Pull the plug NBC, we want some real football! 3426025 2008-11-26T16:34:49-05:00 1595 AK Klee Irwin Nome 582256 With any luck, when it's all said and done ND won't be stinking up our airwaves every Saturday, and we can watch a real game. Pull the plug NBC, we want some real football! 121 this is typical of your typical ND hater. Moronic, insipid and frightenenly stupid. NBC does not broadcast any college football games OTHER than Notre Dame. So if ND isn't on NBC, you will see NO other college football on NBC. If you really can't stand watching Notre Dame on NBC, why don't you try changing the channel. There are on most weekends at least 30 other football games on television. If you have cable or a sat dish, you can see games on CBS, ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, the Big Ten Network, dozens on the Fox Sports Channels, Versus, the MTN channel, ESPNU, CBS PRime or something like that etc etc. But since you are a friggin fat tub of lard moron, you sit there and watch Notre Dame and yell at the TV while stuffing your face full of cheese Whiz, and then spend more time on forums reading about the team you hate and writing posts about the team you hate. Sounds like we have got you hooked. NBC thanks you, and so does ND and all the advertisers. 3461850 2008-11-23T19:20:02-05:00 1 IL thk Glenarm 441770 78 If only we could bottle the Notre Dame spirit, we could light the universe.

This year San Diego St was an exception to the BCS norm.&lt;/i&gt; They've played BYU several times. They play Nevada in 2009. They've played Air Force several times (in fact, they lost to AFA in 2007). SDSU is hardly an exception. 3427612 2008-11-26T16:27:00-05:00 1595 AK Klee Irwin Nome 582256 &lt;i&gt;they are the ONLY school in the country that plays against ALL BCS schools except for their traditional game against Navy and once in a while against another academy.

I said, other than another academy once in a while (which would be Air Force, or Army). Nevada is next year, they haven't played them yet. And once in a while, instead of an academy, they play BYU. Do you want to nitpick my nose hairs now? Playing a non BCS school is an exception for Notre Dame when you play 9-10 BCS schools a year. 3461680 2008-11-24T05:47:12-05:00 http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/792/5/thumb/Winning_Advantage.jpg 502 M Fan of Football M 7945 111 How many more years does ND need to keep losing before we stop talking about them, permenantly. 3428098 2008-11-26T16:23:59-05:00 1595 AK Klee Irwin Nome 582256 How many more years does ND need to keep losing before we stop talking about them, permenantly. 118 as long as you keep talking about them, we know we have you hooked. NBC thanks you too. 3461673 2008-11-24T08:09:22-05:00 1 XX Big Daddy 1906 No City 615685 I'm sorry, Mr. Artis, but I just don't think ND stacks up academically with UF. If you think I'm wrong, prove it. Then again, who cares - this is a college football blog, and I know for a fact that ND can't hold a candle to UF in that respect, so why don't you save you vitriol, it's irrelevant here.If you would like to go pull some academic stats of some sort, I'd be interested in that, but again, they're not really relevant here so don't go crazy with it. I think you'll be surprised at what a quality institution UF really is. 112 I hate Notre Dame as much as the next person but Artis' stats bear him out. According to US News' survey of top colleges, ND ranks 18 and UF ranks 49. My alma mater Northwestern (9-3 and going to a sweet bowl) is ranked 12 for academics. That being said, the way ND treated Willingham, they deserve all the misery they get. They have not been relevant on the BCS scene for awhile now. I hope it stays that way! 3428277 2008-11-26T16:23:10-05:00 1595 AK Klee Irwin Nome 582256 . They have not been relevant on the BCS scene for awhile now. I hope it stays that way! 117 they were just in BCS bowls in 2005 and 2006. That was just the year before last. When is the last time Northwestern was in a BCS bowl? I thought so. 3461728 2008-11-24T13:31:05-05:00 1 IN Dago Red South Bend 615882 114 The University of Notre Dame is not in South Bend, Indiana.
