Congratulations Buckeyes Hey Bucks. Congrats on a well deserved win. While I think the Irish are capable of playing better, there is no doubt as to who the better team is.

That's fair. Especially this: "... i don't care one way or another if ND is 3-8 and gets a BCS bid, as long as they didn't get Ohio State's... " Alot of teams can make cases, but there's only so many spots...... It's been fun, but I gotta run. Will check in with you guys later this week...

Heh!! Either that or the Oregon fan pool has grown by about 2500% in the last few weeks.

What's you're special teams play like? I know Ginn is a dangerous return man. Ours has been spotty. Last year was ridiculous and we've made huge improvements. Coverage has been decent. We've got a very dangerous punt returner in Tommy Z. Our KO's are rarely touchbacks, but we have been pretty...

Two spots. Per your post, five qualified teams (I assume you consider OSU qualified): ND / Oregon / LSU / Auburn / Miami / Ohio St. So no matter what, four of the teams you mentioned get left out. Take Notre Dame out of the equation. Three of the teams you mentioned get left out. This...

I'm not blind to the fact that ND gets special consideration. It's a fair complaint. All I would say is that when things are bad, we get truly hammered as well. The bad always comes with the good......and Davieham put us through alot of bad. Oregon fans have a right to bitch, but I think...

Will Carpenter be back? The ND boards are freaking out with speculation. I think ND will stick with short passes if they are available to us. IMO, for ND to win we will need to control TOP. Keep Smith from getting hot and/or into a groove.......also, your defense will be less and less...

I would have #39 Brandon Hoyte on Smith. He's got decent lateral speed, and is our surest/best tackler. I've never seen him lose contain. Our OL is good, but not at the caliber of your DL. I think we have an advantage in preparation via having faced Tennessee's defensive front which is...

Thanks.....this is a great site you guys got. I'm really looking forward to this game. Barring a total blowout, this season will be a success win or lose. ......and this team isn't getting blown out.......hell, a twelve year bowl losing streak is about as embarrassing as an eleven year bowl...

With all due respect, I'd just as soon see you produce the cite/source that said ND is an "automatic" with nine wins. That is an unmitigated pile of bullshit. As far as us being a "lock" for two weeks......that was all media. Stanford damn near made that crap blow up in their faces (much...

Thank you for a true football post. Yes, our schedule was mediocre at best.....after looking like a ridiculous "rookie coach killer" back in August. When it comes to comparing at-large candidates, OSU wins this one hands down. Oregon.....not at all. I understand that Ohio State law...

clashmore, you didn't address any of my points when you asked us to show you evidence. Why was ND never questioned in terms of deserving the at-large bid? I'm not here to argue OSU vs. ND, I'm merely stating you were a lock despite an imperfect season. Oregon vs. OSU were the only teams that...

I certainly agree that the Big Ten champ this year gets to go.....and most years. But like I asked upthread, what happened in 2000? Certainly VT deserved to go in-lieu-of Purdue. If there wasn't the conference tie-in, then what would we have? Both PSU and OSU would be going. But both...

Stop right there. There are 8 BCS spots right? Why shouldn't both ND & Oregon go? I'm glad we're playing OSU as well. Not because I hate you, but because IMO, OSU is the best possible opponent available.....and if Weis is going to be truly successful, he needs to first destroy the...

My complaint was meant to be construed in terms of "deserve"....as in ND getting the invite over the ducks. Sure we could join the big 10 and have a chance at going via automatic invite. We could also join the big east and have the same opporutnity. While winning the big ten would certainly...

Where is Purdue in 2K? I'll be the first to admit that the Big Ten's champions have been among the most deserving, but that's not always the case......and when coupled with some of the "champions" the other BCS conferences have offered, there really is little room to argue about "deserve" and...

Certainly $$$ is one of the big, if not biggest issues. But there are others that are certainly as compelling. First and foremost, alumni support. The $hit really hit the fan when it was broken that our AD was talking with the Big Ten. We like playing the national schedule, and want to...

Actually, I asked what it was that could pertpetuate equal hatred for ND vs Michigan......with the assumption that it was a rivalry the likes of which could not be equalled. All I got was the same cliche's and half-truths that I could read on any board from San Diego St. to Syracuse. This...

I think it's only a matter of time. Probably later than sooner now that we are on an upturn (IMO another Davieham pick would have hastened the issue). When it does happen, the Big Ten is the only conference I'd want to be a member of.
