Does anyone still have an emotional hangover from losing to BYU and find it hard to get
excited for the Navy game? Being a noon time game doesn't help. I hope the players are more ready than I am.

I'm excited for every ND game.
It's a short, finite season.
ND didn't play from Thanksgiving 2025 until Labor Day 2026.
If they lose to Miami next week, it will be another long walk in the desert.
Enjoy every game.
Kind of reminds me of when Rocket Ismail played for Notre Dame

Biggest all-time emotional hangover: USC destroyed ND in the second half with 55-24 win (1974).
My contempt for dancing-on-his-knees Anthony Davis was visceral.
Every gut-punch loss since then is rueful but attenuated down from that.

Yes, that's me alright. It was there for the taking.
Been attending and following the Irish for over 65 years. Been to more Spring games than I can even remember , going back to when it was called The Old Timers Game. Probably been to around 250 games. Spent more money at the bookstore than this country spends on the military over the years. I'm invested in this program. I know, not as invested as a grad. That point was made already. So, I'm damn upset about this loss. Same as '64 loss to USC. 2005 loss to USC. 1993 loss to BC. NIU etc etc etc. but I will be front and center at 11AM Central watching the Navy game while I'm streaming my grandson's D3 game.

Fans typically react like you are. Fortunately everyone on the team has been able to
bounce back after disappointing losses. That is a great reflection on the head coach and personal drive of the players. When you suffer a bad loss too many fans desert you but the team staying resilitent is a great character trait.

It's hard to imagine getting excited about playing the Middies under any scenario.
The only aspect of this game that has my attention is avoiding injuries.

"only aspect of this game that has my attention is" integrating the TE's into the passing game?
Just to prove that they can still do it?

I want to see more than 3 WRs play meaningful snaps. This blows my mind that u can’t teach them well
Enough to trust them

You've seen her RO commercial, right?
As, former board member TNIrish remarked: "Do I need to get tested for an STD after watching that?"

I have seen it.

I didn't realize it was her at the time.
