Did anyone check out Mike Coffey's blog on NDNation? He reports that 2nd yr. Badger coach, Bret Bielema, is still pissed off that Wisconsin didn't get a BCS bid. And who do you think he blames for this travesty of justice? Notre Dame.
Did he blame the fact that his conference agreed w/ the rest of its members to limit each to two teams getting BCS bids? No. Did he blame his own team when they choked like Mama Cass on a ham sandwich when they had Michigan in their grasps? No. Did he blame himself by saying as Mike Coffey suggested, "The buck stops w/ me; had we won more games we'd be BCS bound"? No. Did he attribute his weak-ass out of conference schedule? No. Did he blame his conference scheduling that failed to match his Badgers up w/ the Buckeyes? No.
What would Weis have most likely done? Blame himself & the fact that his team didn't perform well enough to deserve the bid. When will ND haters realize that the BCS is only designed to match up the #1 & #2 teams in the BCS poll? After that, it's all about the benjamins & who travels, etc. Personally, I'd prefer if Notre Dame had gone to the type of bowl Wisconsin went to, but I don't begrudge them for taking the best package offered. I agree you can make a case for Wisconsin to be in the BCS, but their own conference were involved in agreeing to the rules; live by the sword, die by the sword. You can also make as many, if not more, cases why they didn't get a bid to a BCS.
Wisconsin didn't exactly impress anyone by beating Arkansas in their bowl. For crying out loud, they had negative offensive output & still eked by admittedly a more talented Arkansas team. Give the Badger defense credit, I guess. On second thought, give the credit to the Razorbacks lack of coaching acumen which lead to any DC w/ a brain to figure out all they had to do was stop McFadden/Jones & dare the Hogs to pass which they've proven they are poor at.
It's getting that there's no Big 10 teams that I respect anymore. They all sound like a bunch of whiners & love to cry a river how Notre Dame needs to join a conference if they want to be included in the BCS. Why don't you idiots stay in your little socialist conference where you can share the wealth like a commune of hippies. In the meantime, try winning your damn games on your weak-ass schedule and you won't have to cry about unfairness. Life ain't fair, wear a helmet. Oops, they already do. But you'd think they'd learn that life isn't fair while studying for their degrees in "Toga Parties" & "Keg Stands" to ensure that Wisconsin remains amongst Playboy Magazine's top 5 party schools in the nation. J/K, it's a fine school, but you get my point.
