  Im pretty sure I know what youre doing as a ND hater. Youre emptying the chamber as fast and furious as you can before you have to just swallow hard, grin, and bear it in the near future.
  
  ND just went to 2 BCS bowl games with the 32nd and 40th ranked recruiting classes for upper classmen currently enrolled.
  
  According to Tom Lemming, last night on his show generation Next, ND is currently his 3rd ranked class for this year. Last year was a talent laden class as well.
  
  So Im sure you see the way things are moving so I understand striking while the irons hot.
  
  As far as losing 9 bowls in a row - yeah, it hasnt been too good. ND is coming out of a down period - you know like USC had from the early 80's through 2002. Like Alabama has been in for years....like Miami during the 90's, like Nebraska since Osborne retired....like Oklahoma in the 90's....Ohio St under Cooper.....
  
  Should I keep going?
  
  Anyway, keep up the good work. Without the haters we wouldnt be the NY Yankees of college football. 13 national Titles - most ever in college football.

  it's interesting that anyone who brings up the fact that ND hasn't lived up to the hype and isn't as good as the best teams in the nation is labled as an ND hater by the die hards. but that's to be expected.
  
  and as usual rather than address the points that have been set out to make the case that ND doesn't belong with the big boys, ND fans ignore these points in the present, invoke the glories of the past AND maybe's of the future.

  Last I checked they played the 33rd hardest schedule in the nation... far of "ridculously sub par"... but as we all know Wake Forest, Bosie, OU and Louis would have smoked LSU... and tOSU losing to the same exact score to a team from the same exact conference shows me ND wasn't the only thing getting "exposed" during the BCS... but logic and reason have long been void in the ND haters thinking...

  ND fans can call upon these alleged toughness of schedule stats as much as they want, but the bottom line is that they LOSE to those teams that are most responsible for making the Irish's schedule "tough."
  
  and by the way, i have no problem with ranking ND #33 based on their strength of schedule. the issue is that people think that they should be in the top 20. how can that be when 32 other teams have better schedules - and beat better teams - and ND loses to the best teams that they play?
  
  and the big 10 HAS been exposed as being overrated, and yet ND got hammered by michigan with touchdown jesus watching. ND also struggled against the spartans and didn't look all that great against purdue either.
  
  so what's your point? that with the 33rd best schedule, and losing to the good teams that they played and struggling against some sub-par teams that ND should be given credit or are worthy of the hype?

  No Notre Dame in the Big East, they had their chance. Fatso can keep his new recruits and prop them up against Army, Navy & Air Force...and whatever other fluff they can throw in...too bad the Coast Guard Academy doesn't field a team.
  
  Go 'eers! Go Big East! The U sucks!
