Comments on: Hooked’em: ND/UT on for ’15,’16,’19 and ’20 https://dev.ndnation.com/hook-this-ndut-on-for-151619-and-20/ The Independent Voice of Notre Dame Athletics Sun, 08 Aug 2010 17:06:17 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Ted https://dev.ndnation.com/hook-this-ndut-on-for-151619-and-20/#comment-1602 Sun, 08 Aug 2010 17:06:17 +0000 https://dev.ndnation.com/?p=285#comment-1602 The constant perception of notre dame message board posters is that our schedule needs to be upgraded. That is a fallacy.

Consider these facts:

Last year Notre Dame’s schedule ranked 28th out of 121 programs.

It was better than 5 of the 10 BCS Bowl Programs

As an Independet, we will not play for the NC unless we have a perfect record. It would take a very unlikely season for our Irish to play for the NC with even 1 loss. We will be passed over.

While we might play in a BCS Bowl with two losses, that even becomes problematic.

Live in a dream world playing a terribly difficult and deep schedule.

They view that period of the season as exclusive to in-conference scheduling.

I don’t buy the heat/humidity argument…the Irish just needs to respond and put to use their “Fighting Irish” name!

GO IRISH!

Please, please, do not schedule a game down South until at least the end of October! Going back in time, our loss to A labama, Ole Mis, and other games came when our guys couldn’t beat the heat and humidity. When Penn State plays Alabama in early September, you’ll see the results.
