Why is the MJ logo on a football jersey?

UM deal with Nike, only football team with Jordan brand gear. Basketball is Jordan brand too. Rest of the teams have the swoosh.

notre dame at 3 IS nonsense.

Notre Dame gets preferential treatment ALWAYS. Since the inception of the BCS and now the CFP, they are the only team that ESPN, sports writers, bloggers, etc still talk about "championship implications" after two losses, let alone one. Drives me up a fucking wall!

F Me In The Brain

8 National Championships. ND is a great program. I went to USC and therefore hate ND....but you have to tip the cap.
USC at #5 is good....certainly far and away the most impacting team to the NFL but so many years where lots of NFL caliber talent is there and the results are not as good as they should have been.

Getting very excited about going to Dallas to see USC/Bama now that the Fenway trip is in the rearview mirror.

Everyone but Notre Dame fans seem to forget how irrelevant they've been for the last 23 years. They averaged a national title per decade up thru the 80s and have done diddly squat since. And STILL a 2-loss ND gets mentioned in national title talks. It's ridiculous. They need to join the fuckin ACC full-time or just get the hell out in all sports. Preferential treatment. If any other school made waves about being a part-time football member of any conference, the outcry would be an absolute cacophony. But ND does it, all's fine and well.
And speaking of Army, why didn't Army & Navy get special exception to the BCS when it existed? "The five major conferences plus Notre Dame." What made them more important than the other two (at the time) independents?

I believe they went back as far as the first collegiate title.

I don't disagree. I hate Notre Dame. But that poll was recognizing all of them.

Does BYU have that exception too?

HesCalledDyer

BYU wasn't independent during the BCS era.

F Me In The Brain

BYU, Army, and to a lesser extent, Navy, all suck at football these days.
Happy to jump on the "Stab Everything Notre Dame" bandwagon, but they have been relevant in the last 23 years.
There were a few years when Charlie Ate The Chocolate Factory was coach where they had excellent teams and lost in close games to keep them away from the title matchups. (I think one year they only lost to USC and Michigan...and the next year they were really good as well.)
They gave us Mati Te'o, which is fucking comedy gold and provides relevance IMO.
NBC makes them relevant...if they didn't have that contract they would be dust in the wind.
That being said -- fuck them!

$$ just spent on the USC tickets for Jerryworld vs. Bama. Hope we can hang in there and at least make it entertaining but will have good seats regardless.
Less than 2 weeks!

Fuck me! I think I found the one thing that would make me want Alabama win a game... USC. Ugggghh

F Me In The Brain

Haters gonna hate. That is OK, used to it. My degree has served me well and I made friends for life....having a football team to root for is icing on the cake.
What's in your wallet?

Haha. I like that. I think The Juice is a piece of garbage. The fact that he was an all time beast in college doesn't make me like him.

I watched every minute of that game and don't remember that guy. Old age.

Lol. He only had a handful of catches, so I can understand not remembering him, but both of his tds went for more than 50 yards.

And I like that shirt more for trolling Clemson than trolling SoCal/OJ Simpson.

if you didn't already know that college football is kind of a big deal.....

my buddy works the sidelines at ohio state games. AT&T just provided him with a 12 PAGE instuctional booklet on how to apply their decals to the headsets

darwinstheory

Well, I'm sure part of that is due to the fact it is at Ohio State. 11 of the 12 pages were most likely pictures.
