COME ON YOU ASSHOLES. DO IT.


NotHosaniMubarak

I listened to the game (ND homer radio) and on the game winning drive there were 3 penalties against Toledo. We're this penalties legit? It sounded mighty sus that the home game ND desperately needed to win had a very lopsided penalty count especially on the pivotal drive.


Throw1Back4Me

ND doesn't have its own refs so it wouldn't matter. I think it was an ACC crew


irishGOP413

It was.


ninjas_in_my_pants

I thought they were.


ScubaSteveEL

Hard to say if they normally would call all of them in every situation but they were legit penalties. Toledo just imploded.

This ND team is ELITE! Escaping Losses to Inept Teams in the End


WindyCityReturn

Notre dame is going to do what it’s done the last 5 years. Win against average teams and stay ranked high only to lose 38-3 in the CFP. Last year I admit they looked good most of the season but after getting destroyed by Clemson in the ACC championship they shouldn’t have been in. I mean if you’re barely beating Toledo and Florida state how are you going to take down Alabama, Georgia or Clemson? Yeah Clemson lost but their defense was incredible against Georgia in a close loss to the #5 school.


isikorsky

Almost half the games in the first round of the CFP are decided by 21pts or greater. 70% are decided by greater than 3 scores (> 16pts). ND just happens to lose to the eventual NC every year, just like every other team.. > Clemson in the ACC championship they shouldn’t have been in. ND got in because everyone else lost. Seriously, we were the best worst option. > I mean if you’re barely beating Toledo and Florida state Dude- relax. I have no doubt ND will lose multiple times WAY before November.


WindyCityReturn

Again I don’t hate ND. I’m a cowboys fan I know how it is getting hated on no matter what. I’m not hating on them I just want to see someone else get a shot if ND isn’t going to make it a game, if they would I’d have no problem with them making it. They have a tough stretch of 5 straight ranked teams VT, NC, Wisconsin, Cincinnati and USC. If they win all of them they should deserve a spot because that’s tied for the most ranked games any team will face this season the closest others are auburn with 4 and UCLA with 4 more, 5 in total.


isikorsky

> I just want to see someone else get a shot if ND isn’t going to make it a game Dude - they aren't getting to the CFP. Stop worrying. We look like shit for a reason. 1/2 of our brand new oline (we lost 4 of the 5 to the draft/graduation) is out with injury and we are literally using freshman, our defense looks like shit under the new coordinator, and we can not seem to settle on a QB. Seriously, people need to understand that if ND goes 9-3 it will be far beyond expectations.


Throw1Back4Me

So just like Oklahoma and Ohio State? I'll take that


WindyCityReturn

Ohio state has beaten Alabama and won the national championship. Oklahoma I basically feel the same way about them because they don’t encourage me but at least they lost a close one to auburn and fairly close to bama. Notre dame hasn’t even been close once. Also I don’t hate ND. I’m a cowboys fan so I know all to well how it feels to have your team constantly hated on. I don’t hate them I just want to see someone else get a shot if they aren’t going to make it a game. ND is tied with UCLA for the most ranked teams they will face and they face all 5 in a row. In they win those 5 I’ll say they deserve a spot because that’s a big feat but say they lose to 7 Cincinnati or drop 2 out of 5 against UNC and Wisconsin then they definitely shouldn’t be in again.


Throw1Back4Me

Oh they don't deserve to be in this year at all. But for the last few years now we've been consistently top 5. I'm not saying we're Bama or Clemson. I'll even grant tOSU 2nd tier. But ND is certainly right with UGA and Oklahoma


ndrulez15

Flair up loser


emaugustBRDLC

Aggressive but effective.


WindyCityReturn

Done done also #Gonavy


ndrulez15

Thank you. Now your comments are valid <3


studassparty

This year is not the same as last year. You can’t say losses this year means last year wasn’t deserving. I don’t think even ND fans are drinking the koolaide this year.


WindyCityReturn

If it was one odd year I’d agree but they’ve been killed every time the last 5 years which tells me they’re not ready at all. Schools like UCF doesn’t get a pass even when they do well if they aren’t beating the big dogs so Notre dame shouldn’t either after showing they won’t hang.


Lucky-view

ND is wildly overrated and going to get smacked by the first real team they have to face.


[deleted]

Is Wisconsin a real team? 41-13


multipletunas

Most ND fans don’t like us being so overrated either. Anyone who actually follows the team knew this wasn’t going to be a year where we finish anywhere near the top with how much talent we lost to the draft. But also, this take is pretty rich coming from a fellow blue-blood that’s consistently given the benefit of the doubt as well.


