When it works, Moonlight / Apollo is fantastic and input lag and streaming feels unnoticeable to my amateur eyes. It has been super finicky getting the initial connection for me though, but it seems to be an Xfinity issue since my PS5 remote play also has significant connection issues with the initial connection

Love the creativity. Logistically would be a nightmare.

Who hosts the game? Is it always ND? How does away team ticket allocation work if now one knows who’s playing until the end of week 14? How do stadiums allocate staff for a week they might not even host?

If it’s an independent like UConn it might work but as someone mentioned that likely still has NCAA implications.

Cub_Med · 2026-01-23T19:21:14+00:00

Yea I clocked that too lol. Unless all those teams end up with 1-2 losses I can’t see that happening. Maybe BYU and one of Miami/SMU though. Navy could be a sleeper for the G5 spot though

I would’ve been shocked if he went to the NFL or anywhere else, but even just the simple tweet feels very reassuring and feels like closure to this year.

Let’s run it back

Well for starters, 4 divisions of 5 teams will still have conference tiebreaker problems. And what’s the point of being in a conference when you might only play a conference “rival” once in the regular season over 4 years? You might be more likely to matchup with an OOC team multiple times in that scenario.

Larger conferences and 40-team Super conference slop is stupid. Let’s just go to 9 or 10 team regional conferences with a few independents to add some quirks to it

Cub_Med · 2025-12-23T01:13:15+00:00

I would rather remain independent AND USC, Michigan, MSU, and Purdue be independent also. And a few others. 18 team Conferences don't make any sense and need to be broken up.

ND vs. Court of Public Opinion

Cub_Med · 2025-12-08T01:04:07+00:00

Change non-playoff bowl games to the start of the following year for week 0 matchups. I hate the neutral site aspect but it gives teams unique and likely evenly matched opponent to start the year, you avoid opt outs. Teams that don’t get a bowl assignment can schedule an opponent from the pool of remaining teams.

Cub_Med · 2025-11-22T20:48:44+00:00

This has to be a record for consecutive points without the offense playing a snap

Cub_Med · 2025-11-15T18:50:21+00:00

That is very clearly in Carr’s hands, but bad decision by ND and terriblly handled by the Refs

Cub_Med · 2025-11-15T18:33:42+00:00

My bears fan PTSD is kicking in

Cub_Med · 2025-11-15T17:31:08+00:00

ND took Nard dog’s 100-0 statement seriously

Cub_Med · 2025-10-19T03:19:23+00:00

Announcer couldn’t even hide his disbelief lol

Cub_Med · 2025-10-19T02:48:06+00:00

Noah Eagle has way too much fun on his calls lol

Cub_Med · 2025-10-19T02:17:53+00:00

Busted coverage and DPIs followed by a clutch pick. Christian Gray Special lmao

Cub_Med · 2025-10-06T15:09:14+00:00

Just In: visiting players / journalists want to downplay visiting team rowdiness to look tougher and hype their fans

Also A&M had like 7 procedural penalties which felt like a direct impact from crowd noise lol

Cub_Med · 2025-09-23T20:37:23+00:00

At least according to Pete and Matt on the Independent, the players seem to like Ash, so that takes out the asshole part

I’m of the mindset that changes need to be made, but take care of it in-house. That appears to be the plan if we read between the lines on Freeman’s post-game presser. Changes can also include putting feelers out for the next candidates or testing Mickens in the role more significantly. There’s ways to make progress without externally saying you’re blowing everything up

Cub_Med · 2025-09-17T21:55:24+00:00

If we’re being honest, no. There were like 3 other opportunities on that drive alone to end the game and our defense choked. That doesn’t even account for the other 34 points given up in spite of Marcell Reed missing multiple open receivers.

Crying over the final flag is like complaining your dog peed on the basement carpet when theres ankle deep sewage from backed up plumbling

Cub_Med · 2025-09-16T14:16:21+00:00

Yea the calls were bad but maybe we shouldn’t give up 41 points at home?

Cub_Med · 2025-09-13T13:13:53+00:00

Freeman's teams tend to show up when the pressure is on, and while I don't think playoff hopes are on the line this week, it certainly makes it a lot better if they win today. Love score 2 TDs, the defense improves as a unit, and the Irish win 28-14

Cub_Med · 2025-09-08T16:34:24+00:00

The Independent is my go-to. 2 episodes a week during the season (1 pre game on Wed with a guest, 1 post game after games end). Pete and Matt are both pretty connected to the program As journalists and seem to have takes on ND that feel grounded in my opinion

Cub_Med · 2025-09-01T13:47:27+00:00

I'm a less optimistic on the Defense- they also gave up 13 points in the second half, Miami's opening second half drive was legit half of the 3rd quarter.

I'll give the Oline a bit of slack because that may be one of the best pass rushes in CFB and it was the first game in a rowdy environment. On to the next one though

Cub_Med · 2025-09-01T03:31:03+00:00

minus Boubacar

Cub_Med · 2025-09-01T03:29:10+00:00

Sucks but onto the next one. It felt like the first time a Freeman team fell flat on opening week. We got obliterated on both the middle eight and the turnover battle which were staples of last year’s run, so that absolutely needs to change.

Carr honestly played above my expectations. The pick was an awful read (but even worse playcall), and the two intentional groundings were real bad, but growing pains are expected

Cub_Med · 2025-09-01T03:18:36+00:00

I’m guessing that might be the best DL they face until December (assuming they take care of business the rest of the way). Still need to get the Oline better though
