2011, 2012 Schedules Released

[jason_h537]

2012 looks brutal, but I think we may have our best team in years then.

Agree but the problem with 12 is not that we play Oklahoma or Stanford etc. its that there are no cupcakes. Everey week is a decent to solid team that can beat us if we sleep walk

 

[irishff1014]

I think that the offense will be fine. the question is will we have a defense that will be able to keep us in these games by then?

We are filling the cupboard nicely defensively. I think our Defense will be tough. They are already getting better this season. I think in two years, we will have a formidable defense that will be able to stop just about anyone.

I wonder if we could possibly have a "Game of the Century" scenario when we meet Oklahoma in 2012. Both teams QB's will be Seniors and have plenty of skill position studs on offense. Teo and Carlo will be Seniors. A 1 vs 2 may be a pipe dream but it's not out of the realm of possibility.

 

[NDOM]

2011 record = 5-7
2012 record = 3-9

 

[KPENN]

2011 record = 5-7
2012 record = 3-9

Yes. Cause it's like we'll have the exact same team. Besides why care? You'll be riding the Oregon bandwagon

Whats this You'll business. I already am son.

 

[NeuteredDoomer]

5-7 could be a possibility this year now.

Good thing ND tries to have the toughest schedule for bragging rights every year. I wonder how many admin and ADs at ND ever played DI football.

God ****ing dammit.

I realize this. You'll still be on the bandwagon... Of course if they start to lose you'll be the first one off...

Nah. Oregon has been my 2nd favorite team since I started cheering for ND. So since I'm JEERING for ND, I'm cheering more for Oregon.

We'll be fine with Crist being a senior that year, he'll have a couple years under his belt by the time that game (Oklahoma) comes along.

this is the way i look at it ...........

2011

Sept. 3 — South Florida ~ should be an easy win, well not easy, but i can see us rack up some points
Sept. 10 — at Michigan ~ another tough year vs Shoelace, but hopefully we pull through next year in the 4th Q, toss up
Sept. 17 — Michigan State ~ we had them this year, but we'll get them next year, a win
Sept. 24 — at Pittsburgh ~ tough game vs Graham/Lewis, toss up
Oct. 1 — at Purdue ~ another tough game, but we should have it in the bag, a win
Oct. 8 — Air Force ~ should be an easy win, well not easy, but i can see us rack up some points
Oct. 15 — Open Date
Oct. 22 — USC ~ the Barkley/Crist battle starts this year, but next year part II should be a hell of a game. toss up
Oct. 29 — Navy ~ we will control navy once again ...... a win
Nov. 5 — at Wake Forest ~ should be an easy win, well not easy, but i can see us rack up some points
Nov. 12 — Maryland (at FedEx Field, Landover, Md.) ~ fun game to see with Wilson, but im looking at a win
Nov. 19 — Boston College ~ just like the blow out this year, it will be the samething next year, a win
Nov. 26 — at Stanford ~ this game depends on Luck, if he leaves for the NFL this year, it's a win for us. If he stays probably a loss.

As much as i would love to see ND go 12-0, im guessing ND will finish 9-3/10-2 easy.

2012

Sept. 1 — Navy (at Dublin, Ireland) ~ another pretty fun but easy win for us.
Sept. 8 — Purdue ~ sad but toss up, with a slight edge for us
Sept. 15 — at Michigan State ~ sad but toss up, with a slight edge for us
Sept. 22 — Michigan ~ TOUGH GAME ! toss up
Sept. 29 — Open Date
Oct. 6 — Miami (at Soldier Field, Chicago) ~ TOUGH GAME ! toss up
Oct. 13 — Stanford ~ doubt Luck will still be at stanford for his senior year, so we should win this.
Oct. 20 — BYU ~ we might give up a ton of passing yards, but we should win this.
Oct. 27 — at Oklahoma ~ TOUGH GAME ! toss up
Nov. 3 — Pittsburgh ~ sad but toss up, with a slight edge for us
Nov. 10 — at Boston College ~ sad but toss up, with a slight edge for us
Nov. 17 — Wake Forest ~ another pretty fun but easy win for us.
Nov. 24 — at USC ~ TOUGH GAME ! toss up

i know i have alot of toss ups, but you just never know how the ND defense is going to do with are rivalary games (Pitt, BC, Purd, & Mich St.) i think some of are Rivals will be easier this year like Navy & Stanford. WF and BYU should be some good wins also, that right there is 8 games. We very well could go 4-4, but IMO i think we'll finish 6-2 or 7-1. are Tough games are going to be hell (Miami, Okla., USC, Mich.), we very well could go 0-4, but im guessing we'll finish 2-2. So we'll end the season with a 8-4/ 9-3 record. But since Crist will be a senior this year and will have tons of expereince under his belt he could take us to an even better record like 10-2/11-1. Lets PRAY

What color is the sky in you're world? You should work for ESPN picking these games...

Dude this is 6 years down the road. No use to even look that far ahead

 

[Jim8688]

Well one thing is for sure...in 2012 no one can question our Strength of schedule

more like..nobody is going to question OK and Miami's strength of schedule....please. ND fans are delusional if they think they are relevant.
