Fired up to announce I’ve joined the

National Team!
Extremely grateful for the last 11 years on the ND beat, and even before that covering UNC & FSU.
This has been a special, unforgettable time in my life. Thank you ☘️
This video is insane.
So much love from the community for former

45 minutes straight with cars driving by to congratulate him.

If you don’t see a difference between this
#NotreDame
football team and the direction of the program now compared to how it’s been over the years, I really don’t know what else to tell you. This group isn’t that far off. A few more playmakers can change everything quickly.
Brock Bowers is a DUDE. He’s special.
…But not giving
#NotreDame
tight end Michael Mayer ‘The Mackey Award’ is kind of a joke.
He’s the best tight end in college football and that award heading elsewhere isn’t going to tell me any different:

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.
Indiana’s “Mr. Football”, in my opinion for now, finishes the year with 242 carries for 1,784 yards and 26 TDs, as well as 150 tackles, 5 sacks, 2 INTs, 4 pass breakups, 4 forced fumbles, a fumble recovery and a blocked punt.
Tip of the cap,

Next up,

Seems like even the refs are getting caught up staring at the magician himself Caleb Williams at times... Missing a few things along the offensive line. Just sayin'.

Just my opinion:
It’s time for Tyler Buchner as QB1.
I think he’s going to quiet a lot of critics next year when he actually gets the reps, when the game plan is built around him, and
#NotreDame
is going to win a lot of games with him running the show.
It's surely not the majority of people, but I can't believe people are questioning Marcus Freeman's decision to bring in Sam Hartman simply b/c Tyler Buchner left.
Hartman gives
#ND
a shot at the playoffs & a Natty.
It's simple. That's what u want.
Freeman made the right call.
It's time for Crystal Ball No. 8, the final one of the day.
I'm tossing in a prediction for
#NotreDame
to land one of the nation's premier defensive linemen and overall prospects in the class of 2024, five-star Justin Scott.
VIP Scoop:
@247Sports
I don’t care who you are or what team do you cheer for, this has to give you chills and fire you up.
He just landed a dream job and not only does it change his life, but it will positively impact so many people.

Penalizing this 11-1
#NotreDame
team, which has been outstanding during the 2nd half of the year, because a head coach left before the season ended, would be one of the most ridiculous things I’ve seen in this sport. If two of five ahead of them lose, the Irish deserve to be in.
This game right here should force the NFL to go to the college football overtime rules.
No dog in this fight, but the Bills not getting the chance to tie right now flat-out sucks.

#NotreDame
’s Tommy Rees is one of the most impressive coaches. From an evaluation, recruiting, coaching and relationship standpoint, he’s the real deal. Freeman and Rees would kill it as head coach and offensive coordinator (with a well-deserved pay raise).
If you do make the Freeman hire priority number one would be securing 29 year old Tommy Rees and giving him even more control over the offense. He will have options
So, if mutual opponents matter, in the end
#NotreDame
had a more convincing, dominant win over UNC than A&M and lost to Alabama by less points than the Aggies.
One of the most talented, productive high school football players is ready to announce his college commitment.

I’ve heard from a few people within the Notre Dame program tonight that are RAVING about this Duke team & Mike Elko.
Obviously don’t know the status of Riley Leonard and what it means for the rest of the year, but this Duke team is real.
ND couldn’t have more respect for them.
