A "made for Peacock" moment like none other -- until we play a game in St. Peter's Square (Vatican)...

Once Again -- Notre Dame Plays Top Schedule
Just took a look at the release of the first College Football Coaches Poll for the 2021 season -- to see which school is taking on the most ranked opponents in the TOP TWENTY. Here are the Top 20 teams "re-ranked" in the order of games against other top 20 teams this season.
This is the story -- much in the media choose not talk about -- when they start ranting about Notre Dame needing to join a conference.
WHY -- so we can play an easier schedule?
- NOTRE DAME* -- 4 opponents (avg. rank: #12)
- ALABAMA -- 4 opponents (avg. rank: #12)
- INDIANA -- 4 opponents (avg. rank: #13)
- PENN STATE -- 4 opponents (avg. rank: #14)
- IOWA -- 4 opponents (avg. rank: #15)
- IOWA STATE -- 3 opponents
- FLORIDA -- 3 opponents
- LSU -- 3 opponents
- WISCONSIN -- 3 opponents
- OKLAHOMA -- 2 opponents
- OHIO STATE -- 2 opponents
- GEORGIA -- 2 opponents
- TEXAS A&M -- 2 opponents
- NORTH CAROLINA -- 2 opponents
- CINCINNATI -- 2 opponents
- MIAMI -- 2 opponents
- TEXAS -- 2 opponents
- CLEMSON -- 1 opponent
- OREGON -- 1 opponent
- USC -- 1 opponent
*Notre Dame is ranked as the toughest schedule among the TOP TWENTY -- winning the tie-breaker with Alabama, since the Fighting Irish play two teams in the TOP TEN versus just one for Bama...

The Notre Dame grad won the first GOLD MEDAL EVER in her sport in American history...
By Golly Molly -- You Can't Make This Up!
I've been without a laptop for the past seven days -- sorry I've been amiss in reporting on Notre Dame!
The Olympic games proved quite successful for the Fighting Irish with a number of former student-athletes winning medals over the few weeks in Tokyo.
But, one story sticks out for me -- MOLLY SEIDEL.
Who has ever competed for just the THIRD TIME ever in their event -- and runs away with an Olympic Medal? NO ONE, until Molly Seidel. Here's some of the coverage of her Olympic journey...

OT: USA Olympics Gear = "Dots and Stripes"
I absolutely loved the concept of the golf shirt that the American team wore during Sunday's final round -- not the execution. (click on above image to enlarge)
You have to ask why did Adidas and their Tokyo based designer Hiroko Takahashi place "dots" instead of STARS on this shirt?
Huge miss!
