CBS picks ND to make playoffs
- Thread starter NDSMC78
- Start date
I guess not. Last I looked we are replacing a bunch of starters, Texas has to be up for this game after last year's spanking, and it will probably be hot as can be, which can certainly play a role.
I do. My instincts tell me that this will be a challenge of biblical proportions. Coach Strong and his Longhorns are just not going to lay down and play dead in their house on national TV.
Texas has to learn how to win big games again. Hopefully ND is not the team they learn from. If should be a competitive game but ND will be the more confident team at crunch time. Because ND has won more big games in recent history.
Did your parents have any children that survived child birth? Because you are without a doubt the most miserable, whiny and useless SOB I have ever encountered. But at least you have that ND degree! That I am sure is filled out in crayon.
Is it your suggestion that Texas beating Oklahoma last year wasn't a big win?
"Replacing starters" might be one of the most overstated/overrated concepts in college football. Programs that recruit/develop talent well don't "replace" or "lose" anything ... they simply substitute a veteran with a younger player that has equal amount of talent and then continue where they left off.

I've posted how many times?
There is no game I fear on the Irish schedule. If I were to make a prediction I would have to go with the Irish at 12 and 0.
You are giving the resident idiot to much credit. ND degree? Think not!
No idea who will win. I just know ND is replacing a ton of talent, and I remember hearing something about teams showing their greatest improvement between the first and second games.
i agree but for the first time since the holtz era the roster is loaded with talent.
Was it? Or was it a 5-7 team pulling an upset in a rivalry game? I mean that never happens does it?
Oh wait!,Mack Brown did the exact same thing 2 years ago and got fired a month later. Since you obviously know nothing about college football.Let me clue you in. When you go 5-7 at UT. You have no "huge wins". You're just lucky to have your job. Especially when that 5-7 record was preceded by a 6-7 record.
The ND Football program is miles ahead of UT. And it's starts with the Head Coach.

True, but Kelly has shown that he can produce offense with the strengths of personal he has.
I don't worry about replacing experience on that side of the ball.
The defensive side is where I worry about experience/ person
