Notre Dame fans could not believe their last 2023 football game was on Pac-12 Network
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish, the most famous football program in the United States, ended their 2023 season not on NBC or ABC or Fox, but on Pac-12 Network. We knew this game was going to be on Pac-12 Network, but a lot of casual fans did not. On this Thanksgiving weekend, they were probably visiting family and wanted to settle in on a Saturday and watch their Irish play Stanford. Boy, were they in for a surprise.
Notre Dame fans had to madly scramble for any outlet through which to gain access to Pac-12 Network. They learned about FuboTV. They might have had to go to a sports bar. Some of them, as you will see below, had to just bite the bullet and listen to a Notre Dame radio broadcast.
Just like the 1940s!
The reactions are pure comedy gold, and you can see for yourself:

Why is the Notre Dame game on the PAC-12 network? Which ND fan would have that?! pic.twitter.com/YJEIiEtv8W

ELUSIVE
The amount of research, phone calls and maneuvering my dad has done just to able to watch Notre Dame on the top secret Pac-12 Network deserves some kind of award. And so does the Pac-12 Network for being so impressively elusive. pic.twitter.com/AkrMseNAys

THANKFUL
If you’re still trying to watch the Notre Dame vs Stanford game:
Just do the Fubo TV free trial (Do the plan with more channels just to be safe)
And cancel it as soon as the game ends and be thankful that you’ll never have to see a Notre Dame game on the PAC-12 Network again!

Notre Dame was relegated to the PAC-12 Network for their game tonight. What a low point.

JOIN A CONFERENCE
Notre Dame’s game only available on PAC-12 Network is further proof that the Irish need to join a conference.

OFF WE GO
"If you would have told me this a year ago, I would have laughed you out of town – but here it is – Notre Dame and Stanford on the Pac-12 Network."
Pac-12 Network play-by-play guy (and Notre Dame graduate) Ted Robinson.
And off we go…

MADNESS
I'm sorry, you have to have the PAC-12 network to watch the Notre Dame game in Chicago?!
What kind of madness is this?!

GOOD RIDDANCE
Nice final “FU” from the PAC-12 to air Stanford-Notre Dame on the disaster of the Pac-12 Network. Good riddance!

TOO FUNNY
Notre Dame's rivalry game with Stanford is on the Pac-12 Network tonight. That's too funny.

FRUSTRATING
Last game of the season and most Notre Dame fans around the country can’t watch because it’s on the PAC-12 network which virtually no one carries. Frustrating. https://t.co/haD040u1Lf

LOL
Notre Dame being put on the Pac-12 Network is going to make so many 70 year olds who never stepped foot in South Bend extremely angry

RADIO REDISCOVERED
Because the Notre Dame game is on the PAC 12 network and no one has it I’m sitting on my couch following it via the radio call like a pilgrim.

TEST DRIVE
If you are a Notre Dame fan who thinks you have found a way to watch the Irish at Stanford tonight, now might be a good time to test drive your Pac-12 Network access.
Can you tune into Colorado at Utah? Just worth confirming.— Douglas Farmer (@D_Farmer) November 25, 2023
YUP
Notre Dame ended the PAC-12 Network with a beatdown of Stanford. Couldn’t be more fitting for the conference.#ndfootball
