I came back to this today just to marvel at how far we've come from where we were after NIU. The run we're on right now didn't seem possible at the darkest moment of the Freeman era.
I've been a fan for my entire life, and I was 13 when Notre Dame won their last National Championship. I'm not sure I've ever had such a whiplash effect in a season, going from the future is bright (for this team in the short term and for this coaching staff in the long term) to doom and despair for the current regime. This was up there with the worst losses that I can remember, worse than the 2002 BC debacle, worse than any of the sad sack defeats to UConn and Syracuse on the tail end of the Charlie Weis era, worse than 2007 Navy, worse than any of the disasters from the 2016 season. It was all there in front of us this year and we blew it. I don't know how Freeman comes back from this.

It's bad out here, but I have some glimmer of hope. Steve Angeli, perhaps?
