Wow, I didn't get in the college football playoff. Wow, it's everybody's fault here. Well, of course, teams are going to be upset because we have an indentational tournament. We don't have a decided this is the best 12 teams in the field, and it was designed that way by college football and whoever runs it because they're stupid. And we can all admit that where if you leave it up to the public, the public will pick out, trust me, the best 1216, 24 teams out there, and we will get a better playoff than what's. Instituted now, which is Joe continuous points out, rightfully so. Why are you having a playoff game that sits at 20.5 when if you inserted the right teams, we're under a touchdown or maybe even a field goal, if that. It's just the way it lays out right now. But the thing I get a kick out of is Notre Dame being upset. On 3 sports put out a tweet yesterday. It reads this way. Notre Dame AD Pete Pavacqua says the Irish were targeted by ACC social media campaigns pushing Miami. Over Notre Dame in the college football playoffs. Quote, we were definitely targeted. We bring tremendous football value to the ACC and we didn't understand why you go out of your way to try to damage us in the process. He's living so far in a glass house, he doesn't even recognize what the heck he's even talking about, Joe. It's simple. The ACC football teams don't include Notre Dame. Just because you play a handful of ACC teams. You're not in the ACC. You know, it's been funny, he should have said it also like, I can't even believe USC, who we play every single year, did not advocate for us nationally to be in the college football playoffs. Everybody sees through that. Nobody's taking Notre Dame's side now because that's really what they think inside the building. I can't believe the ACC put one of their members in over us because we let them play a couple of games with us per year. Stop the madness, Joe. Listen, every other sport at Notre Dame is involved with the ACC, Patty, right? They're all part of the conference. Except football here, and now listen, it has worked for you, right? You've gotten the benefit of the doubt for how many decades now, right? Since the NewtRockney days, I get it. But the reality is, it didn't work for you this year with the situation here. And what did you want exactly the ACC to do? They were. They knew they were in jeopardy of spending all that money and not getting anything back by not having a team in the postseason because they screwed up. And you lost to Miami, Donnie, so what was the choice exactly? Of course they were gonna go, all things being equal, to have Miami there. Even your so-called slight is absurd. What damage? Did you get exactly by the ACC going, hey, you know what, if it comes down to head to head, well, you know, Miami could very well be it. I, I just don't understand this whole outrage about how the ACC is permanently hurt. They're like, stop it. Everybody was expecting you to be in because you're Notre Dame, not because you earned it.
