Game Thread: CFB Semi-Final Alabama vs Notre Dame 4:00 pm EST ESPN

[desert heat]

ND played incredible

didn't start well, but made it respectable,

 

[NDGreg]

Don't know.

I'd say Top 15-20. I think we will get the question about who is under center.

That might knock us down next season

I hope book leaves and it allows ND to use the new triple threat qb to their advantage.

 

[Judge Fudge]

i meant this year's final ranking.

Yeah. Probably 5.

But going into next year. Top 15 -20

You can really tell how Notre Dame is improving as a program. In the 2013 national championship game Alabama went up 14-0 in 9 minutes and 46 seconds. This time it took Alabama 10 minutes and 41 seconds. that's almost a whole minute better

we'll see. they exceeded expectations this year, but likely. books been solid. too bad yurkovic left.

Alot of that goes to Williams

These post game parties and interviews are retarded. Start the next game.

I cannot see Notre Dame falling out of the top 10.
They lost to the #1 team on a neutral field, and played about as well as could be expected despite the competition level.

Who exactly will leap the Irish??

Oklahoma, Yes.
A&M if they win.
Northwestern?? Maybe..
But, that is about it from the teams below them that seem obvious.

The Irish should still be a top 10 team if not even higher.

books been solid for 4 years.

Hold your horses young man, assuming your younger than 36 here.

Game 2 starts in 13 minutes

See? I told you the domers weren't a good matchup against BAMA. But, Bama needs to keep their foot on the gas in the next game.

Problem is that for the most part solid is no longer good enough at the top level unless you are playing with a super talented supporting cast.

always nice to see a good winner.

If ND doesn't throw deeper than 20 yd Williams won't be a factor for the next 3 years. He'll be the next wasted back

 

[Nat Mann]

How do you make a Notre Dame omelette?

Put them in a bowl that's too big for them and beat them for three hours.

That said, it's hard to figure who would have done better. Oklahoma maybe, but it would have been hard to justify given their two losses.

I found it on line and it gave me a chuckle

nd moved the ball. defense put them in a hole.

Only if you are Auburn
