  2. DonaldNOV 27, 2022 · 12:02AM

    Maybe it’s just
    Dopey libtard little david against the world

    davidNOV 26, 2022 · 11:56PM

  4. DonaldNOV 26, 2022 · 11:48PM

    Amen, Chris J
    david constantly makes vulgar, homophobic, antisimetic, bizzare, gay, attacks on everyone that posts comments here
    We should all call him out, make it uncomfortable for him, like I’ve done today!
    Go Irish

    davidNOV 26, 2022 · 11:58PM

    Whereas your misison is what, exaclty?
    KIng of Assholes?
    Take that up with Rhonda.

    KeithNOV 27, 2022 · 8:39AM

    Donald, you’re just feeding the troll. You guys have posted over 50 messages of hateful nonsense in this thread.

    You should both be banned from the site, and should probably both stay off the internet for a while

    davidNOV 28, 2022 · 3:38PM

    I simply give as good as I get, often better.
    If you dish it out, you better be ready to take it….simple.
    Arsehole.

  5. ChrisJNOV 26, 2022 · 11:37PM

    Frank and/or site admins,

    At what point do you ban david? This used to actually be a fun site to post on but dude is really becoming a nuisance and probably why the old regulars are never here anymore.

    davidNOV 26, 2022 · 11:38PM

    Hi, Donald’s mom.

    JeffNOV 26, 2022 · 11:40PM

    Bigwheel Mike approves this message haha. Sup Chris?

    ChrisJNOV 27, 2022 · 9:12AM

    LOL sup Jeff!

  6. JeffNOV 26, 2022 · 11:36PM

    Can somebody explain to me the reasoning for Freeman and Rees going for the 2 point conversion on there last score. I can’t make any sense of it. Was Kelly on the headset with Rees convincing him to chase points?

    Ron BurgundyNOV 27, 2022 · 8:16AM

    Thought the same thing at the time. The 2 point chart does say to go for 2 when trailing by 11. Maybe they just went with it.

    davidNOV 28, 2022 · 3:43PM

    What is ths “chart” you speak of, Rhonda?
    It must be what you call your “other people’s old posts” scrapbook.
    That’s all you;ve ever posted here about football.

    SteveNOV 27, 2022 · 8:58AM

    Did it really matter?

  7. DonaldNOV 26, 2022 · 11:29PM

    Dopey little david
    Libtard with the big mouth
    You should be hiding your sorry ass
    Wrong again
    Wrong again
    Totally hilarious
    Your football iq is zero

    davidNOV 26, 2022 · 11:44PM

    Octuple or nothing….
    or is yours a Trump casino… busted?

  8. davidNOV 26, 2022 · 11:14PM

    ND was about half a QB short of winning this game.
    That’s what that lazy, cocksucking loser fuck Brian Kelly left.

    SteveNOV 27, 2022 · 9:00AM

    If you even watched the game you would know QB play didnt lose this game. The lack of defense did!

    davidNOV 28, 2022 · 3:49PM

    Pyne’s 2 turnovers, combined with Wiiliams’ Heisman-sealing performance, determined the outcome.

  9. davidNOV 26, 2022 · 10:54PM

    I wish Caleb Williams as much fame and glory in the NFL as Matt Leinart enjoyed.
    What a fucking dooshbag.

  10. DonaldNOV 26, 2022 · 10:52PM

    Libtard dopey little david
    0-2 today for predictions
    What a dumbass
    At least I made money betting opposite his predictions
    Haha
    Waiting for his next libtard picks
    Yayaaa
    Got your ass kicked today david
    You deserve it

    davidNOV 26, 2022 · 10:56PM

    Quadruple or nothing…..
    Let it ride, sparky… prove me wrong.

  11. davidNOV 26, 2022 · 10:51PM

    Herbstreit is sucking Caleb W’s dick as hard as Rhonda does Kelly’s.

  12. JeffNOV 26, 2022 · 10:45PM

    Seriously Notre Dame, utilize the transfer portal and get a fucking quarterback preferably a dual threat one. Wake the Fuck up.

  13. JeffNOV 26, 2022 · 9:47PM

    In one of if not the biggest game of the year for the Irish the O line coach Heistand has his unit in a food Como.

    We’re getting a pretty good look at what a top tier quarterback can do for a program. I won’t follow ND next year if Pyne is the starting QB.

    KeithNOV 26, 2022 · 10:30PM

    It might be time to make a change at offensive coordinator too.

    JeffNOV 26, 2022 · 10:37PM

    Yeah that clown needs to go as well

    davidNOV 26, 2022 · 10:56PM

    Keith for AD !!

    Ron BurgundyNOV 26, 2022 · 10:45PM

    Never too early for Plan B preparation.

