ART CANTRELLE!

I saw him pick up and throw a 500+lb vending machine at a group of police officers while smashing a beer bottle on his head and chewing on the glass daring the officers to fight him.

I was going to put a vote in for northern Indiana. It’s either a flat, remote cornfield or a run down, rust belt depressed town that’s on its last leg. The summers are hot and the winters are brutal with its lake effect snow. Feet of snow can start to accumulate as early as October. A nice fall day turns into a blue gray sky and rain in minutes due to the lake. You’re always under the threat of rain.

Was this the Miami - Florida brawl in the FQ? Can you expound?

Classy, upstanding bunch, those Michigan “men.” :lol:

another homosexual tourist trap...... At one time I was really interested in going but have a few friends in who live in NH and MA and they let me know it's one of the go-to weekend B&B destinations for gay getaways.

ND fans and the institution has an elitism to it that they think they are above everyone else.

The ratings do not show it anymore.

In 2025, the most-watched teams of the 2025 regular season, according to Nielsen Big Data + Panel data, were as follows:

1. Alabama
2. Texas
3. Georgia
4. Ohio State
5. Oklahoma
6. LSU
7. Tennessee
8. Auburn
9. Michigan
10. A&M
11. Florida
12. Ole Miss
13. South Carolina
14. FSU
15. Notre Dame
16. Vanderbilt
17. Missouri
18. Penn State
19. Miami
20. Oregon

Congratulations. 15th. You're behind 11/16 SEC schools as well. And you joke about the "it just means more" slogan ...

Not an ND fan but if they just would not have blown it against aTm, they would be in the playoffs, and no one would have a problem with it.

Don't you worry. They'll be in it next year. According to their fans, their going "scorched earth" on the "Freeman revenge tour." They'll rightfully earn their spot beating up on the little sisters of the poor.

vs. Wisconsin (Lambeau)
vs. Rice
vs. Michigan State
@ Purdue
@ North Carolina

Sure, some teams can turn it around and have a successful 2026 season. But, as it stands, they're literally playing four bowl eligible teams :lol:

Take one moment, look at the schedule, and imagine if that was YOUR team's schedule for 2026. You'd be angry. You're not paying good money for a full season of throwaway games.

This is why no one respects you Notre Dame. The NOLA Catholic League is more challenging than that lineup.

But what about all the directional schools the SEC plays in November?! :lol: Take a look at that lineup, Notre Dame. You want to throw Centenary or John Melvin on there as well?

If the Big Ten ever expanded again by adding ACC teams (Miami, GT, Duke, Virginia), I could see them finally linking up with the Big Ten.

I think their beef with the ACC is due to the ACC intentionally and solely singling Notre Dame out — instead of also pointing at all the flaws with Alabama, Oklahoma, etc.

For example, the ACC aired the ND-Miami game like 15 times. Not once did they air FSU beating Alabama by 14.

Here's a question, why does everyone dislike Notre Dame not being in a conference? What's wrong with being independent? It's not like mega conferences have improved college football. Quite the opposite.

---

With the way conferences have expanded, it’s a pointless argument.
Miami, the ACC representative, didn’t even play the two teams in the ACC Championship (Duke and Virginia) nor did they play GT.

If ND wants to remain independent, that’s perfectly fine. That doesn’t mandate teams to schedule them, however. I mean, if I was a ND fan / ticket holder, I’m not sure I could justify paying those ticket prices for that schedule. Look at 2026, it’s even worse …
