It’s Stanford week.
Fittingly, tomorrow is the ten year anniversary of Notre Dame’s epic goal line stand against the Cardinal.
One of the greatest moments in the history of Notre Dame stadium.

In honor of Mike Brey's final home game tonight, let's look back on some of the best moments inside Purcell Pavilion during the Brey era.
Up first, the improbable 5OT win over Louisville in 2013. One of the most amazing comebacks you'll ever see.

After an eight-year career in the NFL, former Notre Dame DE Stephon Tuitt is retiring from football. One of the best defensive players we’ve seen in the Blue & Gold.

The

What’s the best way to make up for inexperience as a head coach?
Assembling a staff with two of the best veteran coordinators in the sport seems like a good start. Credit to Marcus Freeman and the administrators involved for getting the Denbrock hire over the line.
Out of all the twists and turns in the Peyton Bowen saga, Oklahoma publicly leveraging a 17-year old’s relationship to flip a commitment is by far the weirdest.
Will Fuller just reached an agreement with the Miami Dolphins. Feels like a good time to look back to 2015 against USC & Adoree Jackson - daps him up at the LOS then dusts him for a TD.
This is why we've been calling
@Kyrenwilliams23
"Franchise" for the past year.
A story in two parts. During the light show before the 4th quarter, UNC players came out and danced near midfield. ND players and coaches saw.
On ND’s first play from scrimmage, Franchise responded.
If Leonard's injury gets worse and he has to miss significant time, Notre Dame could redshirt him.
Then you have a QB competition next Spring with a vet. If Angeli/Carr/Minchey win out, RL leaves anyway. Or he improves and is much better in his second year in the system.

Sources tell On3 that Leonard is expected to play on Saturday at Purdue.

Up next, Notre Dame's win over No. 4 Duke in Jan 2015.
The Irish defeated the eventual national champs 77-73, but an underrated moment was seeing Jerian Grant and Pat Connaughton tell the crowd NOT to storm the court after the game. They expected to win. And did.

10 things to know:
This seems obvious, but it’s hard to overstate how important this OC hire is for Freeman’s tenure. Basically got a free pass last season with how it all transpired. Notre Dame can’t afford to mess it up again.

Terrible loss. Extremely disappointing season overall.
A lot for Marcus Freeman to evaluate in the offseason. The pressure will only get more intense, and the program has very little momentum.
If Knapp starts this season, he will become the third true freshman in four years to start at LT for

.
Only four offensive lineman started as true freshman from 2000-2020.
Notre Dame had its last open periods of practice on Thursday. Take this for what it’s worth.
Freshman Anthonie Knapp worked as the No. 1 left tackle over Tosh Baker.
The night before Notre Dame faced undefeated and No. 1 ranked Syracuse In 2012, Mike Brey showed his guys a video of former Irish teams upsetting No. 1s.
His team made history the next day, handing the Orange their first loss of the season after a 20-0 start.

needed to start pulling off big upsets on the recruiting trail to compete for national championships.
Marcus Freeman and the staff did exactly that with KVA. Massive, massive pickup for the Irish.
Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa commits to Notre Dame.
Massive recruiting win over Ohio State and USC for Marcus Freeman and the entire Irish recruiting operation for the four-star linebacker.
Georgia Tech week.
It’s been 15 years, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Calvin Johnson still feels the effects from this hit by Chinedum Ndukwe.

Vegas is right about a lot of things. But setting Notre Dame’s season win total at 8.5 was laughable at the time, and hilarious now.
Cash those checks.
10 days ‘til Notre Dame takes on archrival USC. It’s been 1,781 days since the Trojans last beat the Irish, and it won’t be long before that number gets over 2,000.

Notre Dame means everything to a lot of people. Great to see that, like his assistant coaches, Marcus Freeman falls within that lot of people. Great Day to be Irish.
Virginia week. Remember what happened the last time the Irish visited Charlottesville?
Let’s hope Saturday is a little less nerveracking.

Sources: Notre Dame has landed a commitment from Australian punter James Rendell, the 23-year-old son of late Australian rules football legend Matt Rendell.
In Notre Dame's first ACC Conference game, Brey and the Irish knocked off one of the conference's premier heavyweights in No. 7 Duke.
It was the first time Coach K ever lost to a former assistant, and the first of six wins for Mike Brey over Coach K.

Watching college football *experts* react so strongly to a rule that’s been in place since the CFP first decided to expand because of this tweet has been wild.
This isn’t new, nor is it the big disadvantage it’s being made out to be. You’re telling on yourself.
The new College Football Playoff will put the 4 highest ranked conference champions as seeds 1 through 4.
That means that even if Notre Dame is the
#1
ranked team in the country, they would get the
#5
seed, requiring them to win 4 straight games to win a title.
That's brutal.
Tomorrow! Notre Dame OC Tommy Rees joins the show to discuss his approach heading into camp, structuring his playbook, evaluating QB prospects, and shares some great stories from his playing career.
Thank you, seniors.
And thank you, 12.
This season was a fun ass ride. Thanks to everyone who joined in on the fun with us. Plenty more in store this off-season.

Arnaz Battle days away from kickoff in Columbus.
20 years ago, the Irish went on the road as double-digit underdogs and scored on the first play from scrimmage en route to a dominant win over FSU. Can the Irish pull off another road upset on Saturday?
This. Resilient players in that locker room. Cannot believe ND found a way to win that game, but that’s the make up of kids in that locker room right now. Incredibly impressive.
We should be at Lambeau Field right now getting ready to watch the Irish beat Wisconsin. A few Miller Lites deep, just an hour north of the Miller brewery. A GameDay for the ages.
Absolutely criminal this opportunity was taken from us.
