  1. You might look at that show's costumes and think it's a parody of 70s culture.
  2. Probably not the brandy. Back then priests used to patrol the saloons and any student seen in one got expelled. Also that's a lot of mule travel for one month in 1913.
  3. The list has an element of really good teams we want to talk about. I guess 2019 LSU was the breakout year for meh coach lands an exceptional transfer qb? 1924 was likely our most influential team. After it CFB instituted the rule that players must be set for one second before the snap to outlaw the Notre Dame Shift. https://goldenrankings.com/notredame1924.htm
  4. You are an SEC team now, you root for your whatever-brethren. This article's argument sums up how dumb college football has become. You should care because ND@A&M might get weighed against in the race for an also-ran playoff slot worth for maybe a 5% shot at the national title. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/columnists/blake-toppmeyer/2024/05/26/notre-dame-college-football-schedule-playoff-texas-am-irish-alabama-tennessee/73582327007/ "That’s seven spots gone. Five to go. ∎ From here, the likeliest scenario is either Notre Dame grabs an at-large spot and leaves about nine SEC teams fighting for the remaining four bids, or the Irish suffer at least a couple of losses, and they’re left to wonder, oh, what could have been if not for a Week 1 loss to the Aggies?"
  5. The Horse Soldiers could go in the ashamed to enjoy thread. John Ford's grand hamming it up makeswhat is, maybe, the 15th best John Wayne movie into a smilefest. Does it even count as a war film?
  6. Some professor experimented on himself and lost weight eating only a McDs but calorie controlled. But that doesn't disprove the point. A single mom in a town where there is only burger joints providing fast food will be going to them too much, regardless of theoretical possibilities.
  7. I hung on all the reviews of that era from both Shaggys and Landthieves. No one, until this week, complained about the ND campus. South Bend as a city only recently began to regrow an 'identity' as a town. Between Studabaker and about 2010 it was just a bedroom community located near ND. I am more worried about Elko than A&M talent in the nil era. At Duke last year, he beat Clemson and had us dead to rights but for a 4th and 16 scramble. Also we mauled our current qb Leonard at the 4:00 min mark.
  8. That model is my idea for an alumni league. Think how many people would go to an Austin Horns game on summer nights, featuring players who just didn't make the draft or are angling for a practice squad spot. It might get tricky with unlimited transfers where someone attended 5 schools and has no degree.
  9. I can't tell if NIL is a part of Title IX or not. The journalists are discussing NIL as though it was a part of the athletic budget. But otherwise T9 is not an insurmountable problem. The schools figure out what % they have to pay to the gender racket and cough it up.
  10. No one remembers numbers, what was the theme of the season? i.e. Drug dealers took a few rewatches but got better. CIA's bitch season was back up to speed. Veronica Dean, not as funny but great characters. The first wake up season was good, the rest not so much.
  11. All for it. But the Irish in me notes they are still favored by about -1.
  12. It seemed like their territory overlapped with the MAC and Sun Belt but they didn't have the programs with a bit of tradition.
  13. I'm from New Hampshire, and had no idea what they were talking about. Turns out Manchester College rebranded itself for more online appeal. It's no Texas, but the region of NH that gets the Boston media has a different feel than the hick towns.
  14. The real reason Keith Jackson retired.
  15. That inequity can be seen all the way from the SWC. The small schools still get to pad wins for UT et al but no longer got a seat at the table.
  16. That one turned into an eating disorder monster.
  17. That was the opinion on our boards. Marist was good in certain situations but would probably still be available in later rounds.
