Why is Notre Dame scheduling teams like Navy and Air Force? They can't beat teams like that.?

Question

Weis should hand in the headset now, to avoid further embarassment.

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A D-II or III classification would appear to be in order.

Answer 1

i'm pretty sure those are traditional games for ND...been there for a long time.

Answer 2

1) Notre Dame likes to play against schools with equally high academic standards. Football recruits, like all of ND's admitted students, must demonstrate that they can pass freshman calculus. Obviously, the pool of jocks with the brains to pull this off is rather small. Notre Dame battles the Ivies, Stanford, and the service academies for these players.

2) Air Force was a highly regarded program under its former coach Fisher DeBerry, regularly winning the WAC against teams packed with dumb jocks. Navy and Army have obviously seen better days on the playing field when they produced Heisman Trophy winners like Roger Staubach, Doc Blanchard, and Glen Davis; but both have become more competitive of late. Navy went to a bowl a couple years back; not bad for an independent with no conference tie-in.

Answer 3

Ya comprehend what close UP!!!! hear to me, i've got self assurance Notre Dame performed a a million/2 respectable Penn St. group, the #2 group in the country and the a danger ACC champion Georgia Tech. in the 1st 3 video games!!!!!!!! How demanding is that! They play between the toughest schedules in the country!!!!! Notre Dame should not be #a million yet thay are absoloutly no longer overated!! What the heck are you thinking!!!! they are ideal the place they might desire to be!!! Whos your well-liked group, Ohio St., Florida, Michigan? i've got self assurance those 3 tems performed Northewestern, Indiana, and a 5-5 South Carolina group!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! do no longer even think of roughly asserting they are overderrated!!!!!!!!! close UP all people who do think of that!!!!! I recommend WOW Georgia Tech, PSU(whom they killed by utilising the way) Michigan, Mich.St.(for Mich. St. it rather is there super bowl!)Purdue,(opposition interest)and finally USC. Now you will sit down on your yet at your computing device and tell me Charlie is an fool and Notre Dame is puffed up. WOW Florida, WOW Michigan, WOW OSU. good interest beating up on the little sisters of the undesirable!!!!!! Notre Dame merits to play weaker warring parties sometimes merely like each and every the different communities. in accordance with this question i wager you think of Youngstown St. ought to be #a million. GOOOOOOO IRISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 4

They play those schools every year. Last time they lost to 2 service academies in the same year was 1944. Weis will fix that though.

Weis doesn't pick their schedule either.

Answer 5

It's tradition for them to play the three Service Academy's (two each year).

And since my father graduated from the USAFA I have seen quite a bit of them and they don't get near enough credit for their athletes. They don't have the luxury of having Lard's on the O and D-line's. They also are on a very strict schedule and are more disciplined than your normal student-athlete. I get very irritated when people on ESPN and everywhere else don't give them any credit. They just see a name and automatically just think they suck.

Answer 6

It is tradition, they always play 2 out of the 3 service academies every year. And umm Duke has a better record then the service academies do. More then likely this will be Charlie Weiss last year. He sucks.

Answer 7

It is tradition. I was just going to ask if ND ever lost to 2 service academies in the same season.

Answer 8

do you guys realize that if UCLA's QB did not get hurt in the Notre Dame game Notre Dame would be 0-10 right now???

and they fired Ty Willingham because what?????

Answer 9

I love it too.

Next year they are opening up against Sisters of the Poor.

Answer 10

Get a grip...They'll probably give him another year...If they were gonna fire him, they would have done it last week after Navy...Maybe they still will if they lose to Duke, who is probably more pathetic than Navy and Air Force...
