Posted Sunday September 27, 2009, About: How bad is Tebow's concussion?
In 2004 USC and Oklahoma were #1 and #2 preseason. Auburn was #18. It made no difference how much Auburn blows out their opponents, or how bad their ooc schedule was, if USC or OU don't screw up the Tigers have no chance to play for the BCS title.

I agree about the character thing, but if I were a UCLA fan I wouldn't be too excited about getting a guy who's heart is clearly somewhere else.
Posted Sunday June 28, 2009, About: Ex-Irish TE may transfer to UCLA
I'm just guessing here, but the "idiot" would be The New Vols (#45) for suggesting such a "good" kid did something foolish. "ResLife" must be an abbreviation of ND's Office of Residence Life (whatever that means) that banished the kid until after Christmas.

I tend to agree with The New Vols. In his statement Fauria described himself as "a good guy, a fun-loving guy" as though to justify whatever he did as good-hearted fun. He also said he wanted a fresh start and didn't want to be under a microscope and "not be myself".

jps2323 comments as though Fauria is a friend or relative, and maybe he is a good kid. But even good kids get stupid sometimes, and whatever he did may be excusable at most other schools. Without more info, all we know is that the kid paid a big price for something he did, but was it justified?

Maybe.....but no one is gonna take your word for it without knowing what he did.

You could mean "preciously", but I think you mean "precisely"...... can't always tell when you ND-types get on your high horse.

There are plenty of high-quality academic programs that Notre Dame could compare to, but Stanford is a bit out of your reach. My son had athletic offers from many schools, but only Stanford required prospects to first be accepted by the school of admissions before an athletic scholarship could be tendered. That included offers from ND, but not Duke, who I've been told has requirements similar to Stanford. Again, ND is a fine school academically, just not as fine as you would like to think.

On a T&R thread the other day it was reported by ND that Fauria would not be enrolled for the summer or fall. That sounds more like citizenship than academics, or it could be a serious family problem which is why he is transferring close to home.

Posted Friday June 26, 2009, About: Moeller QB picks Irish over Buckeyes
Since you like to compare freshman/soph seasons for Clausen and Stafford, what's to say Clausen's junior year won't be like Stafford's?

Besides McCoy, Bradford, and Tebow, Terrelle Pryor, Daryll Clark, Jevan Snead, Todd Reesing, and Zac Robinson are as just likely to have Heisman years as Clausen. And that's just the QB's.

I think you're letting one game in Hawaii put stars in your eyes. For Clausen to get the hype you're looking for, ND would have to win them all. They say anything's possible, but reality suggests even IF Clausen has a good year in 2009, he MIGHT be a frontrunner for 2010.

Careful with the name-calling, you can look just as idiotic as the next guy. For instance, you're gauging effectiveness as a college quarterback with draft position. Jake Locker will go ahead of Tebow in the draft next year, but I seriously doubt he'll have as good a year in 2009.

And as for better quarterbacks, besides the obvious 3 and Locker, there's Jevan Snead, Daryll Clark, Terrelle Pryor, Todd Reesing and Zac Robinson who should have outstanding seasons or at least demonstrate outstanding talent, depending on which criteria you use. If any others step up, your boy Clausen will have a hard time breaking the top ten of 2009 QBs.

And that's best case scenario. If ND's opponents don't look as bad as Hawaii last year, all your dreams go up in smoke and Clausen will probably be the goat.
Posted Saturday May 30, 2009, About: Paterno says no to Notre Dame
The day Notre Dame joins a conference is the day they start sliding into obscurity. When ND's #1 becomes winning a conference like everyone else, interest in the team from outside the conference will start circling the toilet bowl.

It's not their tradition that keeps folks interested because tradition is just memories that eventually fade. ND remains interesting because their indy status is unique in CFB, and when that's gone, so will be the conceit that makes the rest of us love or hate them.

Yale's "Boola Boola" beats them both.
Posted Friday May 15, 2009, About: Paterno to lobby for playoff system
Maybe it's because I don't hang around basketball threads, but I don't hear a lot of grumbling about how revenues from March Madness are distributed. If the NCAA adopted a playoff for FBS, I expect the terms of revenue distribution would be dictated by the NCAA and the conferences would have no bargaining positions.

This guy is the second coming of Klee Irwin / Stuntman Mike / McLovin / The Humungous / etc.; only with a lobotomy.
Posted Saturday April 04, 2009, About: USC defense makes new QBs look bad
"It's sad to constantly read comments from losers that aren't bright enough to get into ND, let alone their own state schools. Must suck being you fellas, huh?" - USC QB's NO SB's

Gariboy- This is a direct quote. Sounds like the second coming of Klee Irwin (et al). I guess he didn't like the answers he got on the other thread so he decided to dump on this one.
Posted Wednesday March 04, 2009, About: Pac-10 commissioner front-runner
From personal experience I have a very low opinion of Kevin Towers, the Padres GM. The fact Alderson kept him around all those years tells me Alderson prefers to keep the status quo, even if it's mediocrity. Not exactly the guy I'd want if I was hoping for some changes.
Posted Thursday February 19, 2009, About: Top 2010 QB recruit narrows list
Leave it to a dorky Domerhomer to tweak Hamlet on FanNation and think it's amusing.

Whatever would a USC fan be jealous of regarding Notre Lame? That USC has beat ND 7 in a row? That ND has only one top-ten finish in the last 15 years? That the great Weis is large and in charge? Perhaps it's ND's #21 ranked recruiting class.

You dreamers are putting way too much stock in your last win against #2 in the WAC.

Posted Thursday February 05, 2009, About: How Notre Dame landed Te'o
Only a Domerhomer would really care.

As the only BCS school not playing in a conference Notre Dame has some great rivalries, but those games mean nothing to conference standings of the teams they play. ND can lose any two games and still be guaranteed a BCS bowl if they're ranked #8 or better. Texas Tech only lost one game this year and were automatically out of the BCS.

I don't care about the NBC deal, if enough mackeral snappers stay tuned, they deserve their own TV deal. But I resent the special treatment by the BCS just so ND can cling to the arrogant and archaic notion they are "America's team" and too good for a conference. Nothing personal, but I hope they stay weak long enough to be forced to apply to the Big East or Big 10.
Posted Thursday February 05, 2009, About: How Notre Dame landed Te'o
Shoulda, coulda, woulda. Texas, Florida and USC were each ONE play away from a perfect season. And ND was also one play away (vs. Navy) from another losing season.
Posted Saturday January 24, 2009, About: Gruden to Notre Dame?
Well put. There are screwballs all around. But reading your description, the General was the first to come to mind.

I acknowledge there is a lot of unsolicited and irrational contempt directed at Notre Dame. But I think some of the acrimony for the Irish on this website are people - who otherwise would be neutral - reacting to one prolific, degenerate, conceited ND fan. In a sense, the General's wailing about ND haters becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
