Chilly Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 I cry a river for Tennessee and their brutal schedule. Really I do. When Tennessee (or any other team in the nation for that matter) decides to schedule the #1, #3, #4, #15 and #23 teams in country in one season, then I will give them their due.... But conference schedules are sooooooooo hard. (disclaimer...not directed at you, just a general rant ) 425107[/snapback] Excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuses. Newsflash: ND still sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newsflash: ND still sucks. 425111[/snapback] read where I wrote anything about it being a crutch. In the other thread I predicted an 8-3 season....with one of those 8 wins coming against either Southern Cal or Tennessee. Probably crazy....but stranger things have happened. Just find the sympathy for teams in tough conferences hilarious..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We schedule like this every year. I was at Notre Dame during what may very well go down as the worst 4 year stretch in our football history and I am not one for excuses. There are plenty of reasons why we lose, to me, schedule is not at the top of the list. I love our schedule, its brutal, but it's great. Maybe it would be nice if we played Michigan, USC and then padded our season with teams like SE Tennessee Community College or Georgia School for the Blind. Hell, some would probably even settle for having an easy opener like say.......La Lafayette instead of jumping into 2 consective ranked opponent away games. But I like the way it is.....because one day soon, we will win our 12th National Championship, and we will leave a trail of worthy opponents in our wake.

Tux of Borg Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 You act like Notre Dame has no talent. They lost some great players on defense but overall they aren't a bad team. Darius Walker is coming off an impressive freshman season and will only get better. I don't think Quinn is the most talented QB in the NCAA, but Weis will make it work.
