This game is a favor to Boob Davie. We owe him absolutely nothing.
It is a pay for slaughter and Savvy should be ashamed for scheduling it.

Things have gotten noticeably worse this year. I'd like to see the board operators jettison people who cannot be civil. They could start with weisguy19, ripperduck and Aragoto. And the team didn't even lose this week.
At least none of the members here have claimed that the starting running back, a Notre Dame student-athlete, has a bruised vagina.
NDNation can't get no respect. No respect at all. Why, just the other day one of their long-time posters wondered aloud where all the Kelly Lovers had gone. Nobody had the nerve or the sense to point out that they've all been chased off and there is nothing left there but group-think and sychophants of AC Ross.
"Discussion will get heated at times, but limit personal attacks. Persistent "stalking" of other posters across threads will not be permitted.'
Calling out people by name could be construed as stalking and personal.
They are so old and obsolete that I'm surprised a lawsuit filed hasn't been filed. I suggest a safe zone forum board be created in the interim.
We all wish they could do so with civility and humor. NDN bans people at the drop of a hat.
UHND is not like that.
Chill out dude.
That's an insult, and not a very original one. On top of being arrogant, you're a hypocrite...
Nice of you to champion his election to the college HOF.

That’s PAID attendance. Reflects season ticket holders. No way there was that many fans actually AT that game . Check out the highlights before you call people names.
And if your hanging your hat on 13K that is pathetic.
Please moderate your language.
FFS, most uni athletic programs lose money, they shouldn't be operating. That's true of all the MACs in the world. You think that ND wasn't doing Ball State a favor? Your arrogance is exceeded only by ignorance...
Did you actually watch the highlights of NM playing in front of 1000 fans?
High school teams get more fans.
We're going to slaughter them. Where's the glory in that?
You have anger management issues.
Get some help.
New Mexico is a poor ass State, their public unis have a fraction of what ND posses. A televised game with ND will be the only national exposure those players will ever receive. It means a hell of a lot to a kid who may have worked his ass off to get a scholie, especially if they came by way of a JUCO, to get any exposure. ND is giving struggling regional programs a chance to do something for their players and programs that they woudn't get otherwise. New Mexico has a connection to ND, and could use the help. WTF does attendance have anything to do with anything? Just STFU....
Lots of high schools could use a trip to ND. Kids who will never get a chance to play beyond their senior year.
It's a slaughter. Nothing noble about that.
Propping up a team that can't outdraw a HS team is not noble.
Get help.
College football players are scholarship athletes. They're not high school students, and NO analogy exists between the two. For any football program to exist, they need a reason to attract players to their program. One way lower division teams can attract some better players is if there is a chance to play on national broadcasts from time to time.
P5 programs must schedule football that aren't P5 programs because they cannot have a13 game schedule filled with top tier programs. If you want a revolt, or guys bolting as early as they can, schedule only elite teams for the entire regular season. That's why P5s need MAC, MWC, Sunbelt, etc, in order to fill their schedule. For a jackass like you to demand that players fulfill YOUR needs for entertainment underscores why these guys are getting fed up being used as gladiators...

Your absurd suggest that we pity the poor and slaughter them makes no sense. If need is paramount and slaughter is irrelevant I mockingly suggest we play a high school team from Baltimore and send the blood money to help improve their neighborhoods. Do you understand satire?
Bob Davie is a certified jerk.
We are going to slaughter them.
Which part of that do you disagree with?
Are San Diego State, Nevada Reno, and Air Force. Post all your protests that ND books opponents against that conference. Make a case that ND shouldn't schedule those teams. And of course you didn't respond to the point that you're a straight up ahole demanding players risk injury to amuse a jackhole such as you..,
I have no problem scheduling AF or SDSU.
Much better opponents.
You must be a sub alum.
You have zero tolerance for cordial discourse.
