In ice hockey...I guess the ACC doesn't participate? Craziness.

Not a big market for hockey in the south. BC, Pitt, maybe Maryland. That's about it. Oddly enough, Syracuse doesn't even have a team.

Oh yeah...that one. Shows how much I follow college hockey.

Wait.........

There is COLLEGE HOCKEY????????????????????????

I always thought is was Major Juniors or Nothing

Wasn't the Big 10 also looking at Arizona State for hockey? Seriously. What a great conference - Arizona State, Johns Hopkins and ND. No travel issues there.

Hockey East is mostly New England and New York so that still requires a lot of travel.

True, but just think about the ASU to Johns Hopkins road trip.

Not only that, we steal a lot of you Canucks to come and play too.

Lol. I knew this exists. What you guys get are the "good but not good enough"

It goes: CHL( WHL, QMJHL, OHL) then provincial junior hockey leagues in Canada.

My undergrad school played DIII hockey and is a Frozen Four regular. 95 percent of the roster was kids from Ontario. Brought us a natty though.

I thought you meant Football and it would have had to be an April Fool's Joke. They'd never do that. Couldn't cherry pick their opponents and would be forced to play a minimum number of legit threats each year.

Nothing says "I know nothing about college football" more than claiming Notre Dame has a weak schedule. Keep your weak troll off the ND board.

Last year they played 7 turds. (7-0)
Then 3 good teams (3-0)
And 3 elite teams (0-3)

If they played in a real conference they'd have a much rougher go of it every year. ND does end up with a rough schedule once in a while, but usually it's nothing special. Not exactly an elite program going all out. Drop Michigan, add UMass...please.

I'll help you out, post your team's schedule.

Sure, Arizona played 5 turds. The rest were good to great teams (Stanford, Wash St, Utah, UCLA, USC, UW, and, arguably, ASU) because they are forced to due to conference play. Same holds in the SEC. Same holds in most legit conferences.

ND played over half their schedule against garbage. They usually do (although every 4-5 years it seems like they get a legit schedule to deal with). They have "traditional rivalries" against service academies, Purdue, etc. Join a real conference.

Ah yes, ASU with a losing record is a good to great team, along with 7-6 Washington. You're not biased are you?

They make lists that rate SOS these days! Educate yourself on them. ND's scheduling last year was weaker than normal because Texas was bad along with USC, yet they still played a very tough schedule. Much tougher than your team in a real conference.

Also, Purdue and the service academies all are historically better than Arizona in football.

Calm down, I don't think he was being serious.
