Pitt vs ND: Oct. 28th

I noticed that Notre Dame is playing six ACC teams this year instead of their standard four. I guess two are non-rotational games?
Edit: Looks like they played five in 2021. Maybe that's just how the numbers work out and I'm stupid.

They're alternating six and four to average five through 2025. Averaging five is the current agreement I think. They also agreed to keep the Boston College Shamrock series game as neutral site, including Fenway Park, even when it is supposed to be a Notre Dame home game.
I know people are very critical of ND for having a special deal, but it's still pretty good for the ACC I think.
ND signed 2 contracts regarding their 5 ACC games per year. The first contract from 2014 to 2025 and the 2nd from 2026 to 2037. Both for 60 games. In the 2nd contract EVERY YEAR is 5 games. In the first contract, Notre Dame had a few schools that did not cooperate with them in terms of rescheduling. Therefore, ND has 6 yrs of 5 ACC opponents, 3 yrs of only 4, and 3 years of 6. That balances/averages out for 5 games.

Too bad BOTH ND and West Virginia are away. When we were in the Big East, they made every attenpt fot the 2 games to be opposite in home and away, but it did not always wwork, as ND averaged 6 to 8 games a decade in scheduling Pitt, and that goes back even further when Pitt was independent and we played PSU, ND, and WVU about EVERY year
Thanks, thats more detail than I had read. 2037 sounds like science fiction to me.
Look online at FBS Schedules and you will see what ND had up to 2037. THey HAD to do this for the 14 other AD's to be able to schedule ahead
It would have been better to force ND into a conference years ago, because they might have chosen the ACC. Now, they wouldn't choose the ACC and it's inevitable for them to eventually join the BigTen or SEC.
I just hope we can make some field goals…Be prepared to beat the Refs that day too.

Our kickers haven't done us any favors up there, either. In spite of that horrific call, didn't Cummings or whoever it was still have a chance to kick like a 37-yarder for the win? And then Kessman missed two field goals in a 5-point loss there in 2018.
Also... we're lucky WVU '07 didn't become a .gif. There were about five plays just like that. Big East officials tried their darndest toward the end... can't fault them for a lack of effort or inability to follow the instructions they were given. We had to win that game like three times.
Thanks for making my blood boil again.Be prepared to beat the Refs that day too.
Waiting to the resident ND trolls to pop in and let us know it was a good call because we can't see the interference from this angle....Be prepared to beat the Refs that day too.
