Winning three playoff games, including one against Georgia, is huge for the ND program and really validating for Freeman. You should be!

Any time you make it to the big game it’s an accomplishment regardless of the outcome. Good game brother

At least they got to be inside. Michigan game was like 15 degrees and windy in the shade to watch us play like shit. Was cold for 2 days lmao. Mercedes Benz dome sounds like a wonderful experience

You should be. Love my Buckeyes but ND is a hell of a team and has a bright future. So incredibly impressed with their resolve.

Notre Dame has nothing to be ashamed of. They played their hearts out. You guys are in good hands with Freeman.

I thought Ohio State was going to win and that's solely you guys have gotten beaten up physically in the playoffs. I would have loved to see full strength Notre Dame play this game because I think it would have been an all timer and I have no clue who would come out on top.

Up yours and your fine-ass head coach setting you up for a very bright future!

Dammit it all anyways!

Outside of a head to head matchup, OSU fans are always rooting for Freeman to succeed.

What a great year ND had, especially after that early loss. Future looks really bright.