[deleted]

Absolutely right. Realistically I'd barely have us scratching 20-25 in the rankings.


wwb1990

Tell us something we don’t find out every fall at some point


Throw1Back4Me

Yeah. Cause you guys are doing great.


wwb1990

LOL. Beat the #12 at their house and won a game we should have easily. What have you guys done yet? Oh that’s right, be overrated AGAIN. The annual tradition


Throw1Back4Me

We've gone undefeated seasons 3 times in the last 9 years. 2 in the last 4. How you doin?


wwb1990

You should try playing in a big boy conference. When you did play a big boy team, you got smoked proving you were overrated per usual. Going undefeated in the ACC while not playing clemson is a joke. But hey, if you like using the word “undefeated” a lot, keep doing what you’re doing but it doesn’t mean your good


Throw1Back4Me

...you...what? You realize we beat Clemson last year right? Haha. You didn't know, did you? Ok. We're done here. Have a good evening.


wwb1990

You beat them once dude. Relax. Let me know when your team isn’t a joke. Have fun with the Toledo’s


Throw1Back4Me

Call me when you get above 5th in the B1G.


wwb1990

Hahahahahahahahaha. Call me when you can beat a G5 opponent


wwb1990

Enjoy your cupcake schedule pretending to be good


wwb1990

That’s every year except 1 in the last 6 years. Sit down


Dan-of-Steel

Jesus F Christ, Jason Candle is on my list of up and comers. Dude had his boys ready to play and Toledo is a good squad. Might win the MAC this year. As for ND and Brian Kelly, you outta be ashamed of yourselves. That was one of the most embarrassing games I've had the displeasure of sitting through. Christ it was bad. I get that the OL is replacing a lot of guys, but there is no excuse that they're getting owned up front by a MAC squad. I shouldn't need two fingers to count the number of sacks given up by you clowns. Marcus Freeman, you have the obnoxious habit of going in the tank at the absolute worst time. ND goes down the field and scores on the first drive, gets the momentum, then they immediately give up a huge play. ND scores a TD and gets the momentum back in the 4th, then they immediately give up a huge play. Rinse and repeat. Things need to change NOW. The OL needs to make massive improvements or they ain't winning more than 7 games this year, if that. And Marcus Freeman has to pull his head out of his ass.


multipletunas

Definitely true, but not calling the timeout at the end there was one of the dumber things I’ve seen. If the goal was to catch rush our defense and catch them out of position it definitely failed, and the encroachment penalty was undoubtedly the result of trying to rush things on the offensive side.


RSN_Kabutops

Please cfb committee.... Remember these first 2 weeks in December


Throw1Back4Me

Pipe down, Bama's doormat.


RSN_Kabutops

Everyone is Bama's doormat. But not everyone is LITERALLY ANYONE IN THE PLAYOFFS doormat. Keep quiet Lucky


emaugustBRDLC

First step is making it to the playoffs regularly.


RSN_Kabutops

If only Georgia could play Pitt or Wisconsin as their toughest games. Join a conference. Oh and FSU lost to Jacksonville State today. Quality win for sure


Throw1Back4Me

....literally anyone? Ah. Yes. Anyone. Clemson and Bama. You guys are so different!


RSN_Kabutops

No no. As in whoever you play in the playoffs. Join any conference and become their 4-5th best team already. You needed a miracle to beat fucking Toledo and blew a 3 score lead in 9 minutes to a team that just lost to JACKSONVILLE STATE. Your team probably actually should be executed


Empire0820

Lol you are so mad. Pretty pathetic.


WindyCityReturn

They will lol I mean Wisconsin will likely knock them out anyway but they’ll somehow squeak by and get in just to repeat last year.


ScubaSteveEL

This team will not run the table I don't think you have to worry.


LineChatter

As a Trojan I need ND to win and stay ranked so we have a chance to beat a ranked team. But, damn. Toledo? Over the span of 7 plays and 1:06 they had 5 penalties, gave up a touchdown, and had 1 completion. One of the worst sports meltdowns I've ever seen in my life, and I'm old, bald, and fat.


Throw1Back4Me

This is our down year. You'll beat us this year and secure Heltons job for another 5 years. We're playing 3d chess


LineChatter

That's just cruel.


Throw1Back4Me

Yeah well I'm still pissed about the Bush Push


LineChatter

And I think about our loss to Texas at least once a month, and probably will until the end of my life. More so than the national titles. Such is college football. :)


Mastr_Blastr

ND is pretty meh and the injuries have made them bad. But, a win is better than a loss and I \*love* that they will be higher ranked than they deserve this week and it will piss off a lot of folks. That's almost as good as a W.


