In order:
1. Miamuh. A classless organization, top to bottom. I'll never forget Jimmah's Big Boy going out of his way to embarrass ND in Gerry Faust's last game, also the last game of my senior year.
2. Florida State. Lived in J-ville for 3 1/2 years. Some classless fans down there, board contingent notwithstanding.
3. Florida. See Florida State above, except this time, board contingent (i.e., T-Rex) included.
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.
5. Fredo. As Killian says, classless fans. And there's a little brother complex there vis-a-vis ND that would put Oklahoma State to shame.

Michigan State. Damn I hate them. I root against them in every sport. Rack the Baylor chick hoopsters for rolling over the Spartan Dykes. Fuck State. This is one team where the hatred is not enough. If the institution ceased to exist, it would become a holiday in my home. If the team plane crashed, I would dance the hully-gully on the smoldering body parts, this is the type of hate I'm talking about.
Notre Dame. I mostly hate them because of all the out of date, un-deserved media pimping. But I do think ND-UM should be the national kickoff game every year. That being said, if a zeppelin crashed and exploded during a ND-MSU game, ala "Black Sunday", simultaneously decimating both programs......I would have a difficult time caring.
Ohio State. This is more of a healthy hatred (the older I get). Since moving to Florida I have actually encountered some nice Buckeye fans (yes I can admit that they do exist). For some reason they've been easier to get along with the last four years or so.

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.
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
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.
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.

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.

There was a time when there were lots of proud independents in college football: in addition to ND, you had Penn State, Miami and Florida State, among others. Just because those teams caved and joined conferences doesn't mean ND has to, as well.
I have a few problems with this.Secondly, I know ND loves to point to their status and tradition as an independent program.

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
First thing is that the only Big East team with whom ND currently has a rivalry its fan base will embrace is Pitt. In this regard, Louisville and Cincinnati could join this group if ND joins the Big East, and possibly even Syracuse, UConn and West Virginia as well.
Second problem is with the OOC scheduling. First, ND historically has played Michigan less frequently than any team in the other category you mention (Navy, Michigan State and Purdue). Second thing is that ND likely will want the freedom to schedule at least one game a year against a team that doesn't ordinarily wind up on its schedule, or to continue a lesser rivalry (Stanford, e.g.). Along those lines, I think the only way ND winds up in the Big East is if the Big East will agree to at least one of these two conditions:
- A 7-game conference schedule; or
- Navy joins the Big East as a football-only member along with ND (allows ND to continue that rivalry without having to burn a OOC game to do so).
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.
Having said that, however, independence has been good to ND for the bulk of its football history, and therefore, the proponents of conference membership should have the burden of proof on this issue. I'm not sure yet that it's absolutely necessary for ND to join a conference in order to do what's best for its football program.

Terry,
I agree that the BCS is not reason enough for ND to join a conference since the BCS might not exist in a handful of years. However, would a potential new system be as favorable to ND as the BCS is to them right now? Obviously, that's a question that cannot be answered until a new system is implemented.
I know Penn St., Miami, and FSU all had great runs as independent programs, but they saw how beneficial being in a Conference could be for them. While I certainly understand that ND doesn't have to, I am sure that they see the positives of joining one, especially under the current system.
I know Pitt is ND's only current rival who play in the Big East. I am sure there are other programs that will soon develop rivalries win ND once they play a few times. Looking at the current framework of the Big East, Louisville could easily form a quick rivalry with ND, as could WVU, Syracuse, and even USF.
Thanks for helping me with ND's OOC scheduling. I wasn't aware that ND had played Michigan less frequently than Navy, MSU, or Purdue.
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.

And yes, some Oklahoma fans have an inflated idea of the program's value right now.
Your not supposed to admit that publically ;) Recruits may read these message boards :roll:
BtH I its mostly one of three groups that feel this way. The first group were all born before 1950 and the second group are those that were born in 1983 or after and didn't grow up Sooners. And last but not least the bandwagoners who appeared around November of 2000. Those are still very sizeable groups though.
The first group feels that way because the remember the glory days under Bud and lived through them as well. The second group because they don't know any better.
The last group is self explainatory, their called bandwagoners. One thing I did appreciate in 2000 greatly was that for the most part the people around us in the "good" seats we knew were Sooners because they for the most part were like us in the fact that the way they got those seats were while all the fair wheather fans unloaded their seats and caved on donations these were the people that were there while Nebbish and Colorado were pounding the crap out of us and there were good chances that just about everyone but Baylor might. I'm glad those days are gone and expect to remain away for a time to come but it will happen again, thats the nature of the beast.

I think we'll get it when you get your facts right, but don't let that stop you. In '98 they also beat Michigan and LSU. In '02, they beat Michigan and FSU. Remember? The reason they lost out on a BCS game was the ass kicking by USC. But even in the year you're talking about, '04, I didn't realize the NCAA went to a 10 game schedule.

In 2002, we finished 10-2, beating four ranked teams along the way -- Maryland, Michigan, Chair Force, and Free Shoes U. http://graphics.fansonly.com/photos/sch ... Scores.pdf
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.
Get it?
At a minimum, the 1998 and 2002 seasons prove that that latter statement is the HUGE lie (to use your words) here.
Btw, you do remember that ND smacked Free Shoes U in 2002, don't you? And you do remember that Free Shoes U played in the BCS that year, despite losing four games and finishing #14 in the final BCS poll, don't you? And you do know that ND can't play in the BCS under those circumstances (must have at least nine wins and be ranked no lower than #12), don't you?
So tell me, who is it that the BCS is coddling?

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.
IRISH COMING?: Notre Dame athletic director Kevin White confirmed his school plans to schedule three football games with Big East teams each season, starting in 2009.
White said he has talked with USF athletic director Doug Woolard but has not discussed specific details of any future meetings. One game each season would probably be played at the Meadowlands in New Jersey, White said, but the rest would be home-and-home contracts.
Seeing that Pitt will probably be on the schedule each season that would leave 2 other games a year for ND to play a Big East team. I know ND had mentioned potentially playing a game in Orlando every so often and it would make some sense to maybe play their if/when they play USF.

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.
If this happens, I would see both conferences expanding. If ND maintains its football independence and joins the "Catholic Conference" for other sports, I see that conference adding St. Joe's, Dayton, Xavier and Saint Louis, and splitting into east and west divisions in order to facilitate travel. If ND joins the football Big East schools or joins the Big Ten, Creighton probably would replace ND.
The football schools probably will add, at a minimum, Central Florida (which guarantees that each member school will play one game a year in Florida). Beyond that, any expansion would probably be dictated by their chances of getting ND to join.
As for ND, it maximizes ND's possible options. ND can give Weis five years to see what he can do with an independent program. If that works out, ND still has a built-in conference for its other sports. If not, ND has the option of joining a football conference.

Terry,
Good post. I definitely see the scenario where a split occurs down the road.
The only part of your post I disagree with is the Big East looking to add UCF. The first target they would go after in any addition would be Memphis. UCF is in pretty dire straits financially and they have repeatedly stumbled with the media in regards to when, and more importantly if, they are going to build a football stadium and a basketball arena.
