But yeah, firing Harbaugh won't help. Expand Yes, nothing! Notre Dame & Stanford have been playing each other on a yearly basis since 1988. I don't know what the attitude is like in South Bend about this "rivalry", but I wouldn't be surprised if the fans are far more excited when the Irish play teams like Michigan, Michigan State, Navy, or even Boston College. I guarantee you that when the Irish travel to Stanford, the fans are just ho-hum about it. I cannot remember anytime that when this game is played in Palo Alto, that the entire Bay Area is excited about it. The hype is nowhere to be found. Not from the fans, not from the radio stations and very little from the local newspapers. The Stanford fans only care about the game against California, and maybe USC, but that's it. As for Michigan, they do have decent QB's on the roster. This is my one criticism of Harbaugh. He's recruited a few top notch QB's, Dylan McCaffrey being one of them, but then he got Shea Patterson to transfer from Ole Miss and decided to go with him. Instead of getting players at a high position from other schools, he should focus on the players he recruits. Let them grow and learn, even if they have to take their bumps. It's unfortunate because Michigan has very good talent at WR & TE. Patterson got off to a terrible start this season, then eventually he got better and helped get a string of wins together. I just never saw Patterson as a top QB in college. I do think that McCaffrey could be something special. Quote

Expand I agree this is one rivalry that few would miss. ND already has the west coast rivalry with USC, and now that ND is half-ACC, non conference games are at a premium. I'd rather see them reinstate other traditional regional rivalries like Purdue or MSU. Yesterday's game looked like a high school crowd with the cold/rain in Palo Alto. 1 Quote

Pretty crappy fan base of they only get up for one game a year, but it's Stanford so.. Every year Michigan QB's struggle to reach mediocrity. Seems like the best don't want to play there. Quote
