RyanMcD29 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Not quite. They still get love every pre-season no matter how bad they were the year before.That begs the question - how the hell can Notre Dame get that kind of treatment but not Michigan?Michigan gets way overhyped every year too, though. Maybe not as much as Notre Dame, but it's sure there.EDIT: Talking about the media, not necessarily the polls Quote Twitter: @RyanMcD29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESTONES6 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Notre Dame just doesn't get the talent it used to. The academics could be the reason... or it could be the lack of tattoos, hookers, and cars offered by the University. Either way, ND just isn't getting the talent anymore, at least not the top level talent.Notre Dame's best chance to get back to the National Championship game is to join the Big 10. Even if the Big 10 is the second best football conference in the nation, its still their best shot. If they join the Big 10, happen to run the table and beat the likes of Ohio State, Nebraska, and Wisconsin along the way, they are nearly a shoe in to play for the BCS title.

Geoff Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Academics may be the reason but I do know of at least one recruit who had iffy academics and possibly wouldn't have made it ND at all suddenly was a early enrollee. And oddly enough his mom suddenly had a new job in Northern Indiana. Quote Athletic Director: KTU Blue Grassers Football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBGKon Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 http://tamu.scout.com/2/1103665.htmlLooks like the SEC has voted TAMU in, with Mizzou and West VA on target for #14. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESTONES6 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Texas A&M accepted into the SEC? Virginia Tech would make more sense in the SEC. The B10 Ten can't afford to lose out on Mizzou.Commence realignment landslide. Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, and Texas to the Pac-12.The next week is going to be wild.

The B10 Ten can't afford to lose out on Mizzou.Commence realignment landslide. Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, and Texas to the Pac-12.The next week is going to be wild.Texas won't end up in the Pac-12(16?). The conference has already told Texas they'd have to fold their baby, the Longhorn Network, into the Pac-12's new TV network. And that alone would be a deal breaker for Texas after the time and money they've put into it. I do think it's likely the two Oklahoma teams make the jump to the Pac-12, but word is Texas would rather explore saving the Big 12 with a slew of new additions (leaving them the king of the hill like they are today), or if that fails going the indy route for football with their other sports in the ACC.

Geoff Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Texas A&M would just join UF, UGA, USCe, and UK in blocking an in-state rival from joining. Quote Athletic Director: KTU Blue Grassers Football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicageaux Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 No surprise on A&M going to the SEC. All along, the SEC didn't want to look like the bad guys and make it look like they were taking teams from another conference. A&M got everything cleared up and they took 'em exactly a week after they left the conference. The Baylor lawsuit is just a minor speed bump. In my eyes, Baylor's feelings are just hurt that A&M didn't think of them at all through all of this and abandoned them. OH well. They can continue to butter up to the T-Sips and maybe they'll bring them along wherever they end up.I'm not surprised about the Missouri rumors. All along I was hearing that Missouri was either the 15th or 16th team and that even though school officials said they weren't in talks with the SEC, they actually were. I guess if they do end up being the 14th, they just move Auburn over to the SEC East and make sure they play 'Bama every year. I think West Virginia completely came out of left field and I really have nothing to say about them other than I'd be really surprised if they were the 14th. I've been hearing V-Tech, on this board and elsewhere, but as I've stated before, Louisville was another team that I've been hearing from sources, but not really discussed elsewhere.I guess we shall see how this all plays out, should be fun though.

I don't think it's as big of an issue in other sports. I haven't actually though of Texas joining the SEC for other sports and it makes a lot of sense.EDIT: Still think the Longhorn Network would become an issue though.

Geoff Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Yeah, it's mainly about football but the bad blood might be toxic enough that A&M could convince them to block a move to even a sport like gymnastics.
