Yeah, he's still salty for whatever reasons. He so wants to stick it in our faces. We need to win out and then win our bowl game. What will they write then? Will they give us our props then? Probably not. Notice this Ty is 3-1 also. Like that's really the same. We've played GT, PSU, UM, and MSU. Would Washington be 3-1 against that schedule. Try 0-4. It doesn't matter though. What's fun about being objective when it comes to the Irish?

What's your problem??? He's picking ND to be in a BCS bowl as the first at large selection! For a team allowing 40+ points a game the last two weeks, I'd say that's pretty generous.

Personally, I'm thinking ND loses to UCLA or Air Force and goes to the Gator Bowl to play Clemson.

USC has looked great so far this year(sarcasm), come on this is just ND bashing... We have more coming back than they do, revenge, heisman, NC... Very low likelyhood of getting crushed. Then he says we are going to get crushed by whoever we play in the BCS game, he doesn't even know who its going to be.. What if it is WVU or TCU... We would not get crushed by those guys, sorrry.

It's easy to look at this article from a Mich fan perspective but try and put yourself in our shoes.. For 6 quarters we were beaten soundly but the turnover margin in those six quarters was 8-1 or 7-1... Who wouldn't lose with a to margin like that, especially to talented teams. Guess what happened in quarters 3 & 4 when the TO margin was reversed? Do I even have to mention how we looked against PSU, thought they played the no. 1 team in the nation pretty tough for 57 minutes..

That's my problem..

that's a fair assessment,but don't you think that ucla isn't very experienced?
I guess what i am saying is...what makes you think ucla can beat notre dame?
just because the name ucla has been around for awhile as a half decent team in the past?
I myself don't see ucla beating us because i think they are alot like penn state this year and we aren't in the pac-10 so they really don't play us every year.They might do some damage this year in their conference with teams they are used to playing,but us...

air force has crossed my mind and the option can be hard to defend,I'll agree.
fisher deberry does a good job there,but we can cover the outsides very well and playing navy every year with their option (although a different team) we should have them covered too.

I'll still stick to my guns in saying the only two games that I'd bet money on are army and north carolina,but that also depends on the spread.

clemson huh?if florida state beats bc,then clemson might take the acc this year.I don't think the acc would want their champs going to the gator bowl...do you?
Althoguh I'm sure the two techs on the coastal side will want something to say about that,so there still is a lot of football left to play.

I really hope everyone is shocked thanksgiving weekend,but like I said.lot of football to be played 'til then