    JeffNOV 26, 2022 · 10:48PM

    Exactly and imagine the amount of in game comments this game would’ve triggered from SteelFanRob

    davidNOV 26, 2022 · 11:28PM

    Your streak without an original thought is internet legend.
    You could start working on the “Thumbs Down” king….

    SteelFanRobNOV 27, 2022 · 11:56AM

    Jeff,

    There are much better ND football sites out there these days to talk actual football and not get bogged down with what this site has turned into. I’d really suggest you guys move on.

  14. Ron BurgundyNOV 26, 2022 · 9:18PM

    Anything new on here today?

    davidNOV 26, 2022 · 9:23PM

    Yes! There;s this new dreamboat in town named Donald….I think you’d really hit it off.
    He hates football, loves being an insufferable prick, and needs a hug. Just like you!

  15. JeffNOV 26, 2022 · 9:12PM

    When your offense sucks like Notre Dame’s does you have no shot whatsoever at staying with an offense like USC. The Defense is gassed due to NDs inability to do anything on offense. Let’s see which coaching staff makes the best adjustments at Halftime. My money is on SC.

    davidNOV 26, 2022 · 9:19PM

    This was a good 80% chance of a loss before the season even started.
    Now, it’s 90%.

  16. KeithNOV 26, 2022 · 9:09PM

    This team is too talented to go 8-4. If Freeman doesn’t find a way to win this game, you have to call this season a failure. Lots of red flags we’ve all tried to explain away. It’s not looking great right now

    davidNOV 26, 2022 · 9:20PM

    Write Brian a tear-stained love note.

  17. davidNOV 26, 2022 · 8:51PM

    Football 101 for Don-alt:
    A “touchdown” is a scoring play. Not a sex act with a weird old man.

  18. davidNOV 26, 2022 · 8:37PM

    Big day for Beavers and ‘Cocks!!

    Calm down, Don-alt…..not a sale at Rudy’s Four Seasons sex toy store.
    College football.

  19. davidNOV 26, 2022 · 8:26PM

    tOSU was getting ready to win this game…frankly, they DID win this game. A lot of of Michigan points got dumped, dumped on the scoreboard. Very, very late.

    Where did these fake points come from? Cyber. It’s all cyber, folks. These are Hugo Chavez scoreboards.

    Are we surprised? Michigan again, folks. Michigan. Are we suprised?
    This is a fraud on the American public….sad. Very sad.

    Buy my Chinese hats. A great Christmas gift. Or hanukkah, with the kikes.

    EdNOV 26, 2022 · 8:30PM

    Freeman sucks and is getting smoked by Riley and USC.Rees is garbage and should never have been hired

    davidNOV 26, 2022 · 8:40PM

    Counterpoint: An exceptional QB is a very, very good thing to have.

  20. DonaldNOV 26, 2022 · 5:11PM

    Wrong again libtard
    Did you by chance see the Michigan game?
    Haha

    davidNOV 26, 2022 · 8:01PM

    Double or nuthin’…
    Prove me wrong.

  21. DonaldNOV 26, 2022 · 4:25PM

    Dopey libtard little david scared to admit your wrong again
    Get ready for your second wrong prediction later
    When the light shines, cockroaches like dopey run and hide in the corner
    Hilarious

    davidNOV 26, 2022 · 5:02PM

    Here’s my prediction: Bet of the day, 100% lock…..
    You’ll keep up this chidish, mentally ill nonsense.

    Prove me wrong.

  22. DonaldNOV 26, 2022 · 4:03PM

    Libtard little david
    How does that Meatchicken score board look?
    Look like they made it out alive
    Hurts donut
    Haha
    Consistently WRONG again

    davidNOV 26, 2022 · 5:03PM

    Despite your expereince, you can’t lick those ‘cocks!

  23. DonaldNOV 26, 2022 · 3:18PM

    Libtard just blew a little fuse, talking jibberish again
    Your wrong again little man
    Knew you would provide valuable insight into todays games
    Great job little david

    davidNOV 26, 2022 · 3:20PM

    Dooshkeepers! “We don’t own a watch!”

  24. DonaldNOV 26, 2022 · 3:05PM

    Libtard little david
    You forgot to walk back your OSU/ Michigan prediction
    Own up little man

    davidNOV 26, 2022 · 3:08PM

    Your mpom owes the world an apology.
    Where’s that?

    davidNOV 26, 2022 · 3:10PM

    MAGA! Fit Don-alt for her SS skirt !
    Yay Proudgals!
    Go Dooshkeepers! !

  25. davidNOV 26, 2022 · 2:50PM

    Football 101 for Don-alt:
    When the TV announcers say a player has “soft hands” or “good touch on the ball”, don’t get excited.
    He is not talking dirty.

