Palehosefan Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 I don't even know what to say, biggest win in school history. UNC only team to beat FSU and Miami in ACC. Unfreakingbelievable!!!!! I'll put it even further into perspective. UNC was missing Isaiah Thomas(best DT), Fred Sparkman(top MLB), Adarius Bowman(top WR), Ronnie McGill(top RB), Jacque Lewis(2nd RB), Hilee Taylor(2nd DE), Edwards(top OLB), and had their 3rd string RB Chad Scott run for 160+ against Miami. Overcame consecutive punts of 18 and 15 yards by UNC's punter, and two scoreless red zone oppurtunities. To top it off, their freshman kicker sealed the win.

soxman352000 Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 NU You got to love it. Picked up another solid win over Purdue on homecoming week nice. Lets keep the purple machine rolling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 Big Ten Standings (just because I like seeing NU in the top half) 1. Michigan 6-0 (8-1) 2. Wisconsin 5-0 (8-0) 3. Iowa 4-1 (6-2) How did this happen? t-4. Michigan St. 3-2 (4-4) t-4. Northwestern 3-2 (4-4) 6. Minnesota 3-3 (6-3) shocking that they aren't higher t-7. Ohio St. 2-3 (5-3) t-7. Purdue 2-3 (5-3) 9. Indiana 1-4 (3-5) 10. Penn St. 0-5 (2-6) 11. Illinois 0-6 (2-7) Also, I'm surprised to see that nobody mentioned FSU lost to Maryland. That's gotta knock them out of the national championship picture, but they still have a shot at the ACC because Miami is losing to North Carolina now. UNC has had a brutal schedule. They are actually, to my surprise, a solid team. Wisconsin is probably #1 until they lose. Big 10 needs to have a title game in case of two undefeated teams. Since they have 11 teams, maybe change the name to the Big Conference or something. 2 divisions, east and west, championship game at the end.

They'd have to add one more team in order to have the option of a title game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purdue129 Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 Ala, Notre Dame Won't happen anytime soon w/ND's NBC contract. Financially it wouldn't benefit them to join at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 You'd be surprised Why? They have been practically begged by the Big East and Big 10 to join, and they never have. It obvious the NBC money and scheduling freedom have trumped everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palehosefan Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 I'm going from memory here but, I seem to remember ND wanted to join the ACC in basketball ONLY. They wanted to keep their contract with NBC and get the publicity from ACC basketball, needless to say the ACC turned them down and took BC instead.

He_Gawn Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 ND will never be anything thing else other than Independent. Thats what they have been known for for almost 100 years. They are the most storied team in College football and will always get the recruits they want and the publicity they want. Thats just how it is. Notre Dame will always be competitive. Losing is not an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purdue129 Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 Yes and NBC will leave soon and once that happens, Notre Dame being independent will come to an end. Unless ND starts losing 7-8 games a season, NBC will hold on to the contract. I believe there's a couple of years left and the last time it was up NBC paid more (after one of ND's 'ok' years) b/c Fox made a major bid.

chimpy2121 Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 Maryland did beat FSU... ...and our back up QB (who never played in a game) had to play in the Maryland game due to Haldi's ankle but, we only lost by 3. And dont forget about us beating up on Bowling Green who is now 29th in the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palehosefan Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 Maryland has the best coach in the ACC, but absolutely no QB. They are a good team when they can find a way to generate offense. The ACC is very even outside of Duke. UNC beat Miami, who beat FSU, who smashed UVA, who smashed UNC. Its not Miami-FSU and the 9 dwarfs like everyone thought it would be.
