He got things done. He came out with favorable situations for ND when the committee was against them and wanted to force ND in a conference to get into NC postseason opportunities. Pete doesn't have that pull or the propaganda against ND by ESPN and ACC that started a few weeks ago wouldn't have happened.

Saban still has more clout than Pete, and the result this week shows. He's been touting it for weeks on GameDay.

The biggest difference is Jack had much sharper elbows than Pete. He swung a bat that had weight - oldirish - 10:34pm 12/7/25 (7) [View All]

  - Easy, you don't give them access and you break ties for cause with the ACC. It's not like ESPN is - oldirish - 11:12pm 12/7/25

      - It's getting harder, but people will play. You don't have to play SEC or ACC teams to field 12 games - oldirish - 10:19am 12/8/25
