And just like that, the “Notre Dame Things” bracket comes to an end. Congratulations to all the competitors on a fantastic inaugural tournament. And while the end may have been anticlimactic — the No. 1-overall seed won in comfortable fashion over the No. 2-overall seed; sound familiar? — the journey there was fun, and that’s all we can ask for.
So three cheers for the Golden Dome, the odds-on favorite that lived up to expectations and left no doubt. But Touchdown Jesus will rise again on the third day and come back for revenge next year.
