I'll take that into consideration. I might should tell you that you're talking to a guy who walked into 'The Swamp' (the bar across the street from the ishole stadium the gates play) and walked up to the bartender and asked him if the Teddy Dupay poster they had up on the wall was won in a bet .
Either way that place sounds cool. I'll definitely check it out when I finally get a chance to visit Wrigley again .

Ok before I get too intoxicated (yes I'm on the sauce again) (and I remembered the quote from the movie 'Author' tonight that made me LOL "A real woman could stop you from drinking" - "It'd have to be a real big woman" ) and want to discuss the Hornung quote/theory.
First off I think he's correct but his playing of the race card made his opinion completely ignored.
My example for his theory is the one and only Tim Tebow. Without knowing I'd be willing to bet that Tebow's 890 SAT wouldn't get him into ND. From what anyone can see Tebow could easily handle college coursework (he won the academic Heisman - don't laugh like I did). Also from what anyone can tell he is a great kid. Now I'm not saying that ND has to take a bunch of questionable character athletes but IMO, there needs to be some leeway.
Some kids don't have any trouble with academics but don't make it a priority. They can handle college coursework but their life's goals are focused on the NFL. The HS game has changed and like it or not, most kids have no clue who or what ND stands for. If a kid has a remote interest in attending ND, yet doesn't have the grades, that kid has no problem saying 'Fine I'm NCAA eligible, am an EE, and I'll go to tOSU instead of staying in HS and raising my SAT or GPA'.
This is JMHO, but ND is going to eventually have to decide whether they want to become Havard/Yale or Michigan/Texas (I know those are public universities but they do have great academics along with a solid FB program) and start allowing some exceptions to the admittance standards.

Another opinion I have is ND will eventually have to join a conference. Back when the Bowl Alliance was formed and then later the BCS, ND still kinda had some pull. That's where ND as an independent was able to finagle their way into basically a AQ spot. My theory is once the PAC-12, the SEC, the Big 10 plus 2, and the ACC all reach 16 teams those 64 universities are going to put a stranglehold on what is known as the BCS (due to the TV contracts, ect). Once they get their hands around the BCS' neck, they'll push for a playoff.
The NCAA will be in a pickle because their money makers will want an exclusive playoff. They'll have almost no choice but to cave because those 64 universities will have more guaranteed money coming in then the NCAA can afford to lose.
It's close to being kill or be killed in CFB. IMO, ND (or any other university for that matter) won't survive on their own.

...then on the flip side, who knows, maybe some programs will say to hell with the conferences and go indy. (just sayin')

Possible. Texas and OK are ND's biggest ally should the Big 12 finally implode. IMO, UT and OK will eventually cave and go to the PAC-12 (along with OKST).
Programs are running scared. Look at WVU. They have tried to get into just about every conference not named the Big East for a couple of years now.
The only thing I can say is if Missouri and TAMU to the SEC and Pitt and SU to the ACC didn't light the fuse, I don't know what will. Add Nebraska to the Big 10 plus 2 and Colorado and Utah to the PAC-12 and "All signs point to yes".
Just a few short years ago, ND was the only millionaire in the room. They're fixin' to be the only millionaire at a table of billionaires.

Really? Think Jack has ND's back, and until push comes to shove, meh, with conference realignment. Don't like the BSC and absolutely loathe the idea of super conferences.
Posted on 12/20 9:13 PM | IP: Logged
It's just the way I see it. I don't neccessarily like it either.
I remember when the ACC was 9 teams and then the excitement of conference expansion. The conference championships led the way to the BCS. 'Super Conferences' will lead the way to a playoff.
Like it or not, ND is going to have to conform or they're going to get left holding the bag....and that bag will be full of poo.

Actually the ice rink looks as empty as a Footlocker store in Tallahassee.
I don't think ND needs to revise their recruiting approach. What's been holding them back has been coaching. This years team has plenty of talent but made some critical gaffes that cost them a much better record. Also, the QB position needs upgrading. If Gunner Kiel signs, that would be remedied. Currently, ND is ranked about 12th in the recruiting rankings, with some big names still on the board. That's enough talent to compete, if properly coached.
Who knows about the conference alignment. Whe way alignments are now, devoid of any regional integration, is asinine.

You do realize that obesity is epidemic in the US, most likely you're overweight, or have a family member that is.

Are we talking about low hanging fruit? You know bottle of whiskey makes those low hanging fruits a bit more palatable.

Depending on the body (6.5+) and how faint a pulse, the whiskey could be optional .

Ok Domers, it's getting close to game time. Any of you guys and gals getting a little nervous? Personally I want FSU to complete beating the axis of evil in UM, UF, and ND.
Win or lose I will get to enjoy living in beautiful sunny Florida while Domers get stuck with cabin fever from the snow storms. So you can say that even if FSU loses, we still win.

Nor do you have the charm and bright colors of fall, or the brilliance of a new spring. I like the changes of seasons even though I'm not fond of snow.
Grilling and hot tubbing out in the snow is nothing new.

Here in North Florida, we get a change of seasons. Why just in the past 24 hours we went from a high of 70 to a high of 60 ... and in a few days, Winter will be over.

I've muted the sound, gone to tracker when the Irish are on offense, but I need alcohol if I'm going to make it through the second half.
