Notre Dame vs Florida State Sunday 7:30 pm
September 5th, 2021 at 7:33 PM ^
Let’s go Noles! Fuck ND.
September 5th, 2021 at 7:36 PM ^
To hell with Notre Dame!
September 5th, 2021 at 7:38 PM ^
I have to say it would be so cool if somehow we were to meet ND in the Playoffs. I know doubt it will happen but man that would be so cool.
September 5th, 2021 at 9:32 PM ^
Michigan football is nowhere near being a playoff team. I wish they were but reality is what it is.
September 6th, 2021 at 11:10 AM ^
OSU is down (for them) and I think we have a legit shot to beat them this year. I can see UofM and Iowa in the B1G Championship vying for a playoff spot. It’s not that hard to imagine. Indinia, Wisky and PSU have not impressed thus far, and our biggest test before The Game could be Sparty.
September 5th, 2021 at 7:39 PM ^
Notre Dame is more over hyped than we are on an annual basis.
September 5th, 2021 at 7:41 PM ^
They beat us on the way to the playoff in 2018...
September 5th, 2021 at 7:48 PM ^
And then as a top-10 team they were annihilated by what turned out to be a four-loss Michigan the next season.
September 5th, 2021 at 7:53 PM ^
Whos talking about the next season....yeah we beat the shit out of them in 2019 but 2018 was the year to prove we werent pretenders and we looked like crap in South Bend.
September 5th, 2021 at 8:39 PM ^
Sometimes I think you hate Michigan more than most MSU and OSU fans.
September 5th, 2021 at 8:56 PM ^
I hate when Michigan fans make ridiculous excuses i.e. "Notre Dame is more overrated than us" yet they beat us and went 12-0 ?? we probably make the playoff that year if we win in either South Bend or Columbus, but we lost both our toughest away games against rivals.
September 6th, 2021 at 9:30 AM ^
This is incorrect. U-M had to beat OSU to get in. The ND game made no difference.
Remember that OSU went 12-1 that season and missed the playoff. How would Michigan have gotten in after getting blown out by them?
September 5th, 2021 at 9:43 PM ^
The fuck kind of logic is this? They beat us 4 years ago, and apparently that counts and is important to you. Yet, us beating their asses the next year is somehow irrelevant. Do you get off on this self-flagellation nonsense?
September 5th, 2021 at 10:12 PM ^
I never said irrelevant...it was one of Harbaugh's best wins since he's been here....and I was there to see it. But A. We already had 2 losses at that point and B. they were able to beat us on the way to a undefeated regular season the year before yet people on here are calling them overrated...what kind of logic is that?
September 5th, 2021 at 10:19 PM ^
I was there too - it was cold and wet but so much fun.
I think ‘overrated’ is a fair description of ND under Kelly. You put them in the Big Ten East and their absolute best case scenario is 2nd place, and often likely 3rd or 4th. For a team like that to ride a soft schedule to multiple playoff appearances - and then fail to score in those games - overrated seems pretty apt.
September 5th, 2021 at 10:32 PM ^
So if ND is overrated what are we? We've finished better than 3rd once in six years.
September 5th, 2021 at 10:51 PM ^
Um, i hate to break it to you but we are literally unranked right now. I’m no logic expert, but I’m pretty sure the fact that we aren’t rated, like, at all means, by definition, that we aren’t overrated.
Plus, I don’t think you’d get a lot of flack on this board for saying we’ve been overrated the last few years based on wins and losses.
September 6th, 2021 at 4:03 AM ^
I agree with you over 90% of the time but pretty much everyone agrees we suck. We are rightfully unranked.
September 6th, 2021 at 11:14 AM ^
I would love to see ND in the B1G or SEC. Their days of making the playoffs would be over.
September 5th, 2021 at 10:22 PM ^
You fucking troll! Your tongue is always buried firmly up the ass of whatever rival is being referred to. Even after we win you pull this shit. Go dry hump the leprechaun on a Domer board!
September 5th, 2021 at 8:41 PM ^
The only reason they made the playoffs is their the color of their helmets.
September 5th, 2021 at 8:54 PM ^
Or the fact they went 12-0
September 5th, 2021 at 9:34 PM ^
Their performance in the playoffs demonstrated how good a team they were.
September 5th, 2021 at 10:17 PM ^
If that's your measuring stick then every team sans Alabama, Clemson, and OSU are no good. We cant even get to the playoff.
September 5th, 2021 at 10:50 PM ^
Let’s see, we have Ohio State, Penn State, Wisconsin in our way along with others. ND has ????In their way????
September 5th, 2021 at 11:31 PM ^
Uh, us? Clemson last year? They had Wisconsin scheduled too.
