[NU Sports] 2006 schedule

[AirSnod at aol.com]

Everything you've said is absolutely true. All I'm saying is one team will  
not lose to another indefinitely. Otherwise, we wouldn't have beaten tOSU last  
year, and Harvard would still be a national powerhouse. That's my main point. 
 Period.
 
 
However, since you're comparing opponents, ND (on the downslide since Holtz  
with a TV contract renewal that may be a rude awakening to alumns) vs. the  
MAC (has been getting more exciting each year, and is the conference of Randy  
Moss, Chad Pennington, and Byron Leftwich ) I have no problem with this match 
up. I think opinions are changing,  and this ain't your daddy's (or even big 
brother's) MAC. 
 
Me? I'd rather see a game vs. a top tier MAC school, then a major  conference 
cream puff. Never been a big fan of schedule padding. Just  sayin'.

Two  responses.  First, since you've mentioned the 1995-96 season, our 
one  loss during that regular season was to the very same Miami of Ohio 
-- and  we lost to them in Evanston, just as we lost to them in 1999 and  
2003.  Second, since you mention Notre Dame, there is no downside to  
playing ND.  We have nothing to lose and everything to gain in  playing 
the Irish.  But, with Miami, the opposite is true.   There is nothing to 
gain in playing them -- and a lot to lose, as we've  seen three times in 
the last 10 years.
