The only reason Notre Dame is not in a conference is because we like to play our rivalry games with BC, Pitt, USC, and the service acadamies, and we like to try to keep a national schedule with non-rivalry teams such as Tennessee. If the football program was a full member of the Big 10 most of...

You do realize that the only way that the new plan is financially better for ND than the 2005 set-up is if ND goes to fewer than 1 BCS bowl in 9-10 years. If (When) we do better than that the old plan would have been MUCH more rewarding financially. Also, how is an automatic BCS berth for being...

I'm from Ringgold, does that count? :biggrin2: Does anyone else still think the city should have left MLK and McCallie one way? The one-way streets worked nicely and gave us 8 lanes of good, 35MPH arterial traffic capacity, and now we have this crap of parking on McCallie so whenever some...

Oh come on, its no more crap than conference teams receiving money when THEY don't play in a BCS game, or conferences getting automatic berths. The only truly fair way to do it would be for every team to enter the BCS purely on ranking. That won't happen, though, because the bowl games...

And why does Weis look better to the NFL than Willingham? The same reasons I said Weis looked better to ND than Willingham, and the same reason that ND rewarded Weis with a pay increase and longer contract.

I'm not sure if you can really compare the two though. If I am not mistaken, Cooper was fired because of problems off the field as well as a sorry record vs. Michigan and at bowl games. Willingham definitely didn't have any problems off the field, and he barely had a problem with bowl...

Yeah Yeah, keep rubbing it in <cough>Vanderbilt</cough>. But on the topic of Ty/Willingham you can&#39;t compare the USC loss of this year and the loss last year. Video replay and bad calls aside, that was a very close, very good ballgame, completely different frm the streamrolling that was...

I am not saying that Notre Dame players are perfect or anywhere near it, they are people just as USC and UT and everybody else&#39;s players are. But, unlike USC and UT, if they are caught comitting a criminal act, they are strictly reprimanded, no matter their position on the depth chart. I...

Oh come on, you know as well as I do that Willingham&#39;s wins were mostly lucky breaks and smoke-and-mirrors BS. You can watch his first season games vs. this season games and see a HUGE difference in the way the team plays. Even with the number of mental mistakes in the Stanford game (my God...

Nowhere did I say that winning football games wasn&#39;t an important thing. This campus is still split up over the Ty Willingham thing and I just do not understand it. Notre Dame wanted a good football coach and Tyrone wasn&#39;t delivering. Yes he was a very honorable man, but he just...

There we go, thats what separates the Irish from the USC and UT&#39;s of the world (what UT has turned into in the past few years I should say), we care more about our guys as people than as football players. They take the same classes, eat the same DH food, and live in the same dorms as...

What&#39;s with all the hate? I think some of y&#39;all would root for Florida or &#39;Bama over ND sometimes... geez I was rooting for UT for 10 out of 11 weeks this year (I wish I could get more of the games, the past three havent been on up in South Bend) and you can be sure I&#39;d be all...
