College GameDay (Oklahoma Edition)

[johnnykillz]

Just wait and see...they devalued Michigan and Stanford and every other game we have played. They will devalue this one as well. Not everyone, but with a win you'll still hear the word "overrated". I'm not worried though because I could care less about their opinion.

Amen.

If they keep this up, imma whoop a Sooner's ***.

I'm getting tired of them claiming that we "stole" the Play Like a Champion Today sign in the 1980s.

 

[NYIrish14]

Ha one sign said "Couldn't think of anything"

 

[NDhoosier]

So at the risk of talking them up more...they've decided to make the BCS rankings into a top 4 discussion rather than the usual mid season top 5 discussion. Meanwhile making attempts to devalue our record by bringing up the BYU score in a discussion about Oregon St. and throwing in a jab every time our win over Stanford is mentioned....Paranoia is a beyotch.

that has been pissing me off lately... They keep saying Stanford should have won that game... NO THEY WOULDNT, it would have been a TIE game at most. The bias against ND is blatant, and that is not debatable.

 

[IrishLax]

So... why did we schedule Oklahoma again? Couldn't we have, you know, plugged in Air Force or Army here instead? SMH.

Are you all really complaining about the media and ND?

Really?

All I have heard all week is how tough their defense is. How well their two QB set up is actually working. About how well they run the ball. About how strong their schedule has been.


And you all complaining?

Maybe you all that are complaining is missing the programing that goes on most ofr the day.


Hell, the USA Today had a FRONT PAGE and then a page and a half in the sports section telling their readers how ND is back!

Stop complaining. And if ND wins tonight, then all we will hear about is how ND should be in the national championship picture, and how relevant they are once again.

The hype after beating OU puts teams way up there. It happened with Boise State. It happened to WVU. It happened to Tech and OSU and Baylor last year. And its happening to KSU this year.

Lose today, and the expectations will fail. Win today, and your all but guaranteed a spot in the BCS title game!

Ok, I take it back a little. When I hear about how ND actually did allow a rushing TD to Stanford but the refs "missed" it, I want to punch a baby. No reasonable objective person could think that was a TD.

That Tom Rinaldi "Relevance" thing was pretty awesome

Link to video? 0500 is too early to get up just to watch Gameday! I did it for the Navy game, but not just for Chris, Kirk, and Lee!

I appreciate the level of recognition that we've received so far. I'm merely referring to the undertones from ESPN, and the asterisk that seems to accompany any props given to our team this year. Just unnecessary. But believe me, I'm not negative nancy...I'm enjoying the glow.

Because for most of the Big 12, OU is the only truly good team they ever play, especially the way Texas has been the last few years. The rest of the hype comes from their video game offenses running up 60 points against Kansas, Iowa State and the Sisters of the Poor.

Whatever. All the "who deserves to be in the BCS" talk is just noise at this point. A lot of football left to play. Win and we're still in it. Lose and we drop, though probably not too far unless it's a blowout. But I wouldn't say a win tonight "all but guarantees" us a title shot. Still got to go to USC.
And FWIW, I think our wins over Michigan and Stanford will look at lot more impressive at season's end, when they're both in the Top 15. That's when it matters anyway.
