Rex Hudler Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 QUOTE(Fotop @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 03:44 AM) well judging by your birthday...you're too young to remember when ND dominated EVERYONE (hell I'm too young as well, the Holtz Era was a little before my time but not TOO much...i could comprehend things in '93). so i'll take your ignorance with a grain of salt. 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). good points, fotop. In addition to USC, Miami and Oklahoma, you can add Alabama, Nebraska and Penn State. Like Notre Dame now, those teams are down and have been powerhouses in the past. Tennessee has always been solid, but Florida has had its down times. I'm sure I have forgotten others as well.

Dam8610 Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Go Boilermakers! Three players I will be watching closely in the hopes that the Colts will draft one, thus FINALLY solving the 5 year problem at MLB: Chad Greenway, A.J. Hawk, and Abdul Hodge.

It would finally rid the team of the MLB problem it has had since 2000 (when Morris was drafted in the 1st round :puke). I may not be a Hawkeye fan, but I'll take their talent.

Capn12 Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 04:57 PM) Let the cleanup from the dirty Holtz era begin... Those "major" infractions are laughable at best. I know many people are just looking for a reason to throw Holtz under the bus, but please, this is ridiculous. The NCAA investigates us for 3 years, and this is what they come up with? Nice to see the funds used in such a meaningful way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn12 Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 And the info, for those who just assume that USC's "woes" are because of a dirty Holtz program. Look at those MAJOR infractions! Its a shame to see Holtz's last go round as a head coach be tarnished by some mistruths that are being spread out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 Iowa State held a students-only vieweing of a scrimmage this year. A number of things I notcied. #1 Dan McCarney is a god. Got more cheers than any player and he's finally convinced the majority of fans, 11 years in, that he can work magic. "When I got here, this place was the biggest mess in college football. Now, we're heading someplace special." #2 ISU is in real trouble in Meyer goes down and Flynn stays at WR. I've never been a big Bret Meyer fan, but if he is hurt, the team is done for unless Flynn comes back as the emergency QB. #3 Kicking has finally improved. The walkon from last year who missed the FG against Mizzou was solid and all FG's within 45 yards were made. #4 Anyone who watched any ISU football here (probably not many) knew what Ellis Hobbs meant to the team. It seems the Big 12 defensive newcomer of the year, Tim Dobbins, wants to be the heart of the D. Also, a very funny guy. #5 The team wants to play Iowa, and badly. Coach Mac talked about Illinois State, but every player mentioned the Iowa game and the host of the program donned a "Beat Iowa" shirt. I can't wait til Sept. 10. Iowa may be heavily favored, but it should be a hell of a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heads22 Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 I still have no idea why Iowa didn't get Blythe. For being a top 15 school, Iowa has way too much trouble competing with ISU for in-state recruits. ISU got ALL top 5 recruits in the state the past season. Of course, Iowa has been recruiting big stars from out of state, but you still need to go after in state guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Some odds for opening weekend for some teams of interest here: Minnesota -15.5 over Tulsa Indiana -8 over Central Michigan Wisconsin -2.5 over Bowling Green...interesting. Is Bowling Green suppose to be better than I thought? Iowa -39 over Ball St. Michigan -18 over Northern Illinois Penn St. -22 over South Florida USC -35 over Hawaii Pittsburgh -3 over Notre Dame...This should be a good game.

IlliniKrush Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Bowling Green has a good chance to win that game. Also, Illinois is something like -1.5 vs Rutgers, but i think we're gonna lose due to inexperience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene Honda Civic Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I'm taking Ball State and the points. Iowa doesn't score alot. Ferentz isn't the type of guy to run up the score. Seems like a good bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
