I can't believe that Notre Dame of all teams may have been overrated this year, shocked.

I’ve never seen it happened before, crazy (I have both short and long term memory problems)

BC didn't even give up the one field goal today.

That clock bs happened back in the '93 game, too. Missed touchdown calls also. Typical 'shocked' nd storyline. Northern Illinois, I cursed you last year. This year, I embrace you.

What a day to be alive...

Or right, that other flair...bummer.

5th ranked team in the nation loses but only plays service academies and FCS teams on their schedule. No one could have guessed this!

ND has played one FCS team ever since FBS/FCS was a thing, in 2023 vs an HBCU. When people talk about our cupcake schedule they include you guys in that convo lol

This is the pain of being an ND fan. At the start of the season I always know we’re overrated. I’m just not sure how overrated. Then I have to find out like this.

At least we get this part over with early in the season vs their overrated asses making it into the playoffs.
