You're right. It's not a blowout because ND was down by 3 TD's. I mean, if the score had been closer, it totally wouldn't have been a blowout! Thanks for opening my eyes Dino.
Sure seems like I'm on the losing end here. Maybe being the only ND supporter posting while having a bunch of blind ND haters bringing down everything down. Talk about how ND is overrated. Of course you think so. You hate us. You hate how all the games are on NBC. You hate all the media talk. 90% of you are bias BSers.
Well, I checked back in here. Wasn't expecting to write anything, but had to respond to this. I'm not sure why I am getting lumped in with the "prickish ND haters who make Quinn Sadaam jokes." My points were clear days ago. LSU is clearly better. I am not a Notre Dame hater. I don't like them. (There's a difference.) LSU will romp. Russell is better than Quinn. There were no Sadaam jokes or low blows on my part. Just football talk. No BS.
I stated many times that ND was clearly the underdog but any post saying how ND has no place in this game or that ND got romped is total BS. Maybe you aren't in the 90%.

It's not blind hatred coming from that article 3rd. But don't ever lie and say that's not what you are all about.
Most teams ranked in the top 10-15 beat other top 10-15 teams, or at worst are competitive versus top 10 teams. The past 2 years ND has not beaten a top 10-15 team and has only been ultra-competitive in 1 game (home vs. USC last year). Just look at all the other teams ranked similar to ND the past 2 years and all of them have beat other top 10-15 teams. Boise State beat Oklahoma Rutgers beat Louisville Wisconsin beat Arkansas Florida beat Arkansas Arkansas beat LSU Texas beat Oklahoma Louisville beat West Virginia USC beat Michigan Michigan beat Wisconsin I could go on, but I think everyone gets the point. Until Notre Dame proves it can beat these teams, they shouldn't be playing in BCS games. It isn't fair to the fans of college football, the other more deserving teams that get snubbed, and the ND players themselves.
Oh yeah? Well IF LSU didn't let Notre Dame score, then it would of been 41-0! How the hell is a fine match 41-14? This isn't even hatred, it's your defending and optimism side towards Notre Dame, and this performance can't even be defended, but you don't say a bad thing about this pathetic team.
I have to give Dino credit, at least he is here and taking his lumps. The rest of the ND brigade is in hiding.
Are you kidding? ND played an even better game last season against Ohio State. If you're gonna dump on ND at least stick to the LSU game.
It was a fine match and a great game played up to the point were LSU broke it away. All you are looking at is the final score. To you the final score speaks for every detail.
Dino, I don't see how you can rationalize this game as anything other than an ass kicking. ND didn't deserve to be in the Sugar Bowl and they proved it last night.
They jumped to a 14-0 lead, and when it was 21-14 LSU, ND had to have been shocked to even be in that game. LSU dominated both halves. Just face it...ND couldn't play with the Big Boys this year. Maybe you'll win a bowl game this Millennium.
Easy to say that from a ND loss. Nothing will change my mind. They did deserve to be there. They didn't hand over the game. I know LSU would say they had to work hard for it.
Hahah. Whatever. The past 2 years have put ND back on the top and I'm not expecting too much next year after 2/3 of the team leave. I'll be happy with them making a decent bowl game. ND will be back in the hunt in 2 years.
You guys really just don't get it. It's so easy to say that ND got blown out when they got blown out. But let me ask you this, what if ND had won? Would you be saying they got blown out then? I rest my case.
What big game has Brady Quinn or Charlie Weis won? Jay Clausen is supposed to be higher touted than Brady Quinn, some top recruit...Regardless. You lose Quinn, Smdrardardardjza, and possibly Weis...
