NM Wrong thread... GO JACKETS!

Earlier this week, Notre Dame Athletic Director Jack Swarbrick called the conference shifting a “complete disaster." “I think the decision-making has lost its way in terms of the focus on the student-athlete and what’s primarily best for them,” he told “The Dan Patrick Show” on Wednesday. “I’m...

Starting QB for Umass. Made this game now mildly interesting to me, which is good because I want to watch football but today’s football isn’t terribly compelling on paper That said, I’m expecting him to ball out for the minutemen today and for someone to show up on Monday to tell us how we...

All true. All understandable for a freshman too. Like it’s said of several promising QBs during their freshman campaigns... we know he is going to strike up the band, we’re just not sure which one.

Can’t disagree with much in either of these two posts and at the same time I recognize that the NCAA has little control over football (which was the gist of the post you’re replying to). BUT, that didn’t happen overnight, and some of the smaller schools should have used influence they had by...

I think Stewie’s tweet is a bit inaccurate. Tons of articles out there but one of them (probably somewhere in this thread) had a really good blow by blow of the PAC demise. They had an offer of $30m / school. They countered at $50, B12 jumped on a new $30M-ish deal in the interim and PAC missed...

I didn’t (intentionally) attribute the 3 OOC patsies to you. That was my personal qualifier... if not eloquently presented. My position; We need to be a 7-5 team and 5 of those ought to be ACC wins. If we go 5-3 in ACC, our OOC can be 2-2 and we’re where we “ought” to be. If we schedule easier...

RIGHT! It’s a “road” conference game for FSU... and the whiny little twits say the ACC is screwing THEM!

Agree... and disagree. We've fired coaches for 7-5... true. Was he really fired for 7-5 or was he fired because 7 wins and a loss to UGA started to feel more like a ceiling? I think it was the latter. If we can be a "7-5" team most years (with gusts up to 8, 9 or even 10 wins...

Agree... and conceding those four, we need to get to a point where we still feel 5-3 conference, 7-5 overall is attainable. That said, next year is a real bear... in addition to those four being longshots, only one of them is a true road game, and it’s out of conference! That means that ACC...

Certainly a valid point... but seeing as changes to the OOC slate are a good 3-4 years (if not more) away, I hope we have righted the ship by that time instead. We should be 5-3 in the ACC annually. Barring the scheduling gods striking us down with a schedule that includes the top 5-6 teams...

Well, I guess at least he wasn’t blowing smoke about where he stood on the matter. We know academics drives the bus, but recounting those events as a humorous, trivial nuisance speaks volumes. I am hopeful that Cabrera’s leadership and very vocal affirmation that we can be both an elite...

Guessing he’s thinking the former AD was GT player... not to put words in anyone’s mouth

You’re right. My suspicion is the biggest factor is two years. King has two more years in college strength and conditioning. Two more years against college level defenders. Two more years with college coaching and film study. That’s a big deal. Not dismissing any of his talent, but that...

Checking the box on yet another requirement for SEC membership! :D

More likely sloppy journalism.... but also a pretty sad indictment of the ACC’s status in the minds of media and fans. I’m still not buying the notion that the ACC sucks out loud and ESPN can’t wait to get out. That’s a total fabrication by FSU fans and similar internet click bait types making...

But the real answer is to figure out how to get ND on board and go to 9 conference games.

I think you’re still railing against an argument nobody made. No one equated Ole Miss to UGA. The criteria of the post was “really tough” and “out of conference.” Both Ole Miss and UGA fit that criteria, but that was not an argument that Ole Miss = UGA. To your point; NO, we should not fear...

Let’s just chalk it up to new and exciting ways to make fun of Louisville… Surely we can all get behind that.

The Big 12 and Big Ten have blown right past 12 and 10 members respectively and the SEC (which maybe ought to just be “SC” since it’s not “South Eastern Conference”) is in the southwest and Midwest. It seems that the only “traditions” we cling to are the ones that make the least sense. :D The...
