You forgot the shot at ND for not getting Meyer and getting stuck with such an inferior coach like Weis. Other than that, nail on the head.buckeye_in_sc wrote:Cicero wrote:T-Bag will respond with:GATORS - Esp now that Meyer is their coach.

Works for me. Heck, maybe we should cut Texas loose from the rest of the U.S.A. Don't know what language they speak down there, but it sure as hell doesn't sound anything like English to me.e wrote:from what i've read, if the state of texas were removed from the USA, BTH wouldn't shed a tear

Sincerly,
1998 ND team (9 wins and no BCS bid)
2002 ND team (10 wins and no BCS bid)
Their deal is basically set up as if they are in a conference, which they should be in the first place.Harvdog wrote:I would recheck your numbers on that deal. This pretty much says it all
Once. He took over during probation but it was not from his administration as HC that the penalties were levied.Terry in Crapchester wrote:In order:
4. Oklahoma. This board seems to think that this program is God's gift to college football. And why they revere a coach who got the program put on probation not once, but twice, is completely beyond me.

Yes, the BCS is one reason. Their new deal is set up just as any conference members deal is.Terry in Crapchester wrote:Why should ND be in a conference? Because of the BCS? Talk about the tail wagging the dog.
I don't think the BCS is reason enough to join a conference, particularly when others have stated here their belief that the BCS might no longer be in existence five years down the road.MuchoBulls wrote:Yes, the BCS is one reason.

I have a few problems with this.Secondly, I know ND loves to point to their status and tradition as an independent program. The problem with that is that times change and holding on to traditions can become a deterrent. ND has gone on record as saying that they will ease their scheduling in the future. Joining a conference, especially the Big East, would certainly help them there and then they could play 4 OOC games against teams that they have rivalries with. Here is an example of what ND's schedule could look like while being a member of the Big East:
Conference Games - Louisville, Pitt, Rutgers, UConn, Syracuse, West Virginia, Cincinnati, USF.
OOC Games - Michigan, USC, and then any of these 2: Navy, Michigan State, Purdue
True, but ND doesn't need to join the Big East in order to accomplish this.ND wanted to play regional games in NY and Orlando. This can be accomplished by being in the Big East. You could play either Rutgers, or UConn in NY and you could play USF in Orlando.
Last part of that sentence is probably the most compelling argument in favor of ND joining a conference. Holding on to a specific tradition for the sake of that tradition runs the risk of making your program obsolete.Yes, I know the opponents in those locales aren't exactly appealing to ND, but while they love to hold on to their traditions, there comes a point in time when you have to create new ones as well.

And yes, some Oklahoma fans have an inflated idea of the program's value right now.

IN 2002, they lost to tough ole BYU, Purdue, by 25, Boston College, AT HOME, lost to Pitt., SERIOUSLY punked by USC, and had the usual win against Navy, Army, etc, finishing with a 5 - 5 record, and smacked down by Oregon State in the Toilet Bowl. So, the "10 win" thing is a HUGE lie.
They didn't belong in the BCS.
Man, I hate Domer Homers.
Get it?
What's that they say about a little knowledge being a dangerous thing? The 1998 season also included wins against Michigan (ranked #5 at the time) and LSU. We lost to Georgia Tech by only 7.Roger_the_Shrubber wrote:Well, in 98, ND lost to USC and MSU, and huge wins against Baylor, Army, etc.....then got punked by Ga.

Nice recap, Rog -- of the 2004 season (except for the fact that we finished 6-5, didn't play Army, and beat Michigan and Tennessee along the way). Unfortunately, I was talking about 2002.

I'm not saying that they did. Rather, I brought up those two seasons to refute Harvdog's ridiculous claims that, inter alia, "the BCS coddles Notre Dame," "nine wins and Notre Dame is in the BCS", etc., etc.They didn't belong in the BCS.
Man, I hate Domer Homers.

And that rivalry is due to continue for the long term. There was some updated future scheduling news in today's St. Petersburg Times concerning ND and the Big East.Terry in Crapchester wrote:the only Big East team with whom ND currently has a rivalry its fan base will embrace is Pitt.
One of the things I learned in researching the entire Big East situation is that a conference has to have at least six members playing together for a minimum of five years in order to have an automatic bid in the NCAA basketball tournament. Imho, that's the reason behind the Big East adding DePaul and Marquette in addition to Louisville, Cincinnati and South Florida. The thinking is that a split in the Big East is inevitable, and this way, if the members can keep the conference in its current format for five years, at the end of that time the two groups can shake hands and go their separate ways with both conferences having automatic bids in the NCAA tourney (or, at worst, one conference having to wait one year for an automatic bid), no lawsuits, etc.MuchoBulls wrote:I could see the Big East maintianing a 7 game conference schedule. The bottom line is they want ND in as a football member and they would keep 7 games if that is what it took to get ND in. I don't see them inviting Navy as a football only member. The only way that could happen is, if/potentially when Basketball only playing members of the Big East would break away and form their own Conference. This has been heavily rumored to occur in the next handful of years.
