Now the talking heads are touting that Notre Lame may be allowed to play for the ACC championship this year even though they aren't official conference members! When the H-E-Double Hockey Sticks are people going to stop kissing their Irish Arse?? I can't believe all the enablers that are perfectly comfortable with letting them have the best of all worlds.
Yep, let 'em join the conference if they want to play for a championship.
I know what you're saying. Unfortunately, until somebody takes offense at their silly leprechaun mascot and fighting Irish nickname, all they do is give the real Irish a bad name, lol.
I wish all the Power 5 conferences would get together and just tell ND to pick one or go pound sand.
There's a better chance of the pandemic ending tomorrow, than that happening...LOL Your former Commish, Jim Delany gave it his best shot, getting up the ND hierarchy before getting defeated in the end.
It was oft said, Delany would have walked to South Bend...to land ND Didn't happen then, not happening now..
I'm all for letting ND play in the conference ship. They'll get their asses kicked and open up a spot for another team to go to the dance. Look at their schedule this year; they play Clemson at home and Schittsburgh on the road........those are their two toughest games.
I wouldnt be surprised if they also requested to be spotted a 21 point lead and the opposing team has to wear scuba flippers instead of cleats.
@lionbacker99 Some would call it "bad luck o' the Irish" I call it karma, and my Father use to say "The sun dont shine on the same dog's ass two days in a row".
As I've said in the past, "Even at my advanced age; my penis still gets harder than ND's schedule".
@tsuga Not sure if you're braggin' or complainin'. But hey, as long as it works, does it matter?
Speaking of the Irish; When they make a pot of bean soup, why do they always count out and add 239 beans?
'Cause if they added another bean, it would be "too farty"
@been-there-ii:
Q) What's green, three miles long, and has an ass-hole every foot-and-a half??
A) A St Patrick's Day parade.
@culture-thrives: Hey bud you forgot Idaho St. Would you feel better if we played Wake, Duke, Syracuse and Western MI?? Glad you're still drawing breath old man!!!
I'm not talking scheduling or cup cakes. What frosts my polish behind is the fact that ND expects and gets preferential treatment. They don't want to join a conference because they "cherish" their independence (translated: don't want to share TV & bowl revenue). At the same time, they want to be included in the National Championship playoffs and now, because of COVID, be eligible to play for the ACC championship! Enough is enough!! Like Roam said , everyone should just tell them to join a conference or go pound sand.
@rip: in the last 14 games we hold a 9-5 edge over ND. Last year our SOS was ranked #32 and their's was ranked #37. We both finished 11-2 and we were ranked higher in the final rankings. I pretty much call it a wash. BUT....unlike Stormy Daniels; Notre Dame ALWAYS chokes on the big one.
@rip..You guys overrate that conference nonsense First of all, the college football playoff is the best 4 teams as rated by the CFP Committee ...It has nothing to do with being a conference champ, thats exactly why in any given yr, you can have a conference champ left out, or two teams from same conference , or two conference champs left out..And these conference title games could be done away with except for MONEY..Of course, an independent like ND, or BYU or Army for that matter, should be under consideration..Until the criteria is changed to indicate you must be a conf champ, it should remain that way, and there is no need for ND to join a conference ..
Did anyone not know that LSU, Oho St, Clemson, OKlahoma would be the final 4 last yr, of course not.. That was predictable much before the title games..
If a conference title meant anything, the Committee could easily expand to 8, include the 5 power 5 champs, and remove any argument BUT they dont, and in fact that rumor seems to have lost steam..IT APPEARS WE WILL HAVE 4, TILL THE CONTRACT EXPIRES, AND THEN WHO KNOWS Many coaches have expressed that 4 is enough, theyre content with the 4 best teams..It probably will stay that way for awhile..
if we go to 8 games the committee can’t dictate who they want to get in. I’m not saying they fix games but they do their best to get the 4 teams they want in and then it’s up for grabs with the 4 teams. 4 teams is BS needs to be at least 8
First of all, you and I disagree on this , I think the Committee , for the most part, gets it right I cant think of a yr they didnt, and I know last yr, the 4 were obvious picks, even before the title games...Thats all you need, there was a time, I preferred 8, but I can now see staying with 4...and I could be wrong, but it seems the coaches are fine with 4, including Nick Saban..
.
ND, chokelahoma, Alabama and Clemson gets the benefit of the doubt so if you’re a fan or coach of these teams you would be for 4 teams. With 8 teams the committee can still show favoritism but they can’t leave out 4 other teams that could have a chance to win the NC. I want 8 teams that way would could get all the power 5 conference championship teams in the playoffs.
