Mass delusion is my answer. Notre Dame should be on par with the Hoosiers as far as FB recruiting goes, but then Rudy comes out and suddenly a mental paralysis sweeps over the nation. I hope NBC (a flagging financial disaster already) is happy with their 6-7 win team. The greatest irony of Notre Dame's existence is the fact that with the talent they bring in, there's no reason on earth they shouldn't be in the BCS hunt every season. They play a string cupcakes and service academies and still find a way to be mediocre. Notre Dame invents ways to lose football games. Hopefully NBC will go under and be forced to cancel the contract. Then that useless relic of a program will be out of sight, out of mind.
