Amazing! Let some fans tell it and it's only changed for ND, yet 'Bama went thru a down period right after Stallings retired in '97 which was the same time Holtz left ND. Difference is 'Bama got it right after a decade and we still keep putting limits on the program and come up with the same 2-3 excuses 25 years later!

        55-60% of the Top 100 guys can get in academically, then it's about fit! - Rocketman84 - 6:32pm 5/23/23
        Academic restrictions aren’t irrelevant - NDIrish1988 - 7:34pm 5/23/23