  26. DonaldNOV 26, 2022 · 2:50PM

    Libtarditis must be the root of your problem dopey little david
    Keep taking your meds

  27. davidNOV 26, 2022 · 2:43PM

    Football 101 for Don-alt:
    Why does the QB frequently put his hands behind that big guy’s bum?
    …..Don-alt! No, not that! Try again…

  28. DonaldNOV 26, 2022 · 2:43PM

    Hope your enjoying the conversation dopey
    Since it’s the only kind YOU ever get
    How’s the basement libtard?

    davidNOV 26, 2022 · 2:44PM

    Rhonda’s just a text away…..she can only say no, and I bet she won’t.
    ….Chicken?

  29. DonaldNOV 26, 2022 · 2:33PM

    Poor little dopey dave
    Trying to swing up at the neck
    Hilarious

    davidNOV 26, 2022 · 2:39PM

    Football 101 for Don-alt:
    Why do they call it “college” footbal?

    College is where many bright kids go after high school.
    High school is where normal kids go after elementary school.
    Home school is where you mom tells the social services people you go.

  30. davidNOV 26, 2022 · 2:32PM

    Football 101 for Don-alt:
    A bowl game is not that thing you do after you poop and before you flush.
    You really need to stop that, and wash your hands.

  31. DonaldNOV 26, 2022 · 2:19PM

    Don’t get this wrong:
    Dopey is the “cancer” of this site!

    davidNOV 26, 2022 · 2:23PM

    How many quarters in a football game?
    Hint: It’s the same number as there are in a dollar.
    Additional hint: Adollar is what your mom charges per hour.

  32. DonaldNOV 26, 2022 · 2:18PM

    Dopey did you ever stop to think that your the problem?
    Your wrong about most everything.
    You accuse everyone else if things your guilty of.

    davidNOV 26, 2022 · 2:24PM

    How many yards do you need for a first down ?
    And is getting one good or bad ?

  33. DonaldNOV 26, 2022 · 2:01PM

    Hurts doesn’t it dopey little david,
    Whenever you’re called out you start with your gay perverted rants
    So predictable
    BTW need more of your brilliant predictions
    Haha

    davidNOV 26, 2022 · 2:13PM

    Get together with Rhonda….you two gals clearly have lots in common.
    And plenty of things to talk about, none of them football.

  34. DonaldNOV 26, 2022 · 1:43PM

    Wanna walk that one back now?
    What a puss

    davidNOV 26, 2022 · 1:51PM

    Take the rubber dick out of your ass and put it your vagina.
    It’s just classier.

  35. DonaldNOV 26, 2022 · 1:41PM

    Unbelievable
    Dopey prediction of OSU Mich
    May even be wrong!!!
    Hilarious
    Take your Haldol little david

    davidNOV 26, 2022 · 1:50PM

    Little? Your mom knows…find out where she lives and ask her.

  36. davidNOV 26, 2022 · 1:31PM

    It is the victims of parental alcoholism that really pay the highest price.
    In her morning stupors, Mommy Don-alt obviously dropped him on his head a few too many times.

    Child abuse soon becomes child neglect,…..yadda yadda yadda…and here we are.
    Babysitting an angry, lonely sociopath.

  37. DonaldNOV 26, 2022 · 12:15PM

    Dopey already said “ I like ND chances” which means in his twisted brain ND will win, which is why I placed my bet on SC
    Dopey always wrong
    Now he is changing his mind???
    Typical for a deranged individual
    Don’t miss a dose of your Haldol little man

    davidNOV 26, 2022 · 1:16PM

    The ability to read is one thing. But reading comprehension is quite another.
    Perhaps it’s the long term effects of alcohol and crack on the fetus, perhaps scio-economic factors, or just normal genetics.

  38. JeffNOV 26, 2022 · 12:12PM

    Notre Dame has to try and pound the running game down the Trojans throat all night long. If successful they will win by 10. If Rees let’s his ego get in the way by getting in a shootout they will lose big. Pound the rock!

    davidNOV 26, 2022 · 1:19PM

    An effective run game has many virtues…including controlling the clock, and keeping Williams off the field. .

  39. davidNOV 26, 2022 · 11:51AM

    Tempering expectations….

    A competitive game today would be quite satisfactory.
    8-4, with two [non-blowout..! ] losses to legit top 5 teams is not intolerable, for a program in a coaching transition, and with such a glaring weakness at QB.

    Michael+The+ArchangelNOV 26, 2022 · 2:40PM

    And one win against a current top 10 team that was top 5 when ND beat them, and soundly.

    davidNOV 26, 2022 · 9:09PM

    South Carolina is finishing the season crazy strong, but today does diminish ND’s victory over Clemson.
    This year’s Clemson ranking was classic ‘recency bias’.
