Balta1701 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 QUOTE(SnB @ Aug 7, 2005 -> 07:17 PM) the big 10 needs to add another team so we can have a title game, it sucks we miss out on an exciting game like that. Yeah, because all we need is another reason to laugh when they call it the Big 10. How would they fit a #12 into their logo? #11 has worked out all right, but i mean, yeesh that's a crooked number.

Fotop Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 On the recruiting front (i figured this was the best place to put this), Demetrius Jones has verbally committed to ND. Jones is an Illinois product (Morgan Park) and is ranked as the second best dual option quarterback in this year's recruiting class...some sites have him ranked #33 in overall recruiting. As much as I know the season is all that matters, it's nice to see that we actually have recrutiing momentum before the season starts (for once). This was also a pretty big recruit since I know Illinois was in the mix as well and for some reason ND has lost some big recruits to their home states in years past (mainly Big 10 states). We can all feel the tide turning over here, and it may not be this year or next, but ND will be back VERY soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSGuy406 Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 QUOTE(Brian @ Aug 8, 2005 -> 02:14 AM) Damn, out of the 11 regular season games, Michigan only has 4 road games. At Wisconsin, At Iowa, at MSU, all will be tough, than at Northwestern. Hey now -- Northwestern tends to play good teams really well at home. I'm not saying that it's going to end on a last second TD pass, but I don't think it will be a cakewalk for Michigan, either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fotop Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 06:10 PM) Notre Dame already has Zach Frazer, a higher rated QB signed. I don't see where getting an option QB is such a great catch fotop. What am I missing? Dual option is a bit of a misnomer...because it basically means a qb who can both run and pass. He isn't an "option" quarterback...he's just a really fast qb who can book it if he doesn't have anywhere to throw it. Plus 4.43 speed is pretty damn nice at qb. And just because Frazer is in the fold doesn't mean getting Jones isn't huge. You can never have too much depth at skill positions. I mean next year's depth chart at qb is going to be pretty sick w/Quinn the senior, Sharpley the sophomore, then Frazer and Jones. To me this is a big recruit because we took him out of Big 10 country. Illinois, at least during Ty's reign was all big 10 kids. Now with Weis at the helm we're starting to get our feet back into areas which we should be dominating, mainly Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, etc. Also, like I said earlier getting guys like jones, frazer, aldridge, et al. at this point is something we haven't seen in a few years. It's damn nice to hear about all of these class recruits that are already in the fold. The only thing about all of this that bothers me is the fact that we'll probably lose Mustain now. According to a few sources it was a two horse race for Mustain (ark v. nd) with miami being the darkhorse. Arkansas has too much on the line with Mustain (not landing him could cost Nutt his job) so I'm betting they're making a MAJOR push. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guess if you want to jump to conclusions about ND, at least do it for the right reasons. The schedule being hard wouldn't be a good place to start if you're trying to say that we'll never win another National Championship. I mean how can you say ND's schedule is going to be hard in 5 years, 10 years, etc. You can't. So i don't see how that correlates because you don't know the quality of your opponents until maybe a year before you play them. All teams go through cycles, I doubt you remember when USC sucked...or when Miami sucked...or when Oklahoma sucked but guess what they did for one time or another. The thing about ND up until recent memory is that we NEVER went through that cycle. Since we are now, everyone wants to put us in the ground. But guess what, elite programs survive the test of time. So as I've been saying, we may not win this year, or maybe next, but it's coming and it's coming soon. ND will be on top again...I can say that with full confidence (even though i may be biased).

(I'll always pull for him; despite his university choices) Also, is what I'm hearing about Lymon not being able to play this year now true? Yup, Lymon is ineligible, but has decided to stay at Purdue. He would have had to fight for PT anyway with Bryant, Ingraham and Williams all back. He'd be a nice addition to someone's intramural team this fall though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
