Irish Illustrated Insider: It’s Notre Dame vs USC with a Playoff Bid at Stake

[@johntucker5994]

Great discussion gentlemen! Well worth the time. Much better than sports talk radio.....:)

SMU had 6 turnovers against Duke. And somehow won. ND's defense can easily mess with them if Duke can force that many TOs.

Hosting Texas in South Bend in December....YES please!

[@Melvinmutt]

we would go to them unfortunately

[@Melvinmutt]

ND is actually good and everyone is afraid to say it.. The coaching is on par with the Holtz era.. We are good folks

[@kaimenbeavers1036]

Can y'all mention something about the Notre Dame women's basketball team beating USC last weekend and is now #3 and talk about the WCBB team more?

[@johntucker5994]

That was an impressive win!

[@rejean2744]

The question is, can the schools control their players (employees) making money from other sources? Probably not.

[@Melvinmutt]

If you're a good team you will play anyone

This ⬆️ The era of Brian Kelly thinking needs to end.

Things to consider with hosting Indiana vs SMU would be travel and weather. Indiana fans will travel better than SMU fans will and Indiana will be unaffected by weather, while SMU will be somewhat affected (not like Miami, Bama, Georgia, etc..) but Texas and Indiana are quite different in December. I'd prefer to host SMU.

[@johntucker5994]

I haven't seen enough of Indiana and SMU to know which would be an easier match-up against ND. But ND is used to playing against slower, physical Big 10 teams. SMU, if they are fast, and given ND's unfamiliarity with them, might present a bigger challenge. ND's big advantage on defense this year has been their speed vs slower opponents. ND hasn't really faced a top to bottom speedy team, if SMU is that.

How much could Notre dame beat Wyoming by?

[@mtrefethen1]

Is Pete still salty that Kelly is gone?

[@Melvinmutt]

Boise St. beat a two win team Wyoming by 4.. not sold

[@theMUhawk1122]

Yea this Michigan stuff isn’t NIL, it’s pay for play. Horrible

[@KrianBelly]
