HJS {l Wrote}:Wow... a 15-page game thread populated by folks who spend most of their time claiming that the ND game means nothing. Would kill for those same folks to show as much interest in a supposedly "more important" game against an ACC opponent. Just saying...
I think the truth is somewhere in the middle. Back when we were winning 8, 9, 10 games a year and competing for conference titles, ND was the 9th most important game of the season. At 2-8 going into last night, if you had told me we would split our final 2....yeah, I'd have taken a win over #4 ND on national TV at Fenway over beating Syracuse.
I still can't believe I saw a fucking head coach get a 15-yard unsportsmanlike penalty that turned a crucial 3rd and 6 into 3rd and 21. I can't believe we got a delay of game on a 2 point conversion. I have never seen either of those things in all my years of watching football.
