ajzepp Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 someone needs to tap a little reality Reality = The absense of alcohol If ND loses - that's reality Speculation = betting 760209[/snapback] The reality is that ND looked pedestrian in the first half...they were sloppy and they were getting pushed around all over the field. Regardless of the outcome of the game, that's what happend up til that point. Dig it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Rich Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 They threw the house @ Quinn in the first half, which is why they were sucking wind on that last drive. See the pathetic arm tackle attempts? So far, I think "that school" looks very out of sync offensively and on defense, they look plain bad. I still think they'll come out w/ a win tonight, but man, do they have some work to do before they can seriously entertain thoughts of winning the national title.

daquixers_is_back Posted September 3, 2006 Author Share Posted September 3, 2006 Most people would post before the game (banter) and then after the game if they had remorse - but to post incomplete results such as: (example) Mets 3 - Braves 1 after 2 1/3 innings and draw an conclusion that some how one team is failing - "stock is dropping" - interseting outlook on life If ND loses the game then their stock will "drop" - if they win then your point is moot. 760202[/snapback] Ok lets re-evaluate your analagy ... first of all it would be Mets 3 - Braves 0 after 4 1/2 - 5 innings .... baseball also has about 150 or so more games a year than college football, thus making each game worth less ... not to mention that baseball doesnt have a ranking system, so losing to a bad team wouldnt affect your overall outlook on winning the big game. get my point?

I like Weis, though, and I think he'll get them squared away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajzepp Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 wow, brady quinn is throwing DUCKS out there, but his receivers are coming up huge. Does he just not have an arm, or is he having an off night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Rich Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Kudos to Penn St. - the win counts (Akron ?) 760231[/snapback] Your point being? Hey, I'm not talking smack here. "That school" is ranked 2nd nationally, and expectations are very high for them this year as opposed to PSU, where there aren't very high expectations due to all the players lost from last year. If they truly believe they will win a national title w/ this defense, I believe they're sorely mistaken. A win is a win, to be sure, but there's much work needed for this team to actually be @ the point where they can win the national title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaska Darin Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 I'd like to know what angle they got "indisputable video evidence" of that not being a catch. Neither angle I saw was enough to overturn it. Brady Quinn certainly isn't the best player on the field tonight, Johnson is. ND's kicker is going to cost us at some point this season - it may or may not be tonight. ND is also not playing very disciplined football (GT isn't much better). This is the reason so many teams play patsies to start the season. GT certainly ain't that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your boys have a ways to go before getting to title contender status. They are showing great resolve tonight, and the defensive effort did pick up in the 2nd half, but they just don't look like a team ready for the title right now. But, there's a long way to go before the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daquixers_is_back Posted September 3, 2006 Author Share Posted September 3, 2006 On closing day of the baseball season - which team loses the division title or wild card playoff spot by 1 or 1/2 game ? So game # 1 or game # 101 is equally important All games count 760229[/snapback] Not to be rude, but are you seriously trying your best NOT to understand what I am saying? In baseball each game counts as 1 win or 1 loss ... but it doesnt matter if you lose to the best team in baseball, or the worst. In college football if you lose to the best team in Football it counts 10x less than if you lose to the worse team. In college football, if you are a ranked team (especially in the top 5 like Notre Dame is) and lose to a non-ranked team you are going to go down (and probably far) in rankings, thus making it very hard for you to get to the national championship. Also, one game in college football is also 1 win, or 1 loss like baseball except for the fact that compared to baseball ONE GAME of college football is the equivelant of about 15 baseball games. How do you not understand this??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
