Evidently, Ohio State sucks and ND is great

Just ask any Catholic in the USA.

Nope, I'm a catholic and am all Buckeye, have been my whole life.

i cannot wait for this game to be played.

i am tired of the following things:

1. the continual pimping of ND's near win against usc. ASU and Fresno were close to doing the same, they didnt have a bye week to help them. usc played 4 of 5 on the road to open the year as well.

2. nd revisionist history. the loss to msu isnt as bad because msu was good at the beginning of the year, and tanked after the win against ND. however michigan being much better than they were early on, and the fact that they were missing 4 starters against ND is irrelevant.

3. the somehow preconceived notion that tennessee has a much better defense than osu and nd manhandled them. nd had 343 total yards, got 2 td's from defense and special teams, and got the ball twice inside ut's 30. ut was 5-6 with a loss to vandy on the resume.

4. the refusal of the media or anyone that is a fan of nd to accept the fact that the 2 best defenses nd faced held them to an average of 288 ypg, along with an average of 22 offensive ppg.

if osu wins this game, all you will here is how nd is now battle tested and ready for their nc run in 06.

This sums it up nicely. I would add:

5. The media insisting, no demanding, no screaming how Charlie Weis led Notre Dame through a "horribly tough schedule" despite beating 3 teams with winning records...who all now have 5 losses except Navy, who has 4.

Oh please. That's at least the 10th toughest thing to do.

1. Stop Reggie Bush
2. Stop Matt Leinhart
3. Stop Dwyane Jarrett
4. Stop LenDale White
5. Sack Matt Leinhart
6. Stop Dominique Byrd
7. Stop Brady Quinn
8. Stop Jeff Somardija
9. Stop Vince Young
10. Stop Charlie Weis... from eating that sandwich.

I think there are a lot of Catholics on this board who live and die in scarlet and gray. And, isn't St. Francis DeSales an important connection in our coaching staff?

If it was 31-30, great, as long as Quinn and Lienart are picking their asses up off the ground 20 or 30 times. As long as their teams go home, humbled, sore and broken. I think I may have heard this analogy on this site, but I hope that OSU and Texas' D put a sack of hammers beat down on these weak-ass, no tough competition playing, fraudulent punks who are supposedly the 2 best teams in the history of world.

This what you had in mind for an after game discussion?

"No really. I know he's your brother. But sweetheart, it's what I do for a living. I had my head down and I thought it was Darius. No, really. C'mon, can't we talk about this. By the time next season rolls around you'll never know he had any broken bones. What's losing an inch of height gonna do to his pro prospects? A bit shorter won't hurt at his height. I promise. Look, he's a really strong guy and they heal quickly. Look at Carps. Really, babe, trust me. He won't walk with that limp forever. And he met that really cute nurse. C'mon hon. No, really..."

You know, I am not so upset because of the teams the media has chosen to hype this way, but because it is just more proof how completely unprofessional this garbage is and how unprofessional the (all) media has become. "Create the story, not report it"... An '05 USC vs. the "best of all time" discussion??? WTF???...How about we talk about '05 USC vs. '05 Texas? Jeezus!!...They haven't even beaten them yet...The season isn't over yet you media schmucks....
