    LOL, you are calling me a moron, pot meet kettle.

    Again, I have acknowledged ND's short comings as a program and I can acknowledge their 9 game bowl losing streak, the problem is some can't ackowledge the fact that ND has won a bowl game and broke that streak. I always thought a win is a win, regardless of who it's against but I guess that thought process only applies to OSU.:rolleyes:
    Can you read? We have acknowledged ND's win last year in the Hawaii Bowl...we've said it multiple times..but were making fun of it because you were 6-6 at the time and beat Freakin Hawaii...so go ahead and take the credit for winning a bowl game, but don't criticize another coach who is 3-3 in BCS games but has lost the last 3 just because you won your last bowl game lol

    I was joking about Powlus being HC but he has done a good job with Clausen. He will land somewhere if not stay in South Bend.

    The difference is that when the students rushed the field after the Iowa game, it wasn't because of the win over Iowa, it was that we clinched the Rose Bowl berth.

    I have no problem with Stanford fans rushing the field. This was a big win for them. For other schools and fans, it may not be a big win, but for Stanford fans it was.

    You're just now getting tired of it? I feel bad for SOME ND fans. The product put on the field for the last 15 years has been no better than above average, at best. ND should be able to hang with the big boys year in and out and they haven't done this since Holtz.

    Well... You lost to Navy, Michigan, and UConn.

    In 2008, you got blown out by Michigan State, lost to Syracuse (LOL), and got shutout by BC.

    Should I talk about 2007? I mean you did have an impressive 3 wins.

    I also remember in 2006 when all 3 of your losses came by 20 points or more.

    Should I continue or no?
    And how many BCS bowl games have you lost in a row? What comes around goes around my friend!
    Is this really what you are going to use as your argument? It's pretty weak.

    That's 1-9 since 1994. And your last big bowl game you won was in 1992 Sugar Bowl.

    Keep them coming. I can go all day.
    Again, ND has a bowl game win streak, regardless if it's 1-0. On the other hand, OSU has lost several bowl game sin a row........you want me to keep going all day because you will lose every time!

    BTW get your facts straight, ND won the 1994 Cotton Bowl agins aTm!
    I mean if you want to use this logic, we can say that you have lost 3 games in a row to Ohio State. You haven't beat OSU in over 70 years. But it wouldn't really be a strong argument since we have only played 3 games in 70 years. It's about as logical as your argument of OSU losing 3 straight bowls.

    Yes, OSU has lost 3 straight bowls. 2 championships and another BCS bowl to arguably the best team in the country (Texas). I am more proud that my team was good enought to get there than I would be of my team beating up on a mid major to get their first bowl win in 13-14 seasons.

    Have SOME Notre Dame fans lost so much pride that they consider beating Hawaii in the Hawaii Bowl an accomplishment? That goes to show where the program is at if you truly consider it a feat greater than what Ohio State has done.

    Also, you guys are so excited for the possibility of Stoops coming when his teams have done pretty much the exact same things as OSU teams have (maybe worse with the loss to Boise St.).

    I don't care when the Cotton Bowl was last relevant, some of you should get your facts stright before opening your traps!

    Keep trying to spin it.........ND=bowl win streak, OSU=bowl losing streak!
    You are calling DaBrowns a spin artist, yet you try to justify by saying OSU is on a bowl game losing streak while ND is coming off one win after 9 straight losses? Really man? That is your grand argument? That's sad.

    Especially considering the competition and what bowls OSU has played in and the one that ND won. Sorry, but if you really think that is something to brag about, than you really don't have any pride in your program.

    You are grasping. Just admit that at the moment (and for the last decade and a half) OSU has been the better program. I don't argue with Florida fans and try to say my program is better than theirs the past 4-5 seasons. I concede and realize the Florida program is better than Ohio State's right now. You'd be better off shutting your mouth. You'd look like less of a fool and people wouldn't rag on your program as much because they'd know they couldn't get a reaction out of you.

    Just man up and admit your program is inferior and it is at best a second tier football program right now.

    ^^^^No, you're grasping because NONE of you can handle the truth! I'm not sitting here pounding my chest about ND being some huge power and I never said that ND's program is better than OSU's, you and fools like dabrowns are saying that. Again, keep making stuff up, you guys are great at it.

    Just an FYI, because I'm a fool.

    "For 40 years the champion of the now-defunct Southwest Conference (SWC) played as the home team in the Cotton Bowl Classic, a tie-in which continued through the 1994 season. Until the mid-1980s, the contest was universally considered as a major New Year's Day bowl. However, by the late 1980s the Cotton Bowl Classic's prestige had fallen, as many SWC teams served NCAA probations for rule violations, rendering them bowl-ineligible. Also, the conference's quality of play suffered a marked decline. The SWC champion lost the last 7 times they hosted the event, and the last national champion to play in the Cotton Bowl Classic was Notre Dame in 1977, although the Irish again staked a claim to a championship after the 1994 contest."

    I try not to say I told you so often. But... I mean I did.

    So then just answer the question. What program is better and has been better for the last decade, Ohio State or Notre Dame? Simple question.

    I didn't think you'd answer, you can't spin that answer.

    Clearly it's OSU, what's there to spin?

    Look, this all started when I made a statement about Bob Stoops possibly coming to ND and a few OSU fans started with his bowl record where I replied, who should ND go after, Tressel? I mean his bowl record isn't much better but since I used Tressel as a comparison I get blasted over it. Grow up people!

    ND fans remind me of little Johnny who was force fed Catholic Bullshit and Notre Dame football by their delusional parents and now that ND is god awful they go into massive depressions. Sorry ND fans, you're just not very good.
    Why is it you always have to push your anti-Catholic sentiment on here? Nobody brought up anything religious on here, we get it you don't like Catholics, grow up please.
    Well, Catholicism and hypocrisy go hand in hand, do they not? I find that it has some sort of relevance in this thread considering all of the ND fans are being hypocrites right now.

    Really? We're ALL hypocrites? How so? Let me guess....that's what it said on Wikipedia, right? Way to bash religion too. That's cool.

    That's a lot of class Dabrowns.

    citing "wikipedia" as a source to your "i told you so" statement speaks volumes toward your own personal intellect.

    If ever a poster should be banned for his comments, it is THIS guy. Free speech is one thing, but religious bigotry is another matter entirely.
  • Mr Pat
    Couldn't agree more speedmerchant
  • Heretic
    Out of respect for the above two posters, I edited out the "Catholic bullshit" part of that post. As far as banning, though, no. To me, obnoxious anti-religion comments are no different than obnoxious pro-religion comments, such as a thread catsgonewild started on the Serious Business forum where he ranted about how "horrible" it is that people say Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas because Christmas is all about Christ and so on.

    Regardless of anyone's feelings about that, it should be remembered this is a COLLEGE FOOTBALL forum and not a "how I feel about religions" forum.
  • killer_ewok
    Well said, heretic.
  • Mr Pat
    Fair enough Heretic, I'll delete my posts where I quoted him.

    I agree obnoxious posts are obnoxious posts but there is a difference between catsgonewild obnoxiousness and refering to one's deeply held religous beliefs as "BS."

    This thread reminds me of the older, lesser, huddle. Absolutely pathetic. Caring about a bowl win/losing streak is pretty ridiculous.
