If I dig deeper, I probably could find similar seasons like that under Ara, Leahy, and maybe even Rock. There's going to come a time when ND will be hard pressed to schedule anybody for the crime of being independent. I feel a collusion is underfoot against our Irish. I haven't heard anything. I haven't read anything. I just feel it.
