Incredibly, it's #NotreDame game #7 and the first in a hostile stadium.


They have played 6 games and haven't played a road game. What have they done in the last 20 years to get this mystique. Congrats you were good pre-segration in college football.

What do you mean? They were the visiting team against us 3 weeks ago!

People watch them on TV and they fill up stadiums wherever they go. It's certainly unique, and it must be nice.

They have 3 true road games this year, although all 3 will be tough (@FSU, @Arizona State, @USC). I wouldn't be surprised to see them end up with 3 losses. Between those 3 roadies and home against Louisville. They turn the ball over way too much.

ND has six home games in South Bend this year, plus the "Shamrock Series" home game against Purdue moved to Indianapolis.

That is no different than many other schools, especially in the SEC, who have 7 or 8 true home games.

The difference is that many of the South Bend games were early in the season.

The other is that the away games against Syracuse and Navy were/are at Met Life and Fed Ex.

There is only one team in the land that I could root for Winston against. Go Noles

They can do that because teams like SU bend over for them.

They fill their stadium, fill other programs stadium, fill neutral venues, and bring lots of eyeballs to TV sets whenever they are half-way decent.

No one thinks the business of college football is about what happens on the field, right? I mean, we've all spent the past 2 decades learning that, right?

I don't understand the Outrage (tm).

At this point, have you convinced yourself that this is what happened back when this was originally scheduled?

Syracuse has played six games and only one on the road - at Central Michigan.

This is an interesting discussion because ND for at least the past 5 years has moved one of its home games every year to an NFL stadium in its Shamrock Series and takes the game away from the season ticket holders at ND. They do this in order to play games in areas they want to recruit better in, (DC, Texas, etc.). We get upset at the MetLife games but ND has been doing this for years.

Honestly its not outrage it's disgust with arrogance. Its mind boggling they only play 3 true road games.

I honestly don't want to get into this discussion but just go back and look at all of Notre Dame's Shamrock games they were all 1 game series played at NFL stadiums or were 1-1-1 like the Arizona State series.

Then blame SU and Navy for moving home games away from their season tickets holders and into neutral NFL stadiums so that SU and Navy could make more money off of the ND game. Same thing Army did a few years back when they moved their home game with ND to Yankee Stadium.

Why is this "arrogance"? I'm truly baffled by that characterization.

Is it "arrogant" that SU hoops can play games at MSG that are essentially home games? That we often don't play a true road game until January?

Programs do this because they can.

What teams other than Canisius in Buffalo have we forced to play their home games not at their home arena? The MSG games are always neutral site games unless they are St. John's home games and that is their "home court".

I honestly don't want to get into the SU football discussion about these ND games as people have made up their minds and discussing them now cause popsicle headaches for people.

And every so often, they fill Ireland.

Huh? I can't even follow you at this point, Alsacs. What are you mad about? ND played a couple "neutral" site games with teams that willingly agreed to do that. Why is that "arrogant"?

I honestly don't understand why you're worked up.

Since when did ND force Navy to play away from Annapolis? Navy willingly moves its home game every two years with ND to an NFL stadiumto help fund its football program.

And the point with SU hoops is that we do not give home and homes for most of our November/December opponents. They play us in the Dome or they don't play us at all. We do this because we can.

I can't stand Notre Dame no matter where they're playing.
