Ryan Clark Talks About Road Trip to Notre Dame...
As 2025 started on @thepivot I reflected on one of my favorite days of 2024. Early January we piled in a car & left Tempe AZ for Southern Bend Indiana. 26 hours of open road & family.

Notre Dame's the TALK on "X" Right Now!!!
Never thought I’d see this. I picked @NDFootball to win, but never thought I’d see them do it this way. @GeorgiaFootball cannot get them off the field. They cannot stop Notre Dame’s running game. They can’t get the ball back.#Damn

SEC apologist @GregMcElroy desperately trying to justify the totally bias penalty when the rules expert is telling him he's wrong is terribly embarrassing for McElroy. What a shill for the SEC

This was no fluke. Notre Dame was a straight up better team than Georgia tonight.
— College Football Watcher (@CFBWatcher) January 3, 2025
They looked more physical. They looked more athletic. They were more creative.
And, maybe craziest, Marcus Freeman easily outcoached Kirby Smart

College football is better when Notre Dame is good.

Everyone makes fun of them, but they’re an iconic program with the best fight song in America.
I miss playing them, even if @Brady_Quinn was mean in ‘06. pic.twitter.com/BYuce33u7r

Honestly believe college football is much better when @NotreDame is great. Not just about football. This was a beat down. They are sooooo well coached.

Indiana did not deserve the vitriol it received during and after its first-round CFP loss to Notre Dame.
— Nicole Auerbach (@NicoleAuerbach) January 3, 2025
It’s quite possible that the Hoosiers’ only losses this season came to the two best teams in college football.
This young man is an incredible student-athlete and an even better young man. He can do it all! https://t.co/Y0qZSnbm62

Think it’s about time we put some respect on Riley Leonard’s name. He has Notre Dame two wins away from winning a title. Money well spent ☘️

Marcus Freeman took a job that Brian Kelly ran from and has elevated it above where he found it...Well done sir! Great leader with an outstanding culture @NDFootball

Independence Has Its Benefits for Notre Dame
Every team that made the College Football Playoff semi-final has earned $14M in payouts for their conferences.

As an independent, Notre Dame's win over Georgia just put the Fighting Irish at $14M, too—all for themselves. pic.twitter.com/AzPAE1ZkFl

What a moment for Notre Dame. Thirty years of "they're a fraud, they're overrated, they never win the big one, etc."
— Stewart Mandel (@slmandel) January 3, 2025
Doesn't get more definitive than hammering the SEC champion/recent two-time national champ in a Playoff game.
Literally tearing up watching the players sing to their fans @NDFootball #NotreDameOurMother ☘️☘️☘️
— Hannah Storm (@HannahStormESPN) January 3, 2025
Notre Dame, the team Brian Kelly left behind because he didn’t believe he could win the big game there, just won a bigger game in the state of Louisiana than he has in 3 years at LSU.
— Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) January 3, 2025
Notre Dame has so many former players kids that play for them. Speaks to the environment that Marcus has Created that former NFL dads trust their son to him.
— Booger (@ESPNBooger) January 2, 2025
I didn’t think Marcus Freeman would have the energy to produce this reaction after that game.
— Kyle Kelly (@ByKyleKelly) January 3, 2025
But he did.
This is the man who took the Notre Dame football program to the next level.https://t.co/HBDwEzBmvr pic.twitter.com/x3xHTUTOIY

A "Transfer Portal" Playoff Win for the Fighting Irish!
Look at who made the big plays today:
- R.J. Oben -- sack before halftime that led to the fumble recovery
- Mitch Jeter -- makes all three field goals from 40+ !!!
- Riley Leonard -- TD pass and running...
- Beaux Collins -- TD catch prior to halftime
- Jayden Harrison -- TD kick-off return
- Rod Heard II -- big pass break up on 4th down in the 4th quarter
All were transfer portal pick-ups for the Fighting Irish!!!
Go Irish! --- beat Penn State!!!
