Hey, some years that schedule with the exact same teams is by far the toughest in the nation. What are they supposed to do, go out and recruit for Michigan?

@And_You_Shall_Know_Me_By_The_T...-Its: But weaker competition doesn't magically make Notre Dame a better football team. If they go 11-1 against this group, would you really think deserved a title shot?
Notre Dame's had the same schedule forever. Sometimes these opponents are good, and sometimes they're not. But its not like they go out of their way to schedule cupcakes; they just have, for better or worse, a lot of "tradition" games.
@Chris Hanson's Axe: So if Princeton goes undefeated they should get a shot at the BCS championship, too? Hey, it's not their fault Harvard and Yale aren't as good as they used to be in the 19th century.
@bonerland: Ah, well, the BCS title is a different question. I am just addressing the issue of razzing Notre Dame and their schedule.
But I also have a feeling that the same people who are soooo upset at ND's schedule being given a shot at the BCS title were also all about letting Utah have a shot. At least if ND goes undefeated this year, they'll have beaten USC, Michigan, and MSU, three (usually) quality wins.

Some people like chunky peanut butter and some like smooth. And some people prefer to steer clear of that hornet's nest altogether!
I just want to point out that the Twins had the first pick when Prior was drafted and took Mauer instead. And the Cubs picked this asshat at number 2. And then he turned into number 2. That is all.

Oh, he did move over? Then it looks like Byrd has some competition.

The only people that dream of Lou's Rolodex are people who still use a Rolodex.

He'd be running for office in central Florida. I don't think being super old will be a problem for his voting constituency.

No disrespect, Mori-san, but I'm not sure that Fat Man and Little Boy were intended as compliments.
