Everyone bow down to the legend - picks it pefect in his last show (including a massive upset by Florida St over Bama - Miami and LSU were also underdogs).

They should perpetually leave his chair empty on the set but they’ll probably give it to Herbstreits dog or pat’s ego.

It does kinda seem like they’re content with Saban and McAfee filling in…

Not everyone! Some of us are miserable rn lmao. Probably the most popular FBS team in North Dakota by some very large distance too.

I think you might be the only one on here…

This map has Oregon, Texas, and Nebraska as the favorite FBS teams in most of North Dakota with a few losers rooting for Wisconsin in three ZIP codes.

I don't really mind Notre Dame, but their fans can sure be pretty damned goofy. Much like a coon with rabies.

Notre Dame fans are insanely loyal. I never thought of them as rabid. They aren't like ohio state or Tennessee fans. Those fan bases are toxic.

Being the favorite FBS team in North Dakota is like being the favorite full-sized pickup truck in Belgium... not a big market for big-time college football compared to NDSU or the NFL.
