Just a minor shift of gears.... Don't you think that stacking the preconference schedule with WHODAT'S weakns ND's recruiting potential? Personally, if I was a hot shot high school player, it wouldn't exactly light my fuse to have the chance to play EMU (Eastern Mighigan, for you folks from other parts). The EMU's and Monmouths and Long Island U's are where typically undersized, but coachable high school players go because they can't get offered by a Big Ten, or Big East, or ACC school. This is NOT how you get ready to play in one of the top three conferences in the country, not to mention the Tournament.
Dude I feel exactly the same as you do about our basketball team. I will always root for them no matter how bad they are but its just sad to see them play such a week early part of schedual before the big east. And I like Brey as a person and he is a descent coach, I just dont think he's gonna be the guy to take ND basketball to the top. I cant see Notre Dame finishing in the top 3 ever. Notre Dame will make the tournament here and there and make the NIT from time to time but they will never be a Kansas, North Carolina, or Duke on a regular basis. Now the football team on the other hand, Thats a squad that will out fear in their opponents here pretty soon. THATS where Notre Dame basketball should be as well.

AMen. Personally, I see NO reason to consider an NIT invite an accomplishment. Jeez, the TOP teams in THAT Tourney couldn't crack the top 65! I think ND Nation's MINIMUM expectation should be an NCAA bid every year, and getting to the second weekend MOST years. This may take a while, mostly because we've all been trained to assume it's impossible. But, like my old Marine buddies like to say, "The Impossible just takes a little longer".

Thanks, pal. Here's one that might not sound so good, but it is important to face facts. I've got a lot of Domer pals who call Boston College Fredo, as in the Godfather, Fredo. Well WE'RE Fredo, now. BC has been to at least the last FOUR straght Tourneys. We haven't. On the gridiron, we haven't beaten them since 2000.

I'm not being negative, but we've got to face facts. under Wadsworth and White, ND athletics have slipped BADLY. The situation is certainly redeemable. Hell, Fredo's been to the last four NCAA Big Dances. WHY CAN'T WE DO THAT? But we won't right the ship if we keep talking about things are not so bad now. We're Fredo. THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
