The defense of the schedule by you ND homers is mind boggling. Just look at it from a neutral perspective please?? Notre Dame plays a good schedule, but it simply doesn't have the depth and difficulty of the schedule a team like Georgia or even Iowa has to deal with.

Censorship SUCKS!!! FIGHT THE EVIL MEN IN POWER!!!!

You can find most of them on the sox official site....i saved them all from there for future use, including 2 currently on my sig.

I can't even watch the Bulls anymore....between our midget "bigs" and blowing leads, it makes me want to poke my eye out with a piece of sharp glass.

QUOTE(Wedge @ Jan 3, 2006 -> 12:38 AM) If that schedule isn't "too tough" I would really like to see your idea of too tough. S 02 @ Georgia Tech S 09 PENN STATE S 16 MICHIGAN S 23 @ Michigan St. S 30 PURDUE O 07 STANFORD O 21 UCLA O 28 @ Navy (Baltimore) N 04 NORTH CAROLINA N 11 @ Air Force N 18 ARMY N 25 @ Southern Cal Well North Carolina isn't any good, that's a sure win at home....ND has beaten Navy 100 times in a row, home vs. Army is an auto win, at Air Force should definitely be a win, Stanford at home should be no problem, Purdue isn't exactly a powerhouse..... That schedule isn't exactly anywhere near the level an SEC team has to face, or even a Big 10 team for that matter.

QUOTE(Wedge @ Jan 3, 2006 -> 12:26 AM) For example, here is their 2006 schedule: S 02 @ Georgia Tech S 09 PENN STATE S 16 MICHIGAN S 23 @ Michigan St. S 30 PURDUE O 07 STANFORD O 21 UCLA O 28 @ Navy (Baltimore) N 04 NORTH CAROLINA N 11 @ Air Force N 18 ARMY N 25 @ Southern Cal That schedule at face value looks tough, but not too tough IMO. At Georgia Tech is a toss up....they could be really good if they'd stop playing that BUM Reggie Ball at QB, but either way that game is still dangerous. Finishing up at USC is obviously a terror, but w/o Leinart and Bush and others, who knows with them. At Michigan State is another one that is a question mark, and Penn State is at home, but could be very tough, especially if Morelli or whoever else takes over for Robinson at QB is any good.

3 things: 1. MSU's season IMO really went downhill after the late 1st half debacle at Ohio State that ended up leading to a loss. Boy that was a game they blew, but that was after the Michigan game, so point well taken. 2. Winning at Michigan is never easy....so that WAS a great win for Notre Dame (maybe the only one all year though IMO). 3. Michigan State was on fire when they played at Notre Dame...but if Notre Dame is actually a really good or great team, they have to win that game, ESPECIALLY at home.

tOSU definitely should have beat Texas...but I'm not sure how they should have won against Penn State. It was a very tough road game, Penn State played great, and really I think people just underestimate how good the Nittany Lions are. They are going to send a message tomorrow night against Florida State imo.

QUOTE(ilsox7 @ Jan 3, 2006 -> 12:10 AM) The difference is the UM-Nebraska game involved two teams that suck. That WVU-Georgia game was two good games going at each other. Best game, with ease, thus far. And WVU opened a lot of eyes, including mine. WVU is a building powerhouse that people didn't know about, until now. Rich Rodriguez is a great coach, and they are starting to recruit great players as well. And yeah, the UM/Nebraska game was poorly played and 2 average teams, just had a fun finish. This game tonight with Georgia and West Virginia was a battle between 2 great teams, with a little of everything... fun to watch.

QUOTE(Be Good @ Jan 2, 2006 -> 11:21 PM) Marino won a playoff game in his last year. True, but I believe he's talking about the 60 point BEATDOWN Marino took in his last game at Jacksonville.

I swear, SIU would give Duke a game in Carbondale....they are unstoppable at home.

Not sure if anybody was watching it, but that Sugar Bowl was by far the best bowl game of the season. WVU jumps out 28-0, Georgia comes all the way back to get it to 31-28, WVU and Georgia trade td's to get it to 38-35. Then, with 2 min left, around midfiled, WVU with the all time balls call, going for the FAKE PUNT out of some crazy formation, and it works to ice the game. Huge win for West Virginia and the Big East over a really good Georgia team in basically a road game. That freshman duo of QB Pat White and the RB Slanton are going to terrorize their league the next few years. As for Notre Dame.....the luck of the Irish is really the only reason they stayed within 14. I despise tOSU and wanted to see the Irish win, but Weis clearly needs to get better players into South Bend (which he is doing, check recruiting rankings), because they were just out talented today.

Ahh, so THAT'S why I've never heard of Big Bad Voodoo Daddy....

The big myth is price factor. A Tejada for Count/Uribe trade only raises payroll by 1 million dollars. The reason a lot of people don't want Tejada is a mix of legit reasons (he quit on his team in the 2nd half last year, b12 questions) and stupid ones that hold no water (OMG don't get rid of more people from last year! Uribe is better than Tejada).

Terrible pitch, both teams have now came away empty once in the red zone. 14-7 Bucks still.

He isn't very good anymore, I hope he comes back for 2 more beatings next year. But with Sherman gone, I think Farve will retire.

I will say the officiating situation in bowls needs to be addressed...there have now been 2 bowl games which undeniably could have been different results had the officials not clearly blown calls.

Iowa really just decided they didn't want to play today until the 4th quarter. They had a chance to tie the game taken away, but were outplayed overall today. It's a shame Michigan and Iowa were screwed by the refs, but I despise both those teams and their obnoxious fans, so I can't say I feel bad.

Iowa getting b**** slapped so far, Florida leads 24-7 at the half. As much as I love the Big 10, I can't say I'm not enjoying this one.

QUOTE(Spiff @ Jan 2, 2006 -> 07:28 AM) Fairweather Colts fan getting arrogant after one win over a depleted Pats team. Please don't tell me you think "God's team" from NE is simply going to roll into Indy and beat the Colts? Depleted or not, the Pats put themselves into a very bad spot having to win on the road to get back to the Super Bowl.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jan 2, 2006 -> 01:26 AM) I hope this is a joke thread..... Good call!!

Damned global warming. And I'm with farmteam on this one, 70's and breezy is perfect.

7 of 8 for 44 yards and a score....what a throw to Gage!! But the most important part? He MANAGED THE GAME, NO TURNOVERS!!! I really think we should start Blake in the 1st playoff game, he can complete passes AND manage the game, he's like Orton and Grossman all rolled into 1 God-like QB!!!

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jan 1, 2006 -> 07:46 PM) You guys are so lucky, you're teams have already played, I have to wait a few more days. PLEASE beat USC.....if for nothing else, so that: 1. I don't have to hear about USC and their "OMG TEH GREATEST EVA!!!" s***. 2. Texas winning it all is going to mean I win a significant amount of money.
