Ohio State will beat Florida by atleast 14, and ND will beat LSU in a close game.

Is ND capable of playing close in a bowl?

Fiesta Bowl January, 2000 Loss - Notre Dame 9, Oregon State 41
Gator Bowl January 1, 2003 Loss - Notre Dame 6, NC State 28
Insight Bowl December 28, 2004 Loss - Notre Dame 21, Oregon State 38
Fiesta Bowl January 2, 2005 Loss - Notre Dame - 20, Ohio State 34

I was particularly fond of the 2004 loss to the Beavers.


Q: What do the Fighting Irish and Marijuana have in common?
A: They both get smoked in a bowl.

I throw the 2004 Bowl game against Oregon State out. They just got done fireing ty, and it was unsure if the team really wanted to play in the game or not. If you were a ND fan, you would know that all the players who normally play did not play in that game, and they did not play the way they could.

and your joke, its an old one man. Get some new material, cause that is sorry sh1t!

I know it's old, win a bowl game and it'll go away.....

Nice change of picture there brother, I'm honored....LOL

nice avatar, you wanna talk Michigan vs ND results the past 3 years?? Does my new Avatar remind you of when Darius Walker, playing in his first game as a Freshman tore Michigan a new a-hole????

just take a look at the UM player in the background, walking around with his head down. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Doesn't he graduate this year? Wasn't his freshman year the same year as Brandy's?

9/16/2005 vs. Michigan(11-1) L 47-17
9/10/2005 @ Michigan (7-5) W 17 10
9/11/2004 vs. Michigan (9-3) W 28 20
9/13/2003 @ Michigan (10-3) L 0 38

In the words of a very wise man, don't get hard dick....I'm just playin' with ya.

My bad, he's a junior. He's evidently not getting better with age he had a womping 10 carries for 25yds this year.

9/16/2006, they lost to Michigan. :p

GO BLUE!

LSU will beat ND in a close game. What's the over/under. I think 45pts max. LSU defense will keep the ND offense in check. I'm not a fan of that LSU offense, but the defense is excellent enough to cause Quinn to make mistakes.

As regards to Quinn, no way, no how, he was the best player in college football. Haven't seen Troy Smith do any damage to not win the Heisman.

Oklahoma wipes out Boise St. I've never been a fan of the Big 12 schools, but OK is that good, and they been doing it w/o Peterson. Now imagine what's going to happen now.

Ohio St. takes care of Fla with ease. High Scoring yes!

Michigan beats USC. The only thing that beats Michigan is Jet-lag.

I'm not sold on Wisconsin, but I wasn't with Arkansas either.

ACC schools <snicker>

I see Mich a 1.5 favorite. Better jump on that ship.

Thanks, I don't sports bet (except horse racing and the 6-1 I received on NYY winning the world Series in 1998), but if Michigan is anything 2.5 favorite or less, that could be a good bet.

IrishofNDman,

At least the SEC teams don't play Moe, Larry, or Curly. Sorry I mean Army, Navy, and Air Force in the same year. I don't even think they play them period. If your team of wannabe's was in the SEC im sure Weiss would be getting the pink slip after three years. Isn't it true that the boosters don't except 7-4 or 8-3 records each year. That would be a good year for them. Before you put a conference down make sure your teams has the balls to play in a conference. Im not talking about Conference USA, MAC, Mountain or the Big Least. I still would like to know what your smoking or snorting. The reason im asking is that it must be some pretty cheap garbage that is messing up your brain cells.

We'll see how good the SEC is once they stop beating the hell out of each other. The only team im moderately impressed with is LSU. Besides that they have been mediocre. I'll take the top 3 teams in the big ten over the sec any day. Second, you people whining for wisconsin, they can't go to a bcs bowl. Only two teams from each conference can go. So regardless of how good they are, they get bumped out.

Oh c'mon man! I want them to still play NAVY each year. That streak has got to come to an end. Navy had there chances in the past and BLEW IT! They always seem to go to a bowl every year still it seems like.