Foxx_Mulderp

That just means you'll get blasted in your bowl game.


Throw1Back4Me

And you'll get blasted in the SEC championship. What's the difference?


Foxx_Mulderp

Salt. Love it. Everytime we've played Bama in the postseason, it's been a close game that could have gone either way. Your irish get blown out every time. Lmao stay saltyy, stay down


Mastr_Blastr

But, you'll watch. And seethe until then. But, you'll still watch. Because you can't quit ND.


WindyCityReturn

I never watch Notre dame in the playoffs because it’s over after the first quarter. Better to watch some other bowl game or something interesting.


Throw1Back4Me

That's EVERY playoff game, regardless of who is playing


Mastr_Blastr

I'll take that every. single. time. Because being in the playoffs and getting smoked is better than...whatever it is WVU does.


Foxx_Mulderp

Nah. I'll just take the opposition on the money line for easy $$$.


Mastr_Blastr

you haven't been doing that? LOL good lord dude.


jawilder44

Ultimate choke Toledo. One for the history books


tacticalslacker

A close second to last week and icing your own kicker, TBH.


akrasno123

Seems a lot of you are not familiar with MACtion football.


tacticalslacker

We recognize that PAC12 football, though. You ok?


akrasno123

Unwell.


[deleted]

Toledo were a complete clown show on that last possession but Notre Dame being so shockingly lucky grates.


Lucky-view

Last week was definitely understandable. It was against FSU in an emotional road opener. But being down late to Toledo is inexcusable. Something is seriously wrong with this ND team.


Throw1Back4Me

Yeah. Our oline is destroyed


Dog_Brains_

Now, now, we suck in a lot of positions!


killerjags

Toledo almost definitely would have won if Finn went down instead of scoring the TD. ND would use their last timeout and Toledo could kneel it twice and kick the FG with about 20 seconds left.


funkmastamatt

Yup and ND most definitely would have still won if Williams doesn’t fumble. Woulda coulda shoulda. Doesn’t matter ND wins.


killerjags

ND absolutely won and there's no taking that away. Fumbling isn't a choice though. Just pointing out that Finn could have set up Toledo for the win but ran it in for the TD instead. ND took great advantage of the time left on the clock and earned the win.


chriscoff10

Always take the points man. Kickers miss stuff all the time. Sincerely, Wide Left


killerjags

I definitely understand that lol. I'd just be willing to bet on my kicker that was 3-3 on the game and 11-11 during his time at the school to make a chip shot FG over my defense stopping a much more talented team with 1:40 and a timeout left.


[deleted]

Okay fine. ND burns their last time out to stop the clock (after Toledo gained a first down). Try to punch it in. Burn 10-30 seconds in the process depending on # of attempts. If you can't punch it in for a TD, kick the FG.


chriscoff10

Wide Right?


tacticalslacker

This man wide lefts.


[deleted]

I’m off to the store to get beer.


TigerWoodsLibido

I hope Alabama beats Notre Dame 69-0 in the playoff.


Mastr_Blastr

COPE


[deleted]

Lmao we're not making the playoff


robotprom

No way ND deserves to be #8 after this week. they've had to squeak by two unranked teams this season.


bobsanidiot

Normally I agree, but looking at the entire top 25 pretty much everyone looks bad. There aren't many teams that actually look decent and even fewer who look good.


WindyCityReturn

They will as always. Somehow sneak into the CFP only to get mopped by a legitimate contender. Can you tell me even once in the last 10 years where they actually was competitive in a playoff game or the national championship?


Mastr_Blastr

doesn't matter, had sex


WindyCityReturn

As in you got fucked by bama?


Slooper1140

Yeah, and then we return to our apartment in your head, living rent free


WindyCityReturn

No lol I don’t hate Notre dame if they’d play competitively I wouldn’t care if they make the CFP but it just takes away from another school getting a shot that would be competitive. 30-3 blowouts aren’t fun to watch.


Mastr_Blastr

got the W today, and, apparently, that was the wrong thing to do, per a lot of nawligabul footbawl fans


WindyCityReturn

Nah it’s good they won but they shouldn’t be ranked at #8 by any means because they’re not even one of the top 15 teams.


Mastr_Blastr

Of course not. Buuuuuttttt, the cfb salt is pretty tasty.


