1-11 Stanfurd is cryin' the same academic standards blues. Who freakin' cares. You're STILL losers. :hihi:
I would think that the Notre Dame boosters would demand that they quit exposing their facade of a football program each year in a BCS Bowl game. Maybe you should demand that they put Vanderbilt in a BCS Bowl as well so you would have an opponent of equal talent.
Speaking of this, I am surprised that LSU doesn't appear in any national rankings. The state should fund the university better and there should be an appropriate level of academics pushed by the university president/chancellor. There is a way to do that without constraining the athletics, as well. It's surprising too, I see good things come out of LSU.

oh and speaking of classless and in need of discipline, your boy samardzjia seems to have a little temper problem, he bean many guys in baseball? ndukwe had a blatant late hit, has his scholarship been dropped yet? wheres the punishment? huh? look, face it, your ass is loose after last night. ND fans need to recognize that their reputation for a good crowd(which was not evident last night at the game), mostly brought on by the NBC deal is what puts them in games where they are thoroughly inferior to opponents who earned their ways to the game because of their talent not a reputation for drawing a TV crowd.
I think this guy is a racist! He had to make the point of "BLACK PLAYERS" not being able to get in. Maybe there is more to this story then we thought. HMMMMMMMM Oh wait I remember to Hammond High Grads that were SMART ENOUGH to get into ND, acutally walk on to the field and play. BUT WERE JUST SO SMART THAT THEY PULLED A CECIL COLLINS ACT. GOTTA love those SMART ND players!
Why not make it official, and pay your players outright then? I know the SEC has had a rich, long tradition with paying football players under the table. But, then if you're going to watch mercenaries play, instead of student-athletes, why not watch professional football instead of college football. The talent level is higher at the professional level, but I prefer college football because I prefer to watch student-athletes who play for their school and for the love of the game. ND has real student athletes, and is what college football should be. People love ND for a myriad of reasons, not just because of the tradition and history of its football program. More importantly, to me, at least, is that ND does it the right way. If that doesn't appeal to you, then that's your choice. I guess, in your eyes, the recent co-national championship was a fair exchange for the recent allegations of academic misconduct and cheating. I believe that a university does a disservice to those young men, most of whom won't play professionaly, when it does not prepare them for life after football. I would not exchange the limited success ND has seen on the football field in recent years for a NC if it meant that ND would have to sacrifice and compromise its standards- low graduation rates for its football players, football majors like basket weaving, paying players, academic misconduct, allowing players to play after they break the law, etc...
Here's an essay I found that addressed this topic, concerning black players and ND: http://www.isteve.com/Hornung.htm
