On the one hand we’re being told Notre Dame is raiding the fridge, kicking dogs, banging wives, not paying rent, on the other hand we’re being told they have no leverage and are crawling back to USC to play a week 0 game in Mexico. A reminder words don’t have to mean anything.

History is forged at Notre Dame. #GoIrish☘️ | #NFLDraft

US fertility reached 1.57 last year, the lowest ever recorded, and the WSJ explanation is "uncertainty about finances, relationship stability, and the political climate" my great grandma had eleven children during the second world war, in a country being bombed, in a house with no running water, on rations. poor people have always had kids. the poorest people on earth right now still have kids and the financial excuse is a story we tell ourselves because it makes us feel good and the real one is unbearable the real mechanism is that we got rich enough to redefine children as an expense instead of the point. somewhere in the last fifty years the cultural goal inverted and a child stopped being what life is for and became a line item competing with the lifestyle. once you frame it that way the math never works, because the math isnt supposed to work. that's the point we are living in the richest moment in human history and we decided to use the surplus to buy ourselves out of the future. the most prosperous civilization that has ever existed is committing demographic suicide at the altar of personal optimization and comfort, and the official line is that we cant afford it the birthrate is a lagging indicator of a civilization that forgot why it was alive

Louis Leo “Lou” Holtz, legendary college football coach, Hall of Famer, bestselling author, and one of America’s most influential motivational voices, has passed away at the age of 89 in Orlando, Florida, surrounded by family. Born January 6, 1937, in Follansbee, West Virginia, Holtz rose from humble beginnings to become one of the most respected figures in college athletics. Over a remarkable five‑decade career, he led college programs at William & Mary, NC State, Arkansas, Minnesota, Notre Dame, and South Carolina.  He transformed every team he inherited and captured the 1988 National Championship with the Fighting Irish. Holtz was preceded in death by his beloved wife of more than 50 years, Beth, with whom he shared a life grounded in faith, devotion, and service.   Holtz is remembered for his enduring values of faith, family, service, and an unwavering belief in the potential of others. His influence extended far beyond the football field through the Holtz Charitable Foundation and the many players, colleagues, and communities shaped by his leadership. He is survived by his four children, nine grandchildren, and two great‑grandchildren. Funeral arrangements, including a Mass of Christian Burial at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart at the University of Notre Dame, will be announced as details are finalized. The Holtz Family

Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson are reportedly no longer dating.

#9 Alabama is just the second team in College Football history to finish in the AP Top 9 with four losses. They are the only team in the history of the AP poll to finish in the Top 9 with 4 losses and without winning the final game they played.

If you don’t know, now you know 🦅

In Alabama's last three games the offense had more carries (58) than rushing yards (48). That's disgusting.

The committee watched Bama blow a 17-0 lead to a terrible Auburn team, winning by 7 with 280 total yards and moved them ahead of ND. Then watched them embarrass themselves with -3 yards rushing and a 21 point loss to Georgia and did not drop them. Tonight’s rout is the result.
