I gotta tell you, One, I'm VERY disturbed about the quality , or lack of quality, of Notre Dame's pre-conference schedule. The 12 teams we plaued in 2007 were, collectively, sub-.500 overall, and 0-10 against ranked teams. Of course, ND didn't play any ranked teams. I fail to see how playing this type of pansy schedule does anything to prepare ND for Big East play, or March Madness for that matter. Is this a metter of all the good teams refusing to schedule ND, or is this intentional? I HOPE it was unavoidable, because, if it was done on purpose, the man/men responsible should lose their jobs!
