Watch: Notre Dame’s ‘Dream On’ CFP Stadium Entrance vs Indiana
Notre Dame ramped up the production value for this history-making event
I’d like to take a moment to recognize and acknowledge all of the universities and campuses that hosted first round CFP games last weekend.
With very short notice and a lack of normal resources due to the holiday season, these schools did a wonderful job of preparing their campuses to entertain hundreds of thousands of fans at a time when campuses are normally largely vacant.
This sentiment applies especially to Notre Dame. The Irish production of this event was very well done. Notre Dame pulled out all the stops to create a unique, special one of a kind experience for those fortunate enough to have a ticket to the first-ever CFP game played in the house Rockne built.
College football is better on campuses
One of the very best things about college football and a big reason many people prefer it over the professional game is the pageantry. The nostalgia and mystique that comes with the feel of a big college football game on your team’s campus.
I always feel like it’s a shame when some major clashes in college football are moved to what I deem to be cold, professional venues that lack any collegiate feel and personality.
I realize it is a huge logistical undertaking to host this high-profile of an event under such short notice, but I wish there were a way to make this upcoming round of CFP games on campuses. There’s just nothing quite like it in sports.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A firefighter for the Indianapolis Fire Department was sent to the hospital Wednesday after battling a fire at a vacant house.
According to a Facebook post made by IFD, the fire happened around 10:15 a.m. at a house on Bluff Rd. IFD says that there were several complications, including limited access to fire hydrants and “interior hoarder conditions” that IFD says was due to squatters.
The injured firefighter received “slight injury,” the Facebook post said.
It took over an hour and a half to get the fire under control, according to IFD, and another hour to put out all the remaining hot spots in the building.
According to IFD, the cause of the fire is currently unknown. Their Fire Investigations Unit is working on figuring out what caused the fire.
