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 love every Notre Dame game and have no emotional hangover.
However, the BYU game has changed my outlook drastically. Before the game, I thought ND would beat Miami. Now, I expect Notre Dame to lose and possibly not make the playoffs. What a difference a game makes.

Re: I love every Notre Dame game and have no emotional hangover.
Sadly it exposed what a weak schedule does to false confidence. We finally got to see who we are/were.

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.

Facing a less talented team the week before playing #1 Miami...no surprise that the team didn't come
out all fired up...Coaches don't want to show much...players want to be sure they're good to go on the 7th, etc.
That being said, Navy was shutdown from the 2nd Qtr...the offense delivered...and the team will be ready for Miami...
In order to be accepted as #1...you have to beat #1...GO IRISH!

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.

Re: For a month after that game I felt like I had done something wrong
Same here. I was amazed we won that Cotton Bowl vs A&M because it was obvious we'd get screwed by the voters for the NC no matter what we did and that's exactly what happened.

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.

How do you know they are resilitent? Last year they lost to Miami and Texas A&M back to back. Were they resilitent then two?

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

They will all play.
And I bet it will be back to 3 vs. Miami.
I think the issue is Mike Brown, not the players.

I said meaningful snaps against navy. Not in garbage time
And yes we will have a tight rotation against Miami and tire our own guys out.
I will be pleasantly surprised if they do anything different but don’t expect it

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?"
