Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 3760161, member: 7492"] ND has fallen off, they fell out of the top 25 preseason poll vs. being an annual top 5 program. However, just like Mark Twain, the rumors of their demise are greatly exaggerated. Charlie noted correctly and many agreed, injuries this year have taken a huge toll-so I say to their opponents, take that opportunity NOW and beat them as this program will bounce back into the top 25 before we know it. Maybe this year but definitely next year. As far as Texas goes, let's throttle back the enthusiasm and expectation this year. They beat SMU, Univ.of North Texas and La Tech. Not exactly a murderers row of teams. How they do tomorrow vs. a good Texas A&M team will be a very good litmus test. Doubtful that they beat Baylor this year but that's why they play the games.
