Re: Why is Notre Dame in Playoffs?
You sound like a snowflake.....SOOO D@MN FUNNY. Thats for the laughs.
In the history of College football, out of 130 teams, ND ranks 4th all time in # of NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS.
They are the most popular with the largest National fan base. They are also the 6th most hated team. Kinda sounds like the Dallas Cowboys. (Which is MY beloved team).
Maybe tomorrow you will wake up and not be the 4 year old version of yourself. LMAO.
Happy NewYear.

You contradict yourself....which is ok by me. First you said the bowls are about big $, then you complain about which teams go. Whichever team brings rhe $$ and attention should go.......since that is the purpose. Right??
It doesn't matter to me. I think ALL Bowl games are jokes...and meaningless. They can be entertaining to watch. AND it sure beats watching baskieball any day. But meaningless just the same.
I think all college "National Championship" tournys are a joke also. Its like watching Friday Night Tykes brag about State & National championships. LMAO. Just useless.

I think Techster is spot on. The above column kind of backs up what many think about the special treatment ND gets. The money quote from it is this.....
Notre Dame v. Clemson in the 2018 national semifinal game played out exactly as Notre Dame vs. Alabama in the 2012 BCS title game. Bama rolled the Irish in that one, 42-14.
Notre Dame is simply not Notre Dame, and only a collection of aging fans, ratings-horny executives and brand-delusional fans believe that.
Truth is if BYU, who is another independent managed to pull off a 12-0 record which included a couple of wins over top 25 teams, they would not get the love ND gets despite having a sizable fan base and Ohio State or Georgia probably would of been given the nod. Albeit BYU's fan base is not as big as ND's, but still one that is bigger than UCF's for example who was given minor consideration again this time around.Last edited by LSC Fan; 12-31-2018, 08:38 AM.

I get this part, but you can at least leave baseball out of it because they don't let one game in their tourney determine if you stay in or told to get out. I wish all other team title tourneys could be structured like NCAA baseball.

Originally posted by LSC Fan View PostI think they sold out the Alamodome in record time a few years ago when they played Army in San Antonio. To their credit, they have an international fan base which is only rivaled by the NY Yankees and the maybe the Cowboys. I think a number of people from Mexico came up to see that game?
"Once you pass HS JV, it starts becoming all about the money. It's no longer about the sport or the love of the sport...it becomes entertainment, ego, and the almighty dollar."
A few days later, we were doing a youth football clinic in Plano and Joe called me over. Huge smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye. Joe said: "Hey Pech. I love this right here. This is real football. This is what its supposed to be about".
I will never forget that moment as long as I live.Last edited by ASUPops; 12-31-2018, 04:19 PM.
