Didn't watch the game, but listened to it. Losing sucks, but in reality Notre Dame just can't quite get over the hump against some of the top programs in the nation. It is what it is.
To my point: I always have a hard time finding out what I'm supposed to measure up as a good season after a loss that will probably knock ND out of the playoff picture so early in the season. Fair or unfair, that's the reality. ND could technically get into the playoff, but it's sort of out of their control. A lot of variables have to fall in place for them. Not being in a conference is kind of a drag. Even if you get knocked out of the playoffs you still can look forward to a conference championship. Not so for ND. Seems like playoffs or bust. In order to do that ND has to run the table. One loss and the season is kind of in limbo. What do you all consider a good season after a loss like this? I don't mean the program is in a death spiral of "fire Kelly' or any of that. I just mean, what's the measuring stick now? I usually say beat USC and Navy, win the bowl game. That seems a little anticlimactic now. Thoughts? |

Yeah basically. I’m hoping this year we get a favourable matchup. LSU and OSU twice were all probably the toughest matchups we could have drawn all of those years. That’s not counting Bama and Clemson.

Agreed. Schedule is shaping up nicely to attain that.

I agree, I think GA has a good chance to win out and we can only hope they win the sec. have to be a GA fan and the Irish have to win out. A big ten team, big 12, and Clemson will get in. We have to hope there are not two sec teams.

What’s wrong with trying for 11-1 and a big bowl? That isn’t exactly a lost season. Yes, I know ND is playing for titles. But they win one in about 12% of their seasons. Those other 88% aren’t for nothing.

Love that those who predicated an nd loss now feel compelled to tell everyone that georgia is actually crap. LSU just let vandy score 40 on them but your right georgia wont even put up a fight

Well it won’t be because GA doesn’t play either of these teams in the regular season. So GA is either playing Bama or LSU on neutral field and that’s pretty much a done deal. So we can say LSU and BAma will win, and guess what it will happen that we will find out. All I am saying is we better hope GA wins and by more than 6.

What are we playing for? Is it just the championship?
Rudy: No it's for everyone who told me that being a Notre Dame football player would be impossible. My brothers, the guys I work with at the mill...they can't come to practice and see that I am a part of this team. Coach Parseghian: [sighs] OK. Rudy: OK? Coach Parseghian: You deserve it. You will dress for one game next season. Rudy: [can barely hold in his excitement] Thank you Coach! |

Watching last night, it really sucked to realize that the type of electricity and intimidation coming from that stadium could never be matched in south bend. It was the definition of home field advantage.
I wasnt there for the Bush Push game, but thats the last time ive even heard a tale of our stadium being remotely hostile.
