Duke scored 38 in regulation in South Bend. We scored 37 in regulation at home. Duke scored only 14 on Wake Forest and 13 on Northwestern.... I am officially now in panic mode about our team. (May have to replace the "help me manage my expectations" thread with a "help me stop panicking about the rest of the season" thread.)
THIS is bitter sweet... I am for the Horns and whomever is playing ND. I LOVE to see the domers lose. However this loss to Duke doesn't help the Horns SOS. Otherwise - screw the Irish and congrats to Duke!!!
No offense intended, but are we worried about SOS now? Our situation is quite concerning after this loss. Let's hope Charlie can fix in two weeks what he hasn't in two years.
It's always good to see Notre Dame lose. I'll think of it this way. UT crushed their spirit which led the rest of their losses.
Wow. Quite a few people on here jumped my @$$ when I said ND was not a big win. I said they were overrated based on who came back and QB controversy.
You have to DO SOMETHING in basketball first to be a basketball school. We are a VOLLEYBALL SCHOOL !!!!!!!!!!!!
This is proof of my contention that preseason polls are worthless. And btw, we do have cause for concern, love my Horns but we potentially are in for a long and oft frustrating season.........but I'll be there.
Not enough respect being given here. Very quietly Duke has gone bowling 4 straight years under Cutcliffe, finished with a winning record three of those years, and a national ranking one of those years. That's a heck of a lot better than us.
There was some talk of panic... here's my panic scenario that just flared up last night with LSU's loss to an average Auburn; LSU (or even USC) grabs Herman while Texas slow-peddles the decision on Charlie (assuming the team struggles as any rational person must now consider a distinct possibility). It appears Sumlin has saved his himself unless they collapse but they appear to be a legit team. Not a contender to beat Alabama (though they've done it before) but Chavis has righted the ship on D.
Why, is Touchdown Jesus due off the injured list sometime soon? Or was he suspended and is now being reinstated?
