Just a few facts and figures to consider....

Since Notre Dame's last national championship run in 1993 (the Irish finished 11-1 and #2 in both polls that year), their overall record has been just 114-79-1, for a .590 winning percentage.

During that 16-year period, Notre Dame has had four head coaches: Lou Holtz (1994-1996); Bob Davie (1997-2001), Tyrone Willingham (2002-2004, with Kent Baer as interim coach for one game after Ty was canned), and Charlie Weis (2005-2009).

During that 16-year period, Notre Dame has had two ten-win seasons (2002 and 2006), and six non-winning seasons (1999, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2007, and 2009).

During that 16-year period, Notre Dame has had losing records against traditional rivals Southern Cal (4-11-1, .300 winning percetage); Michigan (4-7-0, .364 winning percentage); Michigan State (5-9-0, .357 winning percentage); and Boston College (6-8-0, .429 winning percentage). Notre Dame is also 0-3 versus Ohio State during that time.

During that 16-year period, Notre Dame has finished the season as a ranked team seven times, and as an unranked team nine teams. Notre Dame's best finish in the polls was after the 2005 season, when they were ranked #9 in the AP and #11 in the CP.

During that 16-year period, Notre Dame's record in bowl games is 1-9, including 0-5 in major bowl games. Notre Dame was outscored in those ten bowl games by the average score of 35 to 21.

During that 16-year period, Notre Dame has had only five first team All Americans, and just two "consensus" All Americans.

Five years ago, Urban Meyer passed on the Notre Dame job, allegedly because he believed that no one could win at Notre Dame anymore. Maybe he had a point....

Digger Phelps on ESPNews just said that everybody playing ND is the Super Bowl. He said that TSUN-tOSU was a Big Ten war, but TSUN-ND was the Super Bowl.

Fuck you, Digger.

Well, if the super bowl featured two teams which had no business playing in the super bowl, I'd agree with Digger.

I mean, does it get better than a .500 ND playing a sub .500 Michigan?

Yeah my hate for ND runs deep just like it does for State and Minnesota. HOWEVER, ask any Michigan fan which game means the most to him or her. I'm sure you all know the answer. USC probably means more to ND fans.

Michigan and ND used to have some crazy battles several years ago. Times have changed though.
