This is fantastic.

All 11 defensive starters from Ohio State's CFP title game win over Notre Dame, 15 months later, have become NFL draft picks, none going lower than the fifth round. And that doesn't count Arvell Reese, who was rotating in as a backup. #NFLU

@notthefakeSVP @HiMyNameIsSeton Just watched this moment. This is why I am a devout follower of both of you. A true class act @notthefakeSVP. And @HiMyNameIsSeton you will be missed. My favorite Danette ever.

@HiMyNameIsSeton Sorry the connection was lousy. Hope the sentiment made it through.

@notthefakeSVP dude, thank you so much

The final averages for Notre Dame guard Hannah Hidalgo from one of the best seasons not just in Fighting Irish program history but in the history of the sport: 25.3 points 6.9 rebounds 5.6 steals 5.2 assists She's the only player this century to average 25/5/5/5. Special.

In the last 30 seasons, there have been three NCAA Tournament games (men's or women's) where a player has recorded 20+ points, 8+ rebounds & 8+ steals. @HannahHidalgo has all three ... this year. (via @OptaSTATS)

Over the last 30 seasons, there have been two NCAA Tournament (women's or men's) or NBA/WNBA playoff games in which a player recorded at least 20 points, eight rebounds and eight steals. They were both by Hannah Hidalgo in this year’s NCAA Tournament.

@HoltzHeroes We had a class together as Freshman. One day I came to class after injuring my hamstring in a semifinal dorm hoops game. Ray said he would help me play in the final. Ray was stuck after practice treating an injury. Came to the Rock & taped me up himself to play. Phenomenal dude.

Western Pennsylvania has forever been good to Notre Dame. Ray Zellars is one of many examples, but he was a special one. Happy birthday Ray, we love you and we’re proud of you. ☘️ 🏈 🌳

Notre Dame women’s basketball has 77 all-time NCAA Tournament wins. Niele Ivey has been with the Irish for 70 of them. Carol Owens for 72. Michaela Mabrey for 26. Charel Allen for 12. Carlos Knox for six. Elite coaching staff.

Not once, but twice! 🌎 Arike Ogunbowale followed up her game winner against UConn with another to win the national title against Mississippi State, forever cementing her place in history 🤩 #WFinalFour

In a world where you can be anything, be a number 50

@irishillustratd How can there not be one for when Mentock pronounces it "Eck-specially", eckspecially when it seems to be his favorite word and used in every other sentence?

Goodness. What a pathetic effort by 87 on Miami’s punt protection team.

I feel old....sh na na na na sha na na

This entire playoff is experimental. Things will change. Potential reseeding after round one. It may expand to 14 games. Change is inevitable. But let’s make one non negotiable rule — Indiana can never be invited again.
