[Husker] 2005 NU Football Schedule Set

[Kenneth McKillip]

Scott you must know a different group of NDer's than I do.  My wife went to ND, my father-in-law's law partner is a huge supporter, I work with many Domers.  To a person they are all proud that ND plays the kind of schedule they do and not one of them want ND to start scheduling cupcakes.

Their schedule is a source of pride to them.  They all profess that good competition is what makes it interesting.  They have sort of a snobbish attitude about it.

Would ND really be better off scheduling the likes of Maine?  They're proud program with a unique reputation.  This is part of their identity.  Why turn it into another faceless Alabama or PH (Pederson Huskers) program.

  It seems to me that it could be a mix of both- after all, Notre Dame has been trying to beat the best for years now and it doesn't seem to be working as they'd wish. How many coaches have they gone through since their last national title?

  I'm not suggesting Nebraska should play I-AA teams all the time, but don't you think trying to break in a new system would be a little easier with some "easier" games? Believe me, my friends who are ND fans tell me every day in the fall that they wish ND played an easier schedule. Rockne could rise from the dirt and they still wouldn't win the title with they schedule they play.
