Doesn't that Brady Quinn pic belong in the CTG Yag general discussion forum for "stretching Saturday" or something?
Look, this thread has gone off target, mostly due to the love to hate Notre Dame. In this thread, we're not talking about Quinn vs. Troy Smith for the Heisman. (I'd vote Smith. Quinn will get drafted higher, no college award for that, just cash.)
In this thread, we're not talking about Notre Dame's ATS record. (They're a public team, pile on some Weiss worship. Squares bet them ATS, has very little to do with their BCS, AP, coaches' poll rating. A win is a win is a win, likewise a loss, etc.)
In this thread we're not talking about college playoffs. (I think there should be. To argue against it is silly. If it's so great that every game is important, even the Michigan-Ball St. classic, and that is unique and special to college sports, then why not adopt that approach for college basketball? And college baseball? And Division I-AA football? And Division II football? And Division III football? And college soccer? And college lacrosse? And every competitive sport anywhere, college or pro or beer league, that is settled - get this - on the fucking field????)
In this thread, we ARE talking about who's supposed to go to a BCS bowl instead of Notre Dame. And the best you have for me is Rutgers?? I rest my case. Even the most ardent Notre Dame hater is going to have a little more interest in a big ND bowl game than a Rutgers bowl game, and frankly that's why ND's locked in. People care. One way or another.
