In Case You Didn't Know.
While on post, a Sentinel from the U.S. Army's 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) exercises absolute post authority over the plaza at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, meaning their orders must be obeyed by all personnel regardless of civilian status or military rank.
Humble yourself. Not to the Guard, but to the locale. The meaning. The tomb. OUR Warriors who lay resting.
It is a solemn place. A place of respect. A place to focus. A place to assess.
No Rank Insignia on the mat: Sentinels wear blank uniforms without rank insignia while walking the mat. This intentional choice symbolizes that they do not outrank the unknown service members resting below, and it clarifies that their authority derives directly from the sacred nature of the post rather than personal rank.

The College Football Playoff committee is supposed to be the judge and jury of college football, but right now it looks like the SEC has stacked the jury, written the rules, and already decided the verdict.
9 of 13 committee members with SEC ties? How is the rest of college football supposed to trust that the playing field is level?
Here’s the problem: When SEC teams lose, it’s called a “quality loss.” When teams from other conferences lose, it’s used as a reason to eliminate them. Alabama and Georgia get the benefit of the doubt because of their reputation. SEC teams get rewarded for beating each other, then get excuses made for losing to each other. Meanwhile, teams from the ACC, Big 12, and other conferences are forced to defend their strength of schedule even when they’re winning.
You can’t keep preaching that every game matters while treating SEC losses differently from everyone else’s.
The CFP should be about who earned a playoff spot, not whose conference has the biggest brand, the most television money, or the most connections in the committee room.
When conference loyalty starts looking more important than competitive fairness, the credibility of the entire playoff system deserves to be questioned.
The SEC doesn’t need another advantage. It needs to be held to the same standard as everyone else.

If 2026 ND was under the helm of Charlie Weis, Florida would not have canceled, USC would not have canceled, IU would not have canceled
No team would run if ND was bad. These teams are looking the other way and pretending it's about conference nonsense
They're scared. Simple

Notre Dame deserves to be ahead of Miami.
In no universe does Bama and Texas deserve to be ahead of Miami.
In no universe does Bama deserve to be ahead of Notre Dame.

Weekly reminder that Hunter Yurachek’s athletics programs at Arkansas financially benefit when he gets more SEC teams into the top 12 through revenue sharing.

To all those years of hearing it...
“Join a conference.”
“Independence can’t survive.”
“Notre Dame will be forced to change.”
Well... here we are.
College football changed.
The postseason changed.
The conferences changed.
Notre Dame didn’t.
So today, we respectfully lay one of college football’s most exhausted arguments to rest.
Thanks for the memories.
Thanks for the concern.
And most of all, thanks for reminding us just how badly you wanted Notre Dame to need what everyone else needed.
They never did. ☘️
