Whaler,
I am at a complete loss for the point you are trying to make here. Notre Dame never was in the Big East in football. Are you saying that somehow the affiliation with basketball helped the football teams? Are you linking the game last night to the Gator Bowl alliance? The Big East already lost the Gator Bowl.
You are also making some point about running which is confusing. Are you saying that UConn should run a 165 pound back between the tackles more out of Deleone's stupid pro set? Kelly runs a spread, which is what a lot of us have been saying UConn should do. It helps both the running and passing games. Did you just figure this out?
Or are you talking trash about Notre Dame? If you are, this is one of the weakest threads you have ever started. Talking trash after a team is in the Top 5 when you were silent about the team before the season when everyone thought they would just be OK is pretty pathetic. Either talk trash up front, or shut up.
