Notre Dame (football only discussion)

I haven't seen much from Boston College this year to suggest they give Notre Dame an extreme challenge this weekend. Of course everybody said the same thing about Pitt also. Can't believe the weak schedule of games this week. Why can't Texas A&M and Bammer be the 8pm national game instead of these guys?

1. Alabama doesn't live in our neighborhood, doesn't recruit Ohio very much, gets very little media love compared to....

2. Notre Dame which owns the Chicago media market when doing good, recruits the [Mark May] out of Ohio, plays a minimum of two Big 10 schools every year making comparison to OSU inevitable.

3. Alabama fans are ignorant, inbred pig [censored]ers who need football to retain any sense of personal or state wide worth, most of whom just got past 8th grade.

4. Notre Dame fans are obnoxious, pretentious sheep [censored]ing assholes, oblivious to what you say about them, most of whom went to another school because they couldn't afford Notre Dame.

5. Have I failed to insult both schools/fan bases enough?

Nonetheless, I'd rather deal with another Alabama NC than ND even getting to the dance.

You make fair points. I go to school in the South so I don't have to deal with ND fans as much as I do SEC fans.

So, the obvious doomsday scenario is ND getting into the NC game and winning the fucking thing. What are opinions as to the lesser of two evils between the following:


  1. ND gets into the NC game but loses but with no anal wreckage.
  2. An undefeated ND gets left out of the game but wins its bowl game finishing 13-0 and possibly winning an unofficial AP championship in the process.

Both of those scenarios are unthinkably bad. I refuse to answer.

if i'm picking, i'd go with #2. if nothing else, it will be nice to watch all the faux domers crawl out of the woodwork to bemoan the fact that they got shafted for a chance at the title. that being said, i don't see too many potential matchups with top 10 teams that would end well for them.

Oh I do. Kansas State can't be that a) good b) deep.

I want ND opposite a pissed off Alabama.

JFC, the ND sheeple are going to be insufferable now. :shake:

Unless USC pulls off an upset, most likely without Barkley (good luck with that), I may be forced to root for the SEC champion in the BCS title game.

Fuck, we picked a bad year to be on probation. :smash:

We're all USC fans now. The one silver lining is that if one team ahead of ND goes down, they all need to go down, so the chances increase that the domers will have to play Bama and Satan. Everyone else in the mix, they have a shot at beating.

Barkley probably won't play, the way they're making it sound. But, there is a silver lining.

Lane Kiffin is still the head coach for another year. That means USC has a shot against ND. A few switched jerseys, a few deflated balls, they may be able to pull it off.

My dream outcome for this season has been for OSU to be the only unbeaten team in the country. That remarkable outcome is now a very real possibility.

I can even live with rooting for USC and letting the SEC and Saban back in the mix.

Maybe we will all get lucky and Mark Richt will win his first NC. If the domers can win that one let them have it (I don't think they can).

And a special thank you to Pat Haden who tonight announced that Lane Kiffin - who guided the preseason #1 team to a minimum 4 loss season - will definitely be back next year. No other coach could so woefully squander such grand talent. We love you Lane.

If the domers make the NC game, I might need to get the [censored] out of this city for a month. I'm already noticing a lot of shiny new domer caps, jerseys and sweatshirts.

Next door neightbor hung his domer flag over the door. Never seen it before. Kid who sits next to me in Organic has started wearing a domer cap last week.

It has begun
