It's also possible that a tsunami covers NY in water tomorrow...not likely, but Discovery says it could happen...You can't predict either UND or Purdue as 11-0 with a straight face...Hospitality is nice, but you took it to its edges in that part of the interview.

BGS says their team is young- 6 returning starters on each side of the ball and 1 special teamer isn't too young. Florida and aOSU both contended for national titles with fewer returning starters.

A friend of mine once said, "bad teams are perpetually young..." I think the adage is correct. Until they're successful, most units will be viewed as youthful because of the fact that they're prone to mistakes and seem to be in a constant state of tumult.

Tenuta, to me, is the reason for all hope in South Bend...and the reason for trepidation among UND's opponents. He's a very good coach. But, if Weis does not allow him to have complete control over the defense, things could go South quickly. Also, if UND struggles stopping the run this year, they'll be lucky to go .500; even with their pillowy-soft schedule.

J money --

We all know how ND can get ona roll, and there really is no one frightening on their schedule before USC. I'm not saying it will happen, I am just saying it's possible.

I also think it is possible we will finish 11-1 this year because we face a very similar schedule, but I certainly don't think it is going to happen.

"Being 11-0 heading to USC is possible..."

It is? I think you've lost your mind, good sir.
