We can't get Stanford off the schedule fast enough. We gain absolutely nothing by playing them, whether it's competition, visibility/publicity, or recruiting. What a sad little program they've become.

Edit: teams I'd like to see us add instead would be some rotation of UCLA, Oregon, Washington, Arizona State, Houston, Baylor, TCU, Texas, Texas A&M, LSU, Missouri, Vanderbilt, Tennessee, Ole Miss, Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Maryland, Rutgers, Penn State, Ohio State, Cincinnati, and Michigan. All of them are in power 4 conferences and would offer better competition and/or more recruiting opportunity.

Bad news for you, Stanford was just announced as on the 2027 and 2028 schedule along with Kent State in 2027

But crushing the dreams of Miami fans would feel so good...

It wouldn't crush their dreams though. They'd still get in the playoff. I would rather they already feel hopeless when the team arrives on campus knowing that it's about to get much worse.

This team has started 2-0 once in 4 seasons.

Zero excuse this time. Wisconsin could be better than expected, but that's still probably 6-6 or 7-5 caliber, and Rice is really bad.

Miami has to be crushed and the score ran up on. No other way. Just a pathetic program with the whole stupid interception chain and the whole garbage program. Must be punished severely and silenced.

Mexican fans blast horns outside Ecuador’s hotel, fueling a sleepless night at the World Cup

Mexican soccer fans have done their best to give Ecuador a sleepless night ahead of their World Cup match in the round of 32.

I wonder how this would go over in college football, like the night before the Miami game?

I'd love it. The rest of the college football world would hate it, but who gives a shit? A few ND fans would probably have to take one for the team and get arrested for disorderly conduct.

Alex Donno from locked on canes podcast doesn't think weather will be a deciding factor on 11/7. Has he been watching Miami the last 40 years when the temp drops below 50 degrees? Agree to the extent that ND is the superior team, but Miami will shrivel up in the cold like they always do. ND by a million.

Chris "Bear" Fallica (Miami fan and ND hater extraordinaire) is on ND to win the title and Carr to win the Heisman. So we're not crazy here.

Games in November vary, though. It could be 50 degrees during the day and 40 degrees at night, or it could be 20 degrees and snowing. I guess either counts as "cold" relative to Miami, of course.

The weather will absolutely have an effect. Those players just aren’t used to it and it will make them uncomfortable just like ND was uncomfortable in the heat and humidity last year. It’s not that they are soft it’s just natural that your body has an adverse reaction to something that it’s experiencing for the first time in a while.

It really depends on what the weather is, though.
To Tusker's point, it could be 45 degrees at kickoff, and while that may be colder than South Florida, it's not THAT cold. Or it could be 34 and raining. FWIW, it was in the 30s when Miami played at Pittsburgh on Thanksgiving Weekend last year; they won that game 38-7.

Regardless, we'll need to beat them, not rely on the weather to do it for us. If we have the team we think we do, I'm confident we will.
