you know you are a complete dork and moron when the only thing you can stand on regarding your football team is the strength of schedule.....

heres a stat for you moron:

over the past three years nd has gone 21-15 while facing an avg. schedule that is ranked 11th nationally...
during the same time....the buckeyes have gone 32-6 while facing an avg. schedule of 18th nationally....one nc and two bcs bowls...

sure nd plays a slightly better schedule but you fucking blow....one can easily surmise that ohio state would have fared much better against the nd schedule than the golden flamers have....your team sucks....

why has nobody pointed out that notre dame wouldnt have the ability to schedule all these "tough games" if they would just have the balls to join a conference. talk about how great your scheduling is when you have 12 open dates to schedule, wow....notre dame sure is awesome :2004:

As far as Dihard comments are concerned heck I have said many ,many times on this board that ND has been down and OSU has faired better the last 10 years! But the schedule sure as heck shows that ND is not afraid to play a tough schedule. If anything a conference in most cases would have made for a better record...

And it is not like OSU is better than ND this year.

in reality ndchief.....they are doing themselves a disservice by trying to run the type of schedule they do....

is it ambitious...yes....but i also think it is stupid...if the domers played in the bigleast this year they would be going to a bcs bowl....

look what miami and florida state have discovered in the new acc.....it is really,really tough to line up week after week against tough teams....no easy weeks....

Well - sadly NDCHIEF got diverted into the downward spiral of which team has the better / stronger schedule. That means he has not explicitly stated the obvious fact that their team has problems both now and in prospect.


I know several ND Alums (all follow the team avidly), all are mourning the drop-off in talent, recruiting, the elan of the ND program and the generally questionable coaching, lack of timely adjustments, and poor game-day play-calling. (The recruiting has them very worried as ND seems to be getting more 2* or 3* players - when they need 4* and 5* recruits -- like the not so recent past).
In fact - there is little about The Ghost of Future Irish Football that gives them a warm and fuzzy feeling. That Ghost is pointing to a grave reading R.I.P. And the only solution any of these alums can agree on is that ND Football needs to go into a conference -- most likely the Big East. Why? So they no longer have to run a Schedule whose strength exceeds most teams on a regular basis.

I'd like to hear whether NDCHIEF believes that this is the likeliest future for The Fighting Irish.

Ohio State is better than Notre Dame this year. We ended on a high note, and would clean Notre Dame's clock. It's funny when we lose 14 players to the draft alone, and 3 assistant coaches, and we can still make that claim.

I'll try to talk to Geiger about scheduling tough out of conference competition like BYU for next year.

Oh, and congratulations on beating Tennessee and their 3rd string QB who handed the game to you.
