I find the fear in this thread very sad. If Notre Dame wants to play you, you play them. You've got to beat the man, etc.

my first thought hearing this news was excitement. Truly surprised that some here would rather a cupcake to increase our chances at a mid bowl game. i'll be more interested in a regular season game against ND than playing Louisiana in the Frisco Football Classic

Long, long way off from know what our team much less others will look like next year but i dont think this is a huge gauntlet. We can get the two cupcake non cons. Can we get 3/4 of northwestern, penn st, wisky and ucla at home? Maybe. Can we split or maybe get both purdue and Minny on the road? I think we can get 1. Would it be crazy to think we could get Michigan or usc on the road? I don't think its likely but not impossible.

Maybe we don't get to 6 wins but can we have some level of optimism?

Typically on board with most everything Whitman does.. but our program doesn't feel like we are any where close to being good enough to schedule something like this yet...
