No. 13 Notre Dame-Navy: Pregame buzz on social media
After a long offseason of entrances and exits from the transfer portal, assistant coaching changes, and a star-studded freshman class join the fold.
The Sam Hartman era (or season) is upon us and for one, I couldn’t be more excited. Notre Dame doesn’t have sky-high expectations this year – from a national perspective anyway – but this team has a chance to do something really special.
We’ve been waiting for this since the clock hit 0:00 against South Carolina in the Gator Bowl in late December. As you could probably expect, the pregame buzz is already strong on social media ahead of Notre Dame’s opener against Navy.
Check out some of the best below:

The last time ... just sayin'
The last time Notre Dame started their season in Ireland vs. Navy, they went undefeated in the regular season and competed for the championship.
The last time Notre Dame was ranked #13 in the AP preseason poll, they went undefeated and won the championship.

Thinking Down the Road
The next time Notre Dame football plays an international game it should be in France to honor the French heritage. Play Army or Navy near Normandy or in Paris
