Damn, Huskernation20 took my answer !
I could accept the USC loss (even though the team was woefully unprepaired)
But the Ball State fiasco was the straw that broke this bug eaters back.There is no reason on earth we should beat them by just one point,no reason, our second stringers should be able to take a MAC team.Also living in "The Repulic of Notre Dame" i.e. Indiana,I would have had to commit seppuku to save my honor.
P.S. I hate Barry Switzer
