I was a freshman in high school when Notre Dame won their last National Championship, I remember the greatness and I remember when Notre Dame Stadium was intimidating. In all reality 1993 was our last legitimate elite and championship caliber team. Will we ever have another golden era at Notre Dame again ??
So how do you plan to stop NIL or the transfer portal???? Hum? If you pay players at all, it does occur to you that they are officially not considered amateur anymore???? And what does that sound like? The NFL isn’t that familiar? And you know in the NFL that it’s every given Sunday and it’s a 50-50 chance of winning and losing!!!! Those days that you remember are long gone because these kids are focused on themselves and do not necessarily know or follow their careers in the Notre Dame tradition. It’s simply about opportunity for them and any school that will give him that it’s good enough. Indeed you are years are over. And having followed the IRISH for 51 years, I’ve seen the changes too. But I also have an insiders knowledge of the football program at Notre Dame and I’m just telling you the truth. Good luck.
Hey John we totally understand that you have to speed up - and as listeners we want that too! When people go on for too long it actually can tune me out from listening. Totally your call but maybe a 2 min limit per caller? Just a thought.
At 81 I am old enough to remember when we fans had legitimately a lot of confidence in the ND football team. I seldom have that anymore 😞. I have confidence in you though John. Keep bringing it 😃☘️ GO IRISH ☘️
I think if your team loses..... coaching staff don't get paid..... I went 2 a ND game years ago cost me $45.00 ta park my car in a open field..... NEVER AGAIN.... ND lost 2 a high school team
I stopped in Saline Michigan to get gas on my way home from the game. As a filled the tank, I realized how close CJ Carr lived to Ann Arbor. Why cant we start him? He was the best QB in the spring. Nebraska and the Gators just got wins with their star freshman QBs. We have lots of great RBs. We dont need another RB trying to throw the ball. We need a QUARTERBACK. A real quarterback. Freshman or not, thats what CJ is.....
The problem is that the University no. Longer cares about this football team. Or any football team they got the. NBC contract and they could care less whether they win. Or lose if you don't renew the contract. Because people are starting to tune out. That might make a difference
Did any of you ever think that these are 18 to 24-year-old kids who are simply looking out for their future??? First and foremost as a fan, yes you are ingrained following Notre Dame into believing certain things but you have to really look at the reality that every year is a brand new team and team chemistry is an absolute uncertainty. Like gambling you’re taking your chances when you pay your money and you should always know that wins and losses always go 50/50. For most of you around the country that are not here in South Bend or even at the University never really follow through with everything that goes on behind the scenes. That is the biggest misconception, and considering all of us are more or less armchair quarterbacks with a national championship ingrained in our minds as an automatic fact are just foolin. Next time as a fan, it’s better to just appreciate what you have and keep your fingers crossed. Fans will always want what’s best for them selves but never know the full truth.
I think there are MANY great things about Marcus Freeman and I believe he is, generally, an improvement over Brian Kelly. But this CAN NOT happen. And if he can't fix this crap, we'll have to find someone who can.
And another thing Notre Dame is not like everyone else in college football. The size of campus and student base; academics come first, and extensive travel for their football teams. None of us will ever see Notre Dame join a conference ever. Simply put the fan base is all over the world and they want access to their university. Thus NBC brings Notre Dame football to everyone and because of this Notre Dame will never change their ways ever. That is their identity and it works for them. Athletes have to compete with valedictorians in the classroom and uphold rigorous schedules, unlike anyone else who impacts college sports in the world in general like Notre Dame. You guys might be frustrated and I was there at the game Saturday and there were some moments where there is no energy in this team. But who’s to say their energy was Zat so quickly in such a big game the week before having been on the road in a hostile environment right off the bat and then you turn right around and instead of taking it easy on your team, you run them through the rigor during the week and then you have your let down. There is so much more that really goes on at Notre Dame and people realize. Just to get to game day and do the best you can you go through a lot. Instant gratification is not the key. Because it’s simply proves there are no guarantees. As frustrating as this may be, there are reasons behind it but there’s really nothing we can do outside of not buying tickets. You’re still gonna have my TV and you’re still gonna have the same expectations on campus. You just have to trust the process enough that Freeman will get over the hump or they will find a new coach eventually. Remember it’s not in our hands but there’s to make these changes. And with all the other off the field distractions going on you never know just what you’re going to get until you play the game…..
Didn’t Notre Dame fire Tyrone Willingham in 2004 because they thought they were going to get Urban Meyer to coach but Urban turned his back on the Golden Dome and went to Ohio State? Urban is available to coach if he so chooses.
There is no wine in the world sweeter than the tears of entitled Notre Dame fans. The poster children for "overrated" strike again. Bring back Jerry Faust.
Guys guys guys.... It's setting up to be the greatest story in college football... Coming into the season great talent, playoff bound , undefeated season after beating a&m at Kyle field...something BK woulda blown..... Then .. we lose to NIU. Northern Illinois University... AT HOME. first home game of the season... Everything in question. Freemans job, the staff, the players ( I didn't want Leonard to begin with. Angeli shoulda had the start and proved himself) Only to win out the rest of the season... uNDefeated... Roll through the playoffs. Then win a natty. 🏆 All with one loss ... To Northern Illinois University...#GoIrish☘️ ❇️❇️ DISCLAIMER ❇️❇️ though I would love for this to play out.. 🤣 This was for laughs fully understanding it would never happen. Fk it... Heres to the luck of the Irish 🍻 #GoIrish☘️. #fUcktherest
Sorry for your hard times and horrible loss. If by chance there is another loss, and the season is flushed down the toilet? How about you and your subscribers rooting on the Buckeyes? Ohhhhhhh I can hear the hate! Possible rant. But stop...........Breathe count to 10....Ohio state been screwed the last few years, and they have a statement to make in 2024! Why don't we ALL enjoy the "nut kicking" Ohio state is going to do in 2024? Michigan? Oh there will be NO mercy on Michigan! I can see OSU scoring no less then 70 points minimum. Notre Dame can fix things in the off season! Lets all band together and enjoy the literal asskicking that Ohio State has in store for anyone (especially Michigan) that stands in their way. How bout it?
The caller is right. Play like a Champ not a chump
This caller, needs to be hired!! Listened to him on the live show, he was awesome!
Love this caller!!!! That’s exactly how I feel!!!!
This caller is 💯 on the money
3 years of hopium down the drain
2.1
Notre Dame fans are mad as Hell. And we're not going to take it anymore.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Couldn’t agree more with this caller. Where is that NOTRE DAME PRIDE???
It’s called college football has passed ND by as other programs got better!
Have been following ND since 1962! This caller is 100% correct!
💯 bang on !😢
Epic. My man nailed it. Go Irish. 💚
This caller 💯 percent right I agree with all of it !!!!
We're embarrassing
No we're not. The team and MF are. We are proud Fighting Irish fans.
As a Bama fan I could never imagine cheering for a program like ND.
ND lost to NIU! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@JTH-hm8ew wait a sec...Bama fans can read?

