It'll be good to resume a classic rivalry from yesteryear. For now, I believe it is still just a home-and-home. Sounds like an invitation for a liquor-addled Digger Phelps to ramble on about his glory days. No thanks. Unlike certain First Take hosts, Notre Dame-related ESPN personalities don't wander around drunk. :wink:
-
What do you think of the ND/UCLA rivalry resuming next season, Raisin? I like it for purely selfish reasons - we'll finally have a marquee non-conference game on the schedule yearly, and having a road game at Pauley will do wonders for the resume, barring a complete beatdown. The Irish are a 3 seed in Bracketology this week - I would've given us a 4, but if they go to UConn and win (then take care of business against Rutgers), they'd have to be a 3.
-
Ohio State will get in the NCAA tournament, but boy oh boy, they are not good. They completely screwed up every opportunity they had to get back in the game today.
-
Damn, Hendry, how much did you have to drink? -
It is at this point that I submit that I was shredded for even suggesting a possibility that Purdue was the best team in the Big Ten - and now they're 10-1 and a game or more up on everybody.
-
Huge win by Louisville over Georgetown. ND now tied with the Hoyas in the loss column (though GTown owns the tiebreaker having beaten the Irish). The UConn and Louisville games are going to be tremendous.
-
I will quit the Panthers if we trade Smith. You have no offense for an entire year, no running game whatsoever, so you're going to trade your receiver who had 1,000 yards while dealing with FOUR different quarterbacks and was the only good thing going on offense? Unless we get like three first-rounders for him, no thanks.

no wonder they have a long home winning streak Marquette did nothing but chuck treys all game long, and when they did go inside we had defensive breakdowns and had no one to stop them. It wasn't a very physical game on our end at all. really? because the box score says that Notre Dame took 23 threes, and Marquette took 25.... plus Marquette had 73 shots from the field compared to just 60 for Notre Dame. I watched the game, and I'd like to think I'm fair enough that I'd know if we'd caught a break. I didn't keep count but we probably got away with 2-4 fouls that I would've whistled, while Marquette got away with a couple of travels. Marquette had more shots because we tried to play keep-away at the end and because we had more turnovers.

I like ND, but I couldn't help rooting for Marquette there. I just still can't believe Zeller got Mr. Basketball over James, and for some reason that makes me dislike Zeller. I'm not saying it makes sense, just the way it is. Forget James, Josh McRoberts was in that class too. ND scared the crap out of me with late turnovers but they held off Marquette 86-83. 18 and 11 for Harangody, and seven guys scored at least seven points. A total team effort today to make it 34 in a row in the Joyce. ND should shoot into Top 15-ish territory on Monday.

Im in A week after commencement...yeah, I should be able to make it. :D
-
I am incredibly psyched up for this ND/Marquette game. With @UConn and a home date with Pitt as 2 of the next 3 games after this, it'd be big to get this one. Let's make it 34 in a row at the Joyce.

Sporting news rates NL catching duos - Cubs 9th
Andy replied to Schwarber Fan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
If I hadn't known what they really meant by "Soto is mobile" I would've laughed for weeks at it. I don't see the Cubs' guys doing worse than Bard/Barrett in SD. -
The other sports thing works great on other boards I post on, too. It's definitely something worth exploring.
-
Illinois has to be one of the toughest-luck teams in the nation. Just off the top of my head they've lost two close ones to IU and one to Purdue. How many more of these have there been?
-
He won't. Clausen will be a great one. Brady Quinn, 2003: 157/332, 1,831 yards, 9 TD, 15 INT (13 times sacked, ND's record 5-7) Jimmy Clausen, 2007: 138/245, 1,254 yards, 7 TD, 6 INT (34 times sacked, ND's record 3-9) Jimmy will be more than fine.

Love it. I don't have class that day so I will be able to play VWR lottery all day. -
In terms of rankings? All I know about ESPN is that they have decent writeups of all of the commits. More than I would have expected, actually. I meant in terms of quality, maybe even accuracy. Would I be correct in valuing Scout more than ESPN (and of course Rivals more than ESPN). I don't know anything about ESPN's new recruiting team, but they rated Clemson's class No. 2 in the nation when neither Scout nor Rivals had them in the top 10, so I'm going to ignore them for the time being.

I think I'm going to spring for MLB.TV this year...assuming that the whole 'me getting Cubs games even though they're technically in my blackout area' continues.

Oh darn, now all we have is Jonas Gray. :wink:

Notre Dame clobbers Seton Hall 95-69 on the road behind 22 and 13 by the awesome Luke Harangody along with 21 from Kyle McAlarney. 17-4, 7-2, and the next game will be the biggest of the season as Marquette comes to town Saturday and the Irish look to avenge their blowout loss at the Bradley Center.
-
For all the crap (some deserved, some not) that Charlie Weis received for his "new definition of commitment" after last year's fiasco, it worked brilliantly. 24 verbals and only one defector, quickly replaced by Lewis-Moore. I've seen plenty of articles mentioning that the 23 are excited to turn ND around and have talked to each other a lot this last year. It'll be fun to watch. Let's hope for 24. Milton Knox

It's definitely possible. I rooted for the Braves out of geography as a little kid (though admittedly knew less than nothing about baseball), moved to Indiana at age 10, and eventually picked up the Cubs, and it wasn't something I set out to do. Atlanta's just another team to me now - though I do like Chipper and Andruw Jones, the only two Braves I really remember watching prior to my switch. Everyone else in this thread is right. Switching teams is not something that just happens. Eventually, you fall in love with a team, whether you can help it or not.

I'm disappointed in Republicans this year. They really are going to have this come down to a borderline-loony preacher and a RINO? I might vote Obama after all.
-
I haven't heard much about them. They seem to be one of those teams that always seems to coach their recruits up well no matter where their class ranks, though.
