RockRaines Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Completely outcoached. It's a 9-3 team at best with this many freshman, play the f***ing best qb prospect in his class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodAsGould Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 This could be a good season for the Illini, should be favorites in next 3 games although Northwestern very capable team. With Ohio State having a down season though this will be their best chance at a division title in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zenryan Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 I cant stand seeing Harris as our QB. It's amazing how much of a 180 I've done in the last 3 years on him. I dont care if he has matured, he doesnt have the arm to make the throws and our backup can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They couldn't consistently run on a grossly out-sized Army front line and Colter couldn't punish them for stacking the box. They were only slightly better on defense, didn't give up many big plays but allowed Army to grind out 4-8 yards on pretty much every play (not sure why you go with a 3-man front and play back on an option team). Then again, Persa is supposed to be back for Illinois... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodAsGould Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 From what I'm reading at least the later half of the game Scheelhaase had a sore shoulder and really couldn't throw downfield. With Western Michigan coming up next they can rest him if need be, but don't think its serious. I feel kind of scummy going to SIU but rooting for Illinois.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Huge win for ND today. Rees did not look good at all, but the defense did a great job not allowing points or the big plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notre Dame is the most hatable program in all of college sports. I feel no sorrow about kicking a program when it's down when that's all Notre Dame did for its existence. As far as I'm concerned, that program is still owed a few knocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I'm concerned, that program is still owed a few knocks. I could name quite a few programs that I hate more than ND. Not sure why they get so much hate, other than the fact that they're undeservedly in the Top 25 to begin every season. What else do they do to make people angry? I know so many people that "hate" Notre Dame, but they never get a good reason (other than the one I just mentioned). I am not a ND fan in any way at all, but I respect the tradition/history of the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted September 18, 2011 Author Share Posted September 18, 2011 I've lived in the shadow of N.D. all of my life and my job caters to subway alums, so I see good and bad. The fan base is no more entitled acting than any other school's fans that have a history of success in football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 I think Notre Dame is hated in the same way that Derek Jeter is hated. It's not because of any character flaws or things Jeter has done in the past to deserve all the hate, but because everyone over-hypes him and acts like he is the greatest thing since sliced bread. At least, that's what it seems whenever I talk to ND haters. They just hate the attention and hype that comes w/ a team that hardly ever lives up to it.

I've had typical experiences with ND fans that are just ridiculous. For the MSU game last year I was at a friend's place watching it and a few ND fans were there. One of them wanted Kelly on the hot seat immediately. Not to mention, a football program in Indiana? How were they ever good? Hard to imagine an entitled fan base for football in a well below average football state in terms of talent and popularity of the sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's also because there are a ton of ND fans and the dumb annoying ones are going to stick out more than the normal, level headed ones, which I like to think of myself as such.
