aubrandon 5 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Do you guys think that Notre Dame is overrated and over hyped as usual? I personally think that they are very overrated. They will loose at least two games this year probally three. I am soooooo sick of hearing Notre Dame this or Notre Dame that. Hopefully Joe Pa will put them in their place Sat.

Tigermike 3,039 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 On Saturday night, I don't think they looked like the #3 team in the nation. We will see if they get any better. If I were to make a bet today, I would bet that SoCal would beat ND like a red headed step child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKCAUB 0 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Hmmmmm...have I mentioned today that I HATE Notre (Children of the) Damed.....? They're almost ALWAYS over-hyped. Last year they beat 3 teams with a winning record during the regular season...and that VAULTED them into this year's top 5. Ridiculous!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otterinbham 0 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Well, the MVP on that team isn't Brady Quiff or Quinn or whatever his name is. It's the SID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Eye 7 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Speaking of Notre Dame -USC.. I saw that last year's finish was considered one of the top 50 finishes in sports history. Isn't that something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLauburnfan 0 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 http://www.sportingnews.com/yourturn/viewtopic.php?t=124113 I am so tired of Notre Dame, the media frickin' loves em. You kow that if we make a run @ the Natl Championship game and its between us and Notre Dame-Notre dame will get picked, even if it is the BCS. I hate them, i hate them, i hate them. I will be so happy when PSU beats em this saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aukooze91 11 Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 ND is always over-hyped. I watched the replay of the ND v Ga Tech game Sunday morning, and ND did not look good at all. I told my father-in-law (who loves Tech) if Gailey or Galey would have kept the headset off and let Nix call the game, Tech should have easily scored 21+! ND did not look like a number 2 or 3 team in the nation. I am sorry to offend all the ND's but they didn't do what they were supposed to do as far as winning, looking good winning, and winning margin. All the others in the top 5 did what they were supposed to do in their openers. AU did what they needed to do, but we still need some work in rush defense, with our young receivers, and develop the linebackers some more. But yet, we still won by 26. War Eagle!

TitanTiger 20,499 Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I'm not a ND hater, but I'm sick of all the love they're getting. And they looked far from the #2 team in the country this weekend. GT is a tough opponent and all, but they are still unranked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigermike 3,039 Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 You guys are missing something vital. AUBURN is propping up ND's SOS. Here is the logic used by the media. Last year GT beat AU in opening game. This year AU is the #4 team in the nation (possibly better). This year ND beat GT therefore ND is better than AU.

bellefay1 1 Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 if anything...it's the obvious ignoring of notre dame's problems that gets me. the media in general....and mostly espn....seems to have the urge/sense to pick a "greatest team ever" every year...oklahoma, usc (do y'all recall the 10 part special they did before the rose bowl where espn picked great, historic teams...and said usc would beat all of them) and this year it's notre dame. as mentioned before...notre dame beat a combined 2 teams with winning records: meechegan with it's powerful 7-5 and navy who went 8-5 (not to pick on navy...but, they don't play the strongest schedule in the world) other fun facts that the media chose to ignore: notre dame had the 103rd best pass defense in the country...the 75th best defese (396 ypg)...and my personal favorite... they were coming off a fiesta bowl game where they gave up 617 yards. the most in school history. but...they're notre dame, charlie weiss won some superbowls, brady quinn is an attractive young man, and notre dame has been in the crapper as of late and it's "their time." + they'll be on your television every saturday so everyone can see. last thing that might shock you... notre dame hasn't won a bowl game since 1994. they'll lose 2 or 3 this year, hang around the top 10, and jump a more deserving team to play in a bcs bowl.. which they'll lose.

While they did win the game, in Atlanta, they did NOT start a first year qb and a fairly inexperienced rb against GT. They started ALL WORLD players at EVERY position.... JMHO....

rexbo 104 Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 The problem (for Auburn) with Norte Dame is that with all of their hype, even if they lose a few, when USC beats them USC will get credit for a 'great' win against a tough, highly ranked Norte Dame team and leap to #1 or #2 (or at least pick up that many more votes).
