[NU Sports] NU/ND renew football rivalry - just announced onMike&Mike ESPN show

[Beamsley, Jeff]

I LOVE IT!

If you want to be the best, you have to play the best.

What better way to throw down the gauntlet for all those folks from the
Chicago area who currently make the weekly pilgrimage to South Bend.
Now they will have a choice.  Drive to SB to see ND play BYU or stay
home and see NU play Nebraska.  

If NU wants to be Chicago's BT team, we have to start acting like it.  

That means nc games that people in Chicago are going to want to see (ND,
Cal, BC, etc.).

It also means that the BEST of the BT will be playing in Evanston too.  

I'm sure the Fitz is all in and ready for the challenge.  

This is our opportunity to demonstrate that we CAN play with the big
boys.

Jeff

Another big score for AD Phillips - Notre Dame, in OUR house!

I just wish we had a bye before the game in South Bend so we could enjoy
two weeks of reliving the 17-15 game. :)

Our NC schedule has certainly been beefed up and I LOVE this game -
especially that it's a home and home ... not home and Soldier Field or
home and two away. Nice job all around by Phillips!

However ...

You can't ignore that when looking at our schedules for the next few
years now that it's gonna get awfully tough, awfully fast. Our Big Ten
schedule now includes five of the following six (OSU, UM, Wisky, Iowa,
PSU and Nebraska), plus our annual Illini rivalry, plus always tricky
Sparty, plus Cal/BC/ND (Cal and ND both in 2014). That's not just adding
a few tougher games - that's playing 4 or 5 of the legendary names in
the sport every year, along with 4 or 5 other pretty darn good teams.

Can Persa stay another 4-5 years? :)

But overall, kudos to Phillips and everyone at NU - this is a huge coup
and I can't wait to see the F'ing Irish walk into Ryan Field and see the
place packed in PURPLE!

GO CATS!!!
