Once again, Colin Cowherd is talking out of his sphincter when it comes to Notre Dame

NOTRE DAME NOISE

There is something about Notre Dame Football that makes people kind of crazy. In fact — they lose all sense of reality. Some don’t even pretend that they are living in reality. And that, my friends, is where Colin Cowherd resides. Cowherd tries to come off as a college football expert, but all he has are the same lukewarm takes about the sport that he’s had for over 20 years. He’s full of shit because he talks directly out of his ass. Cowherd has always been an unofficial mouthpiece for USC, and now he’s doing the PR work for a couple of cowards in Lincoln Riley and Jen Cohen. He just basically slandered Pete Bevacqua by quoting the Notre Dame athletic director with a FAKE quote about how Notre Dame is struggling to schedule teams. This is why he believes USC has some kind of leverage over Notre Dame — if that even matters at this point (which they don’t and it doesn’t). Insert something about cold weather and the overinflation of the importance of a playing a conference opponent as opposed to a the same opponent being out of conference, and you have the same tired formula from the orange fool of the west coast.

Notre Dame is killing it on the recruiting trail, and it’s going to get even better over the next two months. You don’t need to take my word for it (although maybe you should as I am a worldly man with worldly knowledge) but you can listen to a handful of others about just how good things are right now under Marcus Freeman.
