Where we do we finish in the polls?

[scooper]

The media didn't purposely set ND up to fail. The media is: a. lazy and b. didn't see some things coming.

A: The media knows and loves QB's and WR's. They saw a big name QB and WR and ranked this team based on that and a high number of returning starters. Remember the old baseball commerical "chicks dig the long ball?" So does the media when it comes to football. They love their glamor boys. They didn't consider the fact that even last year this wasn't a dominating offensive line or that the defense was greatly undermanned.

B: The preseason rankings this past preseason were a crap shoot moreso than most years. In regards to ND's schedule, they didn't see the improvement coming from Michigan and they didn't see JD Booty and company stepping in the way they did at USC. USC had better lines and defenders returning, but they gave ND the nod there due to a QB and WR.

No, I don't think we were deliberately set up to fail. But that doesn't mean they aren't enjoying the fact that they were wrong.

We will finish where we will start next year. #21

Ok so go fuck yourself now. You gave me bad reps for making a simple opinion. If you dont want a problem , dont start one. :starwars:

that's still got to be the most idiotic post I've ever seen."the media set us up to fail"
I guess the whole world had this planned the whole time according to you.They just knew notre dame was gonna get blown out in some games and be the laughing stock of the college football world this year.
you could be right though,i think i do recall reading that somewhere in nostradamus

MS. Cleo i have already told you that you are the premier future teller. I cannot hold a candle to you. But that is my opinion and if it is idiotic to you then that is fine you deal with it, i will sleep just fine. I dont agree with have the stuff i read from you but i dont feel it necessary to go out of my way to give bad reps to a person who i disagree with or to call them an idiot. Now i did give you retaliation and that is just me. Your comment in PM was just spiteful which was sent to me first, so dont lecture me about using PMs to call me an idiot. I still stand by my statement. The irish are not the laughing stock of the media, but i think everyone did knew that ND at #2 pre-season was unrealistic and we proved it and the media was right there alongside all year to make us remeber it.

In summation take you personal opinions of me and fuck off, schiester!

So

I never said purpposly and that opinion was merely a slant on the bias for ND. They began enjoying it after th GT game and never let up. We were consistently over ranked all year giving us a bowl game against a far superior team. Did they conspire? na i am not saying that. The media love affair is over with ND, this is straight mudslinging now.

I am sorry, Not a PM ( my mistake), you just took away rep points and called me an idiot, loser. I hope that made you feel real important and more of a man. Cause i cant wait till someone gets me so riled up that i just have to take reps away, especially after stating an opinion. man, you are a tool.

Dont call me a liar. You dont know shit about me.

realistically this is probably going to be correct.....i'm hoping for a mid-teen start. At absolute worst they start us off at #25.

10-3 team doesn't start the season unranked...that's for sure

Just a word to the wise, Goldendomer... Greenjersey has twice the reputation you have, which means that when he hits you with rep points, it has twice the impact of when you hit him. That's the way the reputation system is set up on this board.

If you really want to keep going around stirrin' things up with people who have been around longer and are much more respected than you, that's fine. And if you really want to keep getting into tit-for-tat reputation battles with people, that's fine too. Just keep in mind that you're basically bringing a knife to a gun fight.

Oh, I'd also highly recommend this book...
