Oh bull crap! Bama would have lost to LSU if Miles’ bravado hadn’t given the game to them. And Texas A&M? The team that not only lost HOME games to LSU and Florida but also padded its schedule with Sam Houston State, Louisiana Tech, and South Carolina State? Oh, but that’s right, all SEC teams do that. Meanwhile, whether or not opponents turn out to have good years, give the Irish a little credit for scheduling Michigan, Michigan State, Miami, Stanford, Oklahoma, and Southern Cal. As it turns out, Stanford is in the Rose Bowl, and four of ND’s opponents rank in the top 25 defenses in the country (add Pitt and BYU to Stanford and Michigan). Georgia ranked 69th against the run, which might explain Bam’a success today running the ball. As for the almighty “SEC,” ND’s record is 47-21, 5-1 against Bama, including 2 bowl games when Bama was ranked at or near the top, and they have earned hard-won victories in Birmingham, Knoxville, and Baton Rouge, never easy places to play. Notre Dame plays a national schedule, unlike most SEC teams. But wait, Georgia played Buffalo this year. I guess that is their new inter-sectional rivalry. And after today’s game-ending stupidity by Georgia, maybe we should add SAT scores to our discussion.
Speaking of bull crap.... That’s what usually appears when the gold hats suddenly have a decent year.
I can sympathize with you Chipper. Bama went through a few lean years too. Just don’t get your drawers in a wad because people question your team’s ability. It’s not what you did in the past that matters in the next game. The Gipper isn’t going to suit up in Miami. Let’s see what happens on the field.
