Corso Is Right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[big_j_4]

Notre Dame's schedule is much too tough to win a national championship when teams like Iowa are playing Ball St. and Northern Iowa. Notre Dame should completely scrap all their future schedules and make it comprable to other teams. I don't care if Weis says the schedule isn't the problem. Well, I'm telling you now that it is. ND has had more talent in the past 15 years then anyone and have never won a national championship. Weis is completely off his rocker. It's time the rest of you wackos on this site face the facts. ND's schedule is much more difficult than anyone's in the nation.

 

[Champion10]

I know its difficult but they are lighten up a bit.

 

[Irish Legend]

Settle down Wacko. Take your meds and realize the schedule will begin to get easier in a few years. Besides when they win the NC with the type of schedule they play it will only be that much sweeter!

 

[WeisGuy05]

I cannot believe I just read that crap.

 

[KMac151993]

Anyone that agrees with Corso is well as was put earlier a wacko who is off his rocker.

 

[ACCIrish]

you gotta beat the best to be the best

 

[LuckoftheIrish86]

Not so fast my friend....

 

[guff]

Do you think last year's Auburn team wished they had a tougher schedule?

Geeeeeeez, If he's up here, Who's watching hell?
Easy there tiger.
I take pride in the fact that ND does not water down their schedule. I lived in Cleveland my whole life and saw the Buckeye fans when they won the national championship. They were all fired up and asked me "What happened to your Irish?" My answer basically was "Well we did not have the luxury of playing San Diego State and Akron and a handful of other sub-par teams".

Our schedule does get easier from here on out, so relax there fella. The fact that Weis is not afraid to play these Top 5 teams is great and that attitude will rub off on his players.

 

[domerforlife]

I do agree an easier schedule should be made - and it is in a few years, but seriously guys, how would it feel waking up on a saturday morning saying "man, i just can't wait for the ND/Lakeland Community College game" i mean seriously, waking up and saying "damn, this will be a tough one against PITT" just makes saturday's a bigger deal to me. Like it was said a few posts back "you have to beat the best to be the best" which is why i feel there should be a playoff system installed...that way even if these schools do play a powderpuff schedule, they will have to earn the championship beating the best.

i dont think this guy was being serious.

A. You lost all credibility with the title...

B. Why did you post this in the recruiting forum???

C. You lost all credibility with the title...

[KMac151993]

Why not just play the best during the course of the regular season? I think ND should always schedule tough opponents and I hope the future schedules do not become easier, an easier schedule just gives haters one more reason to hate ND when they do well.

 

[bmf175]

Agreed anybody who agrees with Corso is a wacko in himself. And to be honest I dont think its who you play that decides if you will be a great team or not...its HOW you play. One thing that has been lacking is a great leader at the head coaching position. With great leadership any groupl of men can become great.

1. The day Notre Dame plays a MAC or I-AA school is the day it becomes a Baptist institution. Let Iowa have their garbage September. Those two games will keep them out of a title game, regardless of how great of a wizard Kirk Ferentz is. Playing Citadel did wonders for Tommy Tuberville down at Auburn last year. Thanks, but no thanks. People give us $h*t for playing Navy, and that's their second biggest game only to Army. But they're D I-A, which is more than I can say for Northern Iowa and Citadel. Ball State might as well be I-AA.

2. Completely scrapping future schedules can be quite difficult when you're independent and contracts are already signed. Unless unforseen events occur (stadium renovation, move to a new conference, etc.) these games are rarely cancelled once the ink is dry. It would also be an athletic director's nightmare if they were to actually do it. Word gets around.

3. More talent than anyone else in the last 15 years? Where the hell have you been? Or where was I? Let me just throw out some names here, off the top of my head: Florida State, Florida, Nebraska, Texas, Ohio State, Miami, Oklahoma, USC, Tennessee and whoever I'm forgetting. While it is nice that you've overestimated ND's talent level, I'm afraid you're sadly mistaken. Wish you were right. If ND has been so great, explain why I haven't watched them win a bowl game since before I had driving priviledges.

4. I'm sure it took CSI, NYPD Blue, and Anthony Michael Hall DEAD ZONE to crack that code. Painfully obvious, but thanks for the reminder.

I"m going to some sights of other teams and will put out some posts like this one.

 

[big_j_4]

It is going to be a very long time before notre dame wins another national championship. I want to know how many years you people think it will take Notre dame to win an undisputed national championship.



