LSU and the Superdome

When the NCAA/ESPN does not set up LSU in the championship in the Superdome, let me know. Nothing but one big rig job. Talk about giving LSU the championship. Just like back in 2007. Losing to Kentucky and Arkansas in the same season and still was given the championship. Yep, in that crappy dome. 2003 also. They have to keep those delirious LSU fans coming back. Have to keep that stadium filled by setting up that easy schedule. Texas: Garbage, Florida: Back-up qb at home, Auburn: Terrible true freshman qb at home. Alabama: qb coming off of foot surgery. Then all those other garbage SEC teams, plus like all SEC teams, the easiest non conference schedule in the country.
 
Ha-ha! Look at this absolute shit-show your garbage of a school puts on the field.

"The echoes have been slumbering at Notre Dame for more than two decades.

The Fighting Irish really need to make some new memories.

Of course, the Fighting Irish have been through this before.

Over and over again, they’ve faced a momentous game with a shot at proving their relevance to college football beyond an iconic place in the history books, a chance to talk about something other than Rockne and Parseghian, Rudy and the Four Horsemen, the Gipper and Touchdown Jesus.

More times than Irish fans care to count, Notre Dame landed flat on its face.

More times than not, it was downright ugly.

Since the departure of Lou Holtz, who guided Notre Dame to its last national championship way back in 1988, the Irish are just 36-51 against ranked opponents and a putrid 8-28 when facing top 10 teams.

Taking this era of big-game futility to an even deeper level, Notre Dame has beaten exactly two teams over the last 22 seasons — Stanford in 2012, Michigan in 2002 — that went on to finish in The Associated Press top 10.

Most telling of all is the way the Irish have lost:

— With a national title on the line at the end of the 2012 season, top-ranked and unbeaten Notre Dame was blown out by Alabama 42-14.

— Facing Ohio State in the 2016 Fiesta Bowl, the result was a 44-28 drubbing.

— Ranked third late in the 2017 season and eyeing a possible College Football Playoff berth, the Irish were routed at Miami 41-8.


— After earning their first playoff appearance a year ago with an undefeated regular season, they were carved up 30-3 by eventual national champion Clemson in the Cotton Bowl semifinal game.

The average margin in those 28 setbacks to top 10 opponents is a whopping 35-15. Fourteen times, Notre Dame has lost by at least 20 points. Nine times, the margin was at least 30 points.

There has long been a perception that Notre Dame is stuck in the past, relying on lumbering players and old-fashioned offensive schemes that no longer work in a fast-paced game built around speed and quickness and spread formations.

But Georgia coach Kirby Smart scoffs at those who cling to stereotypes.

“You lost me there,” he said. “They recruit the same players we do. When we go knocking on doors, we’re all going after the same guys. So, they have a really good football team.”

Indeed, let’s stop making excuses for the Fighting Irish.

Like everyone else, Notre Dame is part of a what-have-you-done-for-me-lately world.

Forget the echoes.

It’s time to live in the present."

At least ND is not the most protected team in football. LSU Endowment. Not even a billion dollars. ND's, 13 Billion. You have to open up a book every now and then to get that accomplished. LSU= thug/gangsta football. Garbage. Write down all of the LSU's football players names and do the same for Notre Dame. Look at the list in 5 years and tell me what they are doing with their lives. Oh yea. What happened the last time when ND, two of their worst football teams ever, played LSU? hmmmmmm. I wonder.
