This might have been discussed before but does anyone know who got the game ball?

Wrong thread.

Should be in the Brian Kelly a Revisited thread.

 

[NDohio]

Ya'll should for real try breathing a little bit during games though lol.

I have gotten to the point where I don't even log into IE on the weekend anymore until later in the day on Sunday. Every week the game day thread needs Valium.

You and me both....

The computers love this team, and seems like most are projecting them to win out. I legitimately think they go 9-3 if they can win this week as I think that will completely kick-start their season again with the new coach.

FPI (which isn't great, but their projections are reasonably accurate) has each game below:

vs. #3 Utah (71.8%)
at #20 Cal (62.2%)
vs. Arizona (88.3%)
at Colorado (92.1%)
at Oregon (72.7%)
vs. UCLA (74.8%)

They would probably open up around #20 in the Committee rankings if they could get to 5-3 these next two weeks.

This should be posted in the BK Revisited thread.

This is awesome... when was the last time ND held all of them at the same time??

Won all six in our undefeated 2012 and held them until we lost to Stanford on 11/30/13. We won it back on 10/4/14 but then lost the Jeweled Shillelagh to USC on 11/29/14.

 

[ND101]

Do we not have a trophy with Michigan. We lost early 2013 to them. Believe that was the "Chicken game"

I honestly don't even remember playing BC in 12... this says a lot tho that we've held ALL of them for such a large amount of the past few years... hell I wonder if we ever held all of them at once at any point under the previous three coaches...

We do not. The only rivalry trophy not listed here is a third shillelagh with Northwestern, but that one appears to have been lost to history.

When we won them in 2012, there was a recruiting video or something of the sort that said "the first time we've had them all since..."

I'll try to find it.

ETA: Found it.

USC beat us on November 30, 1996.

I always wondered what the legends trophy actually looked like, I was always aware of it but had never been able to see it on TV or in pics like the other for some reason....

Irish crystal on California redwood. Sexy.

 

[ACamp1900]

The Ireland Trophy is the best looking one imo... but they're all cool in their own ways.

 

[GowerND11]

I believe it's been replaced by the Frank Leahy Memorial Bowl, unless the winner receives both trophies.

I believe both trophies go to the winner, the Ireland one is more of an 'unofficial' trophy now... which sucks, because it's badass.

That would make sense. I agree, I always loved that trophy. Was the one trophy I would always click to view in my trophy case when the NCAA Football series was made.... Sigh.

Rare you see SC with such humble words and support of another team. I remember after the '05 Texas/USC championship the USC players were all like "Na, we're the better team." Hats off to this year's team.

 

[ACamp1900]

Wasn't it Lendale White that said something along the lines of, "We hate everything they represent and have no respect for what they are." he (or someone from that team) said something like that... smh

Not sure, but I know Leinart wasn't very complimentary of the Longhorns after the loss. There were a few players that spoke out afterwards. Miami was the same way when they lost to tOSU, they thought they were the better team despite the loss, just bad attitudes.

Leinart apologized for that after the fact. He was heated on the field and has since admitted it was classless.

Yeah, I remember that too...