As for Iowa's schedule, missouri had a contract with them and made it when iowa sucked, now just last year they backed out of their two year contract since iowa rules and now iowa had to go and find somebody to play-UNI.

 

[BigIrish]

"you wackos"?

"you people"?

let me guess. you're not a notre dame fan.

not sure how long it will take for the irish to win a national title again. but i'd be willing to go this far....there are many, many teams that will win a national title before iowa does. (despite your thoughtful "iowa rules" analysis suggesting otherwise.)

 

[AlbuquerqueIrishFan]

We could lighten up the schedule a little bit, but we should still play schools from the major conferences...say a Baylor, Mississippi State or Vanderbuilt. And replace the Tennessee type school we seem to play every year. We already have a locked rivalry with USC and Michigan and those are great schools, we could get a little softer schedule. Especially in September.

 

[iowadomer]

You are exactly right! What is so bad about playing teams like DUKE, VANDY, BAYLOR, TULANE, or TCU? They are all major universities that are very well respected. ND should start playing some of these type of teams. I have no problem with it as long as they don't start playing Troy State (Total shithole) or San Jose State (also total shithole)

ND just signed a contract with Duke.

They get bashed enough. They start scheduling creampuffs, the haters will come out like roaches.

So much for 0-6. Somebody get Corso some viagra and a new set of Depends.

Nice work Herbstreit.

Who the hell knows? I'd like to say one, two, three, 19 dickedy do. Results like last night and 12 more recruits would be a good start. I broke my crystal ball after last year's BC game, so I'm out of miracles.

And I'm going to be very frank here: screw Iowa. I take nothing away from their recent success, but they got blown out against USC a few years ago...same as ND. And they've traded wins and losses with Michigan...same as ND. Ball State? That's funny. So Mizzou runs and they find a I-AA opponent? Not impressive. Maybe they could have played Ball State twice. At least they're I-A. They won't be sneaking up on anyone this year. Their trip to Columbus this year could have them feeling pretty broken on the trip home.

And if anyone is a start on that defense, it's Abdul Hodge. Chad Greenway is a tad overrated. Good player, but not even the best on his team at his position as far as I'm concerned. Press clippings do nothing for me. Hodge does the job, Greenway gets the news ink.

 

[Aerosmith777]

I honestly don't mind a couply cream puffs only b/c all conference teams get them automatically simply by virtue of being in a conference, and there's always a few really bad teams in every conference every year. I doubt USC gets all that worried when they see Washington on the schedule these days....

They can't do it for all 11 games of course. But when you play USC, Michigan, and usually two other top 5-10 team every year (Tennessee, Florida State, Miami, who ever), a bunch of upper-mid level teams (Navy, Purdue, Pitt, etc) I think you can get away w/ scheduling a few bottom-feeders (Rutgers, Army, etc) but still have a schedule that's among the toughest in the country, but also give yourself some games that give you a breather, especially early in the year so the team can kind of use them like pre-season games to get themselves going. Hey, here's an idea, why not schedule Indiana? They always suck and its an interstate rivalry of sorts. I don't know, just my opinion.

 

[AlbuquerqueIrishFan]

I was thinking about Indiana as a team to play as well. But maybe we could get more recruiting opportunities if we play a team from another state...say a Pac 10 school. But IU would fit perfect as an easy win over a BCS confrence team.

 

[jiggafini19]

Agree on Indiana. That would probably benefit them more because IU is NEVER on TV nationally.

 

[Aerosmith777]

yeah, but neither are most cream-puffs. I don't think we can really look at those games and ask direct questions like "How does this help recruiting?" or "Which school does this benefit more?" The answers to those questions are obvious, they don't and the opponent. But that's the point. ND already schedules 4-5 games that obviously help recruiting big time when they win (Michigan, USC, & whoever else is in the top 10-15 that year). The point to those easy games isn't help out w/ that stuff directly, its to give the team a week off here and there (practically) and get ready for the big games, which indirectly helps out w/ recruiting and whatnot by giving the team a better chance to win the big ones, and also by making it a bit easier to get ranked higher and win more games. Again, I'm not saying fill the schedule w/ 11 San Jose States, but if you're gonna schedule anywhere from 2-4 schools like that a year, why not make one of them an interstate rivalry? I know Indiana's not on T.V. much, and it would obviously help Indiana a lot more than the Irish, but I don't think you're gonna find a team on that level where that's not the case anyway.
