Speculation: Brady Quinn possibly ineligible for 2006?!?!

[burmafrd]

well that pretty much puts the stake in the heart of that TURD.

Even if he had been ruled ineligible he would have gotten the same treatment as Big Mike Williams, sit out this year and enter the draft. He would NOT have been a FA, no matter how much some might have wished otherwise. Whatever decision the NCAA would have handed down (had there been an actual violation), the NFL would have kept the dog and pony show of the NFL Draft alive and well by making him enter the draft.

Brady Quinn could hire an agent and then shoot and kill him and he would still be eligible to quarterback notre dame.

Well, if Lewis could get away with it, and OJ, I guess Brady probably could as well.

Considering that ND has traditionally been near top 10 in toughest schedules over the last 20 years, the canuck once again has been drinking too much.

That is the biggest myth in NCAA sports.

They played Washington, Purdue, Stanford, Brigham Young, Navy, Pittsburgh and Michigan State last year, that is a patsy schedule. Those should have been fiveor six guaranteed wins (even though they choked away the MSU game).

Yeah sure they play USC every year, but come on they always throw in their patsies to try and get a few wins, then cry about their schedule.

As an aside, it is irrelevant to the discussion that I am from Canada so your reference to me being a "Canuck" is silly.

Look I can't stand ND, but let's not be silly.

They may not have had a tough scedule last year, but on average over the years they do have a pretty tough schedule.

Once again, this comes from someone who hates ND.

You also have to realize that some of these scheduled games are made a few years in advance through deals and at the time a team may have been better than they are at the time they actually play.

And to suggest that history has no bearing on the present is being short-sighted.

The fact that ND football evokes such passionate hatred can be traced all the way back their emergence on the national scene. Their biggest supporters were mostly poor Irish and Italian Catholics. The fact that those groups were also targeted by the last major Klan resurgence occuring during the same time frame isn't merely a coincidence.



I'm not saying that racism is the dominant reason for today's hatred, but even you can't deny that there is a residual effect still out there.

I hate them because they get away with crap calls at home, they don't have to share their tv money, all that Touchdown Jesus bs and the fact they refuse to join a conference. The fact they are run by catholics has no bearing on my hatred.

Notre Dame Sucks!

Root for the Buckeyes!

So we break a few laws now and then and we're good a covering them up...Big Deal as long as we win.

 

[burmafrd]

So its a crime that ND does not join a conference in football. BOOHOO.
ND has had a lot of calls go against it over the years. Leinart & BUshes little dance should have been called. Blind hatred is blind period.

 

[Glenn Carano]

Never seen ND in Bowl Games they had no business being in?

When other teams were FAR more deserving.

That's not an example of an NCAA infraction being overlooked because it's ND, that's just a sound business decision.

Isn't there some huge Guelph vs McMaster game you can worry about up there?

Canadians are fairly boring at the best of times.

Canadians are fairly boring at the best of times.

And the Irish are fairly drunk at the best of times

Regulars on the ND schedule:


Southern California
Michigan
Purdue

Michigan State
Stanford
Navy


For 2006 and several other past years they also play
Air Force
Army

I cannot remember the last time they played more teams over .500 than under.
