Now thats a fact, JACK!
is everyone going to start crying when they finally let him drive a pick-up at 5:59?I saw on a local channel that Rudy is going to be at Nielsen Dodge dealership in East Hanover, NJ on Saturday from 2 to 6.

I'll give him Auburn too. He would have started at Auburn.Also, A&M is top 5 in total offense and scoring offense, has a Heisman type QB.
ND isn't even on the same planet as an offensive team, and im not sure their QB would even start at most SEC schools, maybe Kentucky and Missouri.
It's obvious you're an intelligent individual, and I understand where you're coming from. ND people get the same type of treatment here, from some of the posters. The modus operandi may vary, but it goes to the same agenda. The problem is, it's not right in either direction. I realize all Alabama posters aren't rude and disrespectful, and neither are Notre Dame's. There is a segment of every board, and general population for that matter, who can't seem to communicate in an appropriate manner. They either don't know what they're talking about, don't know how to effective say what they mean, or are attention hounds. People who are civil and intelligent, don't judge the many from the few.Here's what you're missing. ND is not the flagship school of any state, certainly not of Indiana. In fact, if anything, it's the flagship school of a particular denomination of Christianity. If I could make myself comfortable on any rival board, made up predominately of folk from the north, which didn't demonize the South in general, and the State of Alabama in particular, I'd happily visit or even participate. So far, I've not found such a board. The demonizing is what really gets under our skin, particularly the tendency to fight the battles of the Civil War and the pains of desegregation all over again. It's particularly irritating when my families were Union people and the people I find myself arguing with didn't even have any ancestors in this country at the time of the Civil War. I'm going to visit "Friendly's" board and see if Notre Dame's fans there have finally matured enough to move the discussion to football and only football. I'm not optimistic, but I'll at least sample and see if I can stand reading the posts. I live in a city with the second largest high-tech center in the country, with an educational level and per capita income level far above, for example, Indiana, and I get a bit tired of condescension from people who can't even spell the word...
Speaking of our common opponent, here's some links to one of their sites' analysis of the two games.Alabama and Notre Dame have one common opponent, Michigan.
http://mgoblog.com/content/upon-further-review-2012-offense-vs-notre-dameLike, oh my God. Alabama does that to everyone. It is virtually impossible to tell how Michigan will do against an earthly defense when this is basically the best defense since M 1997 minus some important guys and the guys replacing the important guys are dudes like DeMarcus Milliner, who is insane. Insaaaaaaaaaaane.
Honey Badger was beaten on several "smash" routes in last year's BCSNCG.ND: often showed extremely soft coverage, ran cover zero behind it, never had their corners tested, and never had their OLBs put in a bind.
I'm not just talking about bubble screens here. In either of the top two frames, a simple smash concept is an easy read Michigan—one Denard was doing way back in the day—is in advantageous position on.
http://mgoblog.com/content/upon-further-review-2012-defense-vs-notre-dameIf you want to sanity-check those numbers, Alabama averaged 6.2 YPC while running two-thirds of the time. Other than the Avery fall, Michigan kept the Alabama passing game in decent check, but it doesn't matter when you get crushed that badly on the ground.
I thought these might be of interest.Michigan was one stumble away from holding Notre Dame to under 200 yards of total offense. ND drives started at the Michigan 17, 39, and 48 in the first half and Michigan still gave up a total of 13 points on nine drives (ND had a tenth on which it was not trying to score, FWIW.)
Hilarious!!!!!!!!!is everyone going to start crying when they finally let him drive a pick-up at 5:59?
Is that anything like looking at the only game that we lost, discussing how you could exploit our weaknesses? Because the Manziel property works so well in college football. Especially when he's not on your team.Yeah because the transitive property works so well in college football. Especially at the beginning of the year.
"That's what I'm talking about, Jack!"What I found interesting was that Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty had Bradshaw pulling splinters out of his butt from sitting on the bench when they were both at Louisiana Tech.
Now that's my kinda show by the way....
"Yuppy"... now that's a good word for the Notre Dame crowd. They'd all drown if they walked outside while it was raining....
And here come the Irish...Fun, good-natured, rib poking is encouraged.
Right, but if we beat you no one is going to say, "well, we beat Alabama, Alabama lost to A&M, thus ND could beat A&M." That just isn't going to happen. There were other intangibles going on against Michigan. We had lost to them the last 3 years, and they are our second biggest rival. It was our QB's second full game (and he got pulled for the second half).Is that anything like looking at the only game that we lost, discussing how you could exploit our weaknesses?

Pedantic, but the transitive property(which is invalid anyway) would only apply to teams the loser beat.Right, but if we beat you no one is going to say, "well, we beat Alabama, Alabama lost to A&M, thus ND could beat A&M."

I'm just saying that it is not difficult to make a case that 'bama could dominate us. But using the Michigan game as prima facie evidence that it will happen is insufficient.
Good call. I actually meant to put Georgia. Poster I was responding to was talking about us analyzing A&M, so I had written that for some reason.Pedantic, but the transitive property(which is invalid anyway) would only apply to teams the loser beat.
If ND wins, you could say ND could beat LSU.
If Alabama wins, we could say Alabama could beat Oklahoma.
ND beating Alabama says nothing about ND's ability to beat the teams Alabama LOST TO, unless you go meta, in which case, the top 6 teams in the SEC are all equal since they only lost to each other, and ND would have effectively beaten them all with a win.
I don't know, they're a hell of a lot better than the Texas fans so far. They may settle in...I get a feeling that we will soon be watching the door swing as our guests are thrown out the door.
How could you ask for a better BCSNCG? This is a dream match-up for both fanbases with two traditional powers, both with storied history battling for college football's ultimate prize.I don't know, they're a hell of a lot better than the Texas fans so far. They may settle in...
