I think one team has to beat the other 10 straight times to claim the trophy. Winning it would be more meaningful ... and delay it's possession until 2021.

This is wonderful news!

ND will never be irrelevant as long as they have such a loyal and large fan base. My wife is catholic and from a small farm community in Western Iowa. Her dad, who never went to college, listened to every ND game that was on the radio and his one dream in life was to go to South Bend and visit...

I hear you - I just noticed the other post and now understand what you were trying to do.

Well, I think the original post topic was misleading to say "Horner is not joining staff", when in fact this has yet to be determined.

Thank god for "diversity". The coach must recruit diverse students for his diverse staff working in a diverse environment!

Actually I always thought Michigan had one of the highest standards, so this surprises me (if it goes unpunished). Remember Gary Moeller? He had a .758 winning percentage and won or shared the Big Ten title 3 out of his 5 years there. They kicked him out because of a drunken incident. I'd be...

BA96 - Well, it was a clever analogy even though historically inaccurate! Can you say, "Bring 'em young!"

I'm sure because of the BCS Orange Bowl victory, our graduation rates, etc. that all our assistants got paid a big part of their bonuses. In comparison, McCarney at Florida makes $300,000 base but Florida gives no bonuses (there's a joke here somewhere about Florida giving bonuses for graduation...

I was at the Orange Bowl and DVR'd the game and the pre-game show. After watching the pre-game show, I became convinced that we weren't going to win the game, even tho I knew the outcome. I mean, we didn't have a chance!! :confused:

Hell, we even booed the Georgia Tech BAND! That's the one that bewildered me (and most of the fans near me at the Orange Bowl). These are students just trying to support their school by playing a musical instrument and they get booed?

this is my first time in a couple decades - peach bowl, when we beat tennessee.

All well and good, except the cover letter stated that if you are interested in optional tours sign up no later than December 17th. I still don't know why the original packet didn't include the "initial Day-by-Day Itinerary" which was supposed to be one of the enclosures.

I got my Iowa Alumni Assoc. Travel packet in the mail last week, but without an initial day-by-day itinerary (which they said was enclosed). Same thing happen to any of you? The only reason it matters is that there are some interesting "optional activities" that i can't commit to because i don't...

Definitely going (for first time!). Decided that at 6-0 ... now the bowl game just keeps getting better and better. Will probably opt for the Miller package - heard great things about it.
