<p>Is it me or does ND's football schedule look easier than normal next year. i even remember seeing them ranked 23 in the preseason polls!!! Teo will help, but I think ND is ready for a double digit win total and hopefully can break into the top 15 this year on a consistent basis.</p>
<p>Notre Dame used to be the place that all us "papists "could depend on to stand up to the “redneck horde” schools like Texas, Oklahoma, Florida St., Alabama, LSU and Georgia. I don’t think we have beaten an SEC or Big-12 team in the 21st century and now we fear even trying.</p>
<p>My son was a walk-on player for seasons '05,'06, and '07. We beat Tennesse 41-21 on 11/5/05.</p>
