Good post g-17. Some need to do a better job of not reliving the past. No need to pick scabs at this point. Things are moving in our direction.

Ah, you're right. I just assumed we would, you know, play everyone in our division like normal conferences do. Next time, I'll use MAC logic.

One other thing.... I've been saying it for years. The key to winning in the MAC is scoring lots of points and waiting for the other team to poop their pants trying to keep up. We have an offense that moves the ball and scores. The Zips can beat both UB and Can't using that proven method of success in the MAC.

Dollar General....

I think you are being a little to hard on Spencer Keith. He seems to hand the ball off well enough.....

I dong know if I have mentioned this or not, but I'm not a big fan of the "building process".

Ah, the spelling police...there s fun y groups. Maybe there blackberry doesn't fill words for them like hours do. P

I know. It's part of the fun.

The key what? I'm going to type the remainder of this note very slowly because the brain functions slowly on THC and I want you to understand what I am saying. I hate to do the job that is traditionally reserved for others on this board, but it seams as if I have to when dealing with an OU fans and their low IQ. "Key" can be a noun or adjective. In the sentence above, you use it as a noun. One more word and you would have had a sentence that made sense. OU will make a BCS game when OU girls start shaving their armpits and legs.

You guys are a long way away from making a BCS game and getting run out of the stadium worse than Cincy did a few years ago.

UT will flex their muscles against a non SEC team and then go right back to sucking in the SEC. Look for them to cover whatever line is set.

Great day for the Zips yesterday!!!! They did exactly what they should do against a I-AA team and then some. They went above and beyond the call of duty and I'm so very excited about the attitude of the players in putting out a performance like yesterday. Great job Zips!

Yesterday was a perfect example of how bad the ACC really is in football. VA Tech was once a great college football program and now they can get beat easily by a middle of the road Big East program. Yesterday was no fluke. Pitt had better players across the board than Va Tech. This is why the ACC didn't want WVU. WVU would destroy that horrible league and they knew it and made up stories about academics, foundations, etc. It was all a dodge.

Good crowds next year. Great crowds and a Game 1 sell out in 2014.

Now wait just a minute there Mr. Kangaroo...I resent you belittling my dreams and ambitions of having my own religion (for tax purposes of course) with the express purpose of starting a huge gambling operation.

They aren't taking advantage of sane people. They take advantage of true believers and little old ladies.

Florida State = Penn State (pre-Sandusky disaster) Clemson = Wisconsin Maryland = Purdue I have tickets to an ACC school. It is a bad league, but I enjoy watching college football so I go to games. It's funny watching ND fans get all chesty after wins against Navy and Purdue. Makes me realize why they are all so detestable. Let's see how they do against MSU this weekend.

Working inside the University is certainly a concern. I think a company built off of evangelical cults tied to a public institution is a problem. As far as lying.....maybe. They are stating a fact that relates to the overall fundraising for the non-profit. When a non-profit hires InfoCision to fundraise, the VAST majority of the money raised will go to IC. Of all the money the non-profit raises, around 20% will go to administrative costs. Are they lying? Not really. Is it distasteful and almost lying?....Heck ya! Lastly....Enjoy Lot 9....Brought to you by little old ladies giving $25 at a time....

When I look at ND's schedule, I see Michigan's schedule. Sort of good, but mostly average. Five ACC schools or five Big Ten schools...What's the difference after the PSU collapse is complete? One can put the ACC and Big Ten in a bag, shake them up and they will all come out together at this point. Which gets to your point. Scheduling is the art of illusion in college football. I believe athletic directors are snake oil salesmen....their schedules come in the bottles with the gold lettering. A good AD can make it look like you play good teams by playing teams that were good ten years ago (and may not be now), but not really playing anyone good ooc.

Kids that want to win and be noticed for winning don't interest me. Kids that want to win against the best talent in the country interest me. If ND has had top rated recruiting classes for the last 5-10 years, there is a huge problem with the people rating recruiting classes. ND plays a big ten schedule with USC thrown in. There are "names" on their schedule, but little substance.

I would think so as well. The worse thing UofA could have done was to decline the request for filming. If they decline, it could have been worse. UofA has done nothing wrong. They just took a bunch of money that used to be property of little old ladies and built a football stadium with it.

they aren't doing a very good job of recruiting because good players want to compete against the best, not the ACC The big ten is better than the ACC in football. I don't know about, nor do I care about the other sports. Changes in college athletics have everything to do with football. Nobody really is making moves for academics. Playing Pitt va tech, eats may not be bad, but it isn't far away from bad.

You got that right. Their billing per completed call, at least around ten years ago, was making them around sixty dollars per hour while normal companies were making around thirty five. Basically, info inion makes money for itself while developing donor bases for their clients. They started out doing this for religious groups scaring little old ladies out of twenty five dollars at a time. It later branched into other types of fundraising where they still scare people out of money with hyper inflated rhetoric. The management of the company is a strange breed. Gary Talylor had a sort of cult following within the company. Honestly, I think a lot of the groups they deal with are cults themselves, but that's another discussion. The upper management of the company all lives next to each other out in bath. I know someone who called it a compound It's very cultlike. I think that's the way they want it. Our stadium was built with very strange and dirty money.

Keeping their independence is their last gasp effort at being important in the alumns minds. In addition, they can make more money off of NBC. If a playoff happens, being an indy gives them a back door into the playoffs. ND wants nothing to do with the Big Ten. I have no respect for the Big Ten, but it is a better conference than the ACC.

I do. One can only swallow so much crap before they get sick of it. They are now entertaining. I'll take that at this point. Before the Zips get winning, they need to get competitive. I think they are almost there but more games will prove it out. To make any comparison between this team and a team Ianello would have coached is just silly.
