First off I wanna say, we really have a game on USA Network this season. That's all.
Anyways, hi everyone! Good to be back, we got football in 9 days! I think this is a great season opener (definitely not as good as Navy in Ireland would have been), but nonetheless its a good warm up game...
No surprise, wish him nothing but the best of luck. I think ND will be fine, Book gets another year, which means another year for our backup QBs to develop.
Notre Dame has had a problem with QB's transferring though...
Honestly I would say 11-1 or 12-0 I think next year's team could beat Clemson. I'm personally glad we have Book again next year. We do take a hit on our WR and Defensive Core, but overall I think we should be a better team.
Just wanted to let y'all know Happy Holidays :suds:
2019 was an interesting year for the Notre Dame forum on the Hoop. Lots of posters we haven't seen post in a LONG time, posters with conflicting opinions (a lot of those :lol:), and overall a good season (besides the Michigan game) for Notre...
Notre Dame has decided to go different paths, Chip Long will NOT coach the Bowl Game either. Interesting to see who replaces him, kinda hope it's not Tommy Rees.

I actually don't mind this matchup as much as others, I mean sure a 10-2 ND team it would have been nice to play in a bigger bowl game but its the 1st matchup between Iowa State and Notre Dame so that's always fun.
I'm sure of it, having a Florida vs. Notre Dame matchup I'm sure would have generated more buzz than a team who got flat out embarrassed in the ACC Championship and got beat by ND.
All I gotta say is I miss when Notre Dame played Big 10 teams, we play Wisconsin and Purdue coming up (finally), but I really miss the good old Traditional Purdue, Michigan, Michigan State, etc
Honestly Notre Dame should join a conference, but not until they absolutely need to. And I'm pretty sure that's exactly what they're doing. We already have a deal with the ACC to play 5-6 games/season with them (unfortunately).
So I get that we aren't in the ACC so Virginia *technically* had the right to get in the Orange Bowl over us, but c'mon we actually have to face a 7-5 Iowa State team in the Camping World Bowl even though we finished 10-2, I'm pretty disappointed.
