I'm surprised as that is 2 losses for ND.
Wasn't expecting that from a program that stays independent so they can schedule cupcakes to pad their record.

Thanks for the info - I guess cupcake was a little strong.
I'm now even more surprised as with those kind of schedules - making to a National Championship Game will be a tough task.

I get the point you're making but:
MSU, PSU, OSU every year.
2014-ND, Utah
2015-@ Utah, Or St./BYU
2016-Meh
2017-Florida, Cincinnati
See, we can list things too...
Point is, neither team really schedules a bunch of cupcakes like was suggested. The part that's funny is ND saying they can't maintain the Michigan rivalry because of their ACC commitment. And then they schedule a home/home with OSU. Ignoring the timing of the announcement which is hilarious but irrelevant to my point, what is the point of ending the Michigan rivalry if just going to schedule OSU? Shit, if ND's scheduling is so tough, you could've done both.
That part doesn't make sense to me.

ND's typical schedule: half tough, half tomato cans. This year seems heavier on the former, I'll concede, but whooping on service academies et al helped pad past records and moving forward, I see some teams like Temple and Syracuse as well. Oh, and thanks for cherry-picking those B1G teams to make your point. You think ND holds up against top AND middle AND bottom B1G for 8 games without fucking up at least once or twice?

It's obvious that ND are classless liars, BUT OSU gave UM and the rest of the big 10 the middle finger by taking these games. I wish nothing but ill on both these teams.

FUCKS!

A beat down would be great.

Slap in the fucking face. This is the most disrespectful thing Notre Dame could've done. It does make me wonder if DB actually wants to play them again though. But also I have a theory that a deal between UM and ND has been agreed to but won't be announced until well after this saturday to maintain the 'importance' of the 'last' game of this rivalry.
September 4th, 2014 at 7:12 PM ^
That means kicking both teams asses.

In the new era I think we are better served scheduling a different opponent. ND has been a non factor on the national scene with the 2012 exception for quite a while.
We have two fantastic rivalry games, we will be better off in many regards scheduling other top notch, nationally recognized programs. Of course, for us to remain prominent in the "new era " WE have to win our share of those games.
Bye bye ND, we have some great memories, but it's your loss both in going the ACC route vs BIG and leaving us.
Time for us to move on. Happily.
