Now that Saint Willingham is in charge, expect to see big ND competing for national championships on a yearly basis...as it should be. ND did get their ever-lovin asses kicked by USC and NC State, but, all in all the year went much better than I ever imagined it would. Give Ty another year to get his type of players recruited and it will be GAME ON boys.
BTW, the national championship game was one of the best college football games I have seen in a long time. Miami fans can bitch and whine all they want. The call in question, at the VERY LEAST, should've been holding. OSU scores n the next play anyway, so, who cares??? It's like the great caoch Barry Switzer once said, "referees will NEVER cost you the game; all they'll do is break your heart." Miami had the best atheletes, BUT the Buckeyes had the best TEAM. Next years preseason top five:
1) Oklahoma - although I can't stand them
2) Miami - hate them even more than OU
3) Texas - another of college football's more disgusting teams
4) Ohio State - lose no one on offense. Defense???
5) Michigan - Utterly detestable; big question here is tailback.

As a die hard, bleeding green Irish fan, the above list makes me want to vomit, but I think it will be pretty accurate.
