.......watching their team play Southeast Lousiana A&I or the rest of the collection of similar powerhouses that comprise from a third to half of their schedule each year. Who the hell wants to watch their team play a thirty six point underdog opponent in an absolutely meaningless uncompetitive game. I don't dislike Bob Davie but there must be some other way we can make him happy
New Mexico is a big state. I looked at a map. And, the team will be playing for its ailing coach, Mr. Davies.

espn and the two thousand other sec pandering networks make it sound like they're taking down the third reich, china, and russia all at once during those scrimmages. msm is vomit inducing, even in the sports world.
WIN....
counts. How many D1 teams on ND’s schedule would pose a threat to Bama? One or two at the most. And UGA the toughest out on the schedule. Bama has managed to handle. Let’s just focus on ND.
and it does no good complaining about them. It would take a supreme effort by us to beat them. Also Oklahoma, Ohio State and Georgia and maybe LSU are more talented by us. I still want the chance though. A chance at the championship is better than no chance. No matter how greatly talented a team is, a team that is good to very good can beat a greatly talented team on a given day.

meaningless uncompetitive game? That would be your average Michigan fan. Too bad the salad days seem over.
From that conference include Hawai, Nevada, San Diego State, BYU when they were in that conference. MWC's Air Force and BYU have defeated Notre Dame.
You're implying that MWC's New Mexico is the same as Southwest Louisiana A&I. That's bullshit. New Mexico is aligned with a league that has defeated ND in the past, played them tough at times, and is a legit D1 conference. The Lobos may be a less achieving MWC team, they're not a D2, or whatever category that's now in vogue. If ND booked Citadel, an HBCU, or James Madison, then you'd have a point...
When's the last time Air Force beat ND? (in the 2007 nightmare season)? or BYU beat ND? (2004 when Radio was our head coach)?
I get what you're saying, but NM is terrible and "win one for the Davie" isn't going to magically make them a great team.
ND is more than capable of beating NM by 36 but won't b/c of a combination of shit play calling and the inability to execute properly by the players.
I think the outcome of the New Mexico game will be what most of us expected the UL game to be: NM will hang around for a Q or so (mostly b/c of my previous sentence) & ND will find rhythm score a bunch of points in the mid 2nd Q to mid 4Q & the reserves will come in. Final score: Something like 41-9. (that score should be familiar to Bob Davie)

By the likes of several P5 programs, to booking a team from a legit D1 conference. New Mexico plays D1 teams. Citadel, HBCUs, and anyone from the Patriot League, don't. I would suggest whoever is paying you to post to reconsider their employment contract with you..,
Wow, there's hope for my nephew yet.
BTW, Wake Forest football has one of the worst historical winning %, it's at .413. Don't remember seeing you yapping like a deranged chihuahua when ND booked them.
Duke's also has one of the worst winning % in college football history, that being about .455. Don't remember you yammering like a drunk tweeker when ND scheduled a massively overmatched team in the Dukies.
So, why all this about Davie and Da Lobos? ND never plays them, but regularly schedule games with overmatched opponents you ignore. Is it because you're posting to keep threads going, or you're just that stupid??

Let's see what Sparky has to say now.....about that Powerhouse New Mexico team!
Wake Forest and Duke historical losing, I mean, football winning %s. Seems as if you and shortpants need refresher courses...
On the fact that they suck and we schedule pansies as well.
Meanwhile you keep acting like a pretentious asshole like you always do. What a fucking asshole
Ranked 127th of 130 teams.
Yes you got the gist of my post.
And having 2 teams outside the top 110 teams in the country does not help our SOS at crunch time.
Thank you for your civility.
Squeaks in at 105! But they cheat and are hard to beat!
Your ad hominems are trite and lazy.
Trying to give NM the gravitas of BYU or AF because they play in the same conference is beyond silly.
It wasn't a competition at any point during the game.
They want to see bloodied bodies in a car wreck.
