- 0:01So as we all know, college football season is officially
- 0:08ongoing and you know the first full week of college football
- 0:16was here even though week 0 was last Saturday.
- 0:23Now mind you, there were only what, a handful came.
- 0:27So Week 1 is here, folks. Of course, there's a lot of
- 0:36teams that earn the money for a national trial, including the
- 0:42one on about the match. Now with this particular team,
- 0:51with all due respect to their great history, they have been
- 0:58given too much for free pass because of their history.
- 1:07So in case the team you know, I'm referring to talking about
- 1:13noise Dane look, it is one of the historic college programs
- 1:24football most I'm not even denying it.
- 1:30You know, from all the Pahiza, forgive me by misspelled his
- 1:36last name wrong to obviously Rue Holtz to even when they had
- 1:45Rudy, which was actually a true story turned into a movie in
- 1:501993. They have had a rich history for
- 1:56Hall of Fame coaches, Heisman winners.
- 2:02I'm just going to say I think they are the most overrated
- 2:11college program is. Let me explain why that is for
- 2:23Square Bay history that they have had, why haven't they won
- 2:29more national championships? I mean, think about this, the
- 2:37last national championship was in 1988.
- 2:44Let me repeat 1988. What's the last national champ?
- 2:56Now? Of course, they've been to two
- 2:58since then, one in 2012, where Alabama made them feel like they
- 3:05didn't belong on the field. And of course more recently from
- 3:10two years back when Ohio State beat.
- 3:17But one of the things I've never been able to figure out, why
- 3:24have they been given so much for Paris?
- 3:28Because of their history. And think about from this, you
- 3:37know, after they won the national title and 88 and after
- 3:45who hosts this last few seasons in the 90s stay in the mountain
- 3:52much, the program essentially became just a run-of-the-mill
- 4:01team. That's actually me being kind.
- 4:08I mean, when you look at the coaches have come after revolves
- 4:17also in my lifetime for me, you know, Brian Kelly's the coach
- 4:25who took that team the Irish to the national title game against
- 4:31Alabama to even now Mark streaming most recently, we
- 4:37still the head coach there when he took the Iowas to the
- 4:42national tile. And so I was staying in 2024.
- 4:50I'm just saying there was been in my estimation, a level of
- 4:58arrogance that surrounded that program that quite frankly, I
- 5:05don't think they have earned to be honest.
- 5:11Because think about it this way. Last year when the 12 team
- 5:17playoff was unveiled, knowing they was not there.
- 5:26Now mind you, the people in South Bend, they were outraged
- 5:38because their feeling was we should have been over Miami,
- 5:43Alabama, James Madison and I believe Coastal Carolina was the
- 5:50other two. There's just one problem.
- 5:56Have you seen N games schedule? I mean, let's just be real
- 6:02honest and I'm going back to last year.
- 6:07Now mind you they ended their season on a 10 game win streak,
- 6:17but they to start the season lost against the two teams that
- 6:22wound up over getting into the comfortable player over them.
- 6:29That was against Miami who they are likely played this season.
- 6:35It's like saying how can you really say that you deserve to
- 6:43be in the playoff last year when the two teams that you lost to
- 6:48the beginning of season ended up not only beating you but has
- 6:54stronger cases instead of. And same scenario goes for this
- 7:01year 'cause if you had a chance to look at Northern schedule,
- 7:06the only real two tests are gonna be Miami guy mentioned and
- 7:14SMU. You know there's a third team.
- 7:16I apologize, but this is where I think and why I believe nor Dane
- 7:26needs to be in a conference. Mind you, if they finish within
- 7:34the top 12, let me say that again, anywhere in the top 12,
- 7:43they are automatically in the playoffs.
- 7:50Now, do I think that's fair to kind of give him that
- 7:53essentially over some teams that might be more deserving?
- 8:00You know, that's the bearable Butler.
- 8:04My whole thing is outside that crazy year a couple years back,
- 8:13Notre Dame has never been in a conference with football.
- 8:18Now, mind you, they are in for some other sports, but why not
- 8:25for football? I mean, why not go he ACC, which
- 8:31was that crazy year they were in for the Big 10.
- 8:37You know, they're willing to take them, you know, with open
- 8:41arms. You see, that's where the
- 8:46people, unfortunately of South Bend, tell themselves more than
- 8:51they realize, OK, 'cause the reality is this level of, you
- 8:59know, past history and arrogance and believe in that.
- 9:03You know where the fire is. You know, we should be
- 9:05guaranteed aspiring to coach for playoff.
- 9:09You know, you don't 'cause if this were, you know, the likes
- 9:16of Ohio State, Alabama, Georgia, umm, let's say Miami, Michigan,
- 9:24Any or Texas, even if those teams try that same way that the
- 9:30fans with the firearms feel as far as the arrogance those teams
- 9:36would get right through the calls.
- 9:40So why isn't your thing? And again, I have great respect
- 9:46for the history. I literally start off this, you
- 9:51know, praising their long standing history as a program.
- 9:56But it's like, what have you done lately to prove you've
- 10:02earned that kind of cash? Again, no national championship
- 10:08since 88 two other appearances sense and you have a schedule
- 10:16that essentially is Terra made that essentially gives you a
- 10:22virtual lock in the college ball playoff.
- 10:28But here's why I will say now once you all remember this, if
- 10:33newer thing where the passengers out there were to lose to Miami
- 10:40asking you or a third team that some people think you give him
- 10:45trouble. Then who is going to sit here
- 10:54and make a case for Nora Ganga? Who is going to sit there and
- 10:59try to say they just would be in a play?
- 11:02That's what I'm telling you right now.
- 11:09I would not make a case for them even if somebody paid me to.
- 11:19And I'm looking at the schedule now with Sis SMU in Miami and
- 11:24it's actually BYUI apologize. BYU was the other OK, there are
- 11:30no slouches. So what do you think it's going
- 11:36to happen if defying Irish lose 2 out of three games or all?
- 11:48Are you going to put them in over more to serving teams?
- 11:56If I won that community, I'll playoff community.
- 12:00I'm not sure as I won't again. While I respect the history,
- 12:09this program in particular has been getting too much of A free
- 12:13pass because no other program we've been able to live up the
- 12:21off the walls of that without getting screwed.
- 12:30Look, I believe what streaming can coach.
- 12:36He's a great recruiter. You know, this roster they have
- 12:41ultimately some people think is championship count.
- 12:47And you know, if we get into the playoff, who knows what will
- 12:51happen? None of us.
- 12:54But why don't lie. Ultimately, it's the elegance
- 13:01that that fanbase feels because they feel like they've earned.
- 13:07If you wanna have that kind of mentality, then your team needs
- 13:11to go out there and show that they can prove otherwise if they
- 13:18missed the playoff. Again, this is more confirmation
- 13:22than a one straight historic program has been given free
- 13:26license because of their history that quite frankly since 1988
- 13:33they have not earned.
