We don't think the rest of the country cares....we don't care what they (you) think [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]. By the way, my understanding is that this show is only being aired on NESN and YES, so unless YOUR local cable or satellite provider "thinks their customers care" about things like the Yankees and the NY-Boston rivalry, you won't be subjected to any of it.

Unfortunately us "fly overs" are subjected to 8 minute skits and the like on ESPN everytime NY and Bahston baseball teams face each other in the preaseason......

And while BBall might not have the cultural cache Fball and to a far lesser degree Baseball has at the moment It sure seemed like Bostonites lived and died with the Celtics for about 3 decades so apparently they cared more than a little bit.

Play like a champion.....

should have known you were a Notre Shame fan...perhaps you can get your "obese slob never could make it as a head coach in the NFL so took the ND job as ND's 178th choice" coach to beg the B10 to let ND in....I hear you guys are still good in preppy sports like lacrosse and soccer.

Oh and BU BC Harvard are all vastly overatted Universities.

Thus ends my Jim Rome moment of the morning. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

has been the most feared offensive coordinator in the NFL for the at least the last 3 years. But I doubt I'll get much of a retraction from you once Weis turns things around out in South Bend.

And yes, ND is pretty damn good in every varsity sport it maintains.

Not surprisingly, you don't reveal your own allegiance.

GO BUCKEYES

Its THE Ohio St. Univeristy to you...

And lets see if you can remember the score last time ND and Ohio St. played.

Not trying to be redundant but if he was such a good candidate why was he the 178th choice for the position?

ND will get nothing and like it.

The real problem with ND is that it just doesnt have the recruiting draw it once did. Since future recruits now will not even be old enough to remember the Lou Holtz glory years I dont see how this is an easy fix.

Other recruiting roadblocks are also inherent...

e.g.

If you are a black kid from Fla. and visit ND are you gonna generally feel like you "fit in" with the campus life there.

Turns things around? Seriously, a low end bowl birth should be a thrill for the ND establishment since as has been stated it is not a recruiting draw anymore. The college football landscape has changed with more and more big time programs coming out, pretty much everyone being on TV and having lower academic standards than ND.

Plus firing Ty so quickly wasn't the best message to black recruits.
