1. A WIN!!!
We are so used to losses in New Year's bowl games that it's sickening. Like last year when we blew a 21 pt. lead to OSU. It feels so damn good to win one of these things.
2. Weren't we all nervous wrecks, basket cases, for almost 4 hours yesterday?
3. Shane Beamer was smiling and yucking it up early in the game; however, he transitioned to Shame Beamer after that, with a never ending stream of F-bombs for the officials. Classy guy!
4. Congratulations, Marcus! That W will do wonders for you and the program. It will set a positive tone for '23.
5. Patterson will get drafted, but he played anyway, got injured, and still came back. He'll have much fonder memories of his last game at ND than his two observer teammates.
6. Who doesn't dig Logan?
7. And Lenzy with the key play of the game on the fake punt?
8. And our ST coach for designing and calling it?
9. Kudos to Tyler Buchner for getting the job done. Gutsy.
10. Lorenzo Styles, it's your turn to break out in '23.
11. It's hard to put "great call" and Rees in the same sentence, but it's true on the misdirection pass for the game-winning TD to Evans.
12. Why did Rees keep running the ball up the middle on first down with so little to show for it? (Sorry, couldn't help myself).
13. A WIN, once again. How sweet it is!
14. Happy New Year to all! Go Irish! ☘
