NUance Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 That’s gonna be a great series. But who to root for? I think I’m gonna cheer for the referees. Quote Link to comment

Storied program for sure... I'm no fan of either, but are you disputing Brown's comments? Really? Most wins: #2 Texas, #3 Notre Dame Nat. Championships: Texas: 4, Notre Dame: 8 Maybe Brown engaged a a bit of hyperbole, but he's not far off the mark. Maybe you think he should have acknowledged Nebraska's greatness while discussing a Texas / Notre Dame series? 1 Quote Link to comment

I am thinking the part of "nobody has more historical programs...." is the part w/ the problem; see also Bama, USC, Michigan, if you want to go w/ wins or championship talk. 1 Quote Link to comment
bbeerma2 Posted August 8, 2010 Author Share Posted August 8, 2010 I think you could argue a team which did not win a National Championship until 1963 is not as historical as say, the Service Academies, nearly the entire Ivy League, Michigan, Minnesota, Penn State, USC and the list goes on and on. Although they have been playing and winning games since an early era, they were not very relevant until much later than most universities in the national picture. I'm not arguing they are one of the best of all time, but their contributions to the early stages of college football are not very profound. I just love the fact he used "nobody", typical egocentrism out of Austin 1 Quote Link to comment

Maybe you think he should have acknowledged Nebraska's greatness while discussing a Texas / Notre Dame series? I'll dispute them. Texas for the most part played in a Texas conference aka SWC. The only outside team was Arkansas until they left(early on OU and OSU but didn't stay long). How much credibility can Texas have when most if not all their teams in conference were also in state? not much. Quote Link to comment
irafreak Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Is this a move to ensure they get national title game considerations with their soon-to-be weak conference schedule? Quote Link to comment
illnino Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I know most people on here hate UT and ND, but I think this could actually be an alright series. I'm not a fan of either one, but I think Brian Kelly is a good coach who's going to turn that program around. I bleed Scarlet and Cream, but I also enjoy watching big time programs play against each other. Quote Link to comment

Also lets forget that in 1969 Texas was presented the national title by Nixon before they even played Notre Dame in their bowl game and had a 35 year title-less drought that wasn't broken until 2005, while Notre Dame has only won 3 titles since the early 60s (my opinion in which college football began its modern era)... Just for what its worth haha I honestly see USC, bama, ou and us all above them Quote Link to comment
