That was a safe FCS hire for HC, and Beamer's record for Murray State proved that.
For a place that always would get preferential treatment because "they're Notre Dame"! ... It is hilarious watching them, their fans, talking heads online or on TV complaining about anything. Anyone remember the 6-4-1 Notre Dame getting into the Fiesta Bowl? Total joke. Have no sympathy for any of them.
By the way, anyone remember the Notre Dame Football Fan Real Men of Genius video? It was a riot. "BC's got better Christians" made me laugh out loud.
How do you guys keep up so much track that you have been downvoted? I think i have only ever seen a handful of negative leg posts

Bevacqua really saw Bob Kraft apologize and thought, "I have an opening here"
If ND wants to be mad at something, they should be mad at Alabama. That's who stole their spot.
EDIT: To add, I also would not miss them if ND tried to get out of the ACC deal.
The only part I'd be upset about if ND left the ACC is having the option to go to South Bend for a VT-ND football or basketball game.
Other than that...bye
Just beat Miami then ND, or better yet join the ACC and kick the shit out of UVA in the championship game.
If they want to complain about the ACC it should be about their complete mishandling of the tiebreakers, but the biggest issue is Alabama getting in and not even dropping a spot in the rankings after getting boat raced in their championship game and losing to FSU.
You can't expect the ACC to not push for one of their members to make the playoffs, especially when that member has the head-to-head win against the team that will be forced out.
Look, if Notre Dame's women's tennis team was in contention for the CFP, I'd fully expect the ACC to lobby for them the make it. Notre Dame's football team should ask their own conference to do that, not an unaffiliated organization of which they are not a member.
How about
2 years FBS GA (defense), 2 years FBS defensive quality control, 1 year FBS assistant position coach, 1 year FBS position coach, 2 years FCS position coach, 2 years FCS DC
I know for a fact that the ACC's deal with ND is a bad deal for the ACC. So, in that regard, I genuinely hope that ND does blow the deal up and leaves the conference entirely. Good riddance, I say
The problem is, though, that ND knows it's a bad deal for the ACC (and a sweetheart deal for them) so they're going to whine and cry and make a big fuss about it but at the end of the day they're too chickenshit to leave. They just want their FIFA Medal participation trophy and they'll cry about it to make sure everyone knows
it's just posturing at this point.
Fuck 'em. Let 'em walk.
Raise the talent level and it'll all be just fine. If you look at the top teams, their players have to make incredible individual plays every single game to consistently win. There are not many teams that can rely on drawing up wide open TD plays. If Franklin trusts this guy, then I trust him. Just bring on the stud players.
And you throw in their absolute bitch move of withdrawing from the post season entirely (which would have also displaced an ACC team)... fuck these guys into the sun. At least FSU tried to compete despite all the opt outs.
I've watched ND steal opportunity after opportunity from the Big East when I was in school and from the ACC now.
Where was this energy when they snatched the Fiesta bid away from VT in Vick's final season? When they were getting the shit choked out of them by Oregon State? Pepperidge Farm remembers motherfuckers.
thanks for owning it. It does irk me, on occasion, when I can't see who DV'd something and am left with making assumptions

New rankings are out. Gaj is now ranked at 149 instead of Noah Nininger. He is 15th on flowrestling and 19th on intermat. Now I have a theory. Since Noah's best win is at 157. Do we have him bulk up during the winter break to be the full time 157. Especially if Miller isn't fully healthy when January comes around. Or do we have him try to cut too 141 and challenge Crook?
Let's also keep at the forefront that Notre Dame receives a full non-football revenue share of about $21M from the ACC plus receives about $4.5M for ACC road games. Does the rise in viewership for those 3 games really warrant covering them in the other 24 sports of which only two have been relatively successful? Womens basketball and women's lacrosse. They are also good at fencing but not sure that's an ACC sport. None of them drive that many eyeballs.
Eh, Hagans hasn't been great at PSU. Receivers have been one of their weaknesses the past few years. And considering that Mines hasn't developed well, I'm not sure he'd develop TEs well either. I'm just of the opinion that our series of Moorehead, Wiggins, and Burden was far superior to Mines or Hagans. Obviously 2/3 of those greatness has been validated with Moorehead in the NFL for a decade now and winning a Super Bowl and Wiggins winning national championships at Alabama and now possibly becoming the OC at A&M.
also that Mizzou win should have an asterisk by it, I watched that game. Refs handed it to Bama
I don't get the seemingly split public opinion where people think you're either supporting ND or supporting ESPN. Yeah f*%k both of them they both suck.
Let the door hit ya where the dog bit ya, Notre Damn.
One UVA alum is enough IMO, but please move Mines to TE. We don't have to worry about them catching passes that aren't thrown to them anyway.
In the only non-football sports that really generates revenue, mens basketball, they are an earth shattering 105-127. They have four winning seasons in their 12 seasons in the ACC. Really driving that market.
