LSU in 09 -- Did I miss something???

[ACamp1900]

I def. remember looking at future schedules for next year and seeing us going to Baton Rouge to play the tigers NEXT YEAR... now I see the future schedule and it's not there???

Future Notre Dame Schedules - UHND.com


I KNOW I saw that game many times on the future schedules listing not once but many times... what happened???

 

[Junkhead]

I'm looking forward to that 2016 schedule with only five games. Sweet!

/I Know, I know

 

[ACamp1900]

I see no mention of it EVER being scheldued but myself and Ram Man where looking at it one night while IMing I remember that so maybe he can confirm I;m not crazy...

 

[Junkhead]

I remember seeing it at some point also.

 

[ACamp1900]

They do play in basketball next year but there is zero chance I got the two confused, it was a full on football schedule with us playing SC mid year and LSU right near the end... it's not anywhere I can see now????

 

[Junkhead]

I searched and with no luck. I sure as hell remember thinking it would be a tough game.

Sorry dude, I woulda remembered that I am sure.

I don't know, but looking at that reminds me that ND is going to play Navy in Ireland! It will give me an excuse to go over there!

Ya, I remember it as well. But I remember that it seemed to be on half of the websites that had our future schedules but not all of them. I wouldn't mind playing them again, but it would be awful if it overlapped with the Oklahoma series. I really wouldn't want to play Oklahoma, LSU, USC, and Michigan in the same year.

I'm with you Irishfan. That would be brutal.

 

[ACamp1900]

so I'm not nuts... Irishfan, myself and Junk all remember seeing it...

wtf happened to it?? Even if it were losely discussed there would be online articles about it... I have found nothing

 

[sjderis]

I saw that as well... hmmmm Shannanigans!

I believe Dr. White made an executive decision in not scheduling anymore heavyweights in the future since there is absolutely no room for them. No room whatsoever.

BTW, I too remember seeing LSU on our future schedule for a home and home over on Blueandgold.com.

Not true.

Funny, but not true.

He was the one who JUST THIS YEAR scheduled a home-home with Oklahoma in years that we play Michigan and USC.

And just WHY would you not like to play the best? Surely, there are worse things in life than ND losing a football game, but even if we were to lose, consider the admiration and respect we gain from showing the courage to play the best. Of course, we could do what FL does every year and play 2 or 3 "patsies early in the season to pad the Qtbk statistics...like last year when Tebow threw 15 TDs against patsies.

Spark Notes: Some fans would like to see the Irish play a top 10 SOS consistently and believe this to be the only way to play for the National Championship, other fans believe this to be overly idealistic and wholly unrealistic.

And some of us fall somewhere in between.

 

[LOVEMYIRISH]

I've done a search via Google and can find no record of the two teams agreeing to play each other in 2009. I wonder if it was some old rumor or something.

Ahhh, but it is true. Dr. White went on record in the South Bend Tribune some time back and was quoted as saying that ND would not be scheduling any heavyweights in the future because there was no room on the schedule. As for the OU series, it was a payback for them coming to South Bend in the late 90's. Nothing White could do about that one, because believe me, if he could have gotten out of that one he surely would have. He would have preferred Idaho St. or Norhtern Iowa A&M, or some BS sorry excuse of a team.

I know same here... it was FOR SURE listed on the ND athletic site for at least two months about six months back... that much I am absolutely CERTAIN...

it may have been some kind of typo though