@@ericswope8314 what conference will we be joining ??

I could never imagine cheering for a modern non relevant program in ND!
Pride starts with hiring the right coaches.
I think if your team loses..... coaching staff don't get paid..... I went 2 a ND game years ago cost me $45.00 ta park my car in a open field..... NEVER AGAIN.... ND lost 2 a high school team
Who do these callers think ND is? Irrelevant for three decades is the answer.
I stopped in Saline Michigan to get gas on my way home from the game. As a filled the tank, I realized how close CJ Carr lived to Ann Arbor.
Why cant we start him? He was the best QB in the spring. Nebraska and the Gators just got wins with their star freshman QBs.
We have lots of great RBs. We dont need another RB trying to throw the ball.
We need a QUARTERBACK. A real quarterback. Freshman or not, thats what CJ is.....
He's only been watching since ninety seven I remember the eighty eight season
The problem is that the University no. Longer cares about this football team. Or any football team they got the. NBC contract and they could care less whether they win. Or lose if you don't renew the contract. Because people are starting to tune out. That might make a difference
Why even care about a modern mediocre program? I am so glad that I cheer for Mighty Bama!

USC has more natties than Notre Dame and Georgia

Nebraska played there freshman quarterback and beat Colorado, why can't we put cj carr in,Freeman needs to be on the hot seat!
I'm next, John.
NIU just dominated the Irish physically. NIU dominated in all phases
I think NIU deserves credit. They dominated
Is this Shaun Davis? 😂
Try being an Iowa fan. You guys have it 10,000x better. Trust me.
There is no wine in the world sweeter than the tears of entitled Notre Dame fans. The poster children for "overrated" strike again. Bring back Jerry Faust.