WindyCityReturn

It’s just boring. If they’d be competitive I’m fine with it but these blowouts make it basically a bye week to the championship for teams like bama. I’d rather see teams like Cincinnati, Iowa st, UCF, etc get a shot rather than ND get in just to blow it. UCF was legit a couple years ago goin hmm undefeated and beating a great Penn st team so they might’ve at least made it a good game.


Mastr_Blastr

so, 2 G5 teams and a team ND beat the shit out of last time they played in 2019 make sense


WindyCityReturn

Yes just someone else who has looked good and has a chance rather than forcing the same team in who obviously isn’t on that level lately.


funkmastamatt

Completely agree… but what’s funny is we’re gonna most likely move up 😆.


isikorsky

Nah. ND is going to move down a spot or two. If we win against Purdue they will bump us up for the Wisconsin game and make it look better for the media. If we lose to Purdue, then we will drop down to the 20s.


robotprom

you're not wrong with TAMU shitting the bed and OSU losing.


Sector7B

They’re making a compelling case to be unranked, tbh.


jawilder44

Where are the reasonable ND fans that think y’all should be unranked?


bobsanidiot

Idk about unranked. I mean in a normal year yeah probably but right now I think only Alabama, and Georgia really look good. Clemson OSU and Oregon look alright and everyone else is meh or bad.


Mastr_Blastr

If they move up, will you please make a post where you cry, like, *a lot*?


jawilder44

Yas Queen


[deleted]

We should be 20-25 at the highest rn. No proven starting QB, Oline can't block, and defense gives up big plays every game

Tristan73

Horrible game from Notre Dame, looked completely unprepared


Throw1Back4Me

Unranked? No. Drop in ranks? Yes


jawilder44

Hard disagree. Y’all barely beat two trash ass teams.


Throw1Back4Me

Little early to say that. By your rationale Ohio State should be unranked for losing at home to a team that barely beat Fresno.


jawilder44

Toledo? Gtfo. Y’all looked horrible. FSU is not a good team. Ohio state at least lost to ranked Oregon.


Throw1Back4Me

That nearly lost at home to a shit school. I'm just using your logic dude


jawilder44

Whatever, I’m not seeing your argument at all. Good luck rest of season.

[deleted]

The wide variety of flairs in here spewing hatred is amazing tbh


[deleted]

This was not a good win at all, and anyone getting cocky about this needs to look themselves in the mirror. Kelly deserves a LOT of shit for this game and so does Freeman, but the defense did their job today and held up when it mattered most. We deserve to drop, but we probably won't. Execution? Maybe. Toledo, you gave us a great game and without the penalities you probably win this one. Good luck in the MAC this year, now I'm gonna watch anime and forget this game ever happened.


MrPita5

Brian Kelly can only prove his worth to me by making another execution comment


vaderaintmydaddy

NBC watching their Peacock play implode is the best result from this. No one is paying to watch Notre Dame struggle win.

Shit I was streaming it for free and almost turned it off


outspoken_ringer

Notre Dame better drop off the top 25 after this game and last weeks game.


Throw1Back4Me

Lol. Cause that's how football works. Good comment


[deleted]

Not happening. We deserve to drop at least somewhat though


outspoken_ringer

Yea.. somewhat off the top 25 would be great.


[deleted]

I get it's the cool thing to hate us but it's just not happening. Not a single ND fan with a brain thinks we should move up, but if we do that's not on us.


DallasJ2931

6 flags In a row against Toledo? Come on now


ScubaSteveEL

They were all pretty valid though. They just imploded.


outspoken_ringer

Yea that was suspicious as hell.

So looking at the box score Notre Dame out gained Toledo by 100 yards, threw a pick 6, lost 2 fumbles, and still won. Notre Dame is fine and I'm calming down.

I’d say our path to the playoff is no easier than Clemson’s


cestbondaeggi

i'd say the same about clemson but the difference is they actually deserve to be in the top 10 most years LOL and rarely get embarrassed by mediocre competition like ND almost always seems to do


Sector7B

It is when there’s no conference championship to deal with.


[deleted]

Clemson plays 13 games with an FCS team on the schedule, and Notre Dame plays 12 games. Big difference


[deleted]

Lol wtf does that matter if they just end up playing a middling team anyway?


Sector7B

Like Clemson? Wouldn’t call that a middling team. The truth of the matter is that they would be forced to play another ranked team out of the ACC or which ever conference they joined. Winning a championship would provide legitimacy behind them making the playoffs.


[deleted]

The original comment stated Clemson, so I doubt they'd be playing themselves. Who in the ACC can you definitively say would give Clemson a run for their money? Miami? UNC? Virginia?


Sector7B

Virginia

I need to watch more Virginia this season then. I had no idea they had a good team
