Proud Tiger 4,261 Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 ND, the Big East and the Big 12 have entered into a new partnership which ensures a prepresentative in bothe the Gsator and Sun Bowls for the next four years. Sounds like ND is getting desperate to aassure a bowl game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarTim 3,457 Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 As a fan of College Football in general, it is sad to see how low ND has fallen. Like it or not, I think they are good for College Football. I would love to see them in the hunt every year....and get beaten in the last game.

moe 0 Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 As a fan of college football, I think the exact opposite way. When I think of ND, UAT usually comes to mind - Dominated a while back, but now enjoy going 6-6 every year. I enjoy seeing Alabama go 6-6 and I definitely enjoy ND going 5-6 or 6-6. They may be good for college football, but I definitely don't wish they could compete for the title every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUesquire 1 Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Yea, there's two schools of thought there. It's great to have perennial powers like ND, Nebraska, Michigan etc. At the same time, with all things being equal now with regard to scholarships, there is a greater chance for parity and you know your program won't stay too far up or down for very long.

The Irish have a great history and a strong tradition. uat has the 3rd or 4th rated div 1 program in the state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
