Bevie - 2013-01-03 9:25 PM I don't understand why everyone in Bama Bama Bama. They are a great program but come on. Their requirements for students getting into that school are pretty low. I am a huge Notre Dame fan and will be for life. I am also not saying their players are dumb but, half of them probably couldn't meet the requirements to play at ND. Out of the 17000 students who apply to Notre Dame as first year students only 1985 get in. 3.70 average GPA. I mean come on. Give Brian Kelly credit for reviving the program. Alabama gets a lot of the top crop because simply Notre Dame won't except them.

When it is all said and done I think it will be a hard game for both teams. Notre Dame defense wins this one though.

Fight on Irish!!!

Why? Because we're talking about football, not academics. If you went to a school with high academic standards, shouldn't you know 1) how to stay on topic, or 2) the difference between "except" and "accept"?

Cool

Although brief, a nice read on the two schools football history:

Taking quotes out of context is something a few of you are great at. You should go work for a news company. My point that I stated in the post was that ND doesn't recruit the guys who they know would not be able to make a good student athlete. Hence me saying Kelly has done a hell of a job with the team he was given for the most part. They don't get the best athletes that Bama gets. That radio announcer for ND who stated ND needed more criminals on their team to be better and compete with the other teams may have been right.

Whoever it was who said I was a ND alumni why on earth would you think that? I also don't care if I used the wrong "except/accept" either so you can go spell troll someone else for all I care.

I hope it's a great game and if ND loses I will still be proud to call myself a fan.

Your comments and jbirish comments come across a bit self-righteous in relation to ND football.

You might need to take a closer look at your own program, before making insinuations about others.

Anyway, it's a football game.  I agree, I hope it's a great game, and if Alabama loses, I'll still be proud to call myself a fan.

When did this suddenly become about academics, morals, respect, and integrity?  It's a flippin football game.  Are they having the math bowl at halftime or something?

It didn't. Ironically, it took a long time for college football to no longer be about those things. Of course there are aberrations and exceptions, but at one time most of college athletics were about those things. Now, especially with D1 football, college athletics are about money and winning at all costs.

I was actually referencing this thread in general.  As in...who is going to win the game.  I found it odd that some were trying to justify their pick of ND by throwing out graduation rates.

    Game's tonight.  I hope it's a runaway early so I can hit the hay early...

    I think I'm starting to waiver in my support of the Irish.  Only because their fans are so unbearable...
