We may never see an influence like him again in this sport

My guess he is not done and when an independent body takes over CFB to get everything under control I think he will be involved and would not doubt in a leadership role.

puppy fan angry and taken it harder than OU fans :lol:

Grubb has to go after the season. Miller dances to much and 99% will not gain yardage. Miller is great at protection but he runs the ball like he weighs 110lbs. :banghead:

I hope he has the balls to pull Simpson if it continues down this path

Game is far from over. Have faith

Just play to our ability for 4 quarters and the game will not be close

On my phone unless they have a TV t my wife's Christmas party, at least the first half :banghead:

I hope Pruitt does not end up with Kiffin :banghead:

You want to argue about how he got there have at it but that was the depth chart in 2013.

---

Except you may want to research a little better because the date of that article which was released was after fall camp. He injured his knee in fall camp prior to that date which required knee surgery.

Also did you even read that article? If so, were you curious that Kamara was not even listed in the depth chart? The one you are claiming he is on and supporting your argument. Did you question why it did not include K Drake? I assume you were watching Alabama football in 2013.

And in regard to off the field issues which kept him from the field.

Saban prohibited Kamara from practicing with the team for one game because of “behavior reasons.” He was suspended for Alabama’s bowl game. Around that time, he also was arrested for driving with a suspended license. Alabama released Kamara from his scholarship.

Nice try though. :cheers:

Although in 1992 LSU was ranked #11 nationally in overall win %, and yet today they are ranked #13.

In the 90s how many NCs did LSU win or even compete for? How many other programs in the country have had the success they have had. This century they seem to have sustain success over the last several decades.

what a fricking joke

This is how the whole country sees ND right now. Your arrogance is either going to force you to join a conference, or the ND football team will become a g6 team.

And before you respond about some BS recruiting ranking or your TV money it will become irrelevant as well.

The 10–2 Irish didn’t rank among the top 10 most-watched college football teams this year, according to Nielsen. In fact, their average viewing audience of 3,925,000 viewers ranked them No. 15, behind Florida, Ole Miss, South Carolina, and Florida State. And ahead of Vanderbilt, Missouri, Penn State, and Miami.

The most-watched team was Alabama, averaging more than double Notre Dame’s viewers at 8,493,000, followed by Texas, Georgia, Ohio State, and Oklahoma. Overall, SEC teams accounted for 4 of the 5 most-watched schools—and 8 of the top 10.

According to Nielsen, Notre Dame played in only one of the top 20 most-watched college football games this year. It drew a season-high 10.8 million viewers vs. Miami for its season opener on Aug. 31. Ironically, the committee pointed to that 27–24 road loss to the Hurricanes as the reason the Irish didn’t make the playoff cut. Even Notre Dame’s 34–23 victory over rival USC on Oct. 18 didn’t pop a big number. NBC’s broadcast averaged 2,998,000 viewers, trailing three SEC matchups on ABC: 6,046,000 for Mississippi-Georgia; 4,913,000 for Alabama-Tennessee; and 3,875,000 for LSU-Vanderbilt.

Last season, Notre Dame had a magical season, going 14–2 before falling to Ohio State in the national championship game. The telecast’s average viewership of 22.1 million viewers on ABC made it the CFP’s most-watched game of the season. But it was still down 12% from Michigan’s win over Washington in 2024. And the third-lowest audience among all 11 CFP title games.

The money is based off TV ratings which continue to drop. NBC is not a major player in CFB like the other networks. You have ADs now suggesting to no longer schedule ND if they are not in a conference. If ND is left to schedule only g6 teams those ratings will continue to drop. When they drop so does the money. If ND is not in the playoffs the recruits will no longer come as well.

Maybe you are new to CFB or just as arrogant as so many ND fans to see that those gold helmets no longer have the ROI they once did and everyone outside of ND could care less if you ever make the playoffs.
