As we head through what should be an interesting and fun Notre Dame Fighting Irish season, I will be compiling and explaining away takes after seeing some WILD OVERREACTIONS to the game. These will mostly come from takes, emotions, and thoughts I see or hear during the games or immediately following games.

On Saturday night, the Irish FINALLY got a marquee road game win to open the season. The game was close, and the team ended up having A TON of tenacity,. imposing a will to win over TAMU. We finally see the Irish succeed in a situation where they would historically fall short. NOT THIS TIME.

Regardless of an awesome win, we see overreactions, both positive and negative, in all Notre Dame games. Here are a few that stood out from those that are mad online (yours truly included).

ND vs. TAMU Online Overreactions

If your takeaway from last night is focused on “Weigman sucks/played bad” and not what his opponent did I would recommend firing up the game from last year where the Heisman winning number one pick was seeing ghosts for 60 minutes. https://t.co/cYi5jVqG5z

This is one that isn’t necessarily someone mad online in the moment, Our friend, RakesofMallow, points out something that I would say many people had thought of as a part of a kneejerk reaction. Conner Weigman, A&M’s quarterback, did NOT have a good night, but he might not be the true issue. He struggled, but the Notre Dame defense absolutely DOMINATED the whole night. They only gave up one TD late in the game, and they had even the haters recognizing that they were a CFP-caliber defense. Give some props to the defense.

Is it too early to say that Angeli would’ve made that pass or…?

You all hopefully know by now that I will call myself out. I’ll do it here, too. I wasn’t a fan of the Riley Leonard transfer because I thought the Irish had a strong enough QB room already, especially with CJ Carr coming to the team. I was skeptical of Leonard, but he truly seems to get it. Plus, the guy is TOUGH AS NAILS. I do love the way that he plays and understands the culture of the team. Last night, he did struggle at the start, and I fed into the remaining skepticism I had. I have to put that to bed. Things should work itself out especially with how comfortable he will be with the team. Leonard is a true gamer, and he is a great leader, clearly.

We have all seen this, but it is worth noting here because it’s a WAY early overreaction. People thought because it was Kyle Field the Irish would fold and couldn’t win, let alone cover 3 points. Simply: the joke is on all y’all.

See you all next week for overreactions from the NIU game

Texas A&M is reportedly close to hiring its new defensive staffer

Texas A&M is reportedly close to hiring its new defensive staffer

The staff shake-up continues amid CFP preparation, as Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko is reportedly adding another to his staff.

Soon after the news that the Aggies were expecting to hire former Arkansas defensive coordinator Travis Williams, Matt Zenitz of 247Sports reported that former Rutgers co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Zach Sparber would be added to the staff in some capacity. Sparber is very familiar with new Texas A&M DC Lyle Hemphill, having worked with him at JMU and Duke.

It is an interesting hire, as similar to Travis Williams, Sparber is also coming off a defensive staff that was let go after bottom-of-the-conference defensive performances. However, before joining the staff at Rutgers, he helped James Madison’s team rank 21st nationally in scoring defense as the linebackers coach. While his official role has not yet been announced, his experience with Hemphill should help with continuity heading into next season.

No. 7-seed Texas A&M hosts the No. 10 Miami Hurricanes (10-2) in a CFP first-round game at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 20, at Kyle Field. The game can be viewed on ABC/ESPN.

Miami rattled off four straight wins to close the season and showed the kind of explosive scoring offense required to stack up with Texas A&M, scoring 34-plus points in each of those four wins. The Canes closed the season with a 38-7 blowout win over then-No. 23 Pitt to strengthen their CFP case.

14-year-old suspect in deadly North Texas shooting taken into custody in Dallas, police say

The 14-year-old wanted in the deadly shooting of a man in Collin County over the weekend is in custody, police said.

Lavon police said Monday night that the teenage boy was taken into custody in Dallas without incident.

Police say the shooting happened Saturday night, just before 9 p.m. on Wellington Drive in Lavon, when an argument broke out between the 14-year-old suspect and a 24-year-old acquaintance.

Police say that the altercation turned deadly. The teen shot and killed the 24-year-old before fleeing the scene.

“A murder is a very rare thing in our city, so it’s shocking,” said J. Michael Jones, the Lavon Chief of Police. “And it’s even more shocking that this suspect is a 14-year-old.”

Community ISD confirmed the suspect is a student at Community Trails Middle School, where district leaders took extra precautions in case he is still in town.

Earlier Monday, Jones urged the suspect and anyone helping him to turn him in, saying, “I will find you. I will investigate you, and I will put you in jail.”

Lavon police thanked the community and several law enforcement agencies for their help with the investigation, including the Collin County District Attorney’s Office, the Texas Department of Public Safety, the Louisiana State Police, the Collin County Sheriff’s Office, the Dallas County Sheriff’s Office, the Community Independent School District Police Department, the Lavon Fire Department, and many others.
