All the bad breaks at the exact right time. They just weren't supposed to win. No way they beat MSU next week. 0-3. Makes you wonder if it is meant for ND to make a come back.

Can see the finish line from here... Just need a couple more seasons of suckitude from the Irish, then NBC slashes their contract to peanuts and knocks them to some obscure cable channel. Then the baseless hype season after season can calm down a bit.

They'll beat MSU, I think. I could see 9-3 happening because their schedule is so favorable.

If they didn't when they only won 2-3 games that season, why would they now?

NBC is not going to get any other sort of college television deal or games with the other conferences, cutting the one tie it actually has to college football would just lose them even more money

They have finally po'd TD Jesus. Wouldn't bother me if they didn't win another game ever. They'll still rake in the money, though.

MSU is better than Michigan is, so I don't think so.

They'll get beat by MSU...in another heartbreaker. They just can't seem to win the close ones. I'm thinking 8-4 (losses to Mich State and Stanford).

I'm talking consistent losing to the point where ND ratings tumble regularly.

they'd likely have to go like 1-3 wins for like 5 or 6 straight seasons then


that's asking the whole cities of New York City, Chicago, and Indianapolis (among other markets) to dry up and lose all interest in the team

MSU is good and will win by at least 10 points. USC will beat ND too. No way they beat STandford. So that's 5 losses not even counting if they slip up again. ND is just a 6-8 win team. They have been for several years.
