What was it that kept causing the game to be delayed? Weather? I don't think they clarified it enough on the highlights, or maybe I wasn't paying enough attention. Either way great start for ND hahaha, they're clearly headed on the right path. 3 turnovers inside the red zone? Now that's how you win football games.

Well, the first game delay was basically a bad storm hit the area - rain, lightening, wind, etc. But I've definitely seen worse conditions. The second delay was even more absurd, there was nothing. It was the threat of something that never actually happened. It was all around bizarre to say the least.

Big win Quake. Les is the man and knows how to keep it exciting. Oregon and Auburn both gonna be hungover from last year.

GA nots bad at all...they got the talent, coaching is suspect. That game score closer than it actually was.


I think the two schools from Oklahoma are going to be great. Alabama and LSU gonna be great again. FSU is going to be very strong. Scud's Florida team is going to compete for the top spot in their division.

Their is a ton of good QBs this year. Next years draft is going to be stocked with them.

Can the NCAA step in and force Notre Dame to join a conference? They haven't been relevant in many years and it looks like they won't be any time soon. At the least they should remove that stupid BCS rule about them.

Wu Marshall got called off early too. Very frustrating. Maybe there is a new weather mandate in the NCAA this year?

Yeah heard about that too. I think the NCAA is taking weather a lot more seriously this year than in year's past. I can't remember seeing this many games delayed, or in Michigan's case ended, over weather concerns in one weekend no less.

I'm not sure if the NCAA can "force" a school to join a conference and I'm not sure there's much incentive for Notre Dame to do so given their exclusive agreement with NBC that runs through 2015. Which is probably a big sticking point with the BCS rules committee.

That said, Notre Dame has increasingly found itself on the outside looking in when it comes to matching the success of the other major programs around the country. I think their inability to recruit top notch talent like they once did has been a major cause for their decline over the past decade. Not to mention the carousel of coaches. I believe they just stop paying Ty Willingham for his contract just two years ago.

I wonder what GMScud thinks of Notre Dame's failure to field a powerhouse.

Theyre horrible. I like the no names on the back team first thing, but they are horrible.

[Ruhskins]

Yeah I dunno about those unis...they look weird. Oh well, as long as they win, I don't care what they wear. Go Terps!
