It legitimately felt like Lee Corso had a 100% approval rating from viewers, which is basically impossible to do as a prominent sports media tv figure, but he’s that likable and authentic. What a career.

Notre Dame had the athleticism, strength and toughness on par with the sport’s 2020s standard-setter and punched them in the mouth. Gotta be beyond refreshing for Irish fans after ND’s prior CFP games and the 2012 BCS title. Marcus Freeman and staff built an impressive roster.

I cannot imagine Notre Dame has had too many safety tandems with noses for the ball and takeaways like Adon Shuler and Xavier Watts have.

This drawn-out selection show format was tragically bad and deserved a leak like this. Fire it into the sun, please.
One minute before the selection show started, @Brett_McMurphy reported that SMU was in the playoff and Alabama was out, citing anonymous sources. It is believed to be the first leak of any bracket information in the 11-year history of the CFP.

Woj’s announcement will make a lot of people learn what -30- means, which warms my journalism nerd heart.

It would seem like Jeremiyah Love is more than ready to put Notre Dame’s offense on his shoulders for the rest of the year.

I will accept nothing other than the Whataburger 12 Conference.
In a presentation to league leaders in May, Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark proposed selling the naming rights to the conference in what would be one of the most lucrative & unique sponsorship deals in college sports history, sources tell @YahooSports.

I asked Michael Mayer about Joe Alt roughly 5 starts into Alt’s Notre Dame career: “If he gets his hands on you, you’re screwed. That dude came in here and worked his tail off.”. Felt like a totally linear path from freshman surprise to top-10 pick:

The former three-star recruit who spent less than a year as a high school lineman has stabilized an important spot.

If anybody else out there is offering $85 million to not work for them, just tell me where to sign.
There will be $85M in dead money for the #Broncos due to Russell Wilson. Will need to be a post June 1 cut.