Skippy,
I didn't remember the Bullshot Championship Series having that rule. I guess thats why an under achieving over hyped Notre Dame with their Heisman wannabe gets in then. Wisconsin pretty much has nothing to play for this year. Reminds of a few years ago when it was either Kansas or Kansas State had a one loss year and they got stuck with the Holiday Bowl. They lost that game. Same scenario with Wisconsin. I don't remember the year and I think it was before the BCS was formed. Do you remember the year?

That game was Kansas St vs. Purdue. They say Kansas St didn't show up to the game and let Purdue win

Nascar,
you talk about ND playing Navy, Army, and AirForce like all the big teams in college football don't play these cupcake teams.

Let us take a look at who Florida, and SEC team plays:
Central Florida
Kentucky
West Carolina????? I mean, West Carolina?????? You got to be kidding me!!! Navy, Army, and Air Force would kill West Carolina. Navy would beat all three of the teams I just named, and about 3 other teams on Floridas schedule!

ALL and I mean ALL teams play a few easy games, ND has played Army for a long long time now, it is a tradition.

Tradition Smadition...you want to be high in the polls...Your AD better schedule somebody with some POP!

oink oink anothe M.C. pig speaks up. way to stay on topic there, neanderthal man!
lol
i know plenty about football, more than a lot of guys. certainly enough to know that notre dame gets a bowl bid most years due to $, not ability. also why they start so high in the pre-season polls, because of name recognition. but then the playing starts, and down they go....

LOL Deb! Hilarious... :D (And true.)

surprised he's still able to type on a keyboard, those knuckles must be sore from all that dragging....

...could be voice controlled thingy from RadioShack!

Nice racist quote biatch! I'm black so my knuckles must drag on the ground like a monkeys right?? I hate racist people like you. I may be black, but I know I'm sure as hell a lot smarter than you and have a lot more knowledge about the game of football. You should be kicked out of here for that racist remark, what a fricken B-I-T-C-H!

another thing, with my degree from ND I'm sure I will make a lot more money than any of you fools!

Yo Irish: I don't think anyone knew you were a black man! I certainly didnt! I believe they were referring to your "Neanderthal" comments mocking women as sportsfans. You really need to calm down....you might miss bowl season!

You may be rich, but you suck as an analyst Mr. Bettis.

:eek:

OOOO since I'm black I have to be Jerome Bettis, can't I be Joe Theisman?

LOL, sure, he sucks too.

What former Michigan football player has made a good analyst?

You are missing the point...And you owe these ladies an apology! No one was commenting on you being black!

Desmond is not good, Dierdorf was awful....

see what an conversation when you stop drinking your teams Kool-Aid is like?


RATIONAL

I owe an apology? For what???? If I made a comment on cooking or shopping, I wouldn't expect a women to believe or take what I said seriously. Just like when a women talks sports, they shouldn't expect me to believe that they have any clue in what they are talking about. Sports is not a womens area, just like shopping and cooking is not a mans.

I'm being rational, I never said Jerome or Theisman were good analyst. Theisman annoys the piss out of me with his comments. So I am being rational.

Are you still in school? maybe you should take a class in Social studies...because your comments scream "lack of understanding/insensitivity. It's a brand new world out there...gender specific jobs rarely exist nowadays. Ever heard of Wolfgang Puck? And apparently your Mother(God bless her) wasn't able to pass on manners and social graces to you!

My family is like this:

My Dad, brother, brother in laws, and I all watch sports and do things like that.

My sisters and mom all go out shopping together, and like to cook and do things like that. They could give two sh1ts less about any sporting event, which is how I expect them to be.

How the hell old are you? Are you in college? Shouldn't you be on the college football board at ESPN?

Who cares what color you are? That is definitely NOT what she meant and nobody else here thought that but YOU! It seems to me that you have the problem with your skin color... get over it!

I knew plenty of people with degrees working in the warehouse next to me! It's just a piece of paper unless you have the requisite skills to give an employer!
