting class for Marcus Freeman's Fighting Irish.
Huge news, if true.

Everyone at Notre Dame should be forced to answer why Brandon Aubrey wasn’t on the football team.
The NFL rookie is already the best kicker in the league and he was here playing SOCCER.
Kyren Williams, Kyle Hamilton, and Cole Kmet.
Three young players who broke out and emerged as absolute stars in the NFL this season.
I think they all have one thing in common too…

After two seasons of Marcus Freeman we’ve seen improvements in:
- Culture
- Alumni & fan excitement
- Support between sports
- Recruiting
- Performances in big games
- Learning from mistakes
- Overall record
We’ve also seen areas of concern: personnel, decisions, etc.
1/2
“You have an evening to play, a lifetime to remember,". "But I want you to do one thing: You save Dabo Swinney's ass for me!" - Marcus Freeman in the locker room.
Is it just me or does this coaching staff feel complete? Feels like we’ve assembled the best staff in a generation.
HC: M. Freeman
OC/TE: M. Denbrock
QB: G. Guidugli
RB: D. McCullough
WR: M. Brown
OL: J. Rudolph
DC/LB: Al Golden
DL: Al Washington
CB: M. Mickens
S: C. O’Leary
9-3 regular season, a 1 win-improvement from 2022 with a tougher schedule. Beat the rivals.
It’s progress. A bit disappointing - especially because we know how good this team really is.
10-11 regular season wins are a must next year with a less tough schedule.
Go Irish. ☘️
BREAKING: Notre Dame lands 4 Star Athlete Brandyn Hillman (VA, 2023). Said that the Irish were a top program with “million dollar academics”
Congratulations to Brandyn!

2 Crystal Ball picks are in for Notre Dame to land 2023 4⭐️ CB Justyn Rhett.
Furthermore, 1 Crystal Ball is in for the Irish to win back '22 4⭐️ DB Devin Moore, who de-committed a few days ago.
Also, '23 DE Keon Keeley is now a 247 COMPOSITE 5 ⭐️! 🥳

Ryan Clark, Ike Taylor, and Jerome Bettis’ kids will be playing for ND next season and the Steelers fan in me is so pumped about this strange but welcome intersection
This is the best I’ve felt about Notre Dame football in my lifetime.
Freeman is the right coach. He’s got the right staff. They are recruiting and playing the off-season at an elite level.
I can’t wait. The Fighting Irish will one day reclaim their rightful throne at the top.
Again - the geniuses that decided to allow the transfer portal to open *before* bowl season have the functioning IQ of a dung beetle
It’s literally ruined the sport.
Ryan Day got lucky as balls after being outplayed and took the opportunity to go after a 300 year old man on national television.
He deserves this. Lou is a legend in this sport and gets the last laugh.
The Notre Dame - usc rivalry has featured in the Godfather Pt. 2, Die Hard, and the Sopranos.
Find me another college football rivalry with even a shred of the same pop culture influence as the Fighting Irish & trojans.

Marcus Freeman was on Dan Patrick and talked about his recruitment as a player.
Marcus said it came down to Ohio State & Notre Dame, but he grew up an OSU fan and went there.
Then he said: “I told our AD, I don’t want to make the same mistake twice.”
Cry Buckeyes. He’s Irish.

BREAKING NEWS: officials say that the ND game vs usc this weekend will be held without ice for the gatorade coolers.
A representative from Southern cal in a release stated that the individual with the recipe graduated.
The Sun Bowl is the greatest thing ever now, and our fans better travel to El Paso.
Being a Notre Dame fan on Twitter, you sometimes feel like everyone hates you. So it’s very refreshing to see this.
Also, folks, it’s a ranked bowl matchup! And a chance to be .500 in bowls. ☘️
Here's the exact moment the
@TonyTheTigerSB
committee announced that Notre Dame was coming to El Paso to play Oregon State.
Then, executive director Bernie Olivas was emotional talking about the Fighting Irish coming to town.
We do not tolerate any Nebraska slander here. The Mighty Cornhuskers satisfy every statistical requirement for being a blue blood.
I would argue they rank higher all-time than Texas. Nebraska and their fans are important to this sport.

FSU coach Mike Norvell releases a statement, saying he’s “disgusted” and “infuriated” by CFP decision: “What is the point of playing games? Do you tell players it is okay to quit if someone goes down? Do you not play a senior on Senior Day for fear of injury? Where is the…
I would like to remind everyone that Notre Dame is the only program ever to have their own national TV deal.
Additionally:
- Biggest apparel deal
- Most expensive ticket
- Only national program
- By far the most presence in pop culture
- Only school on CFP Board

Look, I love Angeli & Minchey, and I want them to develop into absolute studs.
But if you’re telling me I get 3,700 total yards of offense and 33 TD’s to 6 INT’s out of a ND QB next year I’m signing up for that ASAP.
Here is what I can’t fathom about ND slow-playing this:
The recruits want Freeman.
The players want Freeman.
The fans want Freeman.
Give the people what they want.
If he’s successful, everyone is thrilled.
If he fails, there’s no blame. We got what we wanted.
I’m just so tired of negativity in this fanbase. There are 5 games left this season, we should be enjoying every second.
Go Irish. Beat Clemson, Navy, BC and usc.
The Notre Dame-USC rivalry has produced the most
• National Championships
• Heismans
• Draft picks
• All-Americans
• NFL & CFB HOFers
It’s the true national rivalry. It’s the most historic, and it has historically had the biggest implications of ANY game. 🐐

Jason Garrett might not be a good announcer, or a football coach, but he sure does respect and appreciate Notre Dame.
Unlike other guys NBC has had in the booth, Garrett likes ND.
Can’t imagine we’ll see him and Jac next season.
Zack Martin appreciation tweet.
He was one of the best OL I’ve seen in college when he played for our beloved Notre Dame Fighting Irish.
He has been arguably the best right guard in NFL history. In 9 seasons, 6x first team All-Pro, 2x second team All-Pro. 8x Pro Bowler. 🐐

Drew embarrasses Notre Dame fans by being a colossal piece of shit.
