This guy was robbed of the Heisman, he was the man in college football. It was a succession of Tim Brown, Rickey Waters, Rocket Ismail, Jerome Bettis and other greats that were on defense. But ND has no respect anymore as a football program. They can't and will not get the best football players anymore.
They should not lower the academic standards, but then they should lower them. It's a no win situation if you know what I mean.
If ND wants to be a top Football team again the need to lower there academics... 70% of football players in the NCAA are not there for the Education they are there to play football... ND is on National Broad Cast almost every Saturday, who wouldn't wanna play on National Broad Cast every Saturday and get recognized......Anyway lower your standards or keep losing...
@ndluver1 You are kind of right. In the video, he does sound kind of like Chris Rock. But when you talk to him in person, he doesn't sound like him as much.
The cold hard truth is that there are few top high school recruits who are academically eligible to play at ND. ND just cant recruit the volume of next-level athletes that USC and Florida can because of the academic standard. Barry Switzer said it best, "kids today don't care about the tradition... they care about shiny facilities and starting as a freshman." I love the Irish but I dont see a way beyond the recruiting issue. Despite the gloom, that fight song is still the best in the land.
thats a good one, i forgot that all fans of college football are either students, faculty, or alumni especially all of the true fans that started liking sc as soon as pete carroll took over..

You are exactly right. ND is basking in the glow of insults right now, but they are beginning to fade. Soon, people won't even bother, because you are slowly becoming irrelevant. You are ND.
Yo.....I don't think this generation understands the legacy of Notre Dame. When I was a kid, you couldn't even imagine the top 10 without them being in it. I'm not a big Notre Dame fan, but it would be nice to see them get their swagger back.
Well, technically before the Gulf War if you REALLY want to be specific. But what constitutes "the past"? I mean, anyone that played for ND between '82 and '95 didn't lose to SC. What is the frame of reference for "past"? SC won their only BCS title 5 years ago. Is that "living in the past"? Going out on a limb and saying that 2002 is considered the "present" for you.
Hey congratulations, you won the decade. And right now, has bragging rights over pretty much everyone but Oregon State.
I love rocket. I ve been a fan of rocket's for 20 years. He was and will always be my all time favorite notre dame player. He is so fun to watch and i love this episode/ great to see another side to my hero. I remember how i got to wake up every saturday and watch him play. He is still hot today like he was then love you rocket Jen

That is exactly the opposite of the truth. No respect is being IGNORED...
NO ONE is more respected than ND. The insults and attacks are the ultimate proof. People attack those they fear, are jealous of, or respect.
