I can't remember his name, but the athletic director at ND is a genius and a master of his "craft!" Each year, scheduling the majority of his program's games on home turf, and engaging powder puff opponents, he convinces a credulous press and even more credulous fan base that his team is a top-tier "powerhouse." I was raised in the deep South and was weaned on SEC football. I know what brutal schedules look like. Comparatively speaking, ND's annual lineup of opponents is a joke. It should come as a surprise to no one that when they are inevitably overranked, and subsequently face true championship-caliber competition at neutral sites, they get smacked down...again and again. Fortunately for ND fans, they can always fall back on their favorite mantra when this happens: "the refs robbed us!"
