Trying to Rhyme Barack with WAC

This week, Sprout and Eric hit on a topic that everyone had once in his life: Should Notre Dame join a conference?

Let's keep it nice and simple out of the gates:

    We’d win the WAC every year if Boise State can win it. Boise State lost to Washington last year…

    First time, long time….

    Joining a conference is an awful idea. This is coming from a guy from Michigander living in Ohio (thank god for only 4 more month, but I am an Ignatius supporter. Go Jesuits.)

    Keep up the good work boys. Go Wildcats, Go Cubs, Go Irish, F— Michigan.

    Re Tailgating: Last time I checked, it was supposed to be 18° on Saturday. At what temperature does beer freeze because I’m sure 18° is pretty damn close.

    Looking forward to the weekend and the UConn game. Shoot me an email when you guys figure out when you’re making the trek down.

    Not to mention the trash that Gody usually gets to fall wasn’t even close. The guy’s going to get you 25 and 10 a game but it doesn’t help when he’s not going to the line 15 times for freebies and shoots 30% from the field.

    The recipe to shutdown ND: No threes and harrass Gody while not putting him on the line

    We can’t keep a MAC team from scoring 80 so something needs to change

    Dudes…Boise State has only gone to the BCS once. They are always undefeated, but rarely ever go. They get to go to the Humanitarian Bowl. Bad idea. WAC. Geez guys.

    Peder on January 23rd, 2009 at 12:52 pm

    The idea here was that you’d have to be in a conference to make the playoffs. If Boise St can go undefeated in the WAC, we could go undefeated in the WAC. Thus, we’d be in the playoffs every year.

    Ya know?

    Your iTunes link isn’t working.

    Joel on January 23rd, 2009 at 6:05 pm

    Nice find Joel – it’s working now. The internet can be a tricky place.

    Who are Lori and Kevin, and how can I convince them to get me a one for the other thumb shirt?

    Big Ten Divisions once ND joins –

    Minnesota
    Iowa
    Notre Dame
    Northwestern
    Michigan
    Michigan State

    Ohio State
    Purdue
    Indiana
    Wisconsin
    Illinois
    Penn State

    Not much of a geographic pairing, but two evenly split conferences for football and basketball. Uncle Steve and I have had this conversation before.

    Also, Lil E’s “New Hampshire?” was creepily well done. How recently have you watched that movie?

    A$%&#! Lawyer on January 23rd, 2009 at 7:04 pm

    She’s JoePa, Tess and Mike’s aunt. The shirts were accompanied with reeses peanut butter cups and cookies. That’s how we do.

    Also, we are hanging out with David Grimes tomorrow. Look for us on GameDay.

    And “What about Bob?” is a biweekly showing.

    Sprout on January 23rd, 2009 at 7:21 pm

    Wait, so do i need to have an internet show to get Ignatius T’s and reese cups mailed to me? shucks.

    Cal on January 24th, 2009 at 8:52 am

    yup, the perks are small but appreciated.

    Sprout on January 24th, 2009 at 8:58 am

    Athletically, the Big East is best for Catholic Colleges in all sports except Football.In the Big Ten, ND would be the team to hate (like BC in the southern leaning ACC). Academically, there are some benefits to the Big Ten; however, there will be a big gap in athletes’ admission and graduation requirements. The problem with Independence is scheduling and conference referees. Big East referees killed Willingham and hurt Wise (Pitt, Syracuse,etc).It is better to play on the road with nuetral referees. I read there was a movement to remove referees from the jurisdiction of Conferences. Watch them fight this like an early signing perioid (beach anyone in Cal & Fla.), and penalties for poor graduation rates. It appears status quo is optimum.

    Does any one know the official date of the Blue and Gold game? How much do tickets generally cost? Can you buy them at the door? I am a subway alum that grew up in Ohio and Florida and i am now living in California. This will be the first time i will set foot in the house that Rockne built. So if anyone has any answers to these questions please let me know. Thanks!

    John B on January 25th, 2009 at 4:24 pm

    I don’t know about Urban in a couple of years. I would like him to come in 7 years, and after Charlie has one 1 or 2 Championships himself. Go Charlie! GO IRISH! We are 100% behind you guys. Beat usc!

    John B on January 25th, 2009 at 4:40 pm

    Tickets for the Blue Gold game are generally cheap…$20 or something like that. You can usually buy them at the local Meijers in S. Bend/Mishawaka.

    Speaking of the Blue Gold game, we should meet up for that game. I think it came up in conversation on Saturday…but I had Scotch on the brain. I vaguely remember making the trek from into the game from the parking lot.

    Clutch on January 26th, 2009 at 8:37 am

    Alright…here are a couple vids from the UConn game.
