Notre Dame at Michigan!!!

[ericd7633]

Of course you would.

2 wins - 6 losses in the last 8 meetings vs. the michigals.

Has nothing to do with W/L record, more so about recruiting.

Def sucks!

I read in the Wall Street Journal that notre dame's administrators were lobbying politicians in D.C.
to fund Coast Guard and Department of Agriculture football teams.

 

[ericd7633]

you could do all that and still play michigan........

Yes, let's make a totally unrealistic schedule, when other teams can play soft non. conf games every year and bogus in conference games like Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, and Purdue.

I mean for christ sakes they play Stanford, @Arizona State, Northwestern, @USC, @FSU, Louisville and UNC next year along w/Michigan.

The following year they add Texas and Clemson.

Everyone is right though they are chickens and don't play anybody.

i refuse to buy that. for a program of NDs caliber its all about your brand not where you play.

playing one game in texas isnt gonna suddenly improve your texas recruiting tenfold.

One thing an educated fan should never do is criticize the Irish' schedule with a straight face.

One of only 3 remaining teams never to have scheduled an FCS team. I'm not a fan of ND atm because I think kelly is a complete dooosh, but their schedule cant ever be criticized legitimately imo.

 

[yeodonie]

Thank goodness we can go back to ignoring Notre Dame again. Hopefully for another 20 years

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! GO BLUE!!!!!

Yes, everyone get's on ND's ass b/c we play Navy every year, who's made 9 bowl games in the last 10 years.

Oh then we are totally wrong you're awesome based on SOS.

 

[ericd7633]

Not what I'm saying at all. People are giving ND shit for dropping Michigan as if we don't play anybody else.

 

[awclayton]

Lets not get into SOS, really? ND's schedule is always good, drop Michigan add Texas, Clemson, FSU, and Miami.....come on

My favorite powerful notre dame schedule was Akili Quinn's senior year (2006):

Army
Navy
Air Force
Purdue
Georgia Tech
North Carolina

... and... 1 win Stanford.

Purdue went 8-5, Georgia Tech went 9-4 w/a loss in the ACC Championship Game, Navy was 9-3, Army, Air Force, and UNC sucked. What is your point? Still tougher than Ohio State's was last year.

You have to love when a person says our schedule is harder than yours and lists their toughest opponents and the other teams weakest.

 

[MI Nightmare]

This was a tough game, the felons vs. the rapist. Who is the lesser of the evils. Hard for me to decide who I want to lose least.

What the hell were you doing watching the Bucknuts spring game?

 

[MAIZEandBLUE09]

Greedy Notre Dame administrators? lol. That doesn't even make sense. We don't have to play Michigan if we don't want to. I'd much rather play USC, Stanford, and Navy.

Yeah, because you can beat those teams.....I'd much rather play an entire schedule of teams I can beat to.

 

[ericd7633]

Lol, really? You're going to bang on ND's schedule now? ND could go 12-0 every year if they wanted to by playing absolutely nobody. But they don't. Stanford, USC and Navy are just more important games than Michigan is. I know that is hard to grasp for Michigan fans but its reality.

 

[ericd7633]

Again, ill ask the question. Why does Notre Dame have to play a ridiculous schedule every year when other teams can schedule shitty non conf opponents and half their conference games are against garbage teams.
