Whitewashed? Got beat but never whitewashed. A whitewash is a shotout. ND's never been whitewashed in a bowl game.

Of course you probably would have fired Ara for the most lopsided Bowl loss in ND history 40-6. That a month after Ara got trounced 45-23 in a season ending loss to USC. Wow, a 34 point point blowout following a 3 TD rout by the Trojans.

You complain about a win over an "overmatched" Hawaii team (the bookies didn't have them "overmatched", did they?). Just how many TDs did you predict ND to win by?

34-20 isn't as bad as the following years 41-14, but that second game was truly a whitewash. I predicted ND to win big, as they should have and did.

NDinLA: I asked a question about Charlies future, as in WHAT IF they lost. I never said they would lose, or it would be close.

Now you are talking semantics really... Around here a whitewash is a severe pounding.

1-0 is a whitewash. 40-0 is a whitewash. The latter was a severe pounding but the word whitewash in sports refers to blanking the other team, a shutout. They don't mean the same thing.