September 6th, 2021 at 11:15 AM ^
Naval Academy
September 5th, 2021 at 9:53 PM ^
Notre Dame belongs in the B10 with their academics, traditions and footprint. I would love to see it. But they’re a bunch of pussies and would rather play the weak ACC and Big East.
They are a mediocre team in the Big10. Fuck em.
September 6th, 2021 at 11:17 AM ^
This is true, and they are back to being an independent this year. To Hell With Notre Dame!
September 5th, 2021 at 7:40 PM ^
Normally I root against both teams but Notre Dame is the bigger evil. Fuck them.
September 5th, 2021 at 7:41 PM ^
This would be the year for someone else to step up in the ACC and challenge Clemson. Their defense looked formidable, but their offense was pretty shaky. One more loss should be enough to knock them out of the playoffs.
September 5th, 2021 at 7:44 PM ^
Looking at Clemson’s schedule this FSU team may be the best chance for that to happen
September 5th, 2021 at 8:03 PM ^
They should be out now. The rest of their schedule is absolute garbage. Maybe it’s just me, but I think you should have to beat a ranked team at some point to get into the playoffs. The only difference between the resumes of 2021 Clemson at a hypothetical 12-1 and the “national champion” UCF team is that UCF entered bowl season with three wins over ranked teams, and Clemson probably won’t have any. Clemson got the shot against a top 5 team that UCF didn’t, and got rushing Rutgered.
September 5th, 2021 at 7:44 PM ^
Heres to a good entertaining game with a FSU win. Good to see traditions back in action from coast to coast.. electrifying!
September 5th, 2021 at 7:48 PM ^
Damn Touchdown Notre Dame...thats how you play with balls
September 5th, 2021 at 9:47 PM ^
You’re a fucking caricature at this point - get a grip
September 5th, 2021 at 11:40 PM ^
You're just looking for shit to bitch about. The comment directly below yours say the exact same thing.
September 6th, 2021 at 12:46 AM ^
I’m looking for things to bitch about? Pot, meet kettle.
September 5th, 2021 at 7:48 PM ^
ballsy play call on 4 and 1 on the road by Kelly.
Mayer looks impressive
September 5th, 2021 at 7:49 PM ^
Someone should tell FSU that the tight end is an eligible receiver
September 5th, 2021 at 7:52 PM ^
God, I hate Notre Dame so much.
September 5th, 2021 at 8:41 PM ^
I give credit to Brian Kelly. He’s a great coach. But he’d fare no better then Harbaugh if he was coaching Michigan.
The only difference between Notre Dame’s success and Michigan’s lack thereof boils down to two words: Ohio State.
If Michigan was an independent with ND’s schedule and ND was in the Big Ten East, then Harbaugh would’ve made the playoffs twice by now and ND wouldn’t have sniffed anything beyond second place in the division.
Don’t get me wrong. Notre Dame has earned what it’s gotten, but it’s not an inherently better or stronger program. They’re the benefactors of a far easier schedule.
September 5th, 2021 at 11:10 PM ^
At least Harbaugh never killed a guy.
September 5th, 2021 at 7:55 PM ^
Announcers truly abysmal. If this is any indication of what's to come, this is a blood-letting in the making.
EDIT: Happy if I am gonna be proved wrong! I live in Tallahassee, hate ND, and the local economy needs FSU to be good.
September 5th, 2021 at 7:55 PM ^
Rooting for the meteor
September 5th, 2021 at 7:56 PM ^
Well, Florida State still stinks so theres that.
September 5th, 2021 at 7:57 PM ^
This game isn't a good example (well, maybe except for people who haven't paid attention to FSU's woes the past few years), but ND has an uncanny ability to catch teams at the peak of their reputation:reality ratio. I'd have to look at the historical details to be sure, but I'll bet they've played lots of ranked teams early in the season that turned out to be overrated.
September 5th, 2021 at 8:03 PM ^
They did this with Sparty in 13 or 14 and ended up being MSU’s only loss.
September 5th, 2021 at 8:25 PM ^
That's just what happens when you schedule theoretically tough games at the beginning of the year.
A Michigan example is Colorado in 1997. They were coming off of their second straight 10-2 season and they'd finished 11-1 the year before that; we'd split the two previous games with them thanks to a play I am glad I did not see live. They were ranked in the top ten coming into the game.
Yet Woodson had his first interception of the season, Colorado was lucky to score at all and it turned out to be one of the easier games of the year. Colorado ended up finishing 5-6.
(I'm still kind of pissed at them for losing to Nebraska that year. They did play them tough, at least.)
September 5th, 2021 at 9:28 PM ^
Yeah, I am still bitter. Michigan and Nebraska have two common opponents. Michigan had them both beat by halftime. Baylor and Colorado were still in the game at halftime against Nebraska but power rankings don't take halftime scores into account nor do they consider illegal kicked balls.
