The Blue Board

Those teams have tradition and recent success.

Notre Dame is missing one.

Your program used to great but it isn't anymore and won't be unless Jesus himself comes down and coaches the team.

Get over yourself.

I would. No one really wants to coach ND. If they did they would have gotten someone better than Brian Kelly.

That's like Chicago Cubs fans mocking Rays fans for not winning a WS yet..... the Rays have been the much better team in recent memory

How old are you?

Mike Shula and Mike Dubose were better coaches and more successful than Ty Willingham and Charlie Weis.

You dont know what you are talking about.

Notre Dame, like every other division one football school, uses the NCAA minimums for student athletes they want to recruit to their school.

Those standards are LOWER than the standards for the regular student body.

USC has that exact same standard of admission for their football players as does Colorado and Texas Tech and pretty much everyone in division 1. I hate to break it to you.

Notre Dame also USUALLY doesnt take transfers from junior colleges. (Much like Stanford and a couple of other places) unless its a very special case. USC has no problem doing that.

I'm 32. Case and point. If you were atleast 5-10 years older you would have some inclination as to what I'm trying to get across. But to you the Irish are the Montreal Canadiens. Awesome history...that you know nothing about.

Come on....1988 wasnt THAT long ago. I'm sure there are at least a couple kids on the Irish roster that were alive then. Maybe. Okay maybe not, but at least its close.

You know nothing. You probably didn't start paying attention to football until 2002-2003...what people don't realize is ND has gone over 20 year stretches before.

What you won't accept is how the game has changed and it is not in ND's favor.

You are and will be irrelevant for a long time to come.

You're the one that doesn't know what you're talking about. You just don't get it.

Of course, every university in the country makes academic allowances for athletes...Notre Dame or Stanford's allowance would be the quackers honor student. Basically, your university will accept anyone who can write a check, and not dead over ten days. That's who your pothead thugs are competing with in the classroom.

So would USC, why do you think Lane hired the man that came up with "Academic Gameplan" ? Because we had too many kids that were struggling academically. The kids we've been recruiting the past two years include some outstanding students. Our center enters his senior season in his second year in the masters program, and he's not the only one.

Shit just got deep.

II,

Why would a kid want to come to South Bend over Baton Rouge,Tuscaloosa,LA,Tallahassee,Gainseville,Miami,Austin etc.?
