@JKuehn1 how's the eye test vs navy? Narrow losses to two of top 5 in bcs. I think a/m would beat ND. But I don't know that they would

ESPN is so upset, still, from last season's run. They tried everything in their power to bury us and we stayed the course and went to the title game. This is all payback for them. Get used to it folks.

It's all splitting hairs. "Eye test" is the biggest thing... ND doesn't blow anyone out. Lots of close wins coupled with some bad losses. Time to let it go.

@JKuehn1 I get your point. But system is set up for ND to get benefit of the doubt so I have very little pity

Just leave it alone at this point. Cool that he went back and forth with you for a bit.

@notthefakeSVP Can't knock #AM for their GD losses, but fact is they're yet to beat a good team, while #ND beat 2 potential CONF champ + USC

This is my last tweet on the matter.

I think you should follow that up then thanking him for engaging you on the topic. Trust me, the less trollish a fan base seems, the better. Ohio State has a really bad rap these days from all of their callers, etc. saying they should be #1 and Miller > Winston.

You made a good logical argument, and the point was received.

Great point. Definitely send a quick thank you tweet.

@notthefakeSVP Regardless, thanks for the discussion always glad to hear other perspectives. #GoIrish

Two which he replied:

@JKuehn1 no doubt. Your point makes sense on some levels. Good w's I look at it on balance & like the others better. Subjective.

Tweet him a pic of your junk too.

You know-- just so he knows there's no hard feelings.

good stuff! thanks for sharing. guess the only other argument that could have been made was the qb situation and if one really wanted to bitch the injury card could have been played as well.

wish i had seen this conversation earlier. Beside qb situation and injuries nd is currently 9-3 including ncg against top 25 teams in the last two years and didnt need any fcs schools on their schedule to pad that stat. can tosu even claim 6 top 25 winst with their current 22 game winning streak?

This BCS Bowl season will be such a bummer when UCF, Fresno State, and Northern Illinois all ruin bowl games.

I think UCF is a legit solid team and think they could honestly give ND fits if not beat us....hell the same with NIU for that matter.

Yeah I think UCF could beat us (not NIU though), but that doesn't matter when they are going up against Auburn or Oklahoma State. Massacre.

I think we beat them both. I think we beat anyone if Tommy throws to the right team.

That said, they win if Tommy throws to the wrong team.

Simple.

UCF did give SCar a run for their money and lost only by 3, I see UCF being able to hold their own, remember last yr everyone thought Louisville would get prison raped by UF.

Duke, Cincinnati, and USC are ahead of us in the USA Today Poll. Thats a bit silly, imo, but the Pitt loss really hurt us I guess.
